Typically SFW. That is to say, no I will not post porn here. Links to porn, yes. Porn itself, no.

guess who finally cleaned off her desk so she could stop destroying her wrists by trying to type in bed.
well. "cleaned off" is a strong term, but now I'm vertical so.
(it turns out being bedridden for a year and a half isn't great for your back, either, and i am having to put WAY too much effort into sitting up straight.)
annoyinge when media has everyone have the same body type. it makes it clear that what youre seeing isn't "really" what any particular character looks like, just the best approximation with this one-size-fits-none art style.
i remain unconvinced that literally every woman, including those with grey hair, has THAT perky a rack in this medieval-ish fantasy setting. or that there are literally no fat people.
its also kinda weird to hear explicit commentary on a character's figure when literally everyone we see looks like that. how, precisely, was i supposed to know that boobgirl #87 was ESPECIALLY boobalicious compared to the others despite how thats... clearly, visually not the case? like, i can see her boobs, game. youve made me look at them rather extensively. youre fooling nobody.

Your computer is currently displaying some volunteer work you've been doing in your spare time for a charity foundation. They're all about advocating for the rights of minority religious groups.
They're just about the only unprotected sects you'll ever engage in.
gotta say. being a creative type with adhd and mood swings fuckin sucks. i feel particularly bad for like One Minute and suddenly i wanna abandon whatever im doing to write a Deep, Mournful Exploration Of The Pain I Carry In My Heart
and then a few hours later it goes away.
The Alphabet Game now has an in-browser version, for convenience's sake.
So I made The Alphabet Game more-or-less in one sitting, for what amounted to nothing more than a whim. And honestly? I am VERY glad I did it, even if the end result was a deliberately unfun time-waster.
One thing I realized, in the process of justifying this project to myself and others, was that my game development skills are "use it or lose it." If I fall out of practice, I WILL forget what I've learned, and have to start over if I ever want to do gamedev again.
So, starting this month, I've decided on something of a project: I will create and release a quality-agnostic microgame, once a month, for... as long as I feel like I need to, honestly. For at LEAST as long as it keeps being fun, because, ultimately?
It was FUN making The Alphabet Game. Even if it isn't fun playing it.
I'll see you next month, hopefully with another microgame.
