Good morning and happy Friday!

Why don't you make like a tree and slowly grow while helping others around you grow too.

I hope there isn't a bloody glass coffee table... That shit from Lost Highway is seared into my memory. 😂 😭

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Seriously though, which book is this one from? Just curious if anyone knows.

We hit our funding goal! Someone just pledged $10k and put us over the top! ... Now for stretch goals!🔥 📈

Also, we're on the front page of #Kickstarter!

Am I Ugly? So this is kind of awkward but it’s been on my mind lately and I know it’s probably nothing but I’ve gotta ask. And be honest, because I need someone I can count on to tell the truth. Okay, so…do you ...

I started doing level design for this cozy, co-op, sandbox game where you play as woodland creatures in a fantastical, Victorian-era, setting. Riding an owl as a mouse is the best! Please support the Kickstarter and Wishlist on Steam! #cozygames #steam #kickstarter

there are so many people looking for work in the #gameindustry right now.

it would make so much sense for people to open up their own indie studios with all that talent floating around and make cool creative shit that most of the AAA studios wouldnt dare releasing. #gamedevjobs #diyordie
