I'll never grow tired of a floating island city in an RPG.

I just completed This is How You Lose the Time War. It’s poetry. It’s bittersweet. It’s like nothing before it. Read it.

Anything is possible with time, energy, and money. The conversion process isn’t as straight forward as people think, as I’d want to do a larger format if I did a hardcover, and that’s a ton of work. Plus, I’m looking forward and focusing on this new series, with a lot of new ideas beyond that.

Thank you 💌 It’s highly unlikely that the NES book will receive a hardcover edition, unfortunately.

I soloed this one but only because I tried for so long to get people summoned and couldn’t.

My preference is to go to a real chocolate shop where they cost more money but I just eat a few pieces a year.

Watching Fallout & the forced commercials are ruining the XP. It’s a backwards step in TV viewing & reminds me that — even as we pay more and more for a service — we are seeing commercials find their way back in. Plus, every time I resume an ep it reverts back to the start, forcing more commercials.

There’s something truly special about the puzzles and mechanics of Animal Well. Every time I solve a challenge or discover a new way to approach a puzzle I feel so damn satisfied.
