The 2D bundle on humble at the moment includes a surprising amount of games I already own, including Nova Drift which I have over two hundred hours on. This may not mean much because you're probably following me for narrative game content not my taste in roguelite shmups, but it's still awesome.

It's funny seeing people confused by a 1997 French Adventure game with Paulo Coelho & Moebius... We focus too much on GAMER stuff for millennials, so it's easy to miss how the 90s was full of Adventure games / Myst-likes made with TV channels, museums & famous authors to target then-adult audiences

Call me crazy but I do not think me not answering my mobile phone - I may have been in another room at the time - is a good reason to immediately cancel a medical appointment I made a MONTH ago without even emailing me to tell me you'd done so.

So I ordered an item and was shipped another item (because the original was discontinued but the site had claimed to still have the old version so I tried to snag that while I could). Shipper's original reply to me was just 'Oh yeah that's the updated version' so I got a bit cranky at them.

Spooky season is on the door and I'm planning to make a spookyxel art starter pack! If you do or know someone who does spooky themed pixel art, please leave a comment so I can check the profile and add to the list! The art don't need to be 100% spooky, can be spooky + cute or funny for example
1 Bit pixel art banner, on the center is writen "spookyxel art" and on the background there are some halloween themed creatures like a top left jack'o lantern, top center spider, top right bat and a creepy ghost coming from the bottom

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.
