One week ago today was our last night in our home of 6 years.
We have been settling into our new space as well as we could hope for!
Still way too much on the agenda to consider coming back to content yet but progress is being made 😊
I even finally started to play Tunic properly this week 🦊

Another Steam Next Fest has rolled around during my content hiatus.
I still have over 50 demos in my library before even looking at new ones 😅
The fomo is real, the sadness about hiatus is real, the feeling behind is real, but have to remember, it’s all for a good cause.
We can’t do everything.

I was presenting my spreadsheet to the team at work yesterday and explaining how it worked.
In the middle of my demo I accidentally called it the spreadshite.
Of course it stuck.. so now it’s just called the spreadshite. This is my contribution to the workplace 😂😭🤷🏻♀️

Essential reading imo.
The tragedy of it is that the people who are the ones that need to hear it aren’t the ones who are going to pick up a book like this.
Anyway, came for the awe-inspiring animal facts, became increasingly heartbroken, and left wanting to pass on the message.

I just got my purple belt in BJJ.
Yes I yelled no when I got called out.
Yes I cried infront of my entire team.
Yes I was in a state of actual bodily shock.
No I did not manage to eat my cake.
10/10 would recommend. Who needs comfort zones anyway 😂

My top played games on Steam by playtime!
Isaac is in the lead by almost 300 hours and I haven’t even started Repentance yet 😅
I also don’t ever trust playtime as I press play then wander away from my games regularly, but this feels accurate enough!

Downsizing and moving really is a many months long project ey 😅
Mega curveballs have caused delays, and hitting lots of mental brick walls lately.
I wonder if I can find a way of gamifying the process that will help.

When I went on hiatus I didn't really manage to wrap things up how I would have liked.
Here is a little explainer and update about how things are going!
Unfortunately no streams on the horizon yet, but it is still on my mind and I am missing it a lot.

Building a mansion in Sons of the Forest. It feels ambitious yet achievable. Here is the project so far 😄
We finally found a location earlier in the week and laid some foundations.
Then in session 2 it has started to look like a building!
Might keep an update thread 👷🏻♀️

I’m in the penultimate chapter of The Cat Lady and despite it being depressing as all hell, I am enjoying it quite a bit. I’ve never really played anything like it!
Looking forward to seeing how it all wraps up.

It's the 10th anniversary of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Here's a thread of images that very few people will have seen. Thanks to the opportunity that Sony Santa Monica gave us, we had the freedom to explore ideas, even if that meant we left a lot of amazing work on the cutting room floor...
