Today was our first ever Halloween blood drive! Some us even donated for the first time ever! All together, the group donated 8 pints of blood. That's almost as much blood in the human body! 😱🩸

Here's another Game Jam creation! "Toast, Jam, Nutritious!" is a cozy, jam-on-toast sim created by Snowmie Andrew with music by Hamid. The player receives order tickets for different bread and jam combos and tries to make them. It is making me hungry!
