I'm a programmer, artist, game developer, and amateur naturalist! I have 2 young kids that are adorable but lots of work. Warning, there may be unspoilered bug pics.

I plan to contribute something positive to the discourse here and you can't stop me!

Forest Shuffle. 2-5 player tableau builder. Players can either draw two cards or play one card. Trees can hold a left card, a right card, a top card and a bottom card. Left cards come with right cards and top with bottom. Lots of nature/ecosystem-themed card interactions for point scoring.

Ironically, Twitter used to be a wonderful place to get emergency alerts and have emergency communication before Elon took over. Shutting down API access changed all that.

Made a new Giganotosaurus redesign. This one I tried to kept closer to the OG than some of my previous redesigns, I based it on the Chameleon anglehead lizard since I thought their spikes looked similar to the Giga.

So, aside from a mistake where we accidentally pushed a build from over a year ago (before I started fixing things, even!), ... we've had a pretty okay release!

Hi! I've been working on this initlally as designer and then as lead programmer after Lars stepped back.

For. 3 years. It's been a ride. Much longer than expected.
Oh wow, good things coming to those who wait - Defender's Quest 2 finally rolls out at the end of this month.

The original was a great little tower defense game, but the sequel has been trapped in development hell for yeaaaaars.

I got jealous of people who can draw anime boys. I'd end up with a lot more FFXIV fanart if I could. Most of my sketches from tonight's practice didn't make the cut but I ended up with this one. #ffxiv #estinien #nidhogg

This is truly heartwarming - and another confirmation that train travel is much more constructive as a means of transport for human society, compared to deadly destructive car culture.
This is so charming and lovely. Perfect Friday content and a good thing to share with those who may have been led, by cynical demagogues, to believe that multiculturalism has made London some sort of dystopian hell. ~AA

The morning #HurricaneHelene hit Asheville members of our co-op sat in the dark, listening to the howling wind and crack of trees falling. When we emerged to take stock a cardboard sign on our door read “Community meeting here, Saturday at 2. Let’s talk about how we can take care of each other.” 1/?

Cool things found in the yard today! The spider surprised me by falling on me but I managed to get him to stay still on my bamboo stick for a photo! #spiders #bugsky #nature #insects #bugs

This thread was a really good overview of the situation, thanks for that!
The images and stories just beginning to emerge from eastern TN and western NC in the aftermath of widespread catastrophic flooding wrought by #Helene are genuinely horrifying, and the full scale of the disaster is likely as yet untold. #TNwx #NCwx [Thread: 1/n]

Electrification is efficiency. When we electrify our energy systems coupled with clean electricity, something remarkable occurs: significant inefficiencies disappear.

In a decarbonized world, our energy demand will be much lower than it is today.
