Crazy to think that the developpers of The Spirit and the Mouse and Squeakross: Home Squeak Home put their differences aside for this collaboration

Would you care for a marvellous bit of papery escapism to help you leave this world, of sociopathic billionaires and political gits, behind for a minute?
We can sort you out with a lovely art book.

I miss stand ups and meetings even if they are all business was nice just knowing people were out there in the remote space that was work.

Making a multiplayer game about forming real community with strangers is exceedingly difficult, but the results we see happening even in alpha are wonderful. It reminds me of old forum days but taking place in a video game ❤️

Happy World Kindness Day. 🧡

While working on Spirit Crossing, we often discuss how we can encourage both kindness and a sense of community.

Today, we're looking to our Alpha players to share their favorite moments of kindness found in-game!

Here are some of the things they had to say. 🧵

Animated this short bit for a Nick ID, with SpongeBob popping up and making a face. In my files it’s listed as “NICK-SPLAT”. Probably 2001-02?

(2) An Armstrong factory image from the same catalog, credits as above.
A factory scene showing workers operating a large linoleum press. The workers are seen on three different floors as what looks a single sheet of linoleum, with a tan and reddish-brown checkerboard pattern, threads its way through the press. “This giant rotary press at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, produces Armstrong's Straight Line Inlaid Linoleum. Standing three stories high, it is so controlled and synchronized that it operates with the precision of a fine instrument.”

Coin telephone, c. 1960s
Compañía Telefónica Nacional de España

Seen on display last Saturday as part of a numismatics exhibit at the National Archaeological Museum, Madrid
A photo of a wall-mounted pay telephone with a silver exterior, black handset and rotary dial. There is a narrow window into the enclosure that allows viewing of the coins inserted, I presume?

I realized I’ve been unfairly favoring ginger cows this Bovember, so here is a lovely brunette to make up for it.

I try but even after 14 years in this industry I have very little clue how people make and keep friends especially when dealing with how when the job ends you all just go away and that tends to be it and people just stop responding. Glad others make it work but I have no idea how they manage it.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.
