My prediction for the Indie World showcase tomorrow is it’s going to be one game and it’ll be Haunted Chocolatier and it’ll be out at the end of the stream

Please do give this a share. I'm rather proud of my photography, and it would be absolutely lovely to get this in front of more people/make more sales. I don't actually advertise this anywhere - and really should! - so word of mouth is vital! Any shares really, genuinely appreciated <3

Ooh! I spent some of the weekend driving myself mad making my photography site look much nicer! I take and sell photos! I think they're great! I've sold them across the world! If YOU would like to own some fine art photography from an #autistic #adhd photographer, you can! hyperfocus.photography

Main feature is essentially a puff piece for a device that is basically a glorified A500 Mini with a built in keyboard, but it’s nice more people have a way to get into the Amiga

Bought my first 8 Bit Tho controller so I’ve got an X-input device for my PC and Evercade ahead of the Banjo cart release next week. I can instantly feel why these are so popular

Also previous years games have been split into contest and expo entries for people that just wanna showcase their stuff but not be judged as contest entries, but not this year! So that means everything is being judged in contest! Even the AI slop entry! Why!!!???

Now I don’t know if this is The Move or not, but I’m trying to find a solution for my YGO decks. I like to keep the cards with their original boxes, but they’re often just rattling around in those boxes and slowly warping. So I’ve got this generic deck boxes and I’m putting the cards in those

My thinking is I can keep the original boxes in storage but still have more easy access to the cards. Not sure if I’m actually doing anything useful or just making more work for myself though. At the moment it just feels like I’m taking cards from one box and putting them in another 🤷‍♂️

The logic I’m going with is these blank boxes are a little roomier which means I can sleeve the rares, while there’s no room in the original boxes so you can’t sleeve the rares and stop them warping. Does that make sense or am I being crazy?

I think it’s worth saying that experiencing art that isn’t 10/10 GOAT material is also really worthwhile. You shouldn’t feel like time with mediocre/bad art is wasted time. Most art isn’t brilliant, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find something interesting/resonant in those mid hills

Press email about a new Mega Drive game on Tuesday. It’s made with “AI assistance”. 2 days later the same guy has emailed me about another Mega Drive game he’s made. It’s a different game as well. Guess what? “AI assistance”. Yeah no shit considering the speed you’ve churned that out
