It's my favorite time of year: When I get to create goofy videos, gags, and puzzles with and for cool people.

But who got the best colors?

“We need Adrian Tchaikovsky on the line RIGHT NOW!”

Things that are silly but real and fun are the things that work for me. For example old Thinkgeek gag gifts you could actually buy like the TaunTaun sleeping bag, or Halo Reach Chess.

Squeakcross!

Lucasarts is right next to it too, and you can find a neat Yoda statue out in front of it!

Walking the waterfront or by the palace of fine arts has always been a favorite for me. The botanical gardens are really nice too!

If it helps, while it has twists and turns, it’s a pretty hard movie to spoil.

That is way more complicated than I visualized when you posted about this before, and it is coming out incredibly well!

Definitely was a thing in the halo games where a gun (I believe it was the sniper) was being reported as underpowered until audio was changed.

Weirdly, I think the Mora Jai and Pump Room puzzles are more programming adjacent than the Billiards puzzles!

Every single Super Bowl advertisement next year will be referencing it in some way.

Steakhouses, especially on the East Coast, are in danger. As are many relationships.

Can we talk about the massive cultural collision the NFL has set up for 2027? When, for the very first time, the Super Bowl will occur on Valentine’s Day?

Hi r/relationships, I (46M) feel like I’m putting in all the work in the relationship with my spouse (4,400,000,000 S). Should I be setting boundaries?

The problem with marrying the sea is that you have to do 50% of the chores.

Not 100% thrilled about a world where health care is effectively “just walk in and give them a copy of your resume!”

I’ve been to the local indie DEFY wrestling, and it *does* feel like that (though with tremendously more athleticism). The crowd is a ton of fun, and the show has regular wrestlers like the Randy Myers, who has the catchphrase “Consent is Sexy”, and invites other wrestlers to kiss him.

I’m kinda weird because I love just sitting with it, climbing tech trees, moving little ships around, and discovering new surprises. But that same thing can feel super ponderous and frustrating to folks.

I’ve had a really good time every time I’ve *finished* a game of Twilight, but the finish rate is like 20% as folks run out of time, or get frustrated by the speed. I love the game a lot and look for opportunities to play, but only get to play 1-2x a year.

Just think of them as dozens of little tubing forks, making the audio sing!

We had to put half a tube of pipe insulation in the same spot, which made things sufficiently awkward for cats. Not sure it would stop yours though 😆

I really want a sound bar, but it would ruin the whole scheme, and couldn’t be fabric covered.

Pill Syzygy is an incredible and terrifying turn of phrase.

Marathon releases March 5, 2026 and is available for pre-order now.

There has to be a gamedev equivalent of brasswork. Possibly documentation?

“The devil himself could never invent,
A material causing more world wide lament,
And in Uncle Sam’s service about ninety percent
Is BRASSWORK”

Not quite the same, but if you ever want to work on an old lighthouse and do gamedev in the evenings (with no local power or signal) I know a guy 😆

Shawna: “Hugs do not count as putting pressure on a bleeding wound!”

The fog has turned the Seattle Space Needle new year’s fireworks show into a Winamp visualization, and I’m loving it.

I’ve worked with Robert professionally, and while I have not transacted cards, I would sincerely trust Robert to treat sales with seriousness and care.
