Game Dev | Narrative Designer | Brand Manager | Velan Studios who likes drawing, plants, and all around being a stubborn lil guy.
What is it called when your brain is too full at the moment to process anything else? And more importantly, how do you work around it?

... Asking for a friend of course.

I've really been enjoying making stained glass lately as a hobby and I'm even more glad I bought most of what I needed last year. I can't wait to be able to make bugs... 🐛 (The middle one is my own design even 😊)

The bat is kglasscreations on Instagram and Facebook.

Well... I'm a game dev so please don't mind if I post a couple bugs. (I'm sorry, I had to.)

It's been nice to experiment with a newish media combo, markers and coloured pencil. I'm getting back to my roots of drawing bugs, and it's really helping me a lot.

I'm at the stage of burnout where it's just "reject humanity, draw bug (molt)".

My friend literally just learned cross stitch and yarn making and sent me a care package of a bunch of her first pieces. 😭

She's so damn talented!! She's never met a fiber art she can't master, I swear!

I really wish you could just order replacement lenses from Zenni. I have perfectly good frames that I messed up one lens. 😭

(Note: I would prefer going to the local optometrist but the woman who helped me in the front was very rude about my appearance and preferences last time I went).

You know, it would be real nice for the economy to not be intrinsically tied to an ephemeral list of imaginary numbers... With said numbers guided solely by the whim and whimsy of mostly affluent people gambling?

Just like... A thought.

What? No. A clip of Sailor Moon didn't make me cry today. There's no proof.

I'd love to watch Severance but I simply don't have the capacity for serious, somber media that questions the core concept of identity as my entertainment right now.

I want a whisper of hopeful resolution. I need to feel like at the end of this all we'll be okay, even if we aren't there yet.

Folks love seeing the goofy indiedev shit that goes wrong.

The consolidation of retail into three megaliths has never been more obvious or apparent to me than trying to find a replacement rack for my new (used) toaster oven.

There are really only 3 options and I'm avoiding all three of them.

My seed potato sprouts for my purple potatoes are alien plants and you can't convince me otherwise.

No cheating post the last photo of pet? Sure!

I can tell I'm burnt out because I'm seriously debating taking my friend's offer to build a tiny cabin in the middle of the woods to be a hermit, farm, and hang out by a wood stove doing nice little crafts.

It sounds so Zen... But then I remember I'm accident prone and super glue only does so much.

happy GDC week!!! if you see me around, I’ve got some v cool badge ribbons I’m handing out!!

My community garden plot is WAY bigger than I anticipated... I have room for corn, at least 3 kinds of beans/peas, and still have room for squash and melons.

I'm gonna grow a summer squash, a hard squash, but I'm debating:

Sugar pumpkins, french cantelope, or watermelons??

Launching a game today, but not actually handling any of the storefront, metadata, or publishing tasks is like...

I am simultaneously wondering how the hell it's Tuesday and how the hell it's already March. Time is fake.

I believe Social Media Managers should get a holiday where we all get to go off on socials and post whatever we want, from silly goofy to savage rebuttals.

Yanno, I've found Monster Hunter Games to be terribly inaccessible to newcomers to the franchise.

I want to like them but...
March 9, 2025 at 11:59 PM
Can anyone watching Severance tell me - is a colleague telling you that "You're just like Helly R.," a good thing or a bad thing? 😬

So far I've just gotten "Huh. Yeah. I see it." But no answer.

... Totally asking for a friend, of course. 🫠😅
