I cannot be sure but I believe I've finally been blessed by silver strands in my hair. I hope they're not just the result of the Sun. They appear to be most prominent at my left temple so there is hope. ✨✨

Also found an orange milkcap! But just one. People keep saying it's a good year for mushrooms but I haven't found any evidence for it.

The bad news is that we've now found three Spanish slugs in our garden which is worrying. There may be more. I'm going to wait a while and then report it to the Environmental Board later.

The sunflowers I planted still haven't bloomed but they may yet.

Mugwort right next to the greenhouse needs some serious curbing but as I can still forage it until November, I'll see when I take up that particular task.

Although few, zucchini are large. We got some green beans as well.

I'm looking forward to autumn, there's hope we might get quite large batches of apple juice, which means I won't have to make more kvass every few days.

Some blueberries this year. Most berries in our yard don't look too good and unfortunately for me there's only strawberry jam.

Tomatoes and cucumbers are doing well as always.

It is an interesting year so far. My sage is looking good as always, though there are quite a few snails. I've had to weed out the nettle a few times but not too often.

I was late with coriander and motherwort so they're only just beginning to take shape.

I just got mauled by a very rude bug and can't feel half the area around my mouth. Bro must have a vendetta against plum trees or something.

Sometimes I just want to go back to 2015 and have a tablet with a singular cord that takes up a third of the space of my Cintiq and works on my fancy large monitor, but no. Fuck you if you buy two of their products over the years. Have fun installing/uninstalling drivers, loser.

TOIL - Postmortem The jam TOIL was designed specifically for the Only One of Any Asset visual novel game jam ( https://itch.io/jam/o2a2-2025 ). We knew we wanted to do this jam for a while, with Lynn having worked on a...

I finally published our postmortem on TOIL! borderbreakers.itch.io/toil/devlog/...

There's a spooky VN project I'm hopefully making a few backgrounds to in September. Perennial Print will continue soon enough, I just need a bit of a breather. I've also been contacted about a discontinued fandom event which I might be taking over, so it's all very exciting!

#wipwednesday, I guess. Working on a few Autumn/Halloween themed sticker sheets. As you can see, it's the early stages — the very early stages.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

I'm also taking a short break in August to get some stuff in order but we'll be resuming with uploads shortly! 🌱🌱

YouTube video by Saint Coelacanth Purgatory's Wail

Incoming bonus track! Purgatory's Wail was a practice song I composed a few months prior to the O2A2 Game Jam. The team liked it, so it's been included in the game post-jam! youtu.be/LjUY585eqg0

I will never tire of Withnail and I references. Don't even try to save me.

Early birthday mojito at the countryside (with our own mint!). Look at me, I'll be 30 on Monday and I've got a sole flapping off my shoe! 🍹🍹

I've spent the entire day doing fuck all and it's WEIRD. Obsessively keeping my sketchbook by me in hopes I'll come up with one cool design at least. #wevegoneonholidaybymistake

Wonder, when will payment processors finally block museum ticket sales for obscenic classic art exhibitions. Also Sistine Chapel seems like a thing they should block, it's terrifyingly unaccaptable.

This isn't just affecting games hosted on itchio...

Comics, books, zones, etc with these tags are also no longer searchable. This is going to impact indie scenes across the board if not challenged!

I've finished 3.5 comic pages today, drawn a silly little doodle of August with a birds nest on his head and then got so frustrated with sand I decided to start a miscellaneous atmospheric painting just to relax.

Seriously, guys. How the fuck do you draw sand?! In ink!
