What is it called when your brain is too full at the moment to process anything else? And more importantly, how do you work around it? ... Asking for a friend of course.

I've really been enjoying making stained glass lately as a hobby and I'm even more glad I bought most of what I needed last year. I can't wait to be able to make bugs... 🐛 (The middle one is my own design even 😊) The bat is kglasscreations on Instagram and Facebook.

Well... I'm a game dev so please don't mind if I post a couple bugs. (I'm sorry, I had to.) It's been nice to experiment with a newish media combo, markers and coloured pencil. I'm getting back to my roots of drawing bugs, and it's really helping me a lot.

I'm at the stage of burnout where it's just "reject humanity, draw bug (molt)".

Gonna join the awesomely talented @mechamomo.bsky.social as commentary as she creates a top tier illustration! Join us on the Lady Arcaders 2025 Super Showcase for her art and illustration segment! Twitch.tv/ladyarcaders @ladyarcaders.com

My friend literally just learned cross stitch and yarn making and sent me a care package of a bunch of her first pieces. 😭 She's so damn talented!! She's never met a fiber art she can't master, I swear!

I really wish you could just order replacement lenses from Zenni. I have perfectly good frames that I messed up one lens. 😭 (Note: I would prefer going to the local optometrist but the woman who helped me in the front was very rude about my appearance and preferences last time I went).

You know, it would be real nice for the economy to not be intrinsically tied to an ephemeral list of imaginary numbers... With said numbers guided solely by the whim and whimsy of mostly affluent people gambling? Just like... A thought.

What? No. A clip of Sailor Moon didn't make me cry today. There's no proof.

I'd love to watch Severance but I simply don't have the capacity for serious, somber media that questions the core concept of identity as my entertainment right now. I want a whisper of hopeful resolution. I need to feel like at the end of this all we'll be okay, even if we aren't there yet.

Folks love seeing the goofy indiedev shit that goes wrong.

The consolidation of retail into three megaliths has never been more obvious or apparent to me than trying to find a replacement rack for my new (used) toaster oven. There are really only 3 options and I'm avoiding all three of them.

My seed potato sprouts for my purple potatoes are alien plants and you can't convince me otherwise. #gardening #plantsky

No cheating post the last photo of pet? Sure!

I can tell I'm burnt out because I'm seriously debating taking my friend's offer to build a tiny cabin in the middle of the woods to be a hermit, farm, and hang out by a wood stove doing nice little crafts. It sounds so Zen... But then I remember I'm accident prone and super glue only does so much.

happy GDC week!!! if you see me around, I’ve got some v cool badge ribbons I’m handing out!!

My community garden plot is WAY bigger than I anticipated... I have room for corn, at least 3 kinds of beans/peas, and still have room for squash and melons. I'm gonna grow a summer squash, a hard squash, but I'm debating: Sugar pumpkins, french cantelope, or watermelons??

Last minute promo for my GDC talk, How To Survive Your First Launch: A Community Manager's Guide, tomorrow at 4:40pm. Get your team ready for launch day success and be ready to speak confidently with your community. Hope to see you there! schedule.gdconf.com/session/live...

Friends going to #GDC, you should check out @lynntendowii.bsky.social's talk on Community Management and what to expect when you're launching a game! www.linkedin.com/posts/lynn-r...

Y'all should check out our game of running around in the dark like absolute gremlins. (Also enjoy top tier VO from yours truly 😂)

Launching a game today, but not actually handling any of the storefront, metadata, or publishing tasks is like...

I am simultaneously wondering how the hell it's Tuesday and how the hell it's already March. Time is fake.

I believe Social Media Managers should get a holiday where we all get to go off on socials and post whatever we want, from silly goofy to savage rebuttals.

Yanno, I've found Monster Hunter Games to be terribly inaccessible to newcomers to the franchise. I want to like them but...

Can anyone watching Severance tell me - is a colleague telling you that "You're just like Helly R.," a good thing or a bad thing? 😬 So far I've just gotten "Huh. Yeah. I see it." But no answer. ... Totally asking for a friend, of course. 🫠😅

My clockapp feed is particularly "suburban white housewife" tonight out of nowhere. Excuse you, where is my normal feed?? 😭 Hell, I'd even take the bbno$ cover spam rn... At least it left the cat rescues... I know social media's dead but, man. I dunno. Guess I'm gonna go do a crossword puzzle. 😮‍💨

Hey anyone in Zone 5 usda growing zone, don't forget to start your peppers, tomatoes, herbs and eggplants! (I'm a bit behind but it'll be fine. I'd rather them be small than too leggy and weak).

Just to be clear, my silence on the current world events is not resignation. I'm still trying to protect my community in every way I can - including our safety and mental health. I'm tired, y'all. I'm fighting, but I'm tired. There's work to do, but it's okay to let social media be social too.

One of the hidden challenges of narrative design is the ability to responsibly and respectfully explain modern slang to a room full of people who aren't chronically online, all while somehow not coming off as a weirdo. 😅

Honestly... This captures the feeling I've had better than anything else.

Sometimes it takes trying to unwind from a 12 hour work day to prompt me to actually draw... Meet Rhys, an NPC in my current homebrew. He has 4 horns, dumb little cat ears, talks like a surfer bro, and might be surprisingly good at stabbing giant shadow beasts. My players lovingly hate him.

⭐Your team is your most valuable asset I firmly believe in keeping a team happy and together over multiple games will be successful in the long run.

November was... A lot. It was a lot. Every month since then has been like trying to dig through layers of challenges. Man, I miss my dog so much.

It feels like the games industry is taking notes from the rest of the entertainment industry, but without the support networks/systems in place for workers.

Mudry's cat wants to eat anything green that exists, I need to start my seedlings. Glass display case it is. (I'm going to try to install better lights that a friend gave me, too).

My favourite barista handed me a coffee this morning that came with a warning: "Drink with intent." Giving me a latte so strong I'll be energized to dismantle systems of oppression and crush the patriarchy. Frankly, I think everyone needs that level of support in their lives. ☕ (Alt text incl.)

I need our help from someone really into skincare and moisturizing properly. My lips are dry and cracking but I'm allergic to like every lip balm at the drug store. The only thing I can use is like straight up Vaseline. Please help. I hate being a dehydrated crinkly old walnut.

I interrupt your regularly scheduled scrolling to share this very important picture with you.

A Game About Digging A Hole has one of the single best features I've ever seen. Just a big ol text warning over the garage door that reminds you that you haven't saved in 30 minutes. It's so simple and yet both @nick.mudry.me and I went WOAH!! GOOD GAME DESIGN. 🤣

It's the year to try some herb and vegetable gardening - even if it's in a container! If you need any gardening tips, advice, have any questions, or just want to know more, hit me up! Coming from the horticulture industry - 🌾🌽🌱 Plants are my special interest! 🌱🌽🌾 #victorygardens #letsgrowgamers

For Wednesday, if you have to work, to go to school, or are simply too physically far from the locations - that's totally understandable! But if you want to do anything in solidarity, I've seen some recommend some of what's here.

Just to be able to go to a restaurant without everyone making a fuss and making me choose because they "don't know what I can eat." Or talking over me to tell someone I have an allergy. Just to have affordable food. And no more "I'll take extra gluten huehue" and "extra poison for Heath" jokes.

Happy Friday! Neither tea or coffee, today's drink is a protein drink that tastes oddly like strawberry antibiotics that has taken me multiple attempts to drink. Today's vibe is: breaking out my best 90s boyband outfit. #teawithheath #morningtea

Today's beverage: office coffee after two attempts. Today's vibe: This is light roast? No THIS is light roast 😂 #teawithheath #morningtea

We're working our way through opening lines of communication with everyone in the system. Every person who claims to represent us from federal, to state, to local. We need to reach out to all of them. One step at a time. One call at a time. Do what you can when you can.

Flatmate surprised me as I emerged from the bathroom with today's iced decaf for tea time. Today's beverage: iced decaf Today's vibe: Collectively planning gardening with my neighbors and friends in whatever space we have! #morningtea #teawithheath

Oh dang. Looks like I'm also writing to my senators. www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Whoops wrote and sent a long letter to my representative. Whoops posted a link on how to find your representative. www.house.gov/representati...

Today's beverage is an iced decaf coffee. Today's vibe is rolling out of bed at the last possible moment - but rolling a 17 on my office d20 after being told to roll for my day. #morningtea #teawithheath

I'm gonna start posting my morning coffee and vibe. This morning's vibe: "This weekend was a liminal space." (Today's drink: Hot cocoa with a shot of espresso.)
