I love Stardew Valley with all my being.

It's got major throwback vibes to the original Animal Crossing, which I played obsessively in college.

It's also one of the few games with 8/16-bit-style graphics that I don't find completely intolerable.

Annnnd I love it even more. I knew it was an indie game, but didn't realize it was a solo-developer silently chugging away on it for 5 years.

"...he never once reached out online by asking questions or speaking to another developer for advice." 😳

I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THIS PIXEL ART!!!!!

It's criminally good and it's also now the only thing on the planet I want to know how to do.

1/ Why wife runs a community kitchen program at a local school here and texted this to me yesterday.
2/ Puker 1: Dared to chug 3 bottles of water followed by bottle of gatorade. Quickly this does not sit well & he almost instantly projectile vomits directly across the table on the kid across from him.

Puker 2: I mean, he just got vomited on. Of course HE then starts vomiting.
3/ Puker 3: A girl two tables down witnesses the carnage and begins projectile vomiting as well...poor weak stomach.

What'd they have for lunch? Chicken Pot Pie.

One of my daughters, who witnessed it: "The puke looked like vegetable soup." 😂

Some construction workers in our neighborhood have been following my teenage daughters around in their creepy cargo van and verbally harassing them (saying some scary and sexually explicit things).
We've called the police and reported it, however there's not a ton they can do for "harassment" reports other than pulling them over and telling them to stop. And even then it has to basically be right after the incident.

HOWEVER...
Me being an Internet Professional™...I tracked this piece of shit down and now know his name, phone number and his business name plus I have photos of him (thanks Facebook!).

The question: do I plaster that stuff all over the internet? Or just wait and hope it dies down?

You think selling to small businesses and consumers is difficult? Try getting VCs to pay for things.

Getting Intros (baremetrics.com/intros-investo…) off the ground has been...educational.
Me: "Here's a curated list of startups looking for investment w/ all current & historical revenue data, growth rates, customers, industries & more. This will save you weeks of due diligence every month & save you hundreds of false starts."

VC: "Wait, I have to pay for this?"
We certainly have some adjusting to do on the product to balance the needs of both companies and VCs. But I've been really surprised at how many have straight up said "Yeah, we don't pay for things."

I received a very beautiful message this #Diwali and found it #TooGoodNotToShare ..
Most know that Diwali is a #FestivalofLights

#TheFiveLamps ..

While we all light our houses, do spend some time today to light a few lamps inside you and sit in silence with your eyes closed.
#Light the first lamp inside u and let it burn your #anger and or #jealousy that u may have for any one till date; see it melt away...

Light the second lamp and let it burn away unwanted #greed and desires... feel #happy and contented with what you have been blessed with.
#Light the third lamp and let it fade away all #insecurities that you may have in your mind related to anything or financials; just believe that #God has given u life and he will surely give you enough to survive.#

#throwback to when Obama’s campaign was fined $375k by the FEC for violating finance laws. There are 2 rules of law in this country. One for hypocrite, establishment Dems and one for everyone else. Clean out this corruption, tear it all down. #Vote

Jeez. I left out HRC's laundering of $84 MILLION in DNC donations to illegally finance her campaign.

(THREAD) As far as I know, I'm the only person to point out that—5 days before the election—Don Jr. tweeted a link to illegal NYPD and FBI leaks about the Clinton probe, then deleted them. It suggests consciousness of guilt—and I think I know why. I hope you'll read on and share.
2/ First, understand that *the* key issue in the investigation of Trump Jr. is his willingness—pre-election—to accumulate and distribute illegally gained intelligence about the Clinton investigation. Understand, too, that Trump Jr. does not have a reputation for deleting tweets.
3/ That Trump Jr. tweeted a link to illegal NYPD and FBI leaks before the election—leaks the Inspector General has averred went to the Trump campaign—is certain. It's equally certain that he deleted one tweet in particular that could be critical to the Mueller investigation now.

When shows I watch get cancelled, I always wish I'd have done more to praise them. So this'll be an ongoing thread of shows I like, cancelled and renewed.
I basically stumbled onto #Rise and it had me in my feelings every week. Such a good story and really talented young cast. I had a feeling it wouldn't be renewed, so I was apprehensive about investing. But it was a worthwhile to do so.
#Sirens is one of my favorite shows this season. I went into it expecting a kind of teenage melodrama (like Twilight with mermaids) but it's actually mature and smart. It's a far more engaging story than I expected and I actively anticipate new episodes every week.
