Been missing old point n click adventure games, and I bought this pack on Humble Bundle about a week ago, so it's time to see if I can make it farther than I did when I was 7! Now to only decide if I want to play the original or the remake 🤔

Definitely seized the chance for a relaxing, moody walk in the LA rain.

I can’t believe it’s been this long, but today is the 5 year anniversary of launching The Pathless! This project was so special to me, thank you everyone who played it and had such kind words about my animation work on it. Putting so much effort into making the eagle really shine was so worth it. 🦅💖

Hadn’t been feeling too great this week, so been staying in. Felt up for a walk today, so got a treat. Feeling a lot better after some fresh air.

I always gotta spin the Castlevania vinyl on Halloween!

Still working through UFO 50! Found a perfect lil horror game for the spooky times. Style reminds me so much of the original Shadowgate!

Played a bit of the Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era demo, and I might have to pick this up when it’s finished! It feels like a warm, relaxing cup of tea with an old friend.

Or perhaps you prefer the other CGA palette?

Quick lil pixel doodle from last night playing around on my iPad.
Been thinking about old PCs and decided to play around with the CGA color palette. It’s very nostalgic to me.

Yesterday I stopped by the weekly farmers market nearby because usually I’m working and can’t go. Picked up some new teas. That Peach Oolong smells soooo good (and tastes it too!)

Space is always such a problem, haha. That’s why I love my lil Yamaha Reface DX that I just keep on the coffee table in front of the couch. Wouldn’t recommend for your situation as it’s mini keys and a full on synth, but it is so convenient for space.

Mostly resting and enjoying the new DK during break so far, but getting back to running today.
Slowly working on restoring the work/life balance, and a good start is my health and getting back into shape!

I think this marks the first time I was at a show that got a blu ray release! Still can’t believe I was actually there.
Takanaka was incredible and I never thought I’d actually get to see him play, and to have this to remember it by is like a dream.

I won! All thanks to a pure stroke of luck getting cards I needed in the end to give me a ridiculous 14 turns on the last round!
