Herp Replacement Therapy by Courtana
A silly little game about changes
courtana.itch.io
I threw together another game: Herp Replacement Therapy
This one is family friendly, but will be deeply impactful to adults.
One of my playtesters said it did a great job of conveying the intended message.

I *love* that one of the "official diagnostic criteria" for a condition that can be treated with simple antidepressants is "realize you may have the thing, then track it for a year just to make sure you have the thing, THEN you qualify for treatment."

Been getting messages from recruiters on LinkedIn about jobs for AI startups.
They're offering almost double my current salary (and I make good money.) Obviously I'm not going to take the job, but ugh...
Having morals is hard.

I love Chicago but HATE the concept of subway platform musicians. I don't hate them for their jobs, but they're always so loud that it's a sensory nightmare. I feel their music in my bones.
