God, do I hate having to use a medical device. The machine itself is fine, it's having to get the provider to give me a clear answer on what I owe. I've called them four times and got four separate responses. Never the same price twice. How hard is billing?

Well, air bud didn't get too big. It only grew to the size of my fist before the plant died back. RIP.

Finally looked into how a day's encounter is set up in my game prototype. I found that I hard coded the values in, depending on length of the encounter. Looks like I have to re-work it into an *actual* system now...

Well, Air Bud is still going strong. The vine it's on doesn't look like it's under strain. Yet.

One thing all this heat brings up: I found out one of the melons I planted is a bit on the dramatic side. Daily waterings and it still looks like it's drying out and wilting. Every evening it perks right back up, though. Too bad I planted it near tall plants. No shade covering with that.

If you have a dog that's a menace, please remember that they're probably bored and need some more enrichment. Mine is sweet because she hassles me nonstop for attention and play time. And I pay attention to her telling me that.

If anyone wants to know what a dead-end technology looks like, it's a turbo on a daily driver car. Sure, there's extra horsepower from it, but the added exponential cost of repair means the daily driver is no longer viable as a daily.

I hadn't seen #PointNClickFriday before, this is delightful! So much to wishlist. I suppose I should share screenshots from my own WIP adventure game that I've been tinkering away at in AGS over the past few months. No store page or anything, not for a long time yet if ever, but just for funsies.

A screenshot of a WIP adventure game. There is an anthropomorphic mutant rooster in the center of the image, in a gas station parking lot. Behind him is a green-roofed building with a sign above it reading "Last Stop Gas Stop" (Though it could be mis-read as 'Last Gas Stop Stop' due to word placement).

The layout of the room is a direct homage to the Snuckey's locations in Lucasarts's "Sam & Max Hit the Road".

To the left side of the image, there is a red and white building labeled "Rick's Chix" with a stylized animated rooster sign above, wearing a Colonel Sanders-inspired suit, holding a chicken drumstick.

Angus (The rooster man) comments of the mascot sign "I say, downright aspirational, aside from the, uh, cannibalism".

To the left of the image is a gas pump in the foreground and the flatbed of a red pickup truck.

A screenshot of a WIP adventure game.

The scene is moodily lit, and shows the aftermath of some bloody event in a orange-canvassed wrestling ring in the background. In the foreground an anthropomorphic bear-man with a rim lighting effect stands next to a kiosk with a kiosk attendant.

To the right of the screen is a gray trailer lit from the inside. There is a mini-fridge, a doormat, and some posters visible within.

The sun is setting in the background. Clouds are under-lit in orange and yellow, with a purple sky beyond.

I *meant* to do a couple of quick changes to my game over lunch, but I ended up playing it instead. I think I'm back in love with it.

Note to self: when declaring your framework, choose shorter names for the things you call all the time. I'm getting serious jamais vu after the hundredth time writing "attribute."

Hey, so Can we stop getting mad when a dev 'abandons' a completely finished, complete package of a game? Not every game should be a 'forever' game. Sometimes a complete package with a defined beginning, middle, and end is the better outcome I just want to enjoy good games from passionate devs

Let me just state for this year: I *still* think Intuit and it's ilk are a parasite on the US taxpayer. Lobbying for the most labyrinthine tax policy possible, charging people to navigate it, and then spending those proceeds to lobby again next year is bullshit.

Being an indie dev and trying to drum up sales by pitching to other indie devs is like trying to sell pizza to a restaurant. It may technically be possible, but it's a hell of a lot harder than trying to sell it to a lunch crowd.
