at first you think "ah the dog is passively having fun" and then you realize the dog knows how to steer the skateboard and THEN you learn the dog knows how to PROPEL the skateboard

Corgis have an extremely low center of gravity and the density of a dead star.

PERFECT for skateboarding! 😇

Oh my god! Our latest Terratopia trailer has attracted an honest-to-god hater!

If that doesn't mean we've made it as a videogame developer, I don't know what does! 🤩🤩🤩

A censored YT comment saying "Yeah yeah, I am a nagging whiny poopy head, and everything I said should be discarded and not thought of, lest the inherent wrongness of it taints someones mind. You have clearly demonstrated how clever and wonderful you are. Go forth in the splendor of your objective factual correctness, and never let anything challenge it."
