Personal account, nothing I say here represents my employer.

Studio Design Director at Another Axiom (Gorilla Tag, Orion Drift)

Dev: Lone Echo 1&2, Echo VR, What Remains of Edith Finch, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider, more. Dad. Weirdo. Cosplayer.
Gen Xers: I woke up today with the 1984 version of the commercial jingle for Toys R Us stuck in my head. (“They’ve got the best for so much less, you’ll really flip your lid.”) And apparently I remember all the words. Now ya’ll are probably singing it in your heads. You’re welcome. (“Gee whiz!”)

Oh but it can’t be science or anything. Also, the number of pirates in the world has continued to decline since 1963. Correlation or causation?

We launched an update to #OrionDrift today. The team did a really wonderful job. I drifted in to play with random community members today and got some excited feedback. The build has a bunch of great new stuff, especially the new "capture the beacon" mode.

I really like going to bed in a made bed.

So as an adult, I enjoy making the bed in the morning because morning-me anticipates how nice it will be when bedtime-me tucks in.

Bedtime-me doesn’t need perfect, just made.

This thinking-ahead thing seems core to being an adult.

Or government.

Conchs and cocks == Key West

(ok yes, technically those are whelks, but it wouldn’t have been as iconic and besides, if I hadn’t told you, would you have known? I’ll try for a better photo next time, but the cock was not cooperating)

I’m having a mild conniption that the Experimental Games Showcase #GDC description says “now back for its 23rd year.”

I went to the first one and almost every one for the last 23 YEARS??!! There will probably be PRESENTERS at it that are younger than 23. Geez I’m old.

You know, it has been bothering me for years that people were such fans of fascists like mass murderer Darth Vader and characters actually called Stormtroopers. I should have suspected something was up.

I want to follow more people in my industry who talk about work and the art form of making games. Anyone got a good XR game developer starter pack?

I’m going to keep trying to switch to this platform as the main way I connect with distant friends, classmates, former co-workers, and fans of @gorillatag.bsky.social and @oriondrift.bsky.social and other games I’ve worked on. Habits are hard to change.

Meanwhile, here’s a photo of my cats.

Did I bring my outfit? 🤔

What sort of content should I post here? Should it be all #GorillaTag business? Game updates, photos of merch?

You want a #mermaidSurfReport like on IG?

Should I fly my freak flag and post my #LarryCroft #TombRaider cosplay?

How do I use this platform? I mean, should I even bother to post?

Opened Bluesky for the first time in months specifically to share this FB ad I got with @gailsimone.bsky.social who is the only other person I know who might love it. I never got around to posting our 70s juice glasses and mugs, but we got ‘em in this house.
