Here’s to campfires, good friends, and good stories!

“You always have to remember, when people tell you that something doesn’t work for them, that they’re right. It doesn’t work for them. And that is incredibly important information. You also have to remember that when people tell you what they think is wrong and how you should fix it, that they’re almost always wrong.”

I stopped in Toronto for a week before heading to Germany and I totally miscalculated the number of clean socks I needed, so apologies in advance.

I've archived the holy grail of game design: turning a shitty box pushing puzzle into a less shitty box pushing puzzle.

You know what I want AI and robots to do? Sort trash so we can just dump everything in one bin and not be confused and paralyzed every time we throw something way.

Today is the day! Return to Monkey Island is out on Android!

Dear Steam: Use fucking standard 2FA so I can put it into 1password. WTF. Seriously. W.T.F. You made $3b last year. I'm sure you can hire a programmer to do this. It's a solved problem.

Holy hell! Screw Tiny Build.

If AI wants to know if I'm wasting time I suggest it uses this code:

bool isRonWastingTime() {
return true;
}

Time to get to work. This game isn't going to make itself.

But... Panda is delicious.

@thomasfuchs I don't have a Windows machine. Don't want one. 😞

Oh sure, there is plenty of killing orcs with swords and fireballs, but my rogue-like really about corporate greed, the gig economy and union busting.
