85% of the games that were listed on Tiny Table Index have now been listed on iwanttoplay.games — the remaining 60'ish are uploaded but need images so not yet live, I'll be doing that when I get the chance. Was a far more manual process than I'd hoped but almost done now 😀

And I'm REALLY VERY MUCH looking forward to seeing this. I don't have a teen-era story to add to it, I just am. Although I did spend a large part of a night verrry closely watching a slug once. I'm not sure that counts.

🐛 The Perilous Pear & Plum Pies of Pudwick is DIY Crowdfunding on Melsonia's website now!
I was directly inspired by the world building of #HollowKnight & pitched this book in 2019, so it's been in development as long as #Silksong!
Go buy my first book! It's good!

In my teens I also watched a lot of X-Files, Twin Peaks, Dark Skies, etc and if I wasn't currently on a non-essential spending embargo I'd be all-in on this one.

When I was a teen I had a No Fear poster of a freeballing climber—y'know, when they're on a cliff face with no ropes, pretty sure that's the right term anyway—on my wall. But I did, I did fear. No poster will tell me what to do.

So, on 29th August, the US is ending de minimis treatment for parcels under $800 value globally. It's already done this for China; now it's going to come in for everyone. If you post parcels to America, this is going to affect you, in one of several ways.

I'm not saying I'm needy but I've sent two messages to a Facebook Marketplace seller in the last 48hrs and they've not responded to either of them so I'm now trying to figure out just what is wrong with me, y' know, deep down, as a person—why don't they like me-eee??
