The Sand Worm now grabs zombies and throws them in the air before eating them. Not a great gif I know, but twitter is still playing up so like 8 of you will actually see this. #madewithunity #gamedev

Everyone at home kept watching Netflix using my profile. Messed up all my lists and history... so I renamed “Dad” to “Install Windows Updates Now.” Problem solved.
