While I was thinking about Heated Rivalry and hockey players and their fancy apartments I was reminded of how when I when I first moved to Toronto some of my friends shared a penthouse in the CityPlace neighbourhood. cont.

I had a pretty bad cold (in addition to Heated Rivalry madness) last week and ended up reading all the Game Changers books while I was recuperating. I decided to write some thoughts about them and rank them here: jenbarb.neocities.org/home/weblog/...

Copied Number Pyle to Neocities since I think Neocities is cooler than Github Pages number-pyle.neocities.org

I caught a cold this week and spent my time recuperating reading through the Game Changers books. So far I've finished Game Changer, Heated Rivalry and The Long Game. My brain is a bit mush now but I'm really enjoying them.

Sketching out a few last remaining pieces for @raccoonstoriches.bsky.social

I finally watched Heated Rivalry! I accidentally skipped episode 3 during my initial watch through and still cried at the end of episode 5.

I went through the exercise of digitizing the notes I wrote about all the media (concerts, books, movies, comics) I consumed this year, and compile everything to a post on my neocities blog for posterity. (warning, spoilers and grammar mistakes galore!) jenbarb.neocities.org/home/weblog/...

I’ve always referred to the hairs that stick out from my ponytails around my face as “mes fouettes”, and I’ve just learned this isn’t a real way of using the word in French. I have no idea if the usage was localized slang to where I grew up or just something the girls in my class would say?

Happy Merry 🎄

I can’t believe labubus are so popular when they don’t even let you access DLC on your Nintendo 3DS

This horse means business. (Check out Raccoons to Riches on Steam!) #indiegames #gaming #cardgames

I wish more bassists/guitarists were left handed so bands would be symmetrical onstage

The Japanese Slipper cocktail really pairs well with green and yellow sweettarts

I decided to write a bunch of words overanalyzing a recent bout of crafting madness and post it on neocities. jenbarb.neocities.org/home/weblog/...

Going to see Generator tonight! Been looking forward to it since the last one in January of 2020, right before Covid lockdown.

Some weirdo customers gettin’ ready to make thanksgiving awkward. #indiegames #cozygames #cardgames

I am still very nerd-sniped by Number Pyle. I've added a few quality of life improvements to the browser app over the past few days. Mainly stuff like storing current game state in local storage, but I also couldn't help but add an option to copy obnoxious emoji-matrixes after the game ends.

As a niche presentation and TWRP enthusiast, I gotta say: Generator is always a great time

My dad allegedly scanned the wrong loyalty card at No Frills and bricked the register. Loblaws needs to sanitize their inputs, lmao

The ingredients to making our indie game 🦝💰🃏🏬 - "what if a raccoon was on that hashtag grindset lmao" - super cute art by @jenbarb.bsky.social - game design and code by @xandor42.bsky.social - industrial amounts of coffee and cheese - lots of flavor text - hubris #indiegames #indiedev

play my Mysterious paper-game NUMBER PYLE that's taken over the hearts of the people. jenna has created a wonderful computer version that may breach the international market. the current high score is '32'. if it's possible to reach a score of '42', well... who knows...

It's safe to say @lintilion.itch.io blew people's minds at @dirty-rectangles.com when they presented their roll and write game "Number Pyle". I decided to turn it into a browser game. Behold: jennabarbara.github.io/number-pyle/

I'm playing a character I've named "Hemlock" in my groups' playthrough of "The Wild Beyond the Witchlight" I'm looking forward to roleplaying either: - rediscovering the joys of fairy culture, or - swearing off fun entirely in favour of logic-based wizard culture

Couldn’t decided what to rent at the video store and ended up with a very silly double feature of Inu-oh and Heavenly Bodies

Making a marketing post on main for #PitchYaGame! Go check out my game! I've been working hard on it, and I think it's pretty fun!

Today felt like a milestone in my endeavour to code more for fun and not just for-profit 👩‍💻

Here, take this:

Got a workflow set up so that I can automatically deploy a frontend-only next.js site to neocities when I commit on github. Looking forward cobbling together a retro, self-indulgent homepage 😎

Thank you Takashi Kokubo for helping me maintain my chill attitude

There’s a goth couple that goes to my gym and it’s been so cool seeing goth activewear in real life

Happy to announce that Raccoons to Riches is part of the #SteamShopkeepers event on Steam! Go check out the game and demo, as well as a bunch of other sweet shopkeeping sims! Demo here -> s.team/a/3778620 #indiegames #steam

I tuned in for the last half hour of the baseball game. Very thankful to not be a sports fan because that stuff is stressful. Jeeze

I was thinking about what makes good web design and I remembered the Japanese 2002 Pokémon movie tie-in website This was a peak website

No shade to the artists, but it makes me a bit sad that modern romance book covers tend to be two minimally shaded, simplified characters looking at each other instead of a fully rendered oil painting of two people caressing while wearing layers of billowing fabrics.

Hello everyone! Been busy lately with some personal stuff, (travel, travel recovery, etc.), but we're still kickin'! We're currently working on preparing the game for localisation and upgrading to the latest Godot version. Gonna be a bit till then, so here's the shopkeeper doing a bit of gaming!

Adapt, overcome, use a dolsot as a French onion soup bowl

Met a guy at a wedding who used to be can-mates with Toby Fox, I am truly out there making connections.

Just finished reading “Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea”. It was really cozy, with just enough action to keep it interesting.

Looking for a demo to try out during #NextFest? Try out Raccoons to Riches - A shopkeeping sim mashed up with roguelike deckbuilding mechanics. Also, there's cute critter art. store.steampowered.com/app/3778620/... #cardgame #roguelike

Happy Thanksgiving Here’s a pie featuring the shape of a Medjed cookie cutter I bought on a whim

Do any novelists use version control systems like git when they’re writing? I think it would come in handy

I went through with stickers! Say hi if you want one at the show, this will be my outfit

TWRP show tomorrow! Very excited to fangirl out! Is anybody who is going planning to bring stickers? I'm thinking on making some home printings of this guy to have something to trade in the pit

The made-to-measure slip dress pattern I designed and coded is up on this unofficial #freesewing preview site I would love for folks to take a look and give it a try! 🤗 #FreeSewingSophie fs-preview.sinerva.eu/designs/soph...

Gonna try to submit a design to the #freesewing website soon! Made some how-to images to add to the instructions today!
