Today was not the day?

Is that a recommendation? I *will* listen to you!

It depends, New Leaf is much more of a "complete" game, lots of things to do. Wild World strips Animal Crossing down to the essentials: Strong villager conversations with a good amount of bite and YOU (the player) being a rando loafing about. The top screen ONLY shows the sky, saying: Lol why not???

It is fatally cool, pushing nearly everyone away

This song has been flooring me again and again over the years

Meet Dr. Dad! I'll now retreat to my game making cave and only come out in November

There's someone sitting in that bus!! They're the least social social workers and they're coming for YOU

What a baby, what‘s their name?

Graceless mug arrived, now Ratbert will always cheer me up at work

Working with video is a little bit like improv: There's this innocuous road sign right at the start, with arrows and some blob, and while this is not a radical reframing, I can use it to introduce one of the game's key items (the mystery egg) without changing anything in the video itself

Anyway, the location of the 11 minute main looping video (it really does loop seamlessly) Low Beam is built around is only 40 kilometers away from there, and you'll get to "explore" some cool locations like a tavern infested by Nazis...
Well, there will be Nazis, since they're everywhere in Saxony.

The shitty lil village I used to live in had two bus stops: One was remote and far away from my house, the other much closer, but in a different fare zone my travel card didn't cover, and spotting the blood thirsty ticket inspectors keen on catching lazy kids was an important daily routine

Hanging out at bus stops

With the album done, and after a month at the (good) new job, I can get back to... other things, like jigsaw puzzling, going to the dog beach (don't have a dog, but that beach usually has more dogs than people and I like that), and also some game making soon! LOW BEAM LULLABIES! That driving game!!!

My slice of life flight game BEAUTYCOPTER is now free on Steam:

eReader devices and a paperback book showing the cover of More Bugs, a cool and creepy illustration of a person pulling away the side of their face to show a large beetle crawling out. Has a quote from David Lewis, writing in Strange Horizons' 2024 in review: "a psychologically rich love story with subcutaneous insectoids who are all at once unsettling and touchingly romantic." and a blurb from Eve Harms, author of Transmuted: "An insightful and thought-provoking portrait of suburban alienation and longing with a delightful dash of body horror. Through engrossing prose, Reed stealthily weaves the impossible and everyday to reveal the suffocating dread of our personal histories."

Feeling at an apex of confidence in my writing... My novel is interesting and good and more people should read it, especially if you like slightly gruesome shapeshifers, or if you feel like we're trapped in an eternal 2004

I even made a cool website for it: emreed.net/more_bugs

Ohh, did also come by the bird watching place in Wedeler Marsch?

The retraining I'm considering goes in the direction of healthcare management, where you become the acting link between patients and medical providers. Classic office job mostly done by women, but with regular customer / patient contact... Would guarantee me some job safety and regular work hours

Thank you for trying to help me out yesterday. I'm positive that in a couple of months I'll look back and think "I was dead lucky to escape retail".

Might have to face retraining. I dread the thought of two years of school. Nobody can force me to, but my last degree is 15 years old and worth shit.

May 2025 was a bleak month were I suddenly found myself without a job and steady income, if you can spare a dollar or whatever I might be able to sleep better. I have a couple of games up on Itch: gracelessgames.itch.io/funnywalk

I wanted out anyway, but the eject came unexpected. Will be back as your Patreon member as soon as things get better.

Lucky charm that was actually made in Italy. Maybe one day some millionaire wants the original DD car and will make me rich. Could certainly do with the money at the moment, sad haha.

Oh, you have one of those! Mine (fresh off eBay) basically died within days due to a broken USB cable

The outer wheel is cool, works like an analogue trigger, but purposefully "holding" smaller values (the smallest dotted ring in the video) is easier than on a gamepad... Jogwheel's fun, too, but that one doesn't really translate well to video, the way it's both fluid AND has steps
