First pottery class done! Never done this before but I really enjoyed it and my instructor was impressed by my first attempts. I picked it up pretty quickly and made what I wanted (a yunomi 湯のみ) after my third attempt. It was then cut in half to better understand the process 😅
Ahh! I have new #pottery photos! Been trying to make tokkuri or sake bottles for hot sake.
Not the easiest thing to make, so I ended up failing a couple more times before settling on just the one plus a small cup and a generously sized ramen bowl.

Just watched a preview trailer for some mountain climbing game on Steam and it's one of those jank, nonsensical bullshit AI slop videos that some douche on LinkedIn would be proud of.

There has been a dearth of reviews for indies on Steam lately. Too many honest to goodness frickin’ awesome games have flown under everyone’s radars, either from little word of mouth or due to buried presence on Steam.
If you love the game you’re playing, then a review goes a long way to elevate!

Don't forget: If you've played and enjoyed Demonschool, please do leave a review on steam! We want to hit that "overwhelmingly positive" threshold. And remember, if we do it by the end of the month (5 days!), Faye gets a pretzel~ store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

Finally managed to score a couple of bottles of mead from my friends meadery in Tokyo. Ever since I tasted Wicked Way Mead about 7+ years ago, I’ve been trying to get my hands on some bottles for ages. They’ve always been very limited batches however. This is absolutely delicious!

My copium is still immense for this game, but I continue to be disappointed with the blackout silence this is getting from CAPCOM.
After the 4 million sales announcement a few days ago, it got everyone frothing again for ANY kind of update.
FFS give us something!

Had an urge to replay Dragons Dogma 2 on PS5.
Then I remembered CAPCOM made the dumbest, anti-player decision ever.
It’s absurd that in this day and age you still can’t have more than one save and if I want to start again, I either have to complete the game with my current save or wipe it.

Unchecked corporate fuckery is costing an absurd amount of people’s health and wellbeing on top of the environmental cost and all for a technology that has no real viable application. People are getting all the effects of being chimney sweeps and working coal mines for a thing that doesn’t even work
In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

Brandon doing the absolute BEST thing for the Necrosoft devs, where AAA has been the absolute worst across the board.
No matter who you are playing r what your role is, you should be 100% proud of your work and be able to show it off with the same pride.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
