I thought I'd try a new year's resolution for once: avoid refined sugar in January. So obviously when January 2nd rolled around my body decided to reject anything but pretzels and soft drinks for 5 days straight.

Bedtime conversation with my 4 year old in the complete dark. 4: where is Papa's spot? me: which spot do you mean? 4: Papa's spot. Where is it? me: I don't know what spot you're talking about. 4: Papa's spot. ... me: over there. 4: there? me: yep. 4: *satisfied noises*

Whenever it's quiet in the house we know the baby probably found paper tissues and is feasting on them. For my 3 year old this used to be bebe Zartcreme. I wonder if that tells us something about their personalities.

My 3yo randomly told my partner they love them. So I cheekily asked if they love anyone else. 3yo: Grandma! Me: And? 3yo: Grandpa! Me: And? 3yo: [the baby] Me: Anyone else? 3yo: No. 💀

I just got my toddler to eat by feeding them soup with a fork.

Woken up at 4:24 by a random music mobile jumpscare, my cheek finally being released from the baby's grip of death at 5:24, just in time for everyone to be woken up again by the sound of running toddler feet in the hallway at 5:27. What a fun way to start the day!

Some fucked up things a healthcare professional said to me. "Everyone has shortcomings, you just have a few more." "That's how life works, you need to learn to live with it." "You're not [redacted slur], that's just your personality." "You seem okay to me. Keep taking these meds and you'll be fine."

Fucking wasps! All summer long we had wasps in our house. We even found them in our beds. Then they were finally gone once October rolled around. Since yesterday evening we had 2 live ones and 4 dead ones again! It's fucking November! Fucking wasps!

Mein dreijähriges Kind zum Baby: "Kannst du mich streicheln, sonst gibt's Angst." 👀

My nightmare brain came up with a plague caused by artificial flying ticks. If anyone needs horror script ideas, hit me up.

My partner isn't home tonight so I have to do bedtime with a baby and a toddler alone. BUT Wilmot Works It Out is out in a little bit so I get the best reward! brb, gotta charge the Steam Deck

I backed a comic on Kickstarter. When the package arrived it was sealed with a sticker, claiming that "some items were not produced according to European labour laws". Only a single item was missing - a NSFW novel. CUSTOMS STOLE MY SMUT!!

Trust me. You want to work with Ben. He's got a super broad range of skills, is such a blast to work and chat with, and sends the best cake and plant pictures.

Game developers, it's rough out there with so many layoffs. I created a starter pack for folks looking for work. Comment if you want to be added/removed. Let's boost each other and get these people hired!! 💪 #gamedev #indiedev go.bsky.app/2gdae71

I'm neither a morning person nor a night person. I'm a meal time person.

My toddler is a Scorpio... pls help

For the first time we found acorns in the toddlers backpack and pebbles in their dungarees. It feels like they unlocked a new stage of childhood.

My Mum kept the hair from my very first haircut, which I always found extremely weird. Well I just cut my toddler's hair for the first time and I finally get it. What a wild and sentimental feeling.

Conversation with my toddler who's simply too cool for me "Don't want to wear trousers" "But what else are you going to wear?" "Dungarees!😁👍"

The last few weeks were honestly devastating. My heart is breaking over and over again thinking about all the great things we've achieved together and what we still had up our sleeve's.

Me: I'll take a long walk every day from now on and mostly snack fruits and nuts The main character in my favourite comic: I made you hot chocolate with cloud shaped marshmallows

Saltsea Chronicles: It begins with a kidnapped captain. Where it leads next? That’s up to you… gutefabrik.itch.io/saltsea-chro... by @gutefabrik.bsky.social

My toddler can't distinguish between Mickey Mouse and Saint Nikolaus and I kinda love it.

I'd love if you could all please nominate Saltsea Chronicles for Steam Awards for Outstanding Story-Rich Game 💛

I will probably never live alone in a tiny flat in a city again and that makes me kind of sad.

The toddler asked their first "why" question and I don't feel prepared for the next 5 years.

Today marks the first time I hung up on someone doing a phone survey. Why do I feel so bad about it?

I used to love the day the clocks move back. I could sleep in and still have a lot of the day left. Fast forward to being parent of a 2-year-old... At 5pm I thought to myself "dear god, how are there still more than 3 hours left of today"

I dreamed about having to move out of my old apartment again, and I can tell you, I never want to move again.

SALTSEA CHRONICLES needs just 14 more Steam reviews to qualify for ‘very positive’ (they’re 100% positive, you just have to get above a certain number to be ‘very’) so if you have enjoyed the game and have the time to leave even a short review we’d love that 💙

🎉 Check it out! We’re doing a special discounted MUTAZIONE & SALTSEA CHRONICLES Steam bundle to celebrate the launch of our new game! 💚🩵 They share a lot of values & storytelling ethos, & we think they make a perfect pairing. store.steampowered.com/bundle/35674/

I know for birthing partners it's the hormones and all, but how do non-birthing partners manage to not see their new-born as a tiny wrinkly old man?

🌍 We're proud to share one of the 1st reports on the climate impact of an indie game. ✏️ By Dr B. Abraham, the author of Digital Games After Climate Change. 🌊 It's urgent we all reduce our impact, this is our way of trying to kickstart that conversation. www.saltseachronicles.com/climateimpact

Saltsea Chronicles is out. I played it, once again, over the past few days, just to make sure all is good for launch. And this is an actual game. And it's really good. You should play it!

Saltsea Chronicles is out tomorrow and I still can't believe what a chill launch period this was. I really appreciate how @gutefabrik.bsky.social handles... [insert elaborate list of very eloquently laid out points]

🌊 hey hello I'm real pleased to reveal my upcoming soundtrack for @gutefabrik.bsky.social’s next game, Saltsea Chronicles! releasing in full with the game next week on 12th Oct. in the meantime you can pre-order it on bandcamp now! w/album art by Nils Deneken 🌊 pre-order: bit.ly/SaltseaOST

I got myself a walking pad so I don't only sit around while working. I really don't understand how parents with full-time remote desk jobs get over 10k steps a day when a full hour on the walking pad barely got me half way there

I don't really know if cross platform promotion is something we do here, but let's try: The brilliant @zerofiftyone.bsky.social cut my "day in the life of a gamedev" video in such a lovely way, you should definitely check it out! www.tiktok.com/@gutefabrik/...

I got myself a fancy new webcam with a ring light and I get a headache every single time I turn it on... what a great investment 🙃

I just scrolled the discover page and I think I know how this works... Time to get a pet I can post pictures of, I guess?

I started getting a lot of ads of e.g. socks or any other clothing item with a BIG label saying "SOLD OUT" and I really don't understand that advertisement strategy. How am I supposed to buy your stuff when you don't have any?
