One thing I enjoy about working on a project where I set all the goals and decide what to work on and when, is that sometimes you just want to do something pointless but interesting, like building a working analog wall clock instead of something that contributes to finishing. #ScreenshotSaturday

Happy anniversary, Great God Grove! Can you believe it's been 30 years already? I dug out my old strategy guide for the occasion. It's fragile, so I only scanned a bit in, but isn't it nostalgic?

It is done.

This took about two years from research to release, and I doubt I’ll ever make something of this scope ever again. I’m so thankful to everyone who supported me.

Grab a cup of your favorite beverage, curl up in a cozy space, and enjoy.

You know someone is truly on your wavelength when you tell them without context that "Poop Eel" is an anagram of "Pope Leo", instead of asking what the fuck is wrong with me, they simply respond with "Pee Pool"
