I am super happy about my first attempt to write and design a game! It's a short meditative game about working in a temple and school.

I am now on Assassin's Creed 2, it is amazing what the simple addition of stores do to the overall feel and immersion of the game world.

Currently replaying Assassins Creed for a larger analytical project. I find it fascinating how much of the first game feels like a proof of concept. The mechanics are there, but unfinished, rough and simple.

Bringing this up again to spread the word. People aren’t getting their SNAP (food benefits) come November 1st. This is disastrous.
This feeds poor, unhoused, and disabled people. Our voices are small and it’s hard to get people to notice our struggles. So many people will starve without SNAP

Y’all my November SNAP is being delayed without any more information (which I rely on to yanno EAT)
I am panicking but hoping something will come through… people are gonna starve and I don’t know if anyone is even talking about this.
