It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
Software development rule: if you haven't tested it in over 3 months, it's broken now.
As of right now, for one brief, glorious moment, I know of no work that needs to be done to get my game into a state where it can be shipped
Item restoration happened faster than anticipated; all items from the original release are back
I know of no remaining bugs whose effort is worth the impact
Back and better than ever: The Quadbone! This was always a fun weapon, but it had a hidden effect that I never quite got working on iOS.
Each successful hit carries a small chance to resurrect a nearby enemy to fight for you.

There's this influential first person game from the mid-2000s that's a short but very tight experience, isn't gun focused, has unique gameplay mechanics, is all about platforming, only received one massively expanded sequel, and has an ending theme song called "Still Alive."
No wait, there's two.
I am down to 5 bugs that I haven't actually been able to reproduce in a week and might not exist anymore
No doubt I will find more as I go through regression testing, but I actually feel close to being able to making a Release Candidate.
At my gym there is a morbidly obese sexagenarian who's never done more than 1/3 of a rep and who burped in a woman's face the first time I saw him.
How is he the apparent social alpha at this gym?
Is there a name for when you feel like both Montresor and Fortunado?
Pixel art illustration of a space scene with two planets orbiting each other. The planet on the bottom has a small moon behind it. The colors of the piece are blue and purple.
I hope one day, we will get to visit other planets too.
The Artemis II Mission is so cool

We are sorry to hear of the passing of Yoshihisa Kishimoto, creator of the legendary Double Dragon and Kunio-kun (River City) series. WayForward was greatly inspired by his works, and it was an honor to explore the universe he created.
Nah, nothing cute, unfortunately. They should be an hour or two each, at most, though.
10 known bugs remain.
I think this means it's time to accept that the artist just isn't going to deliver 90% of the art I paid him to make, so I just need to reuse the shitty lo-rez stuff from iOS.
They are exhausting as a DM, but in truth it flies by, especially as a player.
IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.
(But matt will start those sessions early and there'll be warning.)
There is a very real, palpable hangover to running a 7-hour closing session to a TRPG.
I'm getting myself all the little treats today, from a fancy cherry protein bar, to a fancy cinnammon protein bar.
A Canadian recently confirmed to me that, despite him personally understanding NotAllAmericans, the bullshit 51st state comments have damaged our reputation for generations, there.
I am longing to return to regular amounts of embarrassment and shame for our actions.
There's always time for fun...It's Friday night.
Animorphs for PS1. No notes.
I remember trying to explain how in Animorphs dogs possess the spirit of a dead alien race whose last remnant of their civilization are dog robots that live among us disguised as humans, and just, listening to the words coming out of my mouth and feeling insane
This is so, so well-articulated.
Gay turtle may or may not be alive. What is truth in 2026?
My attitude towards 4/1 shifted from naivete in early childhood, then hypervigilance.
Now, I see 4/1 pranks as being so cringe that I've reverted to a vulnerable naivete.
You think lies are fun? What went wrong in your life?
Burndown update: 19 days ago there were 14 bugs left. I have fixed 30 bugs since then. There are 14 bugs left.
Happy 4/1!
Game screenshot in the middle of the Dark Pope fight. Projected from a hologram, we see the pope menacing the player wielding a butter knife as his minions and acolytes swarm the room.
Deep Lore: You can see from the butter knife Dark Pope was in the middle of supper of minced baby seal when he was holo-summoned to this fight.
In 2009, this seemed like a cartoonishly evil act fit for the leader of a shadow government. But here we are.

I made some theme music for a family of Russian occult gangsters operating out of New Mexico (from our Werewolf the Apocalypse game), and I had a lot of fun doing it

Everything about ophthalmological healthcare is weird.
