about a decade ago, i got stuck living in a czech motel. the shower had a hole in the wall (into another room) and the shared toilet (??) was down the hall. the 80 yr old owner hand delivered juice every morning wearing only dirty underwear. great inspo, 0/10 experience.

big(ish) news - releasing a small game in March called "flathead" its part of silkbulb - but the scope of the silkbulb test is...big. so i took a break for a few weeks to work on a smaller project. a game of death and dice.

before developing games, i was obsessed with developing film and taking photos. one summer i went to this place turtle pond. its a funny little place ripped from reality. i would bike over with my camera and take photos of whoever showed up. i miss it sometimes.

yes i asked him to stop with the juice. and yes he kept right on doing it. his son didnt speak any english but insisted on making me dinner. he would come in, throw a plate down (hotdogs), sit across from me, and not say a word. they got upset when i tried to opt out of hotdogs

i would text them on my burner vodaphone that i would be unable to make dinner and he would just text me back, "you are a bad boy time" (pronounced teem-ay.) in hindsight, i probably should have moved.

the flathead leaderboard competition is popping off to a degree I could never have foreseen and if I don’t get more crabs, my reputation in this town is RUINED.
Also
@markiplier
played flathead yesterday. if he made the leaderboard, he gets a crab too.

hot take of the week: longlegs is an extremely mediocre & vapid b-horror movie disguised as a thought-provoking arthouse horror because of, admittedly, great cinematography, art direction, and marketing.
i got got by their marketing department baaaad. ill give em that.

It goes even deeper than that tho. Woke studios are also using pre-built processors from silicon they didn’t even refine themselves. B/c I don’t do woke, I’m making it all myself. But a cut got infected while trying to mine iron and my custom antibiotics aren’t working so great

Whoever has the top score on the FLATHEAD leaderboards for Push Your Luck mode by the end of the week will get mailed a choice select from my CrabBox. Which is exactly what it sounds like. You do not get to choose because IAVPTSOTC ( I Am Very Partial To Some Of The Crabs )

What’s some horror game hot takes?
Mine is I think pyramid head works beautifully for a low poly ps2 game because your mind fills in the best details. But when you make him a muscled up, super detailed beefcake, I just see a guy with an awkwardly large hat on his head.

ha I realized I don’t have many photos of myself. This is 6 years ago. I had one last frame on the roll before developing. I remember it was so hot in that bathroom, the gloves would fill with sweat and id have to empty em every few minutes. I kinda miss it tho.

for me, i think the best high stakes game of slug racing for a windfall of cash is slugs&money - but i heard cash4snails is solid
i dunno tho, i feel like the shells just add too much pageantry. anyone else?
(from future racer 2000 - which just so happens to be on sale)

If I ever die in some freak (although probably super cool) accident - I want it on the record that anyone who even just barely knew me should use my death as an excuse to get out of doing something.

I love that the iPhone makes the camera sound when you screenshot something.
Really gets the adrenaline going when you’re in a crowded bathroom and you see a funny meme and everyone thinks you’re just having a fun photoshoot.

I love horror games community - this so so cool.
The choices you make, the calibrations you fail, or the amount of times you look in a certain spot, all seem to affect the outcome in some shape or form.
I really enjoyed this demo. It's being developed by
@tim_oxton

Ok real talk - that freaky part was admittedly spooky as hell but between the “water you doing step bro” brother, the bizarre threesome, and all the other unnecessary and long winded details - I feel like they shoulda just made it a short film and called it a day.
