GlitchSPANKR is a weird walking sim type game with a lot of love in it. Strange. Funny. Often gross. Smiling Friends vibes, which is a compliment. I played about 80% of it, until the parts where it tries to be a Real Video Game got annoying. It really tickled me until then and is worth the money.

About game difficulty debates: Some players are difficulty fetishests. They will ALWAYS tell you to make your game harder, ALWAYS oppose making it easier, and ALWAYS mock people who have trouble. It's one voice to listen to, but you must always, at some point, tell them no.

I went to saw Weapons. Horror movie with a great hook (written on the poster). It's a really fun movie. The sort of trashy, B-movie-with-good-production horror movie that provides a reliably enjoyable night out. The way the story is structured is extra-neat.

For my next blog post, I took a pic of my Harlan Ellison collection. Most of his works are out of print. They must be owned as crumbling paperbacks. The acid in the cheap paper slowly eats at them. When I die, they will be dust. They can be mixed with the soil over my coffin.

My most common advice for aspiring devs is always: Play tons of games, but play them THOUGHTFULLY. After a few hours, take a step back and think.
