Fridays mean One Hour Game Music! Been a while since we had an entry from the C&C series, so hereโ€™s Tiberian Sun. Itโ€™s the third release chronologically but a direct sequel to the first game, as Red Alert follows its own timeline. Confusing? Maybe, but still an engaging RTS! youtu.be/woj9jaFealY

Them: Recently, I was inspired to put my phone down and do an activity that isn't revolutionary in any way and has existed for decades, but look how humble I am doing it... Also them: *proceeds to record blog with their phone over several days to document how great they think they are for doing it*

Utter performative bullshit. If doing the thing means seeking the praise and validation of others - by which I mean comments and likes from strangers that help feed your public image - then that's not "being inspired". That's marketing. If it really meant something to you then you'd just do it.

Hnnnngh, fiiiiiiiine. The Dub Club have spoken, and apparently they want to see me suffer for this episode of Game Or Pass, so it looks like I'm playing Escape The Backrooms. I do not play horror games. This should be... fun isn't the word I want. Interesting? Different? 8PM, twitch.tv/jdubdotexe

Fridays mean One Hour Game Music! Is NiGHTS Into Dreams a Sonic title? Who can be certain, but itโ€™s certainly in an adjacent universe. It has completely different gameplay mechanics though, flying through your dreams to try and stop the evil Wizeman The Wicked! youtu.be/xW075rldRN0

just released a post-jam version of midas crutch, now with puzzles i had to cut from the original game due to time constraints. it's still a pretty short game, though! there are 7 idols to collect total. hope you guys enjoy it! mors-games.itch.io/midas-crutch

Ah yes, Bonfire Night, the one time of the year when everyone lets off fireworks across the city. The same night every year... Let me just check the calendar... Of course, October 10th. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I have a time-based problem that has plagued me for a while and that is not knowing what to do with all of it. As a part-timer I currently have the luxury of four-day weekends, however by the third day I often find myself bored and lost. I *could* work an extra day instead but I'd hate doing that.

All of the points above are in constant competition with each other, with the order of priority also reorganising itself at will. Any one of them could become the absolute focus of my being at any time. I don't have any control over that, or at least I often feel like I don't. Existence is hard.

I should also point out at this juncture that my dilemma is entirely rhetorical. I'm not looking for suggestions or solutions, especially given that I know my brain will automatically reject anything that's put in front of me. That is an entirely different problem that I don't have time to unpack.

So the question is how do I fill that time up without: a) burning myself out on doing extra things b) ruining my hobbies by concentrating on them too much c) feeling "guilty" for wasting my own time d) losing that option to take time for myself instead of "doing" e) spending more money than I have?

Fridays mean One Hour Game Music! Deadly traps, cute but dangerouns enemies, plenty of coins to collect, and the protagonistโ€ฆ is a pea?! Harking back to classic pixel platformers right down to its minimalist green palette, this is Straw Fields from Awesome Pea. youtu.be/AhIlbOoNoeM

Streaming three nights in a row? Who even is this guy?! But the end of Final Fantasy VII is so tantalisingly near, and all we have to do now i-- oh hey, side quests! Live from 8PM, twitch.tv/jdubdotexe (Yes, I know I'm competing with the ENG vs. CZE match)
