Hi, I'm Mike! 👋
You might know me as the chicken-avatar that runs @ludumdare.com. We've inspired many thousands of game creators the past 20+ years, so follow us for that. 😁
As for me, I've worked on dozens of games since the 90's (console, mobile, etc). I focus on "tech" these days. I'm owned by:

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

Hey, the newly announced Steam Frame runs SteamOS and a Snapdragon processor.
Low key, this *should* mean that the Steam store needs to run on and support Linux on ARM! 😱

I wish boycotting worked.
I really do think this is true.
Rockstar leadership deciding to fire 30+ union workers and the workers deciding to fight back is going to be something we look back on as a turning point for our unionization effort.

Tomorrow is 11.11, AKA "Singles Day", which is basically AliExpress Prime Day...though it's debatable if Prime Day prices are even deals.
I'm not eyeing much, but I've been waiting to grab parts for a hypothetical cyberdeck project. Primarily a low profile mechanical keyboard, and some adapters.

Academically, what is this? Would you call it absurdist comedy?
It makes me smile, but my wife doesn't care. My best guess is that I'm impressed by the performance, the perfect take on Lounge music, the fun of his alter's confusion mirroring ours, and a shifty Dirt Man.

Feeling the music itch, but first world problems. 😅
I've got a bunch of unique audio gear that I wish I could just "remote into" and start playing. The Roland SoundCanvas is probably the best known, but the Yamaha MU and the Korg with the "SotN soundfont" are pretty sweet too.
I also run Linux. 😖

Eep! This external drive no longer works. 😅
I think I cooked a few traces. I discovered there was some sort of epoxy in the backside of the USB connector (waterproofing?), and a couple traces don't seem to be there anymore. 😅
On the upside, I do know the guts are ok. 😅

$5 Marketplace pickup today! No thermos, sticker is a little faded. But I spent $5 buying pop so I could get $5 cash back at Walgreens to pay for it, so absolutely worth the price.
