Been spending the day working on the nightclub Moonlight Dew for the visual novel. Might add stuff to the walls at a later date, and make an additional map for the toilets and bar. But for now, I want to try to get another map finished today as well. #VNDev #GameDev #RPGBakin #RubyStringWitch

For the last couple of days, I've been working on a proof of concept scene for a visual novel I want to create. Partly to get more used to the workflow of RPG Developer Bakin, and partly so I have something to show friends when they ask about it. #VNDev #GameDev #RPGBakin #RubyStringWitch

Earlier this morning I managed to discover something in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream that I haven't seen anyone else talk about yet. If a Mii has a fight with someone they have a crush on, if they apologize afterwards, then they'll also confess their feelings at the same time.

My greatest achievement so far in Tomodachi Life is Taskmookster. Basically, I made a pet in game called MOOKs (Mobsters of Outrageous Krookedness) and for a while I struggled coming up with a tv show to make, until I decided to make a parody of Taskmaster with the MOOKs. Just, we have Taskmookster.

AITA for not wanting to reply back to this message I got on Tinder? Because honestly, I feel insulted that this person didn't even try to write a good opener. Like even a "Hey, how are you?" would be better than this nothing burger.

Just beaten a pretty fun arcadey game by @axlegear.bsky.social called Rusty Seas. And I got to say, that one Kickstarter backer called RJ must really love kobolds or something. 👀 Totally not me or anything. But in all seriousness, what a great game. Glad I backed it.

SPECIAL GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT It's time for our second guest to rise from their slumber! It's the undefineable @rjhinds.bsky.social! But will R J keep up with the Cobra? Find out THIS THURSDAY at Sheffield's Beaten Track Bar! #CobraQuiz #LiveComedy #Sheffield

[Spoiler for Wicked For Good ending] It's been a few days since I've seen the film. And while I did enjoy it overall, there's one thing about the movie that is still bugging me nearly a week later. And I know it's nitpicky to the fullest but... (1/3)

TONIGHT! Our host @stuartpdunlop.bsky.social (right) is ready to go face to face with three consenting comedians! The #CobraQuiz starts at 8pm! Get to Raccoon Studios before the seats are occupied by foreign objects!

RACCOON STUDIOS' GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT! As the Cobra faces the mighty Raccoon, let's find out who'll be caught in the crossfire! First up, the unensorcellable R.J. Hinds! But will R.J. Hinds' return to the quiz be a shining light? Or the black stripe of a procyonid? Find out THIS THURSDAY! #CobraQuiz

If anyone is in Edinburgh over the next few days, Tom is in Side Quest along with a bunch of other people we have had on the show over the years! If you like DnD or fantasy in general come see! #edfringe

Just done our first of seven shows at Edinburgh Fringe this year. Went super well! 😀 Hopefully the rest goes just as great.

Was showing a friend my favourite Tom Lehrer song yesterday, and I mentioned how he was still alive at the ripe age of 97. Turns out, he passed away yesterday. Shame to lose such an amazing comedic singer, but hey, he did live a long life. Anyway, Poisoning Pigeons In The Park is my favourite song.

28 May 2025

I have a theory that this 'best thing since sliced bread' might never come out. Still, I'm going to keep my eyes on this.

Oh man! Well hopefully tomorrow it will come out then.

Finally!!! Sliced bread is so good, so I can't wait to find out what Sliced Bread Inc will come out with next.

Just learnt that 'Marisa Stole The Precious Thing' (A song I used to listen to a lot in secondary school) was a Marisa x Alice shipping song this whole time. Always presume Marisa stole one of Alice's dolls or something. I don't know why it never occurred to me it was her heart that got stolen.

Suddenly I have the urge to watch this masterpiece again for the 100th time.

Also, I realised it would have been more fitting to release this chapter yesterday during Trans Day of Visibility considering what happens in the second half of this chapter. But I'm sticking to my Tuesday and Friday posting schedule no matter what. (Even though I didn't release a chapter last Fri)

'The gang arrived at the mid checkpoint of their journey, the largest farming fair. For most it's a nice day out. But the two dockworkers are still reflecting on Mombi's tragic history.' Chapter 13 of Valentine In Oz is now out on Wattpad! #wizardofoz #novel #queer www.wattpad.com/story/389785512

[Status of Chapter 13 of Valentine In Oz] I was planning to release it yesterday, but I didn't have enough time to finish editing the final draft of it. And I'm too tired and stressed to finish it today. So sadly, it won't be out until Tuesday.

@honestwilliam.bsky.social, got a shot in the dark question (especially since you're probably too rich and famous to see this post) Do you remember those mario fan games you made when we were kids? Are they archived anywhere, or are they the most lost of lost media?

This episode we're joined by @rjhinds.bsky.social to pitch some Oscar Bait! soundcloud.com/lifesapitchp...

Happy Valentine, everyone! Here's the first chapter of the Oz book I have been working on: wattpad.com/1517908587-valentine-in-oz-chapter-1 And if you want to know more about how I'm releasing the story, then read this blog post.

It's time for one last blog post about the Oz series, and a quick update about my own Oz novel. So, head down to the cave, and let's talk about the queer elements of Oz.

Was surprised a few days ago to learn that a Dynasty Warriors film came out back in 2021, and then was less surprised to find out the reason I didn't know about it was probably due to it being critically panned. Having watched the film today, I just want to say... (1/3)

Finally, I'm back from the dead (Sorry it's been more than a month). Now, instead of talking about my own writing, let's instead waste a whole blog post on talking about an obscure Nintendo DS game and how it has inspired what I'm currently writing.

Just finished watching the third sonic movie and I have got to say one thing. [Mild Spoilers] . . . . . . . . . . . . . I was surprised the film had a higher death count than just one person. Like sure, I knew they would kill Maria, but I didn't think anyone else would die in this film. #Sonic3Movie
