If you don't live in Seattle this will make little sense, if you haven't lived in Seattle for twenty years it will make no sense.

All ideas are my own, but you'd be crazy not to agree.
Development of Death by Scrolling has been put on hold during the Seattle Mariners game today.
If you work for a company owned by an evil and horrible company, you work for an evil and horrible company. Stop deluding yourself.
I have to updates my Mac's OS. This always terrifies me. Several years ago an OSX updated bricked my machine. This close to Death By Scrollings release this would not be a good thing. Yes, I've backed up, etc, etc. Don't be a reply guy unless you have a secret way the upgrade will work 100% of the time.
Leisure Suit Larry solved the age verification problem years ago, the UK should just use that.
If you look around the room and you don't know who the DM is, you're the DM.
Guybrush is mad his hands broke off during the move to NZ.

I watched a YouTube video of someone using Vibe coding to make a game with AI. 45 mins in and it was running but spewing out error after error. The presenter finally went in an fixed the errors by hand requiring a lot of time and knowledge. I watched the whole thing like someone staring at a traffic accident.
American Oligarchs could be brought to their knees if everyone: a) Stopping using Facebook b) Stopped using X c) Stopped shopping on Amazon. d) Stopped using Google. Yeah, I'm not holding by breath.
Why is the Blue Prince available on Xbox and PS but not Switch? It's not like Switch is hard (or even underpowered) so I'm curious what the decision process was? Is it related to being on Game Pass and Plus? Normally these platform don't require exclusivity and when they do it's usually with each other.
I got a new attorney for my company dealings in NZ, he asked what the game was I was working on so I sent him a Steam key. He then played all weekend and sent me a list of bugs and feedback. I assume I wasn't billed $300 an hour for this.
There is now a rich capitalists compound protected by moot in Death by Scrolling. They have a ranged weapon call "greed" that takes gold from you. If you manage to kill them they drop 1000 gold bags.

Is ransom money tax deductible? Asking for a friend.
Modern gamers don't know the pleasure of pouring over every word of a manual before starting a game. I'm thinking of adding a RTFM main menu option in Death by Scrolling. Maybe a quiz at the end to see if you actually read the manual.
I spent the last couple of days getting Steam leaderboards working. It took me a bit to figure out Steam's API and my code is a mess, but now that it's working I'll clean up my code. HAHAHHAHAHHA.
True story: When Twin Peaks first aired, the MI team would come to my apartment and we watched the episode.
I'm surprise by the number of players who don't know the word "crit". I figured that was common knowledge, but I guess not. I've played too much D&D and WoW.
I'm fully behind a peasant revote. We live in a world where if you're not a billionaire, you're a peasant.
I'm really enjoying Wellington but one thing it lacks is the same coffee culture that Seattle has. I'm struggling to find good coffee beans.
She's waiting for him to die. Reminds me of the scene in Breaking Bad.
