WE DID IT. Making a game is a crazy crazy beast, and it obviously doesn't end with launch. But it feels nice to have this thing out!

Last chance to get the Sheep plush! Not to be doing self-promo but I'm trying to avoid the disappointment in the eyes of people who walked by my desk when I had the Chicken plush last time and were like WHAT I CAN'T GET IT ANYMORE www.makeship.com/products/ult...

Sometimes Spotify makes some bold choices—I'm just here listening to some chill Iron Maiden in the morning and it's like "maybe you want SLIPKNOT??? RAAAAGHHHH" ...I'm cool with it

NextFest is today! Now we pray to the gods of software to keep the game-breaking bugs at bay 🙏 (and we also did QA and stuff but you know)

Not really a life hack but you can just steep mint leaves instead of getting mint tea and it's like 1/8th the price

New blog post! A design analogy for being a little kinder: richardatlas.com/2025/09/13/d...

A drawing of a squirrel that says "Sir Von Dreymenhymer, 19th century German squirrel architect". The image actually has very little to do with the post, which is a link to a blog post about design. It involves being critical of design without understanding its constraints, and somehow in looking for an image the author found and chose this one to represent it.

Trying to put the graphic design learnings to use working on the Montreal Games Week branding 🤘🏻 (very much not a graphic designer but working on it! And no the red isn't actually that bright don't worry)

Is there such thing as trying to avoid bias TOO much in interviews? ...Wearing the same basic shirt to all three interviews so that someone doesn't, for example, comment on my band shirt and I like them more for it

Best question on our management feedback form: What's the most annoying thing about your boss? What do you complain to your partners/friends about: "ugh my boss always does _____ and it's really annoying!" Obviously employee's answers are going to be toned down, but it's been very revealing!

Our lovely Rat friends just launched their game!! Been eagerly watching their progress on Kickstarter 👀

Still 3 days to back this important project by @anima-interactive.com on @kickstarter.com ! The game tells the stories of migrants and their harrowing but hopeful journeys across the southern US border: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tak...

Does drinking out of a mug with my own name on it make me a psychopath? Found this mug and I have no idea where it's from or why I have it but it was the perfect size for my oolong 😭

Not sure if everyone knows this but if you press ctrl + ; it opens up an emoji window so you can put them anywhere in any typing application. Only Windows shortcut worth remembering (other than Win+shift+S).

Tip for people at #GDC who are running around too much from meeting to meeting: speak notes from meetings into GPT and have it summarize your rambling 😎 then paste that whole thing into notes to review later!
