if you were intrigued by the Dyebreaker soundtrack/VOLLEYGON bundles but felt locked out by their luxury pricing, i have good news: as we enter the Steam Autumn Sale these bundles are full dollars cheaper store.steampowered.com/app/3004260/...

super loved this piece from @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social, particularly the parts about understanding film on its own terms. this part in particular reminded me of a Hitchcock quote that changed how i thought about movies

can't be overstated. being remote is tough for a lot of reasons, but it is an absolute godsend for parenting. i'll probably commute again someday, but at the very least i can't imagine how it would be to not have the flexibility to WFH when I really need to. you just can't fit it all in otherwise

i know the "more like this" recommendations on Steam vary wildly but i will still accept the W of having Dyebreaker compared to Mina and UFO 50

hey if you're in Austin come play my arcade game next Friday, July 10th, for the release anniversary don't worry if you've never played, seems like every tournament we have at least one finalist who had never played the game before. we'll have some fun prizes too. come through and bring a friend 🤝

closing the loop of serendipity, good buddy @tigerthelion.bsky.social happened to be in Toronto right after the cabinet was finished and i got a first hand report. incredibly fun to see a friend playing this real-ass cabinet for a fan game i made a full decade ago. surreal

it was pretty fun(ny) to dive back in to some of the first game code i ever wrote. i sure have learned a lot lol i also got to revisit the game's pixel art and make this marquee art for the cabinet. it was fun to redraw this motorcycle fella at x2 size

Dan built a spinner controller and i worked on adapting the game's controls/UI to work with the spinner cursor input (i found the game actually plays better w the mouse!) Dan hooked up a fan to blow in your face as you accelerate. he even composed music for the game, which it was sorely lacking

a couple months ago I got an email from one Dan Beeson in Toronto, saying he wanted to make an 8-Bit Emperor cab. i was delighted at the idea of a little bootleg cabinet in someone's garage little did I know the guy was extremely for real. he told me he'd be converting this Gunsmoke cabinet

so flattered and inspired by this: i helped someone make their own arcade cabinet for very first game, 8-Bit Emperor‼️ 8-Bit Emperor is a PICO-8 "de-make" of Black Emperor by Tomás Vicuña and BumbleBear Games. this guy has a Black Emperor cabinet and wanted 8-Bit Emperor too. it looks so good!

i have worked on this in my adult life, but as a person i am incredibly susceptible to What If They're Mad At Me Syndrome today, unbelievably, two separate people i somehow believed to be Mad At Me sent me random, nice messages, within *minutes* of each other the freedom i feel

4-year-old update: - she has a little stuffed Grogu but she keeps forgetting his name and calling him Frederick - reckoning with finding some dead bugs, she pretended to throw her stuffies in the "deader" ("it makes them dead") - this weekend she flipped the script and put MY art up on the fridge 🥲
