I think of an old Mormon hymn. I'm not Mormon now, but this hymn easily captures the philosophy of reciprocity - at times, I can give, and at others, I am thankful to receive. I've been through both. Luckily a few good crumbs from my old life.

had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed

Watched Project Hail Mary, and... yep, not spoiling it. Watch it. Movie is amazing.

Ooh, new brand of nightmare dropped. Dreamed I was assaulted and had to act like everything was normal during a family event, and as I worked back from dissociation, I slowly began to believe that I had made things up; it was the only way to return to normalcy.

And as a side tangent, and because I got directly name dropped in a match: youtu.be/ckQarQWiv9Y @brossentia.bsky.social

It's that time again. Sorry this one might be a little long, match commentary had a talk about video game preservation, and I agree it is important. youtu.be/3bris-nh8DU @brossentia.bsky.social

I love that this juxtaposition with @brossentia.bsky.social’s post appeared on my timeline

Dreamed I could fly if the wind were just right, and I ended up destroying a power line on accident. Later did an improv scene about how the power went out, and NO ONE KNEW IT WAS ME

His name is Jimothy

New cryptid

i love jimothy

I've had a decent break from NES development - I tend to work best in bursts, and the downtime helps me get regrounded. Next two-week dev push gets started on Monday because we're showcasing Wild n' Wolfy at @anthroweekendutah.org!

Got a key for this before release, and Y'ALL, the game is super legit. Train roguelites are always GOATed, it seems

My husband @manguitopandito.bsky.social looked over at me while I played a fighting game last night. "I look like someone in a movie playing a game, don't I?" I said. "I was just about to say that."

Decided I have to try out Funnel Runners, and YEAH, I HAVE A FEAR OF LIGHTNING BIG TIME OMG

Why does this John Lennon album cover make him look like a tech bro

due to popular demand... gug machine #gamedev

Same with art and emotes for video game streams. Commission some artists, yo!

Luckily, the director is looking into this and saying this shouldn't be happening. It's sloppy from A24, but it's a good sign when someone that high up is getting involved this quickly.

Well, shit. Don't know if I'll have healthcare if they enforce this rule, and I'm especially unsure about my husband - I got it through disability, and he got it through the expansion program. I'm at the point where I don't care if people pay their medical bills. Just worry about living first.

it's been brought to my attention that some of you aren't familiar with the water slide that fixes your lower back posture

Look, I'm just gonna run Journey to the Center of the Earth DOS allowing cycle speed changes during the run. We normally run the game at 2500 cycles/ms, but for the volcano escape at the end, if you want to match the Amiga speed, you have to lower it to about 200 cycles...

Kusogrande was fun! If people noticed my speech being particularly bad today, I can feel myself moving towards an autistic shutdown - not something I can totally prevent, but now that the stream's done, I can do some stuff to make it more manageable. Silly bwains

Started up Journey to the Center of the Earth DOS, and my god... why did I say I was gonna run this?

Now that SGDQ is over, polite reminder that submissions for BBG are open until July 31. If you enjoyed silly block, ready yourself for an entire weekend of silly, janky, and weird stuff! Silly block was so good~ uwu;

game is so fun

Lesser Tom from Taskmaster Australia proves otherwise www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ycf...

Every day bluesky emits a new Most Bluesky Sentence

Dreamed that I turned students into cute little bluebirds to lead them to a classroom for essay workshopping, but some got lost, others got distracted due to random parrots, and a cat attacked one group. That cat was NAUGHTY.

I'm not sure why (probably autism), but washing dishes is one of the hardest things in the world for me. Best case scenario, I'll be on the verge of tears and deeply shaken the rest of the day. Otherwise, it usually hits my gag reflex, and I just genuinely cannot physically wash them.

You know, with the 15-year speedrunning anniversary, I could potentially do a run of every game I've run in, like, August. They'd be SUPER rusty, but I don't care!

I'm gonna take these Meccha Chameleon hiding slots as solid wins today

A little ironic, but this past SGDQ marks my 15-year anniversary of my start in speedrunning. I reckon I'll really celebrate all that with @bigbadgameathon.bsky.social!

most Disney songs could be vastly improved with the addition of airhorns 📣📣📣

I love telling stories of when I almost died then realizing I forgot about the extreme ear infection, the time I thought I had a heart attack, the multiple shocks from electrical outlets/appliances. I feel like we were just more exposed to deadly situations in the 80s and 90s in rural Utah.

alright. good talk

Some "Wild" and "Wolfy" things happening in Kusogrande this weekend. Won't spoil match 4 but that one might be worth watching to the end of the VOD youtu.be/RO47VFi1h-g @brossentia.bsky.social

My only comment: they thoroughly vet everyone who is on the stream. They'll check your social media, any drama that happened, any past they can find. If they do that for streamers, they should do that for sponsors. Good they changed course on this, but it's sloppy.

With a loop of that game being only six minutes I did not think I was in a good position to win lol. Oink. Just oink.

Schadenfreude

My husband showed me this song today, and it's my jam. It's a song imitating how English sounds to non-English speakers www.youtube.com/watch?v=RObu...

Definitely a bit under the weather this morning. Probably just a cold or something - not enough to be serious, but it's annoying.
