This painting is inspired by this passage in The Little Things That Kill- "We rocket through the portal and enter a sea of stars from distant galaxies. Up ahead a towering cloud, gorgeous and terrifying, drifts in space like a cosmic ghost." What does it look like to you? #booksky

Morgan Hetherington of 3D Retro Tributes FB group sent a box of 3D prints he modeled for me to sign for an MS charity drive. Really fun to hold physical reproductions of games I’ve worked on! Next, ship them to him in Ireland! #gamedev #retrogame #ZakMcKracken #RescueOnFractalus #ThimbleweedPark

Kids start developing social connections in their pre-teen years. One of the questions we can ask to help them make good friend choices is by asking, “How do you define a good friend?” Luckily, kids have a good sense of right vs. wrong, so you’ll often get good responses, like these. #socialskills

One of the (if not THE) most useful tool for designing adventure games: The #PuzzleDependencyChart. Don’t confuse it with a flow chart, it’s not a flow chart and the subtle distinctions will hopefully become clear, for they are the key to it’s usefulness and raw pulsing design power @grumpygamer.com

In his perpetual effort to distract from being credibly accused of child-rape in the EPSTEIN Pedo-Files, it's time for the Presidunce to arbitrarily rename something again, since renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America went so "well".🙄 Seems Canada & the Internet have a few thoughts... 🇨🇦

Back-to-school means back-to-friends. Teachers help kids build academic skills. Parents help kids improve social skills. Ask your child "What makes a good friend?" Help them understand that when you ARE a good friend you're more likely to HAVE good friends. #booksky
