‘Tis the season (for me to get emotional seeing bunny and squirrel tracks through the snow in our backyard, they’re so little and it’s so cold, and I hope our shed is providing adequate shelter for them 😭)

I’m not entirely sure why the animal crossing Thanksgiving event involves all your little villagers putting on straw boater hats, but I think that’s something we should adopt as a tradition in real life

I can’t watch the new Quinns Quest yet (our internet is out from the weather and I don’t want to use all my data streaming video) but I remember in 2019 someone told me that “RPGs that look like board games” was the next big thing and I remember being annoyed even then because I knew he was right

I downloaded a new phone game last week and my reading rate slowed way down, so I have deleted the phone game. Relearning this every three months or so.

I've gotten much better about buying even more clothes I don't need (I have SO MUCH clothing, because I hate doing laundry), but the first really nasty winter winds of the year is a good time to buy like........ a big stack of new warm pajamas, right?

Hey did you know my brother is also here and is also very cool and does cool games stuff
Heads up that my sister is a thousand times better at the whole “Writing RPG Materials” thing than I will ever have the patience and drive to be.
If you're into them, you should grab my in-development games as community copies, because that means itch will let me email you dev logs when there's updates to them! Even if you don't think you'll get around to reading it for a while (or ever! I know how it is!), it tells me people are interested!

I feel bad when, as a QA tester, I think that my devs are being straight-up clowns, but honest to god, I am in clowntown. this IS my circus, those ARE my monkeys, and I do NOT wanna see it. these are "turn my camera off because I am no longer capable of putting on a polite expression" meetings lmao

the thing no one warned me about when hanging out with kids is hearing a 12-yr-old try to say "but [2 yr old] is doing it!" when you tell her not to do something and you have to be like "that's literally a toddler. you are much bigger than a toddler." I was not prepared to have to explain this lmao

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

taking a quick scroll through a tag on ao3 and then going on an extended rant to greg about how literally everyone else is wrong about this ship and I'm the only one who approaches it correctly (and that's why the other two people in this extremely dead fandom have more kudos than me)

re: getting Collegiate Gothic out as an ashcan next year, and also my ongoing bit of playtest covers looking like penguin classics, I've been toying with some possibilities for this one and really indulging in my love for, and I quote "that fuck-ass millennial instagram filter"

I really enjoyed playtesting this game! And I think the changes Alex outlines here will make it even better, so I'm very into this!
I've written up the #Metatopia2025 playtest notes for my upcoming game "Escape the Apocalypse" and you can read them here if you fancy a bit of insight into the development of a game
