Plug time? Sure is!

I'm working on a pixel art RPG with rhythm game combat, kinda like a Chrono Trigger/Guitar Hero mix. If you like what you see go play the demo, it's free so all you have to lose is your precious time.

Go to pharmacy to get jab to avoid the SUPERFLU™️. Man in front of me in queue is coughing and talking about how he's got flu based pneumonia. Nurse who jabs me also rough with the flu.

Just hoping the virus sees so much of itself inside and outside my body that it gets self conscious and leaves.

At some point I started using all lowercase 'lol' as punctuation and by god I have no idea when. The Zoomer disease came for me, and it can come for you too lol 😢

Fell down a YouTube rabbit hole of Antarctic research station walkthroughs. Got to a British one and wondered if there'd be anything that gives away its Britishness.

Within 30 seconds I spotted a Henry Hoover.

I did all I could to keep the right wing wanks out of power in my constituency today. Now time to cross fingers and hope the mass amount of Reform noise and placards strewn across my town amounts to nothing...

Bought a ticket to a gig yesterday morning for tonight, got struck down by a cold by the evening. The gig cancellation demon is more powerful than I could have imagined.

Jira moving the status field somewhere where it's not pinned so you have to scroll up every time you want to see it is such dogshit UI I'm convinced the UX designers lost a bet against some particularly vengeful backend dev who hates both the designers, and users of the platform.

Tried out a 100x zoom on my phone camera out of curiosity of what it would make out of a far away Welsh flag. The AI made it look like it's been flown after a very bloody battle (I hope we won?)

That bittersweet moment of #gamescom when you pack up the @pracy.bsky.social booth after a long few days.

Such great vibes and lovely comments from the beginnings of what may become one of the most wholesome gaming communities! ✨

Now for that final push to launch... 💪

The QA career path in video games has such a bad reputation that the most common response when people in the industry find out what I do is 'you're so important, we need you'.

I KNOW. 😂

8,000km later and I've made it to Gamescom. Really happy we managed to localize into Deutsch. Even our puns work in German now! #gamescom2025 #gamescom

Can't sleep. Too busy thinking through a completely fictitious argument with my Reform loving dad about migrants.

'A plate only needs one starch'

And a body only needs one loving embrace, a heart only needs one pang of love, a life only needs one fleeting moment of joy...

Let yourself LIVE.

I ordered delivery and the delivery company chose a place quite far from me without my noticing and is getting a cyclist to deliver. It's basically all uphill to my house and I feel so bad. Plus it's gonna be soggy and way late. Why would they do this. 😭😭😭

A tragic scene plays out, moments before disaster:

'I'm exhausted. Will need to grab an early night tonight. I'll just have one quick game of Balatro.'

FIN.
