Owner of Terrible Toybox, the designer/creator of Monkey Island, The Cave, Pajama Sam and the designer/co-creator of Maniac Mansion, DeathSpank and Thimbleweed Park. Co-designer of Return to Monkey Island. All ideas are my own, but you'd be crazy not to agree.
The more I think about it, "Nitro!" sound like something 40 year olds came up with because they thought 16 year old boys would think its cool.
Question for Mastodon: I have a bunch of CP/M 5.25 floppy disks that I want to "liberate" a bunch of Z80 code I did as a kid (the world needs to see my Space Invaders clone). Any ideas of a simple/easy to get read them? My CP/M machine is long gone. Tracking down old CP/M machines is outside the scope of easy.
Just added mushrooms that shoot spores at the player. Next step is to write a psychedelic shroom shader.
Well, 58% of people want me to wallow in despair. 24% want me to finish Skeleton Key. I'm going to Whidbey Island this weekend and I'll take the book along and give it a final try.
I'm 152 page into Skelton Key and it's not grabbing me, nothing has happened. I know a lot of readers love this book, so what am I missing? I can't quit a book so I'll finish it but I might put it aside for King's "Fairy Tale" image

OK, time to give Baldur's Gate 3 a try. I'm always 3 steps behind the big hot thing. When I was a kid I waited 3 or 4 months before seeing Star Wars.
I'm going to spend the next few weeks focusing on story. It's too easy for me to just program some new feature because of the new feature dopamine rush. I also need to find a tilemap artist that can also be an art director. I want the story and theme to come together with the art, rather than the art being something I drop in later. Finding a talented tlemap artist is proving much harder than I thought. If I was doing a risk register for the project, this would be item 1. #gamedev #indiedev image
Our Flag Means Death is incredible. Can't wait for the 2nd season. It's as close as I want to get to a Monkey Island TV show. #OurFlagMeansDeath
Thanks to everyone that came to the RtMI panel. They really need to block 2 hours just for question. Good questions fun to answer.
Who was the first person to experience jet lag? I assume it wouldn’t have been possible before fast air travel.
"America's richest 10% are responsible for 40% of its planet-heating pollution, new report finds" Of course they are...
