I've let finishing a game—no matter how simple—be my permission to devote more resources to game dev. I'm excited because there will be MORE TO COME. This post is to hold myself accountable. 😅

I’m happy to share that Retronoid is available on the App Store! As some of you know, I do a little game dev. One of my goals this year was to have a DONE game. I decided to resurrect a classic arcade clone I worked on over ten years ago, made it better, and it’s now available for iOS devices!

It might be time to begin my Resident Evil journey 🤔

GET IT

Wild how many September birthdays there are amongst my friends here. Anyway, I turn 38 today. 😅🎉

I’ve been trying to spend less time on social media, but I’m still alive.

Who am I to argue with these scientifically valid results. 🤠 uquiz.com/quiz/64v0cF/...

It's my birthday month if you want to give me all of your love and attention

I haven't been on here much lately, but I hope everyone is doing okay!

Are we all going to the Kpop Demon Hunters sing-along next weekend?

I made my 120th PSLF-eligible student loan payment last week. Here's hoping things go smoothly and this burden is lifted. 🤞

I've passed 100 citations on Google Scholar. Not bad for someone who hasn't published in a couple of years. 😅

It’s that time of year where I start thinking about being a sports fan

He's marking the walls that your character can climb

Furthest I've been: North: Helsinki East: Also Helsinki South: Grand Cayman West: San Francisco One day I'll go past Europe and the Caribbean :D

QTP with your very first mobile phone LG VX3200 (~2004). No external display or camera, BUT it was compact and had a color screen!

EEB is a good egg. we love eeb in this house.

Are people being weird online again? 😯

Happy Caturday friends! Beatrix loves you (she may gently bite you though).

Tom Lehrer’s death reminded me that my dad kept a Dr. Demento cassette in his truck. I still vividly remember listening to all of those goofy songs. 😂

I really missed my calling as a cozy game reviewer. You’re telling me the point of this game is to do chores and talk to my neighbors? Gross. 2/10 (decent music)

I know the DMV is universally *the bad place* but why must it be SO BAD? Like, “sorry the machines to print drivers licenses are down” and “sorry, all of our card readers are down” on multiple days bad.

Good morning friends. It’s a busy Sunday for me, but I get to see one of my favorite post-rock bands tonight.

Two episodes in to The Boys, and I can already tell I’ve been sleeping on this.

What perfect album came out when you were 16? (I’m cheating and listing four because there were A LOT of greats that year)

I need to get a cool lock screen

I am on my phone way too much these days. I don’t even do anything.

There’s something about these short games with little to no dialogue. Neva was a fun puzzle platformer that also pulled on my emotions with its gorgeous art, haunting music, and visual storytelling. I loved Gris, so I had high expectations, and I was not disappointed. Amazing game.

Good Monday morning, friends. It's been a tough weekend, but we persevere.

I need the distraction today

Garth is a good one. Be his friend (or else).

The new Petey USA album goes hard.

I don't even know what a modern-day Donkey Kong game looks like, but I sure want to play the new one (I'm easily influenced).

If you see this, quote this post with a video game that transports you back to your childhood! (Also my first DAW)

Oh, you watched The Room? Well, did you play any of The Room games?

Phew. Just rolled credits on Death Stranding. I probably need a break before I start DS2. 😅 Incredible game.

Okay, this was surprisingly good.

I’m going to have to get in on kpop demon hunters

Age verification? I still know my landline phone number, and I used three-way calling growing up.

Age verification? Going to movies was 5 bucks a per person Dollar menu at taco bell and mc Donald's 🤓

I’m one of those weirdos that enjoys frozen yogurt

I need the Clair Obscur soundtrack on vinyl ASAP

The Witcher in Concert has TONS of US dates now! The closest one to me is a four drive away, of course, but still very cool! 😂 www.thewitcher.com/us/en/concert

This is a Macy appreciation post. Not only does she make amazing looking food, she is incredibly kind, intelligent, funny, and talented (with both ART AND MUSIC—I am jealous). She is masterful at building and facilitating community, and has brought together so many friends here.

I hate it when my ears start taking breaths

I don't know how the sharing resources stuff works on death stranding. Am I really the only one getting these roads built?

Ooof. This monday is already mondaying.

I inherited my older brother’s Magic the Gathering cards after he died a few years ago, but I am only now able to go through them. I haven’t played MtG since high school, but it’s been cathartic going through and cataloging them.

Conan O’Brien cameo!

Happy Caturday from Bea!
