Anyway. More games should be short stories! But that can’t happen unless we are accepting of that form - otherwise the form dies, replaced by longer forms that require more capital investment to make. Like happened in scifi. Guess who benefited from that

Old Man Terrapin stood blinking sleepily,
when Rooster came with a yell:
β€œGood morning!” called he, a little too loud,
for Terrapin hid in his shell.

Animated in @procreate.

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

Spotted on this morning’s ride: January frost flowers, and a small cat battling five black vultures (not pictured, but winning).

Here in Arkansas, the story starts the same, but instead of parachutes, our Game & Fish released hundreds of alligators. They later denied everything, despite having mailed letters to notify the residents (which included my great grandad).

The owl sketch is an old one, from a morning before the tornado when we had barred owls living in our hemlock trees (RIP) who would sit and watch us through the windows.
