Still on the struggle bus when it comes to doing art "for fun", but here's a little thing I was able to see all the way through! Featuring our characters, Cucumber and Marta, as well as @daylitebasement.bsky.social's best boy himself, Beary! 💚

Two different adult men, hours apart: "Wow, look at those crab plates!"

The plates in question:

Eight bone dry, redware plates with sgraffito spider designs.

I've taken my 3DS with me to multiple events the past year or so just for the fun of it, and today alone at Too Many Games I have Streetpassed 30+ people, which is wild for 2025. The most by far of any of these events.

Happy Down the Drain Day! It's weird to think that it's been three years, especially since we jumped right back into Super Cucumber development almost immediately afterwards. Very few people played it, but for a first game, I couldn't be more proud. #indiedev

The most important part of any convention are the endless doodles and margin scribbles of game design

The beginning of my attempted playthrough of PSO Episode 2 on Hard sure is going. (at least I beat the VR Temple...)

Friendship Ended Meme, but changed to Hatred and including pictures of the bosses, Barba Ray and De Rol Le from Phantasy Star Online as the new and old enemies respectively. Instead of clasped hands, the speaking person is holding a gun pointed at Barba Ray.

The one thing I've actively enjoyed about the Global Go Tour is when the hour shifts over and every spawn just turns into Zorua, leading to chaos like this. It eventually goes to normal, but this. This is fun.

Dipped a toe into PSO again for the first time in probably over a decade, and man, the nostalgia hit right off the bat. Even the recent art struggles couldn't keep me down!

Not too bad for my first real time playing any Tetris on an arcade cabinet!
