Ben shows off weird German stuff part 2/e:

While US americans had Pyjama Sam and Putt-Putt, we had Harry Hops. Two small adventure games with a rabbit, voice acting, and yes, even the classic "click on thing and watch a small animation"-business.

If you don't think this is the cutest lil' raclette grill I don't even know what you're on about.

Forgot to post it, but I saw the brilliant Anna Meredith and her equally brilliant band in concert on Friday.
That ruled. Highly recommend you check out their work.

Post a screenshot of your first 5 Steam purchases and let Bluesky judge you

Open the Steam client, click your name in the top right -> account details -> View purchase history and scroll down

Funny, I really haven't played any of these in a decade.

I'm not a visual artist, yet, sometimes for other projects, I prefer to cobble something up. There is no way I'm ever using gen AI.
