I like cute stuff, couldn't you guess? 2D and 3D artist, neurodivergent. Game dev of Calico, the magical girl cat cafe game! Mom of 2 humans, 2 cats, 5 chickens~

Going to stress again that even though this also ideologically sucks, it's also just a lie. This article is basically an advertisement, and you should view it with the same skepticism with which you'd view a listing for $10 vacuum that says it's entirely silent.

Woke up at like 3am after stress dreaming about soil types and tree placement and now I can’t get back to sleep. Brains are wild

tried a watercolor look using glazes and I’m soooooo happy with it

Lifelong issues are tough because whenever you actually start making it better (even temporarily) it's awesome, but it's always accompanied by "Why couldn't it have always been like this?" or "Why couldn't I have figured this out before my knees got old"

I can't believe my ADHD brain chose to hyperfocus this month on TWO healthy active hobbies (gardening and ballet), this is truly unprecedented.

Did you know it’s illegal to sell a ballet leotard for a larger bust? I know it’s a really odd rule but yeah also if you try to order one your phone explodes like 50 feet

Procedural is generally something created with both rules and data that you've created, with prompts the player creates. Gen is a unknown stolen data set, with rules you are unaware of, that you create an extra set of rules on top of, and is prompted by the player

It seems too obvious to even point out, but Calico is Pumply’s big Clumbly and I doubt I’ll ever make a non pumly game in my whole life

Big fan of misty cube though

I strongly believe in the breadth and influence of independent art, to grant us oblique angles on the world and ourselves.
But also every indie game is somewhere on this spectrum:
A triangular range chart labeled "Indie Game Vibe Check", where the three axes are "Enpoisoned", "Pumpy's Big Clumpy", and "Misty Cube". Each intersection features a game - Lunacid is the most Enpoisoned, Untitled Goose Game is the most Pumpy's Big Clumpy, and Manifold Garden is the most Misty Cube. Undertale is directly in the center, surrounded by Tunic (Pumpy), Void Stranger (Misty), and Star of Providence (Poison)

I think we’re between waves, like a majority are older and just trying to keep things stable for the remainder of their lives. Whatever new thing springs up may not be for a while I’m guessing?

The vyvanse is not actually helping my focus, memory or brain fog much, but it seems to be hitting my chronic fatigue like a truck which is eternally life changing. I'm still not at the energy level of the average person, but having even an hour of energy a day is a huge change.

got my unhelpful helper here

Vyvanse update: Been on it for a couple months now, the crashes are much more chill and I've figured out what and when I need to eat during the day to make it absorb consistently. I did two different online exercise classes this morning (ballet). I've literally never done that in my life

If it's super important, I'd stop playing it asap and send it into a well reviewed place to make sure you don't damage it further by playing. Maybe even one local so you don't have to worry about shipping

Yeah, we just digitized a ton of tapes. If you send them in, they'll do their best to recover what they can. My vids aren't perfect, but there's more information than when I played it on a player directly.

There's no rationality to it, I get cat bites daily that are way worse. 😂 Brains are silly. I do actually have a net hat though, I should start wearing it

I'm definitely slowly getting better from when I was little! My big issue is my reflex to run away or freak out in the moment. I'm legit gunna see if this is something a therapist could help with. I want to love bees so much ;-;
kells.bsky.social
I was running away from a bee when my husband said "dude chill, when was the last time you were stung by a bee?" and I was like "Literally never, that's why I'm scared!"

I'm just going to have to get a little bug net tent to sequester myself in

I want to be a nature lover so bad. I want to exist in the outdoors and be a cool disney princess forest girly. I wish I wasn't TERRIFIED of bees, spiders and bugs 😭
I'm building this natural backyard habitat which will be good for the earth and bad for my ability to go outside

My latest update said they technically won't force it, but won't be doing any more security updates for 10 ;-;
kells.bsky.social
Dang, they finally forced an update to Windows 11. I held out so long lmaooo

Would it help to email to request you at specific cons? I would be pissed if I found out your kind of art was passed over for another dropseller booth or something. Your stuff is so high quality!

(Then I think the person making marketing materials realizes those ads with the woman character are getting more clicks so then you result in the ad of her in an odd pose with the actual key art in the distant background)
