My 2025.

Coconut is 10 🥹 she was in rescue for a year before we adopted her. We’re so lucky we got her! We asked them for their laziest most social cat and they fully delivered. P.S. Please Wishlist Bravest Coconut for her bday 😸🥥💕 store.steampowered.com/app/2913190/...

Once again.

Bravest Coconut is in the @frostygamesfest.com Steam Showcase and, to celebrate the occasion, I've updated the demo with a new puzzle that changes the ending... Play the demo: s.team/a/2913190 #IndieGames #CozyGames #ThinkyGames #Godot #PixelArt

After 6 days in hospital, I finally got to come home! @nathanhoad.net has been taking excellent care of me as he always does (I’ve been unwell for a long time). 💗 & very thankful to the amazing surgeons, hospital teams, fam & friends for everything. 💗😭

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
