My son said he needed to do the opposite of pee. He meant poop. I said the opposite of pee would be sucking pee in. He asked through your mouth or penis. I said probably penis. He disagreed. Who is right? Also, I need to talk to people my own age.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

I braved the protests and riots in LA to go see a comedy show last night, just blocks from all the chaos. Honestly, if it weren't for a few helicopters in the air, you wouldn't know anything was even happening. This is all propaganda and bullshit. Don't fall for it.

Why is it every time you change doctors they are always so confused about why you're taking all your current medications? I always end up changing meds when I change doctors.

I am waiting in the waiting area for my car to be serviced and a dude is in here taking a Teams Meeting. I think he is talking about important rocket shit. It is taking my whole being to not just talk over him on my own pretend call with my doctor about my hemorrhoids.

New game idea I'm messing with. A Vampire Survivor type game where you're a robot who can have up to 16 arms for combat. I'm calling it Too Arms. I'd like to add different arm types and actual non-sphere enemies. #indiedev #gamedev

Hair tinsel is a huge hit with the middle aged moms at the children’s birthday party.

I have a God Complex by which I mean I don’t believe in myself.

Sometimes game dev is making huge amounts of progress on something and having absolutely nothing to show for it. I made a ton of progress on a journalism system for a game I'm working on, but I have nothing to show how cool it is right now. #solodev

All I know is how to cook steak and make chocolate chip cookies. Everything else is a mess.

At WonderCon way too early. My wife and son are in Disneyland. I don’t know what to do with myself.

Has anyone done the Gaming Creator Connection or Pitch Review at #WonderCon or #ComicCon? I am considering checking them out at Wonder-Con but I'm curious if anyone has an experience with them. #GameDev
