whoops, just had to relearn the lesson we learn every year: when the space heaters are on, running the microwave will flip breakers and kill all the important power. XD

Hey, hi senate: When the administration refuses an order to feed people AND tries to punish states for doing so, the fight's bigger than caving to threats & conceding to a vague "promise to look at healthcare subsidies later" that isn't even in writing. www.npr.org/2025/11/09/n...
Trump admin order to 'immediately undo' full SNAP benefits leaves states scrambling
The Trump administration late Saturday directed states that they must "immediately undo" any actions they have made to provide full benefits to low-income families via SNAP.

While excavating picture books that kidlet has outgrown, we came upon a Skippyjon Jones book, which naturally required a dramatic reading of the adventures of Skippito Friskito 😂 Really thought I was in for a teenaged eyeroll, but got thru the whole thing & laughter for my efforts - worth it 🥰📚

1st board game day at our house in forever - finally got boxes cleaned out of the living room/house, so there's space for a cardtable, chairs, & tray tables for game pieces & snacks. Hoping cats will be too busy plundering in the rearrangements to tablejump & gamescatter but dice are SO TEMPTING

Letting child sleep as long as possible (5-15 mins) b4 classes start bc of insomnia issues = mother how could you, I need time to wake up! Waking child up 60-30 mins before class = mother how could you, I need time to sleep! 🤣 Fair, there's a 16-29 minute window I haven't tried

So that's your warning that my fangirling will continue and probably intensify on my feed, over every aspect of this entire game series 😅 I'll try to #hadesplaythru or #hades1 if you need to block my obsession at any time 😂

Gonna start a Hades 1 playthru on Twitch next week (Tues 11am EST) bc folks need to experience how insanely awesome it is even if they, like me, have impressively terrible gaming skills. 🤣 Don't worry, will be updates on Luridity books/game progress too, to help me grab forward momentum on both. 🌈📚💙

I added a bunch of box drawing elements to my latest fantasy pixel font, Knightwood :D

tjtrewin.itch.io/knightwood-p...

If you layer things up you can even customise it to make different coloured patterns, borders, ropes, vines, chains, and UI elements!

#PixelArt #PixelFont #Font #IndieGameDev
Knightwood fantasy pixel font, 250+ languages, bonus glyphs, 16px tall overall with 8px high uppercase Text in a dialogue box made using the font: "TJ Trewin: Did you know that if you add box drawing elements on different layers, you can add shading & make unique patterns!" The examples show vines and ropes with optional shading, chains, and decorative border patterns. A pixel aesthetic indie game mockup "KrakenQuest", made entirely using elements from the font. Rope adorns horizontal black cinematic bars, framing an ocean and sky. The sky has a gradient made using shade character blocks. Kraken tendrils rise from it, made with border elements. The start menu UI buttons are also made from these elements, with text: NEW GAME, LOAD GAME, EXIT TO DOS. A mini game mockup of an Objectives screen or quest log at a tiny scale resolution. Text: "Objectives. Steal 100 loot (optional). Learn Benny's whereabouts. Travel to the bear pits. Continue (left right arrows)" The border elements show example use as checkboxes for incomplete, complete, and in progress.

take that, perfectionism, I finished another thing!! 😤

alongside Septembit & Swordtember, I've been chipping away at this lil 8px font that I've lovingly named Ochito :D

tjtrewin.itch.io/ochito-pixel...

it's great for teeny tiny text! 🔍

#PixelArt #Aseprite #Font #IndieGameDev
Ochito Ochito is only 8 pixels tall (including accents) and its name is a combination of the Spanish word for eight, ocho, plus the diminutive suffix -ito! Ochito is quite literally "little eight" :D It's perfect for teeny tiny text! I made this font so I didn't have to keep drawing all my words manually lol An example showcasing some of the glyphs from the Ochito 8 pixel font, including basic and extended Latin characters, punctuation marks, numbers, currency symbols, and Roman numerals from 1-12. 1-bit style pixel art mockup (using only two colours) of a fictional Zelda game for Gameboy to showcase the Ochito 8 pixel font in the UI. 1-bit style pixel art mockup (using only two colours) of a fictional Zelda game for Gameboy to showcase the Ochito 8 pixel font in the UI. Dialogue text as Link interacts with a gossip stone: "They say that there is a secret near the lone tree which is not far from the river in the northwest part of Hyrule Field."

Hard to revise some of my cyberpunk stuff when dystopian fiction things I wrote last year are now actual reality & feel more like horror. Anthology does ok balancing w/ hope-topian, but the romance novel...hm, perhaps more smut to symbolize the community values of people coming together? 😏 💙🌈📚

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

A graphic with a vibrant rainbow background, announcing "Artist applications now open!". The white text box below reads, "Artist applications are now open for 'We've Always Been Here', a queer history zine. Let's show everyone that queer people have always been a part of history. This is a paid opportunity, contingent on our Kickstarter successfully funding." Beside the text box is a digital illustration of a north African girl with short, curly hair, wearing overalls, sitting beside an easel with an oil painting she's made of another girl.
