Trying to be better about supporting my backlog of games.
Here's "Tower of Greed", built in collaboration with @gemfruit.bsky.social, which got over 1 million plays on #Kongregate alone.
Still one of my favorites.

@elgato.com Any work being done on adding mouse button support as the activation "hotkey" for virtual stream decks set to dynamic activation?
The results of this guide are pretty sweet, but I'd love to activate it via the mouse, without setting a macro in software.

I just read this article about Steam's colossal mistake that cost multiple members of an indie studio more mental anguish than words or money can possibly replace, IMHO.
In order to stay afloat, I've shared ROOMS, didn't eat out, etc, for years - it's brutal.

Valve apologizes for ruining a Steam game's launch
A decade's worth of work in Steam's early access went down the gutter, and the developers spent almost a year wondering why their game failed

I just switched backed to a long abandoned YouTube Channel account (due to a handle issue, I got it back!), only to find that the algorithm there is so pure, so kind, so gentle. Video game music, game dev, creativity - not all the politics and garbage on my main.

When I was in Korea recently, there was a cat cafe on the main Myeongdong strip, and I wanted to go sooooo bad, but you had to block out a half hour, and some of my crew was allergic.
Maybe I will run my own now.

Mike Johnson thinking HE can decide who "needs" or "deserves" Medicaid, is the EXACT reason we have people like Luigi Mangione deciding who "needs" or "deserves" a bullet or three in their cranium.

I come from poverty - I will NOT live in a country where we spend MILLIONS on attacking innocent people (domestic and foreign) and marching tanks in the streets, but we can't feed our children, provide healthcare, accept that dental IS medical, among so many other issues.

A decade...it's been too long.
This photo is kind of overwhelming for me, in so many ways.
From the individual events each person in this photo has gone through (divorce, loss of loved ones, depression, war), to the strength and growth that each has demonstrated during those trying times.

There's a LittleFreeLibrary.org box on my dog walk route, so I obviously added a #Zelda Wind Waker Outset Island figure to it.
Link is safe in the warmth, much like I am here in Vermont, USA, but the weather / politics outside are "dangerous to go alone!" level. Even when I am safe, WE must fight.

My mantra for 2025 is to be it all the ways. Rather than get caught up design choices, which is better, how to do what, I'm just going to DO. I can build all 3 options faster than I can pick one, so why not just do until I learn, and some day take less time on step 1. 2025, year of Do.
