It's little things, like finding a little Lego figure frozen in the ice tray, that makes me love being the dad of a 9-year old. ❤️

Daydreaming about a roguelike: Your character is a toaster-sized steampunk automaton who breaks into huge baroque difference engines and steals data on punch cards. The hook? You're tethered to a cable that must not be cut or crossed over itself.

The evolution of my new logo. I had so much fun working on this.

Our first Caves of Qud run ended with a bang--literally. Season 2 is already in the works, & this time? We're doing a Loot-Through, where our gadget-obsessed Tinker, Poindexter, tries to survive with wrist fans and gyre irons.

Sadly, I haven't had a chance to try it. I'm stuck on a Mac and I don't think it's supported, unfortunately.
Turns out trying to stop a mortar with your face is NOT a good idea. I'd say it was a noble death, but trying to be more honest these days...

This gem was my highway to the "Danger Zone!" And by "Danger Zone" I mean the "Lethally Crashing Into the Ground Every Single Time I Tried to Land Zone."

Funny, the Mid-Ohio Valley Commodore 64 Club, which was essentially a huge pirating racket, just looked like a bunch of graybeards and morbidly obese dudes sitting around in a community center notching floppy disks and trading copies of Leisure Suit Larry. Nothing like this "cool-looking dude."
Blob bosses: mandatory in every game? Starting to think so... Not a complaint, I'm part blob, myself--thanks, pizza!🍕🦠
StarVaders really is fun and you should probably try it.

Look, you don't watch me for "expert play" or even "baseline competency."
You come for the moments where I equip my sword in the wrong hand...

Wait, does this make me a winner or a loser? #conflicted

Preparing to fire up my 🥔 of a computer to record another adventure with Havlap in the Caves of Qud! History's mysteries await.
As someone who can't afford new equipment, I, my wallet and my 2015 Mac are all very grateful for indie games.

⛈️ A kickass little inde game for a stormy summer day! ⛈️
StarVaders is Slay the Spire + Space Invaders + Into the Breach. It really works! Super fun.
Just. One. More. Turn...

Just posted my first ever Caves of Qud tutorial! Don't give a damn about your bad reputation in the game? You probably should! How to win friends and influence mutants...

In my 8 year-old mind, this was the equivalent of being Indiana Jones. #retro #indiedadgamer #memories #atari #pitfall #1980s #80s #activision

Oh Qud, why must I love you so?

BTW, read this book. Or at least this story. It will punch your brain in the face. 🤜🧠

One of my faves. I hope they keep the tech retro...

Note to self: check your batteries BEFORE you shoot the big mutant goatman in the face.
Nearly a thousand hours in the game and THIS happens? QUUUDD!!!

You know, you just unlocked a memory for me! K-Mart definitely did have a good selection. I bought a really confusing game cartridge called One Man and His Droid. Had a ridiculously awesome soundtrack, though.

Yesss! I didn't own the cassette drive, but I did belong to a C64 enthusiast club (looking back, it was just a glorified software pirating club) where I definitely loaded software from one. I bought a floppy disk notcher there! One of these thingies so you could double your capacity 😂
That's a great hack! I love tips like that. When I worked in radio, we used to record long audio broadcasts to VHS because it was a dependable stereo option that could be archived easier than reels and didn't fail as miserably as cassettes and early DAT recorders.
