My newest game is out! Blind Faith is a short PSX-Style horror adventure game about doomed cults and gothic Americana.

20 years ago, a cult vanished. Search for a missing person in their old house.
But watch out. The cultists are gone, but something remained.

Some actual renders of models are happening, and what better character to do that with than the main protagonist!

I missed my bus stop.
The next one was 10 minutes later in Nowhere, Nieuwegein, where i had to wait 13 minutes for a new bus, which then took again 10 minutes to get to the stop I needed.

So instead of 50 minutes late I arrived 80 minutes late, that sucks

I don't think I feel a greater disconnect from any other human being than people who list their hobbies as "Food and travel".

Considering "Hobbies: food and travel" describes 95% of my relatives, I think I disprove that thing people say of "people are attracted to people like their mom"

I miss that so much. Deltarune Weird Route brought back wonderful memories of it during the first week when nobody knew what the requirements actually were and all guides were full of details like "You must go an interact with this door, and you need to walk back and forth here 20 times and"

@mariobrothblog.bsky.social is my favourite social media account in the whole damn internet btw, someone so meticulously dedicated to random pieces of trivia about Mario games is exactly the sort of thing I imagine at least one alternative universe version of me is doing

Okay since I wanna try getting better at drawing, and people say you have to "draw" for that, I'm gonna try something.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

So retro!

Screenshot of a mockup for a jam game, you can see the 2 main characters (an onion and a pumpkin) are inside a mansion, with lots of decoration around. It also has a CRT filter applied to it!

Degoogling your life feels like a full time job but I'm happy to do it, and I will feel way safer when I'll successfully have moved everything out of their services.

Started looking into it a while ago, thanks to a dev friend who's been looking into that too!

I just found out COD: Black Ops 7 is a game that exists.

Forgive my shock and ignorance, but when did Black Ops 4, 5, and 6 happen?!

What in the world is wrong with us.
