my main thing is remembering to engage with the things that feel like safe havens of optimism! like being able to stream KEXP from across the ocean. instead of doomscrolling social media

when working on the Life Eater UI (a game about abductions in the name of a god that might not exist) i looped through Ethel Cain's Preacher's Daughter (an album about a religious girl being abducted-- "god loves you, but not enough to save you"). match made in heaven

as i'm learning more about my own diagnosis, i'm finding so many of the characteristics of autism are framed inaccurately/simplify a lot. "direct way of speaking due to inability to understand cues"? sometimes, but mostly i get the cues fine, just don't think that way of communicating is productive?

hmm good point... so many personal websites that are highlighted are by technologists and so there's a really homogenous understanding of what a personal website will have as content. i really like the stuff i see on Neocities, in that "wait. i can put this on my website??" way, it's a good reset

Ethel Cain in Glasgow tonight. so so beautiful

beautifully lit old venue (O2 Academy), golden red tones, with a strong focal point of Ethel, only a shadow against a bright backlight

Impro #4 (from the school bell)

[EN] It's vacation time in my zone, so I wish you all a happy vacation, and I wish my colleagues, who are looking forward to it, all the best.
I hope that the school bell will be less monotonous with this version.

A customer had to wait a little longer for a Mr Blobby 3D statue so I made a selfie from Blobby for them.

it's been ages since i've played a game that delighted me so much!

it's a 15-minute deal, with so many little details in the world, lovely art and music, and being able to see other people in it is so cool. games can be so cool...

yeah i feel that for sure, late night means less energy needing to be spent in making sure you're doing-the-right-thing-at-the-right-time, which i find tires me out a lot. freeform time is the best for being creative.

i'm finding it hard to go to bed early, but want to be a morning person again 🤔

Sometimes you just accept things as a part of your day to day, so take a second and say out loud...

"We're making a game called Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?! where you play the truck in an Isekai story."

You can think "...hell yeah..." if you like!

It's coming out next year!
