"Make sure you get your tickets before they sell out."

Shout-out to the parents who will have to field "can I go to Saudi Arabia" questions. Why is he acting like this is a traveling experience going state-to-state in Walmart parking lots?
MrBeast's temporary "theme park" in Saudi Arabia opens tomorrow.

Here's the promo video he just posted to Twitter.

1) I am very excited for the #SteamFrame. Having a new standalone #VR headset that is a solid alternative to Meta will be great. store.steampowered.com/sale/steamfr...

2) It's very deceptive to show this when passthrough is monochrome only 🫤

No. Please.

“employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 ft of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within 4 ft, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help.”

On one hand, laser cutting wood had led to a wealth of fun and unique models and puzzles.

On the other hand I wish all these cool things didn't look like they were assembled out of a burnt Scouts project.

What’s everyone’s bet on how long it takes before a Disney influencer puts this number in their bio?
Disneyland has added "Park Visits" under your barcode, and this must be based on account or pass # or something - because I haven't used this pass every other day this year.

Feels like maybe a renewal tactic or something?

"Look how many visits you've done, you are getting your value out of this."

Has @panic.com explored a 'Christmas with the Cranks' promotion for @play.date? I'll just leave this free idea right over here.

Light Up the Town looks great! I've often wondered why there isn't a small collection of short Christmas games that are yearly replays in the same way people revisit their favorite Christmas movies.

Seeing a lot of LinkedIn posts claiming that Affinity being free forever means there’s no incentive to innovate.

Have they been using Illustrator for the past two decades? Do we think Adobe was some sort of innovation powerhouse?

I think this looks neat. The games look fun and I like the varied styles. The inclusion of different physical pieces is neat too.

But, I've also seen several of these products come out. They're usually always expensive and then flop leaving no further support. 🤷

Discord should support smallish sites for projects. I'm tired of finding an awesome project but their only web presence is a Discord, meaning I then have to register for it and dig through community chats for any sort of update.

This is a game that I wish would get a reboot. The builders were so fun and organic! It just needed more of an actual game.

I'd throw money at @realgdt.bsky.social to direct The Midnight Carols, based on an #audiodrama #podcast. Dark yet also strangely hopeful. Feels like it could be a Christmassy Cabinet of Curiosities.
If I owned a movie studio I'd throw all the monies at @realgdt.bsky.social to make a series of Oz films based on the original books in the style/tone of those books.
