My partner proposed to me with a custom Gameboy game 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

i think american life would improve significantly and quickly if society was more encouraging of people to have Hobbies. the most perfect and serene state of mind that exists is when one is Doing one's Little Things

in 2026 we're making posts indecipherable to people without our special interests

One of the worst things that can happen to you is finding out that the expensive version of something you like (food, clothing, makeup, whatever) IS actually far superior to the cheap version 😞

You should rewatch that thing you like.

2025 is now over, and here are the top rated games of the year according to SteamDB. It's completely crazy to see my tiny silly beetle game there 💚🪲🌻

#indiedev #indiegame

been watching too much dbz i ended up dreaming about being troubled that i couldn't figure out how to fit goku in a new year's eve takeaway container

Hey something that has been helpful for me instead of resolutions

happy new year!! :)

"i was cleaning my room today when i made the realization: i love pompompurin! i have so many purins from over the past few years! but,"

less than half of the purins i have i actually bought for myself. most of them are gifts from loved ones

"and so i feel so grateful. to have friends who care about me enough to know the things i like. and it's not just pompompurin! tamagotchi, cats, aliens, "this is so you"s, "i remembered you"s... like huh?? thank you for thinking of me!! haha"

"so everytime i see a pompompurin, i am reminded that i am loved"

some thoughts while prepping for a move

To everyone who can openly declare that they are transgender,
and to everyone who cannot yet come out to those around them🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

The world has not yet fully seen the dawn, but let’s continue to support one another.
Chiitan is here with everyone’s hearts.
Everyone is beautiful♡

goodbye

We're in this for the long haul. Remembering the good stuff, like hanging out with friends or reading good books or seeing weird cats, is important to help keep your head above water. Celebrate it, even the small stuff. ESPECIALLY the small stuff. There is more than you think. You deserve it.

Approaching 2026 with this energy:

A Highland Song on Steam Moira McKinnon is running away. A wild adventure through the Scottish Highlands, with open platforming and dynamic storytelling, maps and music. From the creators of Heaven's Vault and 80 Days.

8. A Highland Song (store.steampowered.com/app/1240060/...)

more "breath of the wild" than breath of the wild, moira needs to get to the coast in a couple days to learn important facts about her life, which requires running away from home and climbing some mountains. i cried. beautiful game.

: O

Happy if you're celebrating. If you're not, I wish you peace, rest, happiness, creativity, and really good soup and sandwiches. Be kind to yourself, and others, and experience curiosity and surprise and joy and wonder. I'm rooting for you. We can make it, I promise.

Ten thousand fucking percent.

Like, I get it. I get that you're despairing. Shit is rough. But skeeting "we're so fucked" ten times a day accomplishes nothing, alleviates nothing, and contributes to learned helplessness.

In all seriousness, if you feel that welling up? Log off. You need a break.

Be sure to leave a glass of milk and Swiss rolls out for the Judge tonight.

Love has no gender🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
Love is love❤️
love you all🤍

Merry Merry⭐️✨

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at
@dogubomb.bsky.social.

It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

A screenshot of a Slack conversation where John says, "Update to the company handbook" and has a snippet of company terms that include, "Can Dora send me a haunted doll? No." Dora responds with a GIF from Step Brothers that says, "This house is a fucking prison!"

Four year anniversary of the time @john.wonderfulelephant.com and I were working together and he used the company handbook to attack me personally for no reason at all

A screencap of a Delicious in Dungeon manga panel showing Marcille looking at something and smiling politely with wide, blank, intense eyes as if she is at her breaking point

Looking everywhere for something only to finally find it in a bizarre spot and then remembering that you put it there specifically so you would "know where it was"

A black and white photo of Rod Sterling looking at the camera and saying, "Goddamn, you see that shit? That was fucking crazy. Anyway I'm Rod Sterling."

Look you have to understand that sometimes horror is about exploring themes and motifs and commentary and sometimes it's just about this, and both are valid 💖

OHHHH TO BE SEEN IS TO BE LOVED...

A screenshot of a post by a news outlet saying, "A Godzilla super fan from the East Bay was able to live out his birthday fantasy after he was gifted a "Godzilla rage room." It was complete with a mini cardboard replica of Tokyo. His wife posted about the experience on social media, saying it was a "stress outlet" for him after a tough year." It is accompanied by a photo of a person in an inflatable godzilla costume stomping through a cardboard city.

It hurts to see other people living your dream

A post by c.a.t.y.a.y that reads, "I wonder what my art could've been if I didn't quit". Iggy responds, "I wonder what it will be if you start again"

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:
