What the heck is this new Outlook icon? Looks like AI junk in my Windows 11 taskbar

And the third world, icy plains juxtapositioned directly next to the volcano of course

Here's a preview of the second world, where fragile envelopes are scattered across a fiery volcano lol #gamedev

Been working on a game in PICO-8 for a jam where you deliver letters found across the map with limited steps. I've got 16 rooms laid out and just over half finished with increasingly complex stuff going on, it's been REALLY fun to work on! #gamedev

Apparently Walgreens thinks October 20th is a Sunday? As a dev I'm honestly baffled how this happened. I've checked my calendar four times to confirm it is actually Monday.

Won a game of Cosmic Encounter with the Tick-Tock alien species by causing the heat death of the universe in 11 turns which felt very broken but fun!

Also shout out to me for making it really easy to figure out what my 2013 GOTY was no questions asked.

Shout out to @carolynmichelle.bsky.social for recommending the game so long ago, you rock!

Erik on Jeopardy today sure looks a lot like Garrett from Community.

*Looks up the actors name*

Okay it is literally him! Go Erik Nielsen!

Coincidentally I wrote about the 1992 video game Recca the other night while watching the 1992 movie This is My Life starring Julie Kavner, Samantha Mathis, Gaby Hoffman, and Carrie Fisher. It was quite good too!

I think the parallels between the two are limited to their year of release though.

I published my Game of the Year picks for 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2015 on my site, now I'm thinking about going in to fill in the blanks.

Can you guess what game I'm considering for 2013?

Now with Teams meetings being recorded and annotated, everyone will know exactly who was accidentally unmuted and sniffed loud enough to interrupt the speaker into pausing and creating an awkward silence for a few seconds

Street date must have been broken because I just got my copy of Cry Out Loud! Can't wait to read it!
