Hi there, I'm Sam! I'm a married, autistic, 35-year-old dad of two and...

I'm developing an indie game, Crisis Island: store.steampowered.com/app/2311560/...
I have a pretty cool YouTube gaming channel: www.youtube.com/@WebstersYou...
And I like to think I can draw!

Let's be friends!

Can anyone recommend a UK bank or building society that understands the Equality Act and is able to provide reasonable adjustments? Nationwide Building Society are severely dropping the ball on that front.

There are many ways to make generic #pixelart textures much more interesting. Some are subtle, others more pronounced.

One of the best things you can do for a video is share it. Spread the love!
Sounds daft to say but I'm talking to a lot of people for whom YouTube is proving v difficult right now. If there's someone whose videos you like, boost them. Share their work around if you enjoy it. Support them on Patreon if you can. All helps a tremendous amount when the platform feels so hostile

I have to be selfish and tailor this feed to be inspiring and feel good, not another source of doom scrolling.

I can't:
- get Trump out of office (I live in the UK)
- stop wars
- pay your medical bills (or change a system that charges you in the first place)
- continuously expose myself to horrors

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.

Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Individual links below but it’s all on itch: danifinn.itch.io

Best approach to moving PS4 games from an external HDD to external SSD attached to my PS5?

I think the HDD is failing (console takes a long time to read it on every boot, doesn't always appear under System > Storage) and the SSD will be faster anyway, but I don't want to redownload everything.

Recurring bit was that, because we were hooked into TehSnakerer's PC via Parsec, we'd find increasingly novel ways to take as many screenshots as possible. We took so many (thousands) that Steam crashed, and then hurriedly alerted us to the extent of our screenshot sins. Incredible.

For those unaware, because I have the daftest sense of humour imaginable, I had a soundboard with which I frequently terrorised my teammates and audience alike. Totally normal behaviour. There's a good few mins from 52:00 here where I fully lose my mind with laughter because of it.

Fondly remembering the utter chaos that was the run of Xcommanderless I got to be a part of a few years back with a bunch of cool people. The two minutes or so from 1:48:00 is maybe my most triumphant moment in any video game ever. Impossible odds... and yet

Chance is a weird thing in games - there's a perception that as things get more random, games become less skillful and fun, but some of the most random games ever made are also some of the most beloved and memorable, what's the deal with that? youtu.be/_G6CCLW_OLk

I developed 12 games this year, so I made a short little showreel that shows everything off. Check it out, and if any of the games look interesting, give them a shot! I’d really appreciate it.
