Ice cream π€€
Aaaaaand thatβs wraps. For the last day of Augustβs month of random adventures, I did an escape room with friends, yapped, and had a wonderful time: www.escapegamesworcester.com
Which means I have officially survived my August of new experiences and will be doing absolutely NOTHING tomorrow. β€οΈπ€
August 30th: we making ice cream.
β¦starting the process at least. Lots of freezing involved, so I prepared the bases today and Iβll post results as they finish.
β’ Vanilla, honey, pecan, & cinnamon
β’ Mixed berry & almond
β’ Chocolate, walnut, & heathbar
β’ Habanero strawberry lemonade
So close to the end of the month now... ποΈποΈ
For August 29th, I began learning from a 3D low-poly character modeling tutorial in Blender!
TBH, I am enjoying it way more than when I tried proper character modeling and sculpting.

August 28th Adventure: I have learned that all gyms should also have arcades.
Iβve been working in this building for a year and keep meaning to make use of this! Very nice space, and happy to use todayβs random experience to explore it while literally no one else was there π
For the 27th day of an August full of new experiences, I tried a Paint By Numbers Kit!
I think I underestimated the amount of time needed to finish one of theseβ¦ by several hours π
Still cool to see some progress being made!
For anyone else in the 1st Congressional District of MA, meet Richard Neal.
The email I sent was about the ongoing issues with payment processors censoring the sale of adult and LGBTQ games, urging him to back the Fair Access to Banking Acts introduced to the House (H.R.987) and Senate (S.401).
This one's a bit different: for my August 26th adventure, I learned about my local representative and sent him an email.
With *gestures vaguely to world*, it's pretty easy to shut out politics. But if you're American, I still urge you to try: www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
For August 25th of my month of random new experiences: Hike & Write!
I hiked up to a meadow the next town over and did some writing for game ideas. Very peaceful βοΈ
For August 24th, I played PEAK for the first time.
Haven't played much "friendslop" and whether or not the genre name is demeaning, it sure is fun to say. Very enjoyable!
August Adventures, the 23rd. A coworker of mine owns a barcade in Connecticut, so we went to go visit!
Featuring more Mario Kart World, Guitar Hero, and plenty of awesome arcade games. If youβre in the area, check out Gamecraft Arcade in Southington!
Day 22 ended up being a tournament of the new Mario Kart!
In-person LAN parties are underrated and continue to be the best way to play games π€
Day 21 was a follow up to a previous day: sticker-bombing!
Truth be told, Iβve always been too hesitant to use stickers. Feels like such a commitmentβ¦
But even if I put them all on upside down and had to painstakingly peel them back off before reapplying, it wasnβt the end of the world!
Captainβs Log, August 20th. Todayβs random adventure? Gundam kit!
It was a lot of fun! My fingers hurt from snapping little pieces off, but it was still a very relaxing experience π
Today is Day 19 of my random August Adventures. What did I do today? I took an intro piano lesson!
It entailed learning the C major scale and playing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star β after all, you cannot learn piano in a day. All in all, a great experience!

Day 18βs activity: I started a new book!
Harrow the Ninth, second of the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. (I loved the first one, go read it.)
I have a terrible tendency to forget how awesome reading is until I pick up a new book, so this was great to get me past the initial hurdle!
Princess of Worlds End: Urban Fantasy Game about Addiction
One more! I'm not a huge VN player myself, but I met one of the devs on this at yesterday's GameLoop. Didn't talk for long, but they seemed chill - show them some love and get them to the finish line! π€

Tassena: A 2D Precision Platformer with a Story to Tell
This one's got a large goal, but the animation style is absolutely gorgeous... I don't have much experience with precision platformers of this caliber, but I would love to see this one meet its mark.

Mountain Soul - A Cozy Platformer of Exploration & Guidance
I'm a sucker for mechanics for mechanics sake. Give me a skill tree. Give me a bestiary. Give me relationship charts in my cozy 2D platformer. Then put it all into clean and polished UI? Yes please <3

Flightless Fables - Adorable Dungeon Crawling Platformer
Seems like a very polished Pico-8 aesthetic... but honestly I was sold by the the trailer music being such a cheerful vibe. Go show them some love!

August Adventures for the 17th: I used Kickstarter for the first time to see what indie games I could help back!
Turned out to be a wonderful compromise of being lazy halfway through the month but still doing something new π
Gonna break each out into their own post in the thread!
Day 16 of August. For todayβs random new experienceβ¦ I attended Boston GameLoop 2025!
This game development un-conference is a lot of fun, and I havenβt attended since I was back in college. Really love all the conversations I had and folks I met today: www.bostonfig.com/gameloop-2025/
Appetizer: Pear & sausage kebabs π
Entree: Chili-bean burger π
Dessert: Banana caramel crepes π
Fire up them grillsβ¦ Iβm back in the kitchen for Day 15 of new August experiences!
Today, I made a 3-course meal of new dishes from a cookbook! I donβt the last time I cooked from a hard copy rather than the internet, but it was neat to pick recipes from the book.
On Day 14 of August Adventures, I watched a movie Iβve always been meaning to.
Fight Club is a movie thereβs very important to my people (white dudes).
I see why. A very good movie. Mr. Robot is one of my all time favorite shows so finally seeing the inspiration for myself is pretty neat.
Day 13 was an attempt at crocheting π
Novice Tip: the βbeginnerβ kits with 2.5 mm hooks used to make a stuffed animals for first-time crocheters are a monument to our hubris.
On the bright side, I did pick up some terminology and basic techniques. Even if it took a few hours on call with friendsβ¦
