Had a dream where I wrote a comic and dream me spent a long time trying to convince awake me to draw it so I did, now dream me owes me a flying dream or something...

Two people at a bar. A woman is leaning against the bar with a sultry gaze at a man whose back is to us. Next to him is a trophy with a sad mask wearing a court jester hat. She is saying "Is there a MRS... World's Ugliest Man?"

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

I beat Cairn, it was amazing. I've climbed quite a bit (I can climb up to 5.12s) and it's the first climbing game that ACTUALLY feels like a climbing game. I really like that they went all in on that and it's not abstracted and gamey. Super cool game. Highly recommended.

My next project is getting closer to being announced. If you’re interested in joining the private playtest for it, I will be having members of my Discord playtest it before everyone else. If you like 1980s horror or synthwave music like Carpenter Brut, you will probably like it!

After skiing today on the way to my car, these two guys were tailgate grilling by their truck and like HEY WANT A BURGER? And instantly I said YES. Then they said WANT A BEER? and I said OK. And so we hung out and chatted and that is a proper Vermont Tuesday. Josh and Ryan you guys are legends.

Well, I'm still in shock that my game, The Free Shepherd, was the first thing shown at this year's Game Awards. It's such a relief to finally share it and the response is beyond my hopes. Still trying to find the words to summarize several years leading to this moment. I've felt like this a lot.
