2026:
Released a game on Steam.
Got most of another game done.
Moved out of the US to Mexico.
Recovered from said move.
Made a ton of stuff (clothes, hats, pairings, problems, knit shawls, crocheted most of an afghan, more) learned tambour beading, PowerPoint, substance painter, silk painting

I left the USA and started over in another country. I brought my family, my pets, and all my craft supplies!
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.

My first commissions went out today, and she was SO happy about them! They’re messy but they’re actual paint and not AI. I’m not a 2D artist, but I had fun and she’s delighted so hey.

There’s so many people who want to work and make things, but employment is broken. UBI works, just saying.
they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

I loved the comments about Goblin Gourmet 😁
While the Hard Drive Game Awards Presented by Call of Duty Black Ops 7 may now be over, the indie games we showcased will last forever (or until capitalism eats them whole).
Here's every game we were honored to show off. Go and wishlist them

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone
- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Scientists if you’re like “man I wish more people knew about X” then I humbly suggest hiring an artist to make a thing that communicates X and then put it into the world because it’s so fun, extremely “hell yeah” inducing, you gotta try it.

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

20 seconds of goblin “singing” while sprinting, and some hiYAH while catching bugs. When I first put the sounds together I belly-laughed until I was wheezing. #indiedev #indiegame

All those awesome journalists who’ve been laid off, they just want to work. They LIKE doing journalism, and they do it well.
All those game developers who’ve been laid off, same thing. They’re good at what they do.
I don’t get late stage capitalism & why all those good folks aren’t just working.
