Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme?
3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice”
Me: ..K I was thinking like “dinosaurs” but let’s put a pin in “piss fountain of the dead”
Here's the April edition of Thinky Third Thursday, the monthly roundup of thinky puzzle games that have caught our eye:

In puzzle game design, there's sometimes this strange window of puzzle possibilities that relies on the solver not knowing the full rules. This has happened a few times to me already (Workworkwork, Abdec, work-in-progresses) and I haven't yet found a consistent way to address it.
I gave a talk at AdventureX last year and it was a great experience all round! If you have an idea, submit it here 👇

I love this movie
A chewed up label once presumably attached to a mains plug that is partially illegible. The following can be read: MPORTANT E WIRES IN THIS AINS LEAD ARE OLOURED IN RDANCE WITH THE OWING CODE ELLOW - EARTH NEUTRAL LIVE
This feels like a clue you'd find in a resident evil game or smth

Temu ads on Instagram - the most psychedelic artform today. The ultimate comment on the surreal illusion of capitalism. The matrix revealing the matrix.
Yeah,
This is the kind of shit I learned Graphic design for.
Whilst it's a suboptimal experience, Kitkats are just biscuits and therefore can be dunked in a cup of tea.

A fully cut sheet of lino of a fish
Three lino cut fish printed on a piece of fabric
I'm going on a trip with some friends soon and due to some deep lore our chat name is "Fish Bags" so of course, everyone gets a hand made Fish Bag for the trip 😌💖
Every day a new fresh hell, it'll be back to regular news which I'm sure will be worse 🥲
Ya girl is a key note speaker at the Escape Rooms in Education Showcase this year ✨
An episode of House MD called 'Of Leaves' where he realizes that the hospital is slightly bigger on the inside than the outside.
I keep falling for April Fools jokes today when will the horrors cease
Thanks for the April Fools I fell for it and almost booked flights 🥲 i really wanted to see the garlic ore @patheagames.bsky.social
The best part of working in the board game industry is getting together and coming up with what lie we're going to tell on the side of the box about the average play time. We laugh and laugh, it's a really good time.
On this Trans Day of Visibility please let it be known I am VISIBLE and LOOKING FOR MORE WORK so I can REMAIN VISIBLE and also have money to pay rent
Oh no! Tbh that might be on me - I was definitely learning as I went! These ones are the most straightforward IMO:
Mixed triple lemon in French town (11)
Gang around? I'm down to play (6)
Animals afar in hiding (6)
Kitchen utensils serving up cruelty (7)
Panicked by returned desserts (8)
Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.
Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
