My publisher just cancelled the book I’ve been working on for the last 3 years, due to pandemic. Fully written and edited, with illustrations by the incomparable @sonnyrossdraws.
Are you an agent or publisher looking for a illustrated guide through the history of fun? DMs open❤️

If you’ve ever done this to any artist over something they made, you are a worthless blight on society and should be forced to lick the floor of a subway.

Please appreciate @JustinMcElroy's face at the upper left when I quietly slaughter him at 10:20 and then act like a dumbass for the rest of the round:

Small child in our office for bring-your-kid-to-work day:
“Why’d the astronaut have a long face?”

“Because he’s a horse.”

Hollow Knight is 10 bucks on Switch right now. Unquestionably one of the best games I’ve ever played and a total freakin steal at that price.

We have to face facts: Video games are training tools. Every day, impressionable kids are learning how to engage in perfect tea time conversation.

You gotta give it up to @hellogames. They could have easily vanished in the night after launch. They’ve really done right by their fans and the game they believed in with these free updates. polygon.com/2018/7/17/175812…

You may recall that my book was killed by the pandemic ☹️

I went to a Q&A for The Lighthouse and asked Willem about the challenges of giving a speech while mounds of dirt were being thrown in his face
His response was basically: “Are you kidding? That was a fucking blast!”
He just radiates passion for his job and I’m here for it.

Can’t really express the enormous appreciation I have for you all. Woke up this morning to a gut punch of an email, ending the day with my heart so full it could burst.
Thank you all so much for the signal boosting and shares to keep this project alive! ❤️❤️❤️

To that end: I've invited @stevenspohn of @ablegamers on next week's episode to offer his insight and he's awesomely agreed. I can think of no better voice for the accessibility community and we're honored to have him.

apparently this dumb tweet turned into a lightning rod for all sorts of nonsense
the intent: video game graffiti, even in the year 2023, is still hammy and on-the-nose — which is fine. this is a game about space zombie scientologists, after all 🤷♀️
