Can’t wait to play!
TR-49 is our best launch, ever, in 14 years.
I admit I'm surprised! Made in 9 months, mostly as an experiment to learn Godot, and an excuse to play with some actors. (And for me to do some acting.)
One thing I think IS cool: it's a "one-sitting" game. 4 hours; $7. No commitment required.

For most of my time at Nonchalance, I would try to describe my job… and halfway through the person would say “So, like that Michael Douglas movie?”
Getting flashbacks to when I did Jejune Institute, from his visit to CRS HQ. Less focus on subterfuge, but similar vibes nonetheless.

I know some marking geniuses will say ‘Flix Brothers’ is the obvious choice…
But I say, be bold and capitalize on the HBO cache with ‘Flixbo’

If you want to understand my brain:
Ten hours ago, I saw a sign on a storefront that was crooked. Not intentionally crooked, just a smidge crooked. Not a temporary sign — a full, dimensional, mounted to the side of a building sign.
It’s 11:30pm. I’m laying in bed thinking about the crooked sign.

It says a lot about Southern California home prices when a listing for a literal castle costs the same as a family home in a nice (but not even super fancy) neighborhood.

There’s obviously a lot to unpack here … from undisclosed private donors… to the lack of approvals and review…
But what no one seems to be focusing on:
“Trump said the project had grown in size and now will accommodate 999 people.”
Is this all a misguided attempt to make the Haunted Mansion?!?
