Fun run, lots of XP.
A run of Maze Mice. I am playing as Humphrey on The Racetrack and I have a lot of marbles on the screen. I am level 153 at 9 minutes 55 seconds. The results screen for the same run of Maze Mice. The game ended at 10 minutes 10 seconds and level 158.

That was fun. I'm probably forgetting something.
A list of video game categories with images slotted into them. Such as "first game you remember playing" which is Pokemon Snap. And "favorite game" which is Virtue's Last Reward.

I was invited by @roguelike.club to give a talk at this year's Roguelike Celebration!

I'm equally excited and nervous since it'll be the first time I've ever given a talk like this. Hope you tune in!

Event schedule: www.roguelike.club/event2025.html
Luck be a Landlord - 10 Lessons Learned I'll be discussing 10 lessons I learned during the development of Luck be a Landlord, the slot machine roguelike deckbuilder. My goal is to share the knowledge I've gained with aspiring game designers and developers.

I guess I'm @localthunk.com now.
An AppSpy article that uses my name when referring to LocalThunk. It reads: Creator LocalThunk recently confirmed that the update has been delayed until 2026. While the post stated that Dan Dilorio felt bad for breaking his promise, he said admitted he shouldn't have even announced a date for Update 1.1 to begin with, adding that he's "slow." Dilorio explained that he started off developing the game as a hobby and has been struggling with the pressure and timeline of being a professional developer. He expressed that he was "truly burnt out" in late 2024 after the mobile version (us, woops) came out. After a break for a few months, Dilorio got back to work.

A reddit post with the text: I can't get enough of watching Mrs. Fruit eat her fruits. There's something so satisfying yet so utterly obscene about waiting patiently for a full minute as the board fills and empties and fills and empties with fruit after fruit as she chows down. Recently I decided to try and see how far I could push it, first trying to get to 1,000 then 10,000. Now I might even go for a 100,000. The last digit gets cut off by the row to the right, what would happen if there was another digit?? I'm afraid to find out, yet I can't stop. My entire deck is built around keeping her fed. It's all for you, Mrs. Fruit....
