Reminder that applications to the Experimental Games Showcase at GDC are still open until October 23! If you're working on something interesting, submit it! We want to see games that surprise, delight, and inspire. fr, one of my rubrics for curation is: "Makes me go 'woooooah' when I look at it."

Thanks! Can't believe I'm already halfway through the 30's, but grateful for what health and sanity I can still cling to as time careens forward!

35 years down, and boy are my arms (and my back, and my brain, and my soul itself) tired...! Eternally grateful for a job and many good and kind friends, trying to appreciate it all each and every day as my industry and country actively tear themselves apart around me in a race to rock bottom

I've been meaning to upgrade from my decade (?) old wacom pad for a bit - if you don't have a home for it already I'd be happy to take it! Can do the 400

Send us your experimental game — we wanna help you show it off! Get a chance to share your project onstage at GDC next spring, and help us inspire more people to make strange and experimental projects that change how we think about games. <3

Nolan's "Odyssey" poster with Matt Damon in a greek helmet and sword, it looks like he's angry and shouting something. The movie title and subtitles on the poster are replaced with "Where the fuck are my fucking keys" implying Matt Damon lost his keys and is very upset by it
