They didn’t even let me keep my buggy whip, the little so-and-sos! That has other uses!

Oh, my great-grandchildren took that away ages ago

I know, right?

Also suddenly realizing that as of about ten days ago I have somehow been in the games business for 37 years? That does not seem even remotely possible.

Me too!

"the"

Uh oh

So, sometime this summer I picked up a more or less life-sized grinning white skull at a yard sale, which I stashed in the shed with the others until Halloween season. Today when I got it out I turned it over and discovered a sticker on bottom. It just says, “friendship”.

As we passed this building, @jesshaskins.bsky.social remarked, “I think a level designer lives here.”

Oh yes.

I think this one? If there were others with similar designs it could easily have been one of them though.

Update: today I saw someone I *did* know from Telltale, but he was not wearing a Telltale shirt so I did not recognize him.

Comedy is not a genre either and I wish more people would recognize that

I’m not sure I know the difference. It didn’t say “dev” on it anywhere, but neither does mine.

Just saw someone I didn’t recognize wearing a Telltale T-shirt. He didn’t seem to recognize me either, so I don’t feel bad.

The QotD is fun for me because sometimes a line like this will turn up and I won't remember where it's from. And then I look it up and it's some bit of completely optional goofiness that has nothing to do with completing the game, it's just in there to establish mood and character.
