I gave a talk at the final XOXO conference.

At first, I thought I'd revisit my first talk from ten years ago. But it turned into something different. Something about life, and art, and… McDonalds?

19 minutes. Try to go in without spoilers and watch until the end. 🙏

Ten years ago today we shipped Firewatch. I say this every anniversary but it feels both like a lifetime ago and like it was yesterday. Thank you everyone who played it back then or played it today for the first time. Thank you to everyone on the team, I’m still so proud of what we made.

i heard you were looking for an illustration of Olive Oyl using her nintendo famicom, with the tv-net modem peripheral plugged into it, so she can use "daiwa my trade", and make trades on the japanese stock market, with the help of popeye.

well here you go

here's an app store app that is not only filled with emulators and roms, but gives you a regular apple pay sheet, instead of an in-app purchase, when you pay. 🫡

We just finished a big milestone in our game Devils On The Moon Pinball.

We finished all 5 bonus challenges you are going to be able to play apart from the main big table.

You can wish-list it now at:

portland gets a lot of teasing, fine i get it, but i actively love living in a city that offers both:

• cheap tattoos for hot, contemplative queer people who are funny in ways neurotypical don't understand
• bomberman tournament

we filled up our 10TB of panic dropbox storage, and realized we had 78TB free over on google drive.

but i like dropbox! i wanted to give them a chance at a saving throw — maybe we could stay on our tier and pay for extra space? — so i chatted their sales department.

Finally have to agree that Tubi is truly the streaming king. I just checked and yeah you're not watching Look Around You anywhere else online. You can't even BUY it! Tubi is a world heritage website.
I've been leaning towards Tubi being the streaming service, and now I think it's official: they have Season 1 and Season 2 of one of the best science and technology comedy shows ever made… "Look Around You".

Thanks, Tubi. Thubi.

Look Around You
This unique combination of parody and homage to early 70s/80s British educational programs examines different scientific topics in each episode.

there are a million of these memorable jokes in Look Around You
One of my favorite things. It's where we learned what maths stands for.
