Making the actual super simple game took about 40 minutes, including drawing the sprites. The infrastructure around it (title screen, character selection, unnecessary end screen animation) took nearly 2 hours. Priorities!

Screenshot of character selection screen in video game. Three heads of geese with hair inspired by the witches from the film Hocus Pocus.

Well this is spectacular ❤️

Honkus Ponkus - it is the film Hocus Pocus but everyone is geese. Someone should get on that. *send*

Vix Leyton @vixleyton.bsky.social · 7d

That is the point Kevin. I’m done with discrimination against geese.

I had cause to utter the words ‘I would punch a swan in the face in Canada’ earlier, which I appreciate doesn’t cast me in a good light out of context.

At Women’s Rugby World Cup final and the official entertainment in the break in at least two sections was… male solo singers. Even at a celebration of women’s excellence in sport you cannot escape average blokes with guitars singing Mr Brightside.

My mum operates on a similar scale ‘I’m not being nasty, I’m just being rude’ with the difference being whether she is being motiveless malignant or making an uncharitable assertion based on material facts.

Nothing tells you advertising works quite like buying this as a f*ck you to chauvinism a cool 13 years after the ‘not for girls’ campaign stopped running.

Got a fringe, because I am scared of Botox.

Why am I incapable of taking my coat off without looking like I am escaping a straitjacket please? Next to a normal, civilised person on the train who has just witnessed me wiggling about ineffectually, tried several big shrugs before eventually reaching around to tug my own sleeve off. Mortified.

We should have messaged eachother. I was in a hotel full of the worst people in the world so no sleep for me.

Come on baby, mama has nowhere to be and needs this Delay Repay refund. Let’s do this.

Demonstrates my age and naivety that when I saw British flags on the tube I thought the Spice Girls might be performing.

10/10 no notes.

Wearing a wrap dress that likes to surprise me by untying itself every now and again for no discernible reason. It is certainly adding a bit of added excitement to the day. Who will she flash next? Stay tuned!

Excited to be & friends with the unbelievably cool @reubenkaye.bsky.social this evening at the glorious Queer Comedy Club. It’s on a poster so it must be true. If you are around London, this is destined to be fabulous. Last few tickets left!

Last night of my Edinburgh Fringe run with the incredibly unlucky Comedy Arcade. One more to go and I’d love to see what the room looks like busy. All kinds of offers or I can take payment in laughs and pints. Competitive storytelling with some of the UK’s best! At Gilded Balloon Appleton!

Vix Leyton @vixleyton.bsky.social · Aug 13

Sat in the front like a maniac.

Vix Leyton @vixleyton.bsky.social · Aug 7

*might* be my new favourite @watsoncomedian.bsky.social show, that. Everyone go and see it so we can talk about it.

Vix Leyton @vixleyton.bsky.social · Aug 4

To be clear, you don’t need a ticket.

I was trying to be mysterious. It’s on.
