There are more books to read and movies to watch and albums to listen to and games to play and and and, than I will ever have time to and I refuse to spend the time I have on this planet with the work of shitheads. 020

jenn martin is not trying so hard @tenpenjenn.com · 01/09/2026It's hard to sell back catalog games- gamers are often focused on recent releases and whatever is next. Making new content for old games can work, but it's a lot more work than just hosting an itch bundle or reminding people the game exists in a newsletter. 3/3 110
jenn martin is not trying so hard @tenpenjenn.com · 01/09/2026(*measuring success in sales, since back catalog games aren't eligible for awards. You could say buzz or hype or itch reviews/comments, but unless you get featured by a popular outlet, it's tough to measure) But returning to an old game with all of the things I've learned since might be fun! 2/3 110
jenn martin is not trying so hard @tenpenjenn.com · 01/09/2026I think it depends on what you want and how you define payoff! I am more interested in working on new projects, so the idea of revisiting work from years ago feels like a boring slog, and I might resent putting time into it if it didn't succeed*. 1/3 110

jenn martin is not trying so hard @tenpenjenn.com · 25/08/2026I do think I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is a very good game! Also while playing it I had a very painful emotional flashback & dissociated super hard for days after. I'm very aware it's meant to be played multiple times & playing again might improve my feelings around it but I simply will not. 040
jenn martin is not trying so hard @tenpenjenn.com · 25/08/2026Very much this- I thought letting my kiddo fail was abandoning him, because my big emotions after failing meant disconnection from my parent. But actually, I can let my kiddo fail and be right there with the emotional equivalent of a soft mat, so he's not failing all by himself. 040
