Good news though, I did manage to get an affordable refurb PC with decent enough specs I can use in the short term. While I figure out what the hell happened later with new parts.

UPDATE: my condition is much worse than I thought... last July the docs found pre-cancerous tissue which will burst and KILL me unless I get 3-4 pounds worth of gut removed and replaced with a prosthesis 😖 my surgery is on 9/18 please help 😭🙏🏽 #mutualaid #helpsky #indiedev #disability #cancer

Bottles of surgical prep drink, and right next them, a stoma bag.

The stoma bag is comprised of medical grade plastic with a ring of adhesive on top.

Apparently my choices are either have this attached to my abdomen for the rest of my life, or develop cancer and die.

Needless to say, more devastated and scared than I've ever been.

Welp, main computer is having hardware issues. It’s great I have a spare to use though! I’m just going to be using Linux until I can acquire the parts needed to fix it.

Following the GameMaker Awards 2025 we are delighted to share a GameMaker Steam showcase and sale 🎉 🔗 store.steampowered.com/curator/3304... Thanks for all the support @akuparagames.bsky.social

Promotional banner for “GameMaker Awards 2025.” A blue gradient background features a central pedestal with a stylized geometric trophy icon above the text “GAMEMAKER AWARDS 2025.” Around the sides are colourful cartoon and pixel-art game characters: on the left, a glowing star character, a muscular hero, a purple ninja-like figure, a woman holding a sci-fi gun, and two retro pixel characters; on the right, a duck, a green-haired villain with a sword, two rock musicians with guitars, and a small blue-haired warrior. A caption below reads, “This third-party event is presented by Akupara Games.”

I forgot to mention, but I have an update. The artist saw it, and proceeded to crept around the source code to add themselves as a character in the VN dev demo. They don’t know GameMaker. Such an easy engine, I swear!
