Got word today that one of our regulars/former co-worker (they were a holiday seasonal once when I was at GS the first time) passed away. And fuck, it sucks. He started coming back in when I came back to work part-time. I'd give him some names of games to take a look at for his daughter.
Like I said, I ouch all over from all the standing and the dancing and what have you, but it was a hell of a time ☺️ And to see Will have so much fun made my heart grow about five sizes
I regret nothing, but oh man, the body hurts today 🤣🤣 Kiddo had a hell of a time, though ☺️
Neon Trees is the opener. EVERYBODY TALKS!
I haven't said anything because I didn't want to jinx it, but hubby, kiddo and I are seeing the Goo Goo Dolls tonight AND YEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHH!
Ok y'all, what's everyone been playing this weekend? I got a chance to dive into a few demos coming publicly next week, but I'm looking to play AMIMI, Burger Bois and Video Nightz from the @sixoneindie.com Demo Days event!

They still haven't figured out why I'm so tired all the time, but after playing Helix and [Redacted until Friday] I feel like I have a little more mojo than normal.

Badass Mongoose and @piratepr.com were kind enough to send over a code of Helix: Descent N Ascent over, and after half an hour of playing so far, I think I'm in love?

In related medical news: they're finally sending me the thing for my in-home sleep study. I'm so excited I could cry.
Amanda @ The Indie Game Cafe@the-indie-game-cafe.com · 2w agoSeeing my current primary doc for the last time before she moves on to a new position and 🤞we can get some kind of treatment or adjustment to my meds to figure out WHY I AM SO TIRED like, all the time. And why, in the last couple of months, my joints have just HATED ME.
Maybe I'm just not enough of a strategy person to really *get* deckbuilders, but I'll keep playing them if they're as fun as Slumber Realm. #indiegames www.the-indie-game-cafe.com/slumber-real...
