A cute nature thing: my tiny pond dried up and I refilled it and replaced the plants a few days ago. Within a day a friend had showed up! (and this morning another frog had joined as well 🥹)

This evening Blueberry contrived to become semicircular

The beautiful blanket I ordered during the winter arrived today; planned to read Sour Cherry by @nassos.bsky.social underneath it, got up to get a cup of tea, and after 10 seconds Blueberry occurred

My new dice and the gigantic Beam Saber book arrived yesterday, and I'm very offended about waiting two weeks to play my brand new, deeply unwell, mecha pilot

I went earlier this week, it was gorgeous. Hope you have a lovely time!

this is some of my favourite HONOR BOUND feedback

Adrien Valdes aka @defenestratin.bsky.social did the cover art. Adrien's illustrated three of my games now and knocks it out of the park beautifully every time. He's also illustrated many other CoG and all of the Heart's Choice games.

My dad is so sweet

this makes up for when I first told him about Honor Bound and he guilelessly asked "is it about bondage?"

Tomorrow I'll get to see if my blood sacrifice was successful

Blueberry you are far too close to the ceiling (immediately after I took this photo, she knocked the shell and china bird off and started miaowing piteously because she could not get down)

Games that made me cry. Show me yours!

Bastion, Mass Effect 3, Tales from the Borderlands, and Dragon Age 2 turned me into an absolute mess. Bastion and TftB do it every time.

malt loaf has become very forward lately (also who the heck puts strawberries and cream on malt loaf, there's nowhere near enough room on a slice)

What's your "no one but me remembers" game?

My dad worked in edutainment in the 90s and would bring back games from conferences with no manuals or context. Sub Culture was my favourite - you're a scavenger/trader who gets involved in a cold war between two tiny underwater civilisations

It's my wife and my 21st anniversary today! We got together as teenagers and have been being ridiculous ever since. Here's to many more years of this:

Oh hey, Creme de la Creme and a bunch of other Choice of Games are on there 💖

reminds me of one of my favourite play store reviews:

was grumpy about The Terror being gone from iPlayer so I ordered it on DVD and watched the first episode of The North Water instead because I enjoy watching Colin Farrell having a bad time in the 19th century
