I've now been pushed off Tweetdeck and I can't function on Twitter without it so expect so see much less of me here. I am elsewhere, mainly the sky one (as is @brainwavez), and you can always check https://t.co/Jym6Z1zJ5x as well, although it's still a placeholder site.

Shoutout to all the Danish people celebrating Nøddespark this Christmas, and Merry Musktardmas to my friends in the UK. (I'm a little iffy on conín asal mór in Ireland but you do you!)

Command your crew to get the treasure (for you), heartless pirate captain!

(I might circle back to give the art a bit more love but otherwise it's done)

@wendyknowler One principle you were talking about is sunk-cost fallacy. You also mentioned social engineering but what you read didn't cover how sophisticated it can be when someone is hyper targetted. For insight on this (and where it's heading): https://t.co/NlfFgGk5Bn

@WaPoMax @Adgarpo1 @culturepulp Stop being lazy and look it up yourself.

[Mandy J Watson @mandyjwatson]

@Adgarpo1 @WaPoMax @culturepulp Pig-Pen wasn't dropped, although there was a block of time where he wasn't used. He was in the strip until September 1999. It is really NOT difficult for anyone to look all of this up, plus you don't need to reply to Maxwell and his constant inaccurate (nevermind racist) comments

@NotJamGames As an aside, that is really good microfoam.

[Mandy J Watson @mandyjwatson]

@KadenRamstack No, thank you! It makes the effort worth it to see someone create something like that from it. (I mean, I had fun making it just because but to see this happen with it out in the world is amazing and validating.)

[Mandy J Watson @mandyjwatson]

This playthrough of my game makes me SO happy. The link to it is in the thread.

I made a game for the BitsyFest jam. It's my first #Bitsy game.

It's a small adventure game about "repatriating" antiquities in museums. (Absolutely not based in reality, in other words.)

Play it here:

I printed my one-page RPG printable!

(And wrote a quick blog post about it.)

🎨Did we mention that we put a graffiti mini-game into Wrestling With Emotions?

🐶 Yes, you will be able to paint a dog with sunglasses.
