All this for a sequel to a game that was just kind of okay.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 reportedly still in development 18 years after being announced, now a "solo-first" adventure www.eurogamer.net/beyond-good-...

Let’s say… hypothetically… a man eats two 10 inch Italian subs in one day. Would he die or would he be okay? He’ll be okay, right?

First pass of a redraw of the characters from the 1989 NES game Sweet Home. I wanted to give them a little more character and to make them resemble their movie characters a bit more. #pixelart #sweethomenes #redraw

My son asked why I like torturing him (I said he can’t have dessert before dinner) and I told him I don’t like torturing him but I have to do it because it’s my duty as a father. I gotta tell ya this cross is heavy.

Life is an unbearable nightmare which is why you have to find the joy in all things you do. You have no other choice. It’s that or lose your humanity.

My son has been really enjoying Blood Dungeon, Megabonk, and Vampire Survivors so we are making a game like that about goblins. Gwobbins, as he calls them.

My son watches this show on YouTube called Sheriff Labrador and they started using AI for backgrounds. They changed the entire art style of the show to match the AI backgrounds so they don’t look out of place. Absolutely insane.

When people say “I’m not gonna lie” it’s like… yeah man that’s implied. You shouldn’t be lying. Why would you say that? How much of what you say is a lie if you need to clarify?

Whatever, man. Bruce Campbell will live forever.

Hey this is different, but DF let me pitch and lead a little game for our new experimental Double Fine Action Labs label! It's a hectic bus-like slap-em-up!

Double Fine@doublefine.com

Announcing: Thank You Bus Driver! Our very first Double Fine Action Labs title, this is a fun-sized, chaotic game where you take on the role of a town’s bus driver trying to get through the day with minimal rule breaking and maximum gratitude. 

There is so much money in the world and I should be allowed to have more of it.

Sorry it just occurred to me that there may be people who haven’t seen clip from the Quibi show where Rachel Brosnahan plays a woman dying because of her golden prosthetic arm and I needed to fix that

Out of nowhere he sent me a link to this article. I’m gonna lose it. federalnewsnetwork.com/federal-news...

Was talking to a family member about industry layoffs and such. He told me “maybe you should start thinking about other careers outside of games” and I’m still mad about it 6 hours later. I don’t have anything to say about it I’m just unbelievably mad and needed you 🫵 to know I’m mad.

Gonna start a YouTube cooking show where I make beautiful recipes for my 5 year old who refuses to take a bite and tells me “that looks like yuck”
