To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:
- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

Last week: enjoying burgers with cool people at AdventureX. This week: sitting with a slightly sore mouth from having dental surgery.
Last week was better. Although if it was yesterday, the flaccid burger I had at the Travelodge would make it about even.

Definitely reaching the convention point where “physically present” has to count as “being social”.

Apologies in advance to anyone who says hi at AdventureX and gets an awkward blank expression for a few seconds. Brain works slower depending on the number of people around :-)

Finished a fun evening of hanging out with people, and now for the customary mental replay of everything said to find the best oops moment to fret over for the next few months.

Excited to be staying in a hotel room designed by the famous architect Little Timmy. It’s amazing what a little faith and a copy of DoomEd can do.

We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.
