Have you ever wanted to see or hear someone quite high on painkillers playing the Demon Slayer Theme on guitar at a weird angle from inside a box?

If so, you're quite weird and I like you and here you go. I should stop posting nonsense and go do something.

Not so much a scar as a constant source of pain (still in wheelchair/crutches) but I try to take it in good humour. I draw the line at people asking me if "I'm off to play football"? (I've heard that 3 times in my life and each time it was hilarious.)

Or grapes! I want chocolate grapes! Tomorrow my entire purpose is putting chocolate on various fruits and eating them 😃

What?! Why? No. It's perfect as is.

It seems people don't really understand bingo. That wasn't on my bingo card. Because that's not how bingo works. I think. I've never played it.

I'm fine thanks, how are you? (I have new painkillers so feel weird) I wonder what chocolate and apple would taste like.

You know a film is bad when you get to about half way through it and remember you've seen it before.

I'm watching Fant4stick. Why did no one warn me this was bad?

Hang on, I think everyone did. Including me. I'll find something else to watch:

Oh! Terminator Dark Fate! That should be good.

When you think of a side project:

🎵

What a wicked game to play
It sounds like a blast, NO WAY!
What a wicked thing to do
My schedules full, fuck you.

And I don't wana fall in love...
With you.
But I have no self respect...New Project.

Awful pencil drawing of The Penguins face from the HBO show.

I am away from my computer for a week! You know what that means?! More questionable artwork incoming!

Here is The Penguin I drew from memory. I completely underestimated the complexity of this drawing while simultaneously overestimating my ability to do this drawing. Onwards!

Oh, nothing recent, a few years ago I was in a motorbike accident, a car pulled out and hit my left leg.

Every now and again someone asks me how I hurt my leg, so I explain and they tell me how lucky I was, or it could have been worse 😂

(They are trying to be nice but it's still weird)

That looks wonderful! Very slick.

It's funny how some people react to hearing of an accident:

"You are so lucky that (X) didn't happen"

Well, see now, if I was really "lucky" I'd probably not have been smashed by an angry car.

Just because I was hit by a car then not hit by a truck doesn't mean that I'm lucky.

I spent a not insignificant amount of time today thinking about what Batman's favourite game would be, I think Stardew Valley or Undertale.

I initially thought Return of The Obra Dinn or maybe Devil May Cry but he probably wants a break from mystery and violence. Anyway, as you were 😊

It's definitely depressing. People tell me to "cheer up" often but it's terribly unhelpful advice. Just try and be easy on yourself.

You ok, buddy?

🤣 My brain is struggling to process the image of being localised. Sounds somewhat painful 😂

In your defence, many people struggle to understand me, 😅

I hope you have since recovered 🙂

Trying to describe how anxiety attacks feel:

You're walking down a single path with a clear end point, then the path splits into 2, then 4, then 8. But you can't just walk 1 so suddenly you're on all 8 at once. Each path loses its end point and you're now lost on all of 'em.

#disability #anxiety

Yes, I'm Irish so I'll keep to what I know. I'd be happy to change it if/when I get the opportunity for localisation 🙂

The Last of Us 🙂

If I read this about 4 years ago, it would have saved me a lot of time 🙂

Pro Tip: when making your Indie Game, make it slightly worse than mine so I don't feel bad about myself!

This is the most important rule. Memorize it.

As a wise person once said, probably:

"Play more games you absolute tulip"

Both are fine. (colour is best 😁). (Color makes me emphasize the "or" too much when reading it).

Please do whatever you need to stay as happy and healthy as possible.

Also please know that you are a bright light on this platform and we will all be looking forward to welcoming you back if you decide to leave for a bit.

I'll be around if you need a chat about anything.

Be safe 🌹🌹🌹

Thank you, the extra 1% is appreciated 😁

Thank you, I knew I forgot something 🤣

It's been a while since I was in an arcade, or played a Claw Machine game, but I'm fairly positive the claw is supposed to bounce around, vomit a chain, while a medical team check the pulse of the teddys.

If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

Bug hunting journey:

"This Code is perfect, why isn't it working?!"

*Null reference

"But I've checked all the values! They are all working!"

*Null reference

"My game engine is broken! I hate code! Hang on...I forgot to attach the code to something."

*Fuck Sake

"Coding is great..."

#gamedev

I know it worked! I love my horror games and this hits all the right buttons 😱 I'm looking forward to learning more about Makena.

Were you getting bored of my three trees and the ground plane? No problem as I've finally managed to get Makena's room into the engine.
Hope you like the comfy atmosphere. Surely nothing bad will happen.
Also flowy dithered curtains hello?
