    I'll only beg you for RTs once very 3-7 years, and today's the day - on this one pls: x.com/BreachWizards/… I've been working on this for almost half my career, and it all rides on how today goes. It means the world to us if you can grab it today specifically. 🧡🧙‍♂️

    Adding helicopters near the start of game dev: "A Helicopter is a Vehicle." Adding helicopters late in game dev: "When you think about it, a Helicopter is just a very advanced type of Door."

    Shout out to this apartment building for having the very non-psychotic idea to hide the haunted faces of children on their gate grills, so you only glimpse them for a bone-chilling moment as you walk past.

    Should have known my dad wouldn't let a little thing like dying stop him from wishing me a happy birthday. (This is a prototype for a digital calendar he made for my gran, I took it as a memento of him.)

    I am now ready to tell you that the prototype I've been working on (x.com/Pentadact/stat… ) Is called: TACTICAL BREACH WIZARDS And @John_Arr has been doing some sketches for it! Here's the pitch: wizards.cool

    YouTube's auto-captioning misheard my tiny-XCOM prototype as 'Tiny Ex-Con', so that's the codename now.
