one time I started a small fire inside the Williams Street microwave by being a complete idiot

hope you wanna read bloosks about my baby
me & the baby watching a vid on the ancient Maya

historian says Maya elites used to elongate their babies' skulls so they'd look more like corn & when he says this the baby locks eyes with me underneath his little plagiocephaly helmet like "I know you're fuckin thinkin about it"

I do love corn

I thought the baby would like these crunchy corn snack sticks 'cause he's always trying to eat our food

he won't even put em in his MOUTH

this kid puts EVERYTHING in his mouth!

he's got a plastic bucket he's been trying to eat for six months now

buddy wtf is wrong with these corn things?

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

I'm sorry I pinched you in the junkies

checked the mail & there was a package for "Chris Customer" from "fun.com" which is the most suspicious thing I've seen since they started selling that "Harmless Coconut Water"

every modern children's book is like "Hassle Moose, he's a moose who likes to hassle a park ranger" & you're like "well that's kinda cute" then you flip it over & it's got 20 bestselling spinoffs such as "Hassle Moose Buys Eighty Yachts" and "Hassle Moose Is A Bigger Deal Than Jesus"

people on the internet like "it's a high chair, does it really need a 5-point restraint? that seems excessive 🧐" & I'm all "must be interesting not having an ExXxTreme SportzZz Action Baby sponsored by Red Bull Infantifuel Nitro, if I don't web him up like Frodo Baggins he's on the ceiling fan"

just went to plug a lamp back in that I'd unplugged to plug in my laptop & caught myself thinking "this is a good deed, I'm a good steward of the earth"

@blueprincegame.bsky.social My 7 year old son and I attended or local video game convention in MN (2D Con) this weekend. We love playing Blue Prince together, so he cosplayed as Simon. Spent time at various doors around the con trying to draft rooms.

when you're new to making games, it's easy to think it's about making art and making the right decisions and having the best taste. but actually making games is about dancing really good when the old west bandit shoots bullets at your toes

parenting tip: if you say "haha he just loves to scratch his little fingienails on the mesh of his playpen!" it sounds so much nicer than "he's constantly clawing at the walls of his prison in a futile attempt to escape"

my partner the DM is still salty about the time we went down what he considered a side path, he described it as "making you feel vaguely uncomfortable," & we immediately made exploring it our new objective to the extreme that we were all chanting "UNCOMFORTABLE ROOM! UNCOMFORTABLE ROOM!"
