I would say, “hey, I was thinking to do the same thing”

Anonymous asked: how do i better myself? specifically, how do i get rid of anger? i try but i feel like some people aren’t worth forgiving, no matter how petty it sounds. i just can’t get rid of the anger towards a specific thing until i find something to be angrier about and the past thing becomes obscure… i’m not sure how to stop being angry at the current thing though. sorry for rambling,, i guess my question is how do i become less angry? it drives me and i think its doing bad on my mental health

I think when you’re less attached to the results of something you’re less likely to become angry when it doesn’t go your way. Sometimes something that seems bad is really fortunate.

Anonymous asked: hey john i love the art you make and im really going to miss you online - good luck to you and your family. any final words for the public? also what’s the best thing i can do as a high school teenager right now at this very moment?

This may seem hard to understand but If a stranger ever writes you a suicide letter don’t reply.

The best you thing can do right now is tell someone in your family that you love them.

When you dream your body produces DMT—the most potent hallucinogen known of. So if you’ve ever dreamt you’ve already sampled the best of drugs. Having had the best do you have any reason to look further?

pinkuboa asked: What is your favorite area of each game?  What part of game making is the hardest for you?

I think perhaps the Love Bus from Middens and the Drollery World from Gingiva. Creating Environments was the most challenging.
