A cat. This morning. Staring at us through the back door. Not our cat. We don’t have one.
Cute though.

Our raid on the Nintendo Pop Up Shop yesterday resulted in Pikmin hoodies for me and the kids.
It was a good day.

Technically, I’m an adult. So I can do shit like this if I want and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.

At a retro fair. I definitely shouldn’t pick this bad boy up, right?

And we’re off! Qualifying for Games Aid karting. Our first kart has already broken and been swapped out. Bodes well…

Were the ones in orange - only because those bastards at Kwalee got to the gold ones we normally wear before us.

For all the husbands out there. This little fella has been sat in an old ice cream tub full of bits and bobs. Why hasn’t it ever been thrown out?
Because today I’m dismantling a bed and this is PRECISELY the tool I needed to do so.

This may be the single greatest and most appropriate gif I've ever seen.
Gif creator person - I salute you.

Clearing out one of mum’s old desk drawers. Judging by the office address and job title, I’d say this bad boy is from about ‘91. #gamedev

Well, it works and people seem to be enjoying it. The notebook is filling up nicely with things to fix too.

What I should be doing: Packing for Brighton and Develop.
What I'm actually doing: Some last minute tweaks to the build. What's the worst that could happen?

Just some late #screenshotsaturday bits from 2 Delve 2 Deep (not a sequel) - my #procgen #dungeoncrawler game.
This is the build I'll be taking to Develop Brighton for @brilliantindietreasures.com

I can guarantee that no 'AI' is being used to make my game. In addition, it turns out only a very small amount of regular 'I' is being used as well.
