Set dressing the final area of Slumberland as we gear up for #Steam Early Access: 2D/3D game environment for Little Nemo and the Nightmare Fiends based on Casa Batllo in Barcelona by Antoni Gaudi #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday
Well I got hit with an unexpected $175 hosting bill for a site I don't even really use anymore aside from getting the "gamerstavernshow.com" custom username here PLUS another bill was about $50 more than I expected, so my October finances are looking...tight. Any help would be appreciated!
On Christmas Day 2025, I fell in my kitchen baking cookies for Santa and broke my back, leaving me paralyzed. I'm currently in a long-term care facility with my benefits severely cut and could use financial help with bills and groceries. You can donate to my GoFundMe or see links in the reply.

One student, reacting to this news about AI, echoed the same terms as a senior colleague: “either there’s an honor code or there isn’t.” Just as AI blurs the lines between fact & slop, for too many students it’s bringing unnecessary confusion to that critical question.
I’m a critic of AI. I’ve colleagues I respect who are more favorable about it. But one thing we agree on: citation is the bare minimum if you are going to use it. I don’t think that should be controversial.
'Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap' was released on the SEGA Master System 37 years ago this month in the US.
Well this looks cool…
