@fahrni No I typically don’t. I went on a coffee bender a few years back and overdid it. My stomach was not happy about it and so I swore it off. Gonna try having a cup or two every now and then again but in moderation to try and keep my gastrointestinal tract from packing up and leaving. 😅

Really happy to see the Ollie's Arcade Kickstarter secured a stretch goal overnight!

Thanks to all of you who have backed the project and spread the word and put up with us posting about it constantly.

Had a cup of coffee with breakfast. Have not done that in years. ☕️

We briefly passed the $35k stretch goal for Ollie’s Arcade earlier tonight but some people must have cancelled or adjusted their pledges and now we’re back under by a couple hundred bucks. :-/

Hopefully will pass it for real sometime tomorrow.

@bigzaphod Hah! I was taking a screenshot to say "Just $40 away from reaching the next goal and then...bam! Congrats!

Ollie's Arcade Kickstarter reached $35,009, and met their next reach goal.

A blue-green world somewhere under the water. Something vast and old is shifting up from the depths. Only its head is visible: round like a fish's, with one dead black eye and a large mouth full of pointed teeth. The creature is dark blue, with slightly wrinkled skin, and covered in illegible graffiti tags. Floating above it, still deep underwater, is a person wearing a suit and tie. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

@leebennett The entire kickstarter is a rounding error to Silicon Valley types. It’s so frustrating we have to scrape and scrounge for this kind of stuff, I swear. No worries.

One of the most common things people told us after we successfully launched the Tapestry Kickstarter was “I regret not backing high enough to get TestFlight beta builds.”

If you’ve backed the Ollie’s Expansion KS you might want to consider backing at the Expert level if you want to play/beta test Frenzic & the stretch games. Time is short, no regrets. Just sayin’!🤓

@raineer Now is not the time to dwell on it honestly. Have to do what we can to keep them from claiming permanent power forever.

There's no logical way SCOTUS could allow Texas to use their gerrymandered maps and NOT allow California to do the same so this decision today was mostly ordained. The same probably cannot be said for other state's attempts at rigging maps... the election is getting closer every day.

Our Kickstarter only has a few days to go and it's stalled right near the stretch goal!

Maybe it'll magically get a bunch of backers while at the dentist? Would be nice to come back to a funded stretch goal. Just sayin. 🙂

I held, and still hold, the unpopular opinion that one-click retweets were what started Twitter down the hill to irrelevant cacophony. You follow people on a microblogging platform because you want to know what *they* have to say, not what other random people have to say. As a result, I turn off reposts completely, so I only see messages from the people I follow.

@annaecook it’s been this way since he re-took office and I honestly don’t know how much longer I can stand it. Absolutely unrelenting.

Today I read a headline about ICE tear-gassing children.

Then, almost instantly, I got a work ping that needed attention.

That’s the pattern: witnessing something so destabilizing it shakes my faith in humanity then being asked to continue on as if nothing happened.

Without pause. Indefinitely.

A Star Trek Voyager meme in five panels.

Panel 1: Captain Janeway leans in to speak with Chakotay saying I heard you have tattoos all over your shoulders and back.

Panel 2: Chakotay replies Yes, Captain. And sometimes when people are sad, I let them color them in.

Panel 3: Janeway says Why would you do that?

Panel 4: Chakotay replies dryly: Sometimes people need a shoulder to crayon. 

Panel 5: Janeway looks away as if she could eject him out an airlock.

A tall castle turret stands against a green sky. The turret is mostly blue, with one side illuminated gold by the sun. On the right side of the turret is an arched window. Extending out from beneath the window is a long rod, like a perch on a bird feeder. Sitting on the roof is a large bird, species indeterminate. The bird is mostly dark, with a yellowish-green sheen from the sunlight. The sun, round and yellow, sits in the top right of the sky. The bird is looking up at it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
