These recognitions, coupled with our linear relationship (and antagonism) with time, are a gut punch.

My big miss was David Byrne's American Utopia, which I missed on Broadway and then I missed the tour. One night I was motivated to figure out seeing it, and I discovered it was happening ~that exact moment~ at the Mann and I read breathless tweets and skeets about how great it was. 🫠

I saw them on this tour in Upper Darby in Jan '14 and perusing my emails, I had an extra ticket. I would have loved to take you. ❤️

Cheap Week was one of the last projects I worked on at GameSpot -- lots of great ways into the theme here, including Tom's video below www.gamespot.com/articles/wel...

I don't think friendslop is a pejorative, and I suspect some amount of this trend is a case of parallel invention. But also so excited to get my Big Walk on. 👀🚶

I'm so pumped for this! (A rare game to get me to deal with in-game voice chat)

I would *absolutely* love a lesson on this. Knowledge trade?

Happy Deltarune Ch. 5 release day to all those who celebrate. (And if you don't partake, hey it's only $25 and there's still two more chapters to come!)

It's a 3d-printed fake, but the cutout in the chassis can fit one. Could hook it up to PC in there over USB, and then imagining something like .bat files that would automatically launch different games, and somehow close them upon eject? But for now, it's fake.

Will release the files and some build instructions when we're done.

I know there are ways to request a torrent to be seeded - surely some data hoarder has the original torrent live somewhere

Good eye! We're splitting audience between new and old while we iron out the kinks — will be full new in the next week or so. (Thanks for the kind words on the new design 😊 )
