It was deeply burned in my mind because I was over-the-moon excited about it. IIRC I also checked on my mom’s calendars a few months after, I wanted to know the day.

Today, I celebrate 38 years as a professional Game Developer!

It's been a crazy roller coaster, but what a ride it has been.

This summer also marks the 40th anniversary of our family getting an Apple ][+, which started my game dev journey.

Thanks for playing and/or working alongside me, folks!

Tonight. One of my favorite movies, often my favorite. The theatrical cut, the proper way to see it, is finally back. #cinema #amadeus #film #4k #theatricalcut

That said, The Silver Cow is definitely speedrunnable. Or at least a very quick play. 😆

Nice! I shoulda made a real game with that engine. But we made the three Dark Design games, so in that zone…

Heh it’s just a few things on I think a 64x64 map. 🤷

Cuz it’s a parody. And not much of a game heh.
