Maybe if I hold very still in bed, Monday won't see me.
Got back from camping, took a luxurious shower, and devoured the new #thezonecast. Very grateful I set up this plan to still have a bit of weekend tomorrow.
Brain: wanna make new thing!
Me: okay cool but these five things need finishing befo-
Brain: NEW!!!

You ought to be thankful a whole heaping lot
For the places and people you're lucky you're not.
You could be the branch from a #parkdale elm tree
Which this afternoon at a quarter past three
Came tumbling down on some poor fucker's car.
Did I ever tell you how lucky you are?!
If anyone would be interested, the game I worked on that was released last year is on the Steam Summer sale right now with 50% off :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/331870/AER_Memories_of_Old/ #gamedev #videogame
Unexpected result: the very close match between the color of the couch and the color of the totally unrelated chairs I already owned.
@relsqui all of my experience indicates that the couch is the natural environment for human beings
Hey, there's a developer called voodoo.io out there who keeps ripping off of indie devs' core game concepts, and releasing a shitty F2P version on app stores before the indie devs have finished their games.
Goldman Sachs gave them $200m in investment recently, so they're not going anywhere soon, but you can encourage you and your friends to ignore the fuck out of their games.

I have a couch!
Results are as expected: I don't want to be anywhere other than my couch.
Hey when I google for a tutorial, or a brief on something, know what I don't want? A YouTube video. I don't want a long, slow, ad-filled and unedited video full of ummms and uhhhhs explaining something a handful of screen shots and a few hundred words could do.
Today's terrible game idea:

I had this mental image, when I was planning the move, of unfurling myself into the new space -- like I'd been tucked into a box this whole time and was waiting to have room to finally actually stretch my limbs out.
When I thought about that I felt a bit silly, and cautious about overhyping it to myself. It wouldn't be THAT drastic a change.
Nope, turns out it is exactly that drastic a change. I'm not sure I ever entirely relaxed in the last place I lived. Now I do.
I've been living alone for just shy of a month and I still have not once ever been sad that there weren't other people hanging around while I was here. Not even after a week off (albeit a week in which I went out to see other people several times).
I think it surprises people when they ask me how it is and I reply with an unequivocal "Great!" I don't blame them; *I* didn't expect to take to it this well. But man.
I'm even enjoying keeping it tidy. Exactly as tidy as I care about and no more.
Oh shit I could make COOKIES.
I've had frozen dough kicking around for a while, but I didn't have a cookie sheet, and then I didn't have parchment paper, etc. Now I have all the things. Today could be the day I make cookies!
Putting the laundry away will also entail reorganizing some stuff, as I have a slightly better idea of where I want things to be now. I have a nice chest for linens, so I can take them off the closet shelf, so I can put pants up there, etc.
