    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. πŸ§‘πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ

    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.
