No, but for real, @deepdishswift.com is amazing. Highly recommended as a conference, as a way to meet cool folks AND as a way to enjoy Chicago and our many pizzas (but especially deep dish).

There's no one way to give a conference talk, but is there a way to do two ways in the same talk? Join the incredible duo @joshdholtz.com Zach Brass in Paris!

My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

🎣 Annnndd… work has picked back up again on @fishingwithkenny.bsky.social!

I had zero internet on the train and none of my art/asset tools so… I cleaned up some code but also added a dialog system!

Currently you can only talk to the pigeon statue (aka Gary) but it’ll work for other NPCs
