I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

THUNK NOTICE DAT SOMETIMES, BEING ENTHUSIASTIC GET CALLED “CRINGE”. BUT BEING MEAN GET REWARDED WITH LAUGHS AND LIKES!

DIS BACKWARDS! WHY MAKE FUN OF PEEPLES WHO CARE BOUT THINGS? WHY REWARD PEEPLES WHO TEAR THINGS DOWN?

THUNK SAY—CARE BOUT THINGS LOUDLY! WURLD NEED MORE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THINGS!

“Looking to hire an artist of color” okay but are you gonna pay them well? Are they gonna be the only one on the team? Are you gonna listen and advocate for them when they express concerns? Like, what are you offering a person of color when you want to hire one?

A good day to listen to the rain and cry in bed cause you miss your dog so so so very much.

Just a reminder that the fight isn’t just where the media points you to. It is right where you live.

And if you feel it isn’t, I encourage you to look around and pay attention.

Braised Daikon with Shiitake Mushrooms This braised daikon recipe with shiitake mushrooms is a flavorful, healthy, and balanced side dish for any Asian meal. It's also easy!

Roast and/braise them! Daikon is incredible when braised thewoksoflife.com/braised-daik...

I olive oil and pan roast the little red ones add a little salt and pepper and whatever else’s you fancy. They turn delicate and mellow.

The year is 2543. It is february 2nd and thus we have just sent the traditional groundhog into a distant alternate timeline where it will remain for 36 seconds. Upon its return, we will shave it and check its fur's chemical composition to determine who next ascends into the Moon Temple.

once in a while I’ll see or hear about something like the linked blog and I realize if nothing else I do not have the mental fortitude to be a writer in games, where everyone thinks they could do your job despite not understanding it at all. The sheer frustration. sprints for fucking writers lol

An image lazily screen-grabbed from doublefine.com that shows several pots possessed by pugilistic spirits about to fight under the text, "Kiln" and "Sign-up for the Beta!" Why "sign-up" is hyphenated  probably has something to do with all the Brits we have on the web team, but I don't want to ask.

Can't wait to smash some pots? I mean, create beautiful works of art? Then sign up for Kiln's beta program and get ready to throw down!

A studded dog collar with tags, a dog toy in the shape of a pickle and carved box filled with ashes that says Pantalaimom sit on a carved wooden bookshelf.

A large piece of defined and a bust of Michael sit behind the items.

My boy came home. Now he can watch over the whole house like he always did.
