Working at Max Inferno Games where I help keep 'A Little to the Left' nice and tidy. Also a struggling gardener in a never-ending battle with grape vines.
I'd been lowering my caffeine intake pretty drastically in recent months, but absentmindedly drank 5 coffees throughout Friday when catching up with different folk. It was an incredibly bizarre, dream-filled, sleep where I woke up alert at 4:30. So, uh, guess it's time to play inFAMOUS on the PS3.
Trying to make me feel bad for wanting to protect what's left of my tomatoes.
This deer (well I assume it's the same one each time) loves to stop in and chill in the yard. I think it's just waiting for my garden to reach it's peak snacking potential before diving in.
"You took Y photo X years ago" can be pretty rough with how much I took pictures of Salty. I miss them so much but seeing these two images side by side did get a good smile out of me.
One special moment for me was getting to connect with @volkertron.bsky.social from @softrains.bsky.social. Not only did I get a print of their incredible event art, but they also took the time to sign my Stonefly artbook and chat about that wonderful game.
I was mystified with this payphone that would apparently let you send emails for only 10 cents a pop. Not only did that feature not work (refused the code the instructions said would trigger it) but it also refused to accept any change to test the less interesting text message service.
@maxdunbar.bsky.social What a treat to have arrive in the mail today! It looks absolutely fantastic!
Foreign Sun is out now! @finalscenedev.bsky.social knocked it out of the park with amount of choice/secrets to find, been amazed watching it all while working on the Switch port! If you do pick it up a review/share would be ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/2387560/ www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/...

I had to say goodbye to my dog Salty last weekend. Feel gutted every time I experience the everyday impulses to take him for a walk or fill up his dish, but so grateful for the time I got to have him for. Miss you so much buddy!
It was an amazing turnout this evening, the best we'd ever had. Thanks so much everyone for coming out!
I loved the paper 'demo' we did for the magazine ad of A Little to the Left.
My dog Salty got a fun little mention in the most recent Max Inferno newsletter about the team expansion + move to a 4 day work week. It's very cute to see folk calling him out!
Really clicking with how everything in Wander Stars looks. That results screen is wonderfully slick.
Last full day in Switzerland! It has been such a wonderful trip and started to send things off in a great way by having my first fondue (very delicious) alongside @hoot.bsky.social!
