M at Foxen Makes Games

I’m trans, queer, AuDHD and a Canadian immigrant waiting for a green card in the US (because current job) - if I want horror all I need to do is stick my head outside of the duvet cover.

Lately I’m definitely Team Let’s Go Back To Bed Cause Moral Is Not Improving.

The real answer is always money: where can they save and where can they charge us more.

Awkward to hold, as evidenced by the photo.

Why do you think they did? My husband is reading a novel as we speak while he drives to work. He also reads in E at night, he finishes about a novel a week. He just doesn’t often read paper and never reads in public like this.

How reality doesn’t have horrors enough for ALL of us is a bafflement to me…

Do iiitttt

We all saw Totoro and have been longing for that giant plush belly to nap on ever since.

40+ years of ADHD - one good life lesson ;)

I don’t, if I force myself to stay the thing will become shitty.

Instead I let myself swing and trust that the swing is part of the process that fills my well and keeps the work fresh and flowing.

Aka Write some fantasy so you CAN finish the story and both pieces will rock.

In case you were looking for a manga about a bunch of Himbos, this is that manga.

Who knew.

Just finished The (Pet) Detective Agency and I’m so glad I took a chance on it.

What are your best “off the beaten trail” manga? I don’t read horror or dark stuff, but I’d love to add your lesser known recs to my reading list.

My husband just called to remind me to eat lunch.

The audacity.

Yes. I do happen to have ADHD and yes, I maayyybe, might be prone to forget to eat.

But still. How dare.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

I’m picturing Eeyore with Wolverine’s retractable claws.

You are absolutely not. Currently pondering the Audre Lorde wisdom that Self-Preservation is an act of political warfare.

If they want us hopeless and drowning then we need to fight back with rest, care, art and joy (amongst the other activism we can offer).

I am clearly behind/missing something but would love to be linked up cause this sounds like an opinion I definitely have.

Lap Buddy (name: Prince Fluffy Butt aka Floofs) and Desk Buddy (name: Belle).

Show me your buddies.

Woke up in the throes of a migraine, so naturally my brain is like:

“You know that game design we’re working on, I was thinking…”

Brain, how are you thinking anything, we are in agony. And why weren’t you thinking anything yesterday when I *wanted* to function.

Fucking brain.

How will you know you have enough if you don’t buy those ones and try them?

On the one hand, I never like the noodles in cup noodles (though instant ramens are my comfort food).

On the other, it’s Hello Kitty!

Naturally I bought it.

Kiki is my go to comfort watch so I’ll probably have to go with that.

Working on my first miniature project (rough sketch of final plan in second photo) building a tiny interior in this light up coffin I got.

Pondering all the RPG things I could do with miniature making skills. Can I illustrate a whole game with these?

Also, why is my art making game so ambitious?

I originally wanted to call my bakery The Frilled Apron, but Jeff said that makes him think of lizards so here’s my current name choice.

Yes. I AM a werewolf baker who specializes in croissants, thank you for asking.

Playing @thornandkey.com magical bakery game cause it felt very holiday

I mean clearly they can, we just won’t keep buying it.

You’ll thank me later.

Thanks. I was thinking about how animators sometimes do this, and how you would be able to stand back and see the trip and that might draw you in… btw I also got your Strange Beast Deck and I’m in love with that. Love your shit!! More please.

Might as well go pee while you are already up.

Playing @shing.bsky.social A Mending - with buttons I made myself - I’ve decided to stitch colour into the map where I’ve walked so the map *comes to life* along my path but stays a flat map elsewhere.

Shown: Home button, meandering path, river, blocked square, meadow of flowers

Can we send them back where they came from?
