Finally got round to watching this. I love that with every interview new things come out about the production. Such a nice, humble team. (There are a few spoilers) #ReturnToMonkeyIsland #gamedev

Happy anniversary, Return to Monkey Island (2022) 🥳 I was on holiday when it was released so I played it on the Steamdeck in a hot tub which was different. I loved it. The ending was beautifully melancholic, relatable, and will stay with me for a long time. #monkeyisland

I'm on Tumblr now, by the way (piecesofkatecreates). Haven't got the hecky peck how to use it but feel free to follow me. I should warn you that I'm using it pretty much exclusively for X-Files / fanfiction. Once I figure out what I'm doing.

Been thinking about Thimbleweed Park again and how each character has a different vomit animation. Agent Ray - the Swirly Hurl Delores - the Straight Vacate Ransome the Clown - the Half Barf Now that's inclusive.

Sometimes being an editor is such a frigging curse, because when I try to write something for fun I keep second guessing myself, rewriting, cutting and then wanting to put it back in and... Oh, hell.

There are so many good things about 'Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose', but I love this scene. Mulder looks like a little kid sat in the back, irritating his parents 😂
