You're in a doctor's waiting room and there's 1 or 2 seats left. Shortly after sitting down next to somebody, all the seats open up except for that person next to you.

Do you:

A) awkwardly stay put where you are
or
B) awkwardly move to another seat

Been slowly working my way through “Why Fathers Cry At Night” which contains poetry, prose, and recipes. Something about publishing this “unfinished” recipe really got to me.

For its 10th anniversary, Prune is making the leap from mobile to PC. How many of you remember this quiet, meditative experience from 2015? "A puzzle game about cultivating growth and the joy of letting go."

Oh, and while I'm here, happy 3rd birthday to Hindsight as well. You're beautiful in your own way. :)

Prune, my digital bonsai game about cultivating what matters, just turned 10!

In an age of endlessly fractured attention, I still believe it has something to offer--now more than ever. So to celebrate, I'm finally bringing it to PC.
