I’m obsessed with Ecca Vandal! 💙💙💙💙💙

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

Jason Falkner - Both Sides Now (w/ lyrics) YouTube video by The Power Pop Fan

Jason Faulkner's power pop cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" might as well be my favorite cover.

This guy gets it.

End of an era 💔

Okay! Thank you!

The world is upside down and I need to know how far in advance you wanna hear about games I’m making (not running kickstarters this year! 😳) tell me tell me when you want to know the details? Do you like a surprise? Do I tease it out? (Is this teasing right now??) I don’t know!!

SUBMISSIONS FOR TALKS AND SHOWCASE GAMES FOR PIGCON ARE OPEN.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL but it *is* a very fun convention for indie game devs you don't want to miss :)

Anyone else experience flights ✈️ where they say— ohhh we don’t know if we can bring out the service cart because of possible turbulence! — and then there’s like a very smooth flight and no drinks and snacks?

Reviewers: if something doesn't seem right about a game, please take a moment to re-read the rules or even reach out to the publisher or designer for clarification before publishing a review. That extra step can save heartache and damaged reputation on both sides.

See you this spring 😉🌟

Thank you! I’m sorry! Hope to see you this week!

I’ll be at gama but won’t be on this panel!
I’m sorry!
ILY! See you all soon!

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Awww I’ll miss you!

I’ll share pics of my new games soon!

Winning the Emerging Designer Award last year was such an enormous honor, and a peak for my career thus far.

I never imagined or expected to win—so I just want to offer similar words that @stoichamster.bsky.social offered last year:

Don’t count yourself out before giving yourself the chance. ✂️🎲

Except for the loft, I would love to retire in a tiny home. This one makes my fairy tale loving heart happy... youtu.be/Pt-r8D6AziI?...

Rebecca Sugar's Lonely Magic Tour | MAGFest 2026 YouTube video by MAGFest

The video of our performance with Rebecca Sugar is out!!

My work with @Rebecca, Aivi & Surasshu @aivisura.com, and the Steven Universe team stands as some of the proudest work of my career.

Funny, I don’t feel any stability at all. Like I truly wish I felt anything was “stable” right now 🫠

The pro-AI, anti-game-designer nonsense Suz is quoting below is on LinkedIn, in the comments on a post by the SAME PERSON about how AI told him to *walk* to the car wash. (The cognitive dissonance is killing me!) Here's what I replied over there:

We do this work because it’s meaningful to play in a world that shouts at us to stop and settle down, be adults.

We do this work because of the joy it brings to people. Play is a tradition older than the concept of time itself.

If this work lets us survive, that’s something to be proud of.

Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.

Same!

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Hey, Texas! Very, very important. Please spread the word!

How magical is your Rescue? Barkane the RPG you play with your dog is coming! #dogrescue #adoptdontshop #dog #barkane #ttrpg

Can we maintain a sense of playfulness, caring, and punk rock dedication to our visions? Can we be responsible stewards of our wonder-filled planet and everything in it, while not taking ourselves too seriously? Can we hold onto that childlike joy that gives us permission to explore, and appreciate, and be free? The existence of Katamari Damacy gives us a glimpse into a world where we can.

Re-read the fantastic Katamari Damacy book from @lauraehall.bsky.social and this reading, at this time in my career, hit like a ton of bricks

This ‘Galaxy That Wasn’t’ Never Bore Any Stars Astronomers announced the discovery of a starless cloud of hydrogen gas, a pristine relic of the cosmos that is almost as old as time itself.

Astronomers have discovered an “almost-galaxy” called Cloud-9 (no, really), a failed galaxy that contains no stars. “There’s nothing like this that we’ve found so far in the universe.” [nytimes.com]
