In 2018 almost everyone doubted that my game would ever be completed. 7 years later I released it. 6 months later I'm still putting <3 into it not bcuz it needs it, But bcuz I <3 it. Nothings changed. Next time, don't tell a crazy person what they can't do. Either join or go away. #gamedev #indiedev

I wish to have known Lynch more. Once a year or so ago he was livestreaming with Chrysta Bell, upon releasing Cellophane Memories. I feel fortunate modern technology let us occupy that space & time together. I aspire to his unfettered creativity & humanity. All the ❤️ @twinpeaksworldwide.bsky.social

Tired of not knowing when I click videos on Yt if they were crafted by humans or not. Will be mass banning blocking recommends etc from any suspected channels. I invite others to do the same! I'm for progress and cool new tech (including AI). And people using it in interesting ways. This is not it.
