So about time I start posting about my projects, right? I wrote the soundtrack for this game (and did most of the initial work on it) back in 2019. I wrote the music on FamiTracker, so if it sounds kind of like a NES that would be why! Actually really enjoyed making music that way.

Just found one of my spanners buried in a plant pot. I have a 4-year-old. This tracks.

Had a packet with a label that said “Tear here”. Only, the tag wasn’t even present—not broken, just never made; like a rigged contest, an inherent unfairness in the universe—leaving me with the existential nag that maybe God is real & fucking with me for calling him a fictional twat yesterday.

Future me watching temporary -productivity-burst me commit to meetings and calls.

Guy who went on holiday to Toontown and made it his whole personality:

There's no law against bringing a rotisserie chicken onto an airplane. But a liquified rotisserie chicken would be against the rules. Therefore there must be a minimum acceptable degree of chicken viscosity that's suitable for air travel

The kind of insomnia where you're still up past 03:00, because to go to bed feels like declaring the day complete; but the day does not feel complete

www.sunnyskyz.com/blog/4101/Ch... Remarkable. BUT... I really think we need a different word for this kind of "memory". The colloquial meaning is just too strong, and misleading. Scientist: "pillows leave an impression" Public: "so maybe we can watch TV on them somehow?"

Ah, Bluesky; definitely not surrogate home of the "block me and move on" culture that got us in this mess. Right?

The discounted reward tier is almost out. And when they're gone, they're gone! If you were on the fence about getting it, you should hurry! 👀 Grab it here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ake...

If you haven't already, consider supporting the game on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ake...

So I've been enjoying Expedition 33 lately & was wondering if anyone could advise on the ways in which Thomas & Friends : Wonders of Sodor compares. I know the battle system differs, but in terms of punch; how would you compare say the Gommage to that time where Henry got bricked up in a tunnel?

A broken clock is right 11.5 million times a day if you can't get the hands to stop spinning around at 4000rpm

"Ah, time to start a productive day off! ...I'll just check that TV Tropes article first..." Dammit, Brain, if you were a side-character I would kill you off for stupidity.

Spring came; and with it, renewed attacks from the ants. They began small — but by April, the Patio Door frontier had been breached, and ant forces were conducting overnight raids with near-impunity.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

*Looks at Unity project list* "Last opened 5 years ago" ah, a recent one then

2026 basically

A recent frolic into physical art, rare these days; inspired by the genius that is #StarlightBrigade (Pastels & acrylic marker on card)

Kind of amusing when people shy from teaching young kids the word "cyan". It's like "orange is too complex; let's just argue endlessly whether carrots are red or yellow."

youtu.be/Tfh8fFyR-tM?... It seems all too often lately that a good thing is being quietly scrapped, in the hope nobody will notice until it's too late.

Accomplishments? Well I have been doing some time travelling, actually. Been steadily making my way to the future at a rate of 24 hours per day, for some time now

So genuine question for other indie Devs: if you were making a fan project on the side, that may involve copyright IP (not for profit of course), would you devlog / promote it on a separate social to your indie work, to make it clear it's non-commercial?

Okay but I think we can all agree that Kirk was at least an enabler of racism. I mean McCoy was constantly calling Spock "you green blooded SOB" etc and Kirk didn't do shit about it.

I don't really see anybody *celebrating* the death of Charlie Kirk; just a lot of people moving on, like it was some asshole at the zoo who was tormenting the lions then accidentally fell in and got eaten. "Oh well."

Renaming the Dept. of Defence to Dept. Of War is perhaps the most transparent example of "spoiled generations unlearned the lesson" so far

How do people describe our game: -Nostalgic and unique pixel art -Amazing -An intriguing post-apocalypse #indiegame #IndieDevs #gamedev #pixelart

I’m a hydration skeptic. not sure you need to drink that stuff

Some days the universe rends huge gaping chunks out of your soul, and you're not even really sure what specific thing did it

Social media rarely enriches my life and mostly exists as a huge pointless time sink, but today on here I learned the term "Wankpanzer" referring to a Cybertruck, and —honestly, I have significantly fewer regrets

This is incredible

Motherfucking wind farms…

Eldest (6) offers to go get youngest (3) out of the master bedroom and come to bed, despite telling her not to: "It's ok Dad, I'm going to trick her like Mother Gothel tricked Rapunzel." 💀

Don't *ignore* the news but don't let the despair consume you. If you find comfort in lighter things, embrace it. You can't individually fix problems of a certain size, but burning your brain out with sadness isn't going to help anyone. Do what you can, but take care of yourself. We need you.

I love coming across dumb stuff I did and totally forgot about. IIRC, someone I know typo'd and requested "A poster of photoshop"

Tired of doomscrolling? Try one simple habit to break free: just teach yourself to stop and walk away the moment you see a post about someone's cat that you don't care about. Some days I'm not even here 20 seconds
