Definitely reaching the convention point where “physically present” has to count as “being social”.

Apologies in advance to anyone who says hi at AdventureX and gets an awkward blank expression for a few seconds. Brain works slower depending on the number of people around :-)

Finished a fun evening of hanging out with people, and now for the customary mental replay of everything said to find the best oops moment to fret over for the next few months.

Excited to be staying in a hotel room designed by the famous architect Little Timmy. It’s amazing what a little faith and a copy of DoomEd can do.

We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

Here are some highlights of what you’re in for in Episode 1 of @podsthething.bsky.social, including part of a heated debate (or de-bait, if you will), the challenges of doing Shakespeare on microphone, and that eternal question: what am I saying?

ICYMI, I was able to finish a video that I was close to deleting because for two months, I was depressed and had writer's block. I guess sometimes publishing a video is its own reward.

Finished Dispatch. One of my surprise favourite games of the year, even if the final episode was a little bit cut-scene heavy.

Hah yes this.
Some of the books I loved as a teen have really not held up, while others did and are clearly excellent.
But there were books I was also just not ready to read, and my opinions on them were a waste of space.
