LADY: Sorry, it's really my fault for asking you

ME: [mysteriously decided not to tell the frustrated airport patron that they're a doofus] Sorry

Ettin @ettin.itch.io · 7h

At the airport and on the way home. Just tried to help an old lady who was struggling to check in with a QR code and watched as she accidentally closed the window with her pass, then got mad at me for ruining it because she didn't have Google Wallet and couldn't get it back (it was open at the time)

I am absolutely gutted to hear of the death of Rob Wieland, literally one of the greatest tabletop reviewers and commentators we had. Tirelessly tracked industry news, omnipresent in our collective circles and communities. I am so sad for his young family. These are dark days, friends.

It's the day after PAX and you know what that means: if any pals want to meet in Melbourne before I fuck off around 4PM, hit me up

so the doctor says "you should check out this comic. it's only four panels long, but it's really evocative. really puts things in perspective" and the man says "but doctor, I'm not a patient here. I'm looking for my fiancée"

Guy who keeps a respectful distance but loudly says "Hey"? That's secondary protagonist material

Every good story needs at least one character who will take the furthest urinal if it's empty but choose violence and stand right next to the other person if there is one. I will not be taking questions.

Workshopping a theory about designing characters where you think about what they'd do if they went to the toilet and saw a row of 10 empty urinals vs. a row with a single one being used in the middle

Had a conversation about games with @duffo.bsky.social that inspired me to revisit my monster brawler game Sukeban Dracula and rewrite all the rules, again. Still using Lumen though

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

This year you get a cool ibis pin if you scan a bunch of QR codes on banners cleverly hidden around the convention. Someone spread photos of them before they even went out, so I've seen people just scanning their mates' phones. Game design
