What are your top four movie genres? Mine are:
I don't want to do a bunch of stylish violence but looks like I gotta
The absurd pretense is taken extremely seriously to its logical conclusion
Unbearable tension
Just some friends having a laugh, sometimes things blow up

quirky detective is extremely effective (to share with my wife)

Goal for next week is to write a blog post about driving @helloitskali.bsky.social insane because I couldn't write anything for the Dukk Börg adventure until we figured out how the non-euclidian elevators worked and the importance of turning into the skid of your own brain.

Gettin' some games packaged up, yeah yeahhh
We need a new furnace, so every game you buy right now goes directly to the keeping us warm in the winter fund.
