My unique floor chicken Xmas baubles continue to spark joy 🤩

yikes the double eyelid thing 😦

Helen wearing a dark green swaeatshirt. It has a logo for the magazine Hellebore, and a woodcut image in gold, featuring the god Pan plus Mole and Ratty, characters from The Wind in the Willows.

W Graham Robertson's 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' illustration apparently got a visitor kicked out of Westminster Abbey because Pan was looking a bit too satanic.

Anyhow, that lore led to me buying this sweatshirt 😄 Perhaps I should wear it to all ecclesiastical buildings going forward...

that's so nice to hear, thank you!

ah yes, that old conundrum of whether to treat the literal human being who exists in front of you for a current issue, or an imaginary one...🤦

Brief window into selling decade-old games on Steam: my sales flatlined from 2022 to 2024, but have recovered in 2025, seemingly because of being on Bluesky. The increased attention here has drawn the notice of streamers who played Sir and so on, leading to wishlists and sales. Odd business.

I completed the game + it was fantastic! Will drop a review.

Some people just love to hate things 🙄I loved it 😍 (I've played tonnes of Stardew Valley & Factorio and this game is their lovechild 💞 - so good!)

Valve mods : your audience is international + multi-faith. Do better 🙏

That would have been brutal 🐔

I played SO much Chuckie Egg, I beat the game and then it started new game + mode with 2 giant chickens, then 3...

Recalling how difficult some of the levels were, I must have sunk 100s of hours into it 🐣

Undertow
