So, Agents of Mayhem is $2 on Steam right now. It apparently hasn't been tested on the Steam Machine. Knowing that the team has been laid off makes me wonder "Will it ever be made compatible?" This is about to be a $2 experiment which will hopefully not lead to me complaining any further.
Friends: Hey, Troy! You going to SDCC this year? MrTroy: Nah, I'm good. I'll end up standing at the booth all year. 😔 I just found out Jerry O'Connell is gonna be there. I've wanted to take a picture with that guy since I was like 10.
On a more pleasant note. I got my Steam Machine and started testing my games on it.
Okay, I've lost a few close people over the last week or two, and have several going in and out of hospitals. I'm once again asking you all to take care of yourselves and be healthier if you can.
Last night's dream was really weird for me. Short description: I dreamt I totally tanked a game jam with a really awesome game. When I tried to read comments of why the game was bad it was garbled. That's how I knew I was dreaming and woke up. I now wanna create that "awful" game.
I'm grateful that X-Men '97 kept Cable's PoV of time's worst babysitter in the intro.
I've been researching a lot of VR stuff recently. Now, YouTube is sending me videos about Oceangate. I wonder if the algorithm is telling me that I'm flying too close to the sun.

I refuse to believe that the Steam Machine won't sell out immediately. I'm not falling for that again. 😒 "It's too expensive" is what people are saying to get others to drop their guard.
I couldn't find a list of EVERY game from EVERY showcase so I made one haha snowdrama.net/blog/2026/al...

Samsung's SSD warranty policy scammed me so I'm taking them to court.

I realized that XBox Games Showcase was a lot more pleasant as soon as I hid the chat window.
Hey, #PitchYaGame! We're making a roguelike where you fight (all human drawn) GenAI monsters with a unique paint mixing system! We have a free playtest up on steam here (store.steampowered.com/app/3238010/...) and we're looking for a publisher!
