Currently learning BSL alongside Jupiter, we're a good couple of weeks in now and it's really fun. What's really interesting is that I already knew (most) of the fingerspelling but nothing else, while she has, over the years become great at ASL/Pigeon, so we're both approaching it differently.
Brilliant Indie Treasures (on a BOAT!) is happening this weekend. If you're in London and want to check out a bunch of awesome #indiegames, grab your ticket and come hang out: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brilliant-...

Issue 17 of Debug is now out, and if you pick it up then you can read my thoughts on Wardrum, Zero Parades for Dead Spies, Town to City and Mind Diver. The team (not me) also featured our most recent @brilliantindietreasures.com event in their Road Trip section!
Should have posted earlier but have been catching up from Gamescom (and celebrations). Received an absolutely amazing (albeit totally ridiculous) birthday present from Jupiter this year: A Pokemon Pinball Machine. Some pictures and my current high score:
Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it): Pancake hated that plant, so replaced it.

Two fun, nature-themed games in one box. My thoughts on Flora Funga:

Issue 16 of Debug is now out, and if you pick it up then you get to read my thoughts on the following games: Bloodgrounds, Pluralys, Everything is Crab, Aethermancer, Sol Cesto, Mina the Hollower and an in-case-you-missed-it piece on Super Amazing Wagon Adventure
Been seeing the sights from both East and West (Thorpe Bay to Bristol) over the past few days.
Been playing this for the last few days and really enjoyed my time in (very) early 17th century Japan. The strongest entry in a strong series.

Had a fantastic time at @brilliantindietreasures.com yesterday! AAA gaming is collapsing under its own weight, but the #indiegame scene is alive and buzzing with creativity. It was great to meet some of the talented teams behind the games on display and we're feeling energised! ⚡
Yesterday we also hosted the third year of @brilliantindietreasures.com - @quangdx.com, @isleofdann.bsky.social and I, along with all of the volunteers and devs, smashed it. Absolutely excited for 2027! #develop #indiegames #developbrighton
Brilliant Indie Treasures was Brilliant! Thanks so much to all the volunteers at @brilliantindietreasures.com for pulling off another great event, and being a highlight of Brighton and Develop! And thanks to everyone who played 'Less Miserables' and won the card game!
And we're off at Brilliant Indie Treasures. Come get 🔪🔪🔪 #briliantindietreasures #indiegamedevelopment

I’ll be showcasing the latest 🌱Grow Wild🌸demo at Brilliant Indie Treasures in Brighton on Weds 15th July, 4pm – 8pm, Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront. 🤩👀 Come along and play 50 (possibly unseen!) indie games selected by the renowned @quangdx.com @jupiterhadley.com + @isleofdann.bsky.social
Being spoiled as am now out for another day with Robin, this time helping out for a bit with a school trip to the zoo!
Dann Sullivan@isleofdann.bsky.social · 3mo agoGot along to Robin’s end of term performance for a little club she’s been doing after school. She was playing Matilda in, well, Matilda and was phenomenal. Very proud of her, especially as she’s missed quite a few lessons here and there.

It's been another month, so I'm back in print for @debugmag.com #15. Inside you can find my thoughts on: Aethus, Galactic Vault & Modulus. Additionally, I've a nice little two-pager on Pathway, an exceptional title that Robotality should be cracking on with a sequel to.
I’m quite well known for my orange hoodie. For Father’s Day yesterday Jupiter arranged a (matching colour) hoodie with designs from Amelia and Robin on it. I also got some lovely cards from the kiddos - with a tribute to my Beef Pho among them.
Went to one of my favourite places to eat for Father’s Day yesterday. Love my family so much.
Jupiter@jupiterhadley.com · 4mo agoWent to Bang Bang Oriental Food hall yesterday, where Robin and Kai won the claw machine! #foodhall #family #dinnertime
Went along to see the new Toy Story with the kiddos. I honestly don’t think they’re ever going to stop making these at this point.
Nice Sunday nature walk today, spotted an Egyptian Goose and Mandarin Duck.
