Great turnout for today’s #NoKings protest in Orlando
The Long Walk is excellently timely for its commentary on toxic vs positive masculinity and on the casual destruction of life by the crushing wheels of society.
We literally sold out 😆

Had a blast on stage with my improv fam!
I hope your brain will respect birthday law and let you get some rest!
In Orlando? Want to see some pro improvisers at work? If so, this show is not the one for you! But if you’re up to watch some beginners run around and have a blast, our Improv Showcase is October 1st at SAK! Come on out!

I actually liked the rhythm of the blasted steps runback.

Now Bilewater… that is a whole different beast…
This was one of the hardest things I have ever done in a video game

Trailer for our new #inidegame called Penguin Colony! We are collaborating with Lenval Brown (Disco Elysium, Ultrakill) to bring this unique re-imagining to life

The great thing about Silksong is that every time you feel like you’re bad at it you know you’re not the only one feeling that way.
This dude doesn’t have a name in game, but they could have called him “Pogo Tutorial”. I went in but a Pogo-Boy, and came out a Pogo-Man. (After many avoidable deaths)
Woo 🦅
Go birds
Maybe I’ll make another PlayDate thing.
For the first time in 15 years I’m not working in games day-to-day and it feels weird, but PMing some non-game stuff means I have a lot of energy for improv classes.

Some big news - after generous support from Screen NSW last year through the Digital Games Seed Development Program, my 1990s-MicroProse inspired space ship command game, Deck & Conn, is being published by none of than @microprose.bsky.social itself!
Deck & Conn on Steam
Take command of a nuclear-powered space corvette in a Cold War-flavored sci-fi campaign. Balance tactics, crew, and limited resources in a dynamic forever-war. Retro pixel art meets deep strategy fift...

Signing up for an improv class was a good decision.
K-Pop Demon Hunters was really pretty
Political news these days is like “I heard you like distractions so I put a distraction on your distraction to distract you from your distraction”

DMs are always open if anyone wants to talk about freelance composing/audio rates with someone who is both frank and nonjudgemental 😇
Also unless you’re an astronomer how often are you really using “parsec”? Probably just got buried in the brain attic.
It’s just an increased lookup time.

Our old brains have too much in them. The database is overloaded and mostly pop culture, song lyrics, and things we did that one time that we can’t ever forget.

And then parents have the extra load of children’s TV shows, YouTube vids, and sing a longs.
