Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.

Been messing around with lighting in Life's Too Short HD. I'm still debating how much light a ghost will block so that needs work but this makes such a difference! #indiegamedeveloper #gamedev #godot

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too.

Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.

Hello friends, how are you today?

It turns out merging two companies and looking after a no-napping, nursery-bugged, potty training toddler is A LOT and finding time to post here lately has been tricky. 😅

Tell me your good news 🙌
