Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. Oh okay, let’s get a dubious one out.

So! The good luck of my last post was balanced out by serious heatstroke, which fully took me out for one week then took another two weeks to recover. How did I do this? Napped in a hot room.

In case you want to know what ultimate success feels like: I got a Costa 2good2go pastry bag today, combo’d it with the Birthday Treat reward, AND I was given an extra free cake because the one I picked was half price anyway

Anyway I'm just going to say it outright: if you're an indie dev using AI for coding, above and beyond any other objections, what you're telling me is that you have no solidarity with anyone else in games. Not artists, not writers, not other coders. You beleive in personal convenience at all costs.

I’m not indie gaming today, it’s been an intense work week and I need to do some non-screen hobbies. Naturally I’ve gone for medieval finger weaving.
