Excited to announce that I'm going to be showcasing my game at the booth! I'll be there all day saturday, so stop by if you want to say hi and play my silly little game about a giant robot that eats stars!

Who made the decision that some game programs would have up be in the negative y direction? I just want to talk.

Beautiful environmental storytelling at the local Michael's.

A spray paint shelf with a sign reading "DO NOT SPRAY SPRAYPAINT!!" Both the shelf and the sign are covered in paint.

Panel 1: "Grappler Type Relationship". It's a man in a suit with their hands up in a powerful stance. He has a bouquet of flowers in his left hand, and his right hand is open. He has sunk into the wedding altar he's in in this stance, sending some chunks of it into the air. Sliding into him is a woman in a wedding dress, but she is equally yolked, and honestly coming at him like a bullet train.

Panel 2: "Zoner Type Relationship". It's a girl in pink and purple, and a guy in green in blue. They are standing far away from each other along a sidewalk, giggling and blushing while looking away, and throwing gifts at each other. Flowers, candy, a teddy bear, a wrapped gift, and ice cream are flying through the air. A man with a dog stands in the background, looking.

Contacting a big business is like, we can't help with that, you actually have to talk to the Head President of Employee and Customer Marketing.

❗️EARLY GAME SILKSONG SPOILER ❗️

Crest of the wanderer is nice and all if you're a fucking coward. I'm going to retrain my muscle memory to use the dive even if its the death of me. /t

I have to take a break from playing Silksong non-stop so I can get ready and go to comic-con this weekend. In other news my lobster is too buttery and my steak is too juicy.

It is difficult to continue making my little games when I am terrified all the time

Contacting a college is like, our department actually can't help with that, you actually have to talk to the second cousin of the head of Student Registration Affairs.

Just managed to get the particle system to look the way I want it to and its not really impressive enough to justify showing it off but I'm very excited about it.

To be clear: Not funny haha, funny weird.

What's funny to me about escalators is that they're only half accessible. Have trouble with leg pain and walking up stairs like me? Escalators can provide some relief! But gods forbid you can't walk or stand.

Made some fanart of @marlowedobbe.com's character Trixie! I think it turned out pretty nicely, tried some stylistic stuff that's new for me :>.

I think I might make polycule ship art of ABA, Paracelsus, Testament, and their two succubi. I think that'd be kinda based and fun.

Don't feel too bad, as an American I had much the same thought process when I saw GOP as well lmao

Me and my partner are currently hiding in our bathroom because there is a bee and a wasp in the living room. Please send help.

Looking for Wiis to buy online means sometimes you bump into people who have full collections of games that sound like they're from an alternate universe. Saw one person who only had Spiderman movie games.

Surprisingly, I get about the same amount of frustration headaches when I code something in html and css as I do when I use other coding languages. Who would've thought?
