After doing a normal day working remotely from home, I *almost* had the energy to take an ABCD train to Helsinki and back, just to see some #GameDev peeps over at #IGDAFinland after a while and enjoy some freebie porridge and glogg paid by #Supercell. Then I took the walk to daycare and back, and there's absolutely no fracking way I'm boarding that train. How are you holding up with the darkening solstice and everything? I just want to sleep until February.
