    Shoelace has a teddy bear? Adorable! (And do your socks smell like popcorn???)

    Wow, there's even side-plot with Shoelace.

    Looking forward to the big 100.

    It looks more like the castle-designing screen of Castles, to me. Very "old school" of him, if so.

    :( I wished my socks smelled like popcorn. Instead they just smell like socks.

    Maybe its Baulder's Gate... but that was a rogue like. It certainly looks like a dungeon crawler.

    Shoelace is so cute.

    Why do you ponder so hard Li? Of course it smells like popcorn.

    @Izzy, @seventoes: I wondered about DF, but the screen isn't busy enough. Maybe some kind of Pipemania clone?

    @Moonshadow: It could be a newly dug out section, but the more I look at the menu looking thing off to the right, the more I think it might not be DF. The closest menu I can find is the stockpiles menu(p), but that has more stuff in it...

    It's not Nethack or any derivative of it(Sporkhack's the only one I can think of at the moment, but I know there's others...). They use the whole screen or the top line for their menus...

    As for any other games, I can't think of anything...

    I would have guessed nethack as well. Congrats on 99 and still being awesome!

    On the American tv show Parks & Recreation the other night, there was a pet DOG named Shoelace. What a weird coincidence. Personally, I think one of the writers must be a fan of yours and co-opted the name.

    I'm sure your socks are fine/popcorn-scented.

    And I thought I was the only one thinking his socks smelled like popcorn… o_O
    So, does that mean that I'm not insane or that I found another insane individual?

    Maybe you stepped on popcorn? It might happen. Popcorn is very tricky like that.
