Does the engineer from factorio count?

Page one: text on black background, “WAKE UP!”. Eyes open, a baby sea turtle with an eggshell helmet says, “you need to wake up!”

Page 2: helmet turtle says to a green baby sea turtle, who is waking up out off his egg, “we need to get moving.” CRASH! A cormorant breaks through the ceiling of their nest hole. Helmet turtle says MOVE!

Page 3: “when you’re out there, beeline to the water. Don’t stop. Don’t be a hero. Godspeed.” The helmet turtle kicks baby green turtle out the hole off a cliff onto the beach below.

Page 4: baby green turtle lands on the sand. The distance between him and the water is quite large. Another baby sea turtle is being devoured by a seagull and is screaming for help.

I dreamt of the beach (1/4)

It's funny how they've clearly had to shrink Greg and Alex down in this picture so they don't tower over the other contestants

What about Cher?

Hell yeah

The sheer scale of a billion dollars can be hard to understand. Let me put it in perspective for you. You would have to earn a dollar a day for a billion days straight to have that much money.

World’s fattest parrots set for mating bonanza after bumper berry crop After a four-year hiatus, conservationists in New Zealand are relieved that the flightless kākāpo is once again breeding. Fewer than 300 of the parrots exist.

Happy for them 😊

Seeing a new Adonis post every day is genuinely one of my favourite things about this site

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

You feeling okay, man? I’ve noticed you developing some darker themes that contrast with the whimsy of your earlier installments.

Oh yeah, the slingshot was annoying too

I played dark cloud when I was really small and I was so disappointed when the cute cat got replaced by this strange woman

Do NOT wear clothes

This is a bit off topic but I'm always impressed by the vfx in your videos, even for throwaway shots like the bubble car in this one

some loosely organized thoughts about dialogue sysin games think of this as me trying to find out what parts of dialogue choices are load bearing game design and what else can be done with dialogue.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! I HAVE WRITTEN A NEW ARTICLE!

this one's a bit weird; rather than doing my usual "trying to organize my thoughts and building a winding case that builds on itself," I decided to show you what my EARLY article creation process looks like:

I write middle-grade whodunnits, so you might want to dismiss my opinion out of hand. But I think cosy games/crime sometimes miss the fact that blankets are only cosy when it's cold outside. A world without conflict / a story without stakes isn't cosy, it's just safe.

Oh yeah, that's the stuff. Thank you

I need to see this video compressed to 240p

Helldivers 2 feels great though

Citadel and storm

update: male loneliness epidemic solved

That's absolutely beautiful. I'm listening to the album now too and it's some good stuff
