Decided to keep an on going thread of funny shit my workplace bully at my day job thinks I'm too stupid to do
Today's episode: tightening two screws on a doorknob. She insisted I ask for help because it would be too much for me...
🙃 I use screw drivers and drills almost everyday here lol
Why is getting longer gameplay videos off of a steam deck so difficult?
Its so unnecessary how many steps there are... For how many people like to capture gameplay and upload videos to various social media platforms, you would think that Valve would have wanted to make it easier

Something I've been contemplating lately:
What motivates people to leave reviews for games?
Why do some games get lots of reviews, while others struggle to get even 10?
What can indiedevs do to help encourage players to leave a review?
#indiedev #gaming
Thinking of leaving the orchestra I've been with for over 10 years and finding a new one.
Without getting too much into the details, we have too many bassoonists and the director tends to be kinda rude to people. She also has stopped including me in the email chain, which tells me its time to leave
The No Ice in Minnesota bundle on itch.io is now live!

My manager: pats himself in the back for no longer playing favorites with his employees
also my manager:
sends the person who does negative work to a conference to give a presentation where she'll act like she did all the work herself
Since I dont eat meat, B12 is one vitamin I never really get enough of. Most days this number sits between 0% and 30%
I started taking a B12 supplement a couple of days ago, but didnt add it to my food tracker until today.
Over 20,000% seems a bit excessive lol
For comparison, I live in SoCal and make about $45K a year before taxes... which is too much for low income housing and not enough for anything else.
So if someone really can live on less then $25K before taxes in Japan, I'll be impressed.
Saw this bassoon audition for an orchestra in Japan and thought it would be a cool opportunity... then I saw the pay 🙃
I know things like rent are less expensive in Japan, but can someone really survive on less then $25K a year?

"I'm going to wake up, eat a healthy breakfast and be responsible today :)"
my body: >:) nice plans, but no
🙃
made some ice coffee today thinking it was going to taste awesome...
forgot that I have covid and everything either tastes like olive oil or nothing, so now i am sad cuz my coffee tastes unfortunate lol
Went through two doom boxes I had sitting around... apparently I like office supplies lol I have enough notebooks, pens and sticky notes for at least the next year lol
Trying my best to declutter my space... not because its a new years resolution (i dont believe in those) but because I'm related to hoarders, and don't want to be the 3rd generation to be one, and I already know I have too much stuff...
Happy Holidays from everyone on the Whim Indie team!

I decided to figure out what my stack of shame looks like on steam... Currently sitting at 33 games I need to finish
I told myself no new games until I play through some of my backlog... we'll see how long that lasts :)
This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesn’t matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)
If you have friends who enjoy playing pixel rpg's, Selatria makes a great gift with over 60+ hours of gameplay!
Spellbearers is also a great gift for friends that love twin stick shooters!

#TeaseYaGame #Indiegame #Steam
Yesterday I was exploring the great world of tea, and may have gone a little overboard with how much I bought lol
Went from being cut from a concert tonight to being in a rehearsal for the Toy Symphony where we all wore party hats for the vibes lol
sometimes things work out :)
"If you just want to complete the main story and don't mind a few (reaction-based) mini-games along the way, check this game out"
Selatria has 60+ hours of gameplay that includes dungeons, boss battles and mini-games!
Check out Selatria ➡️ buff.ly/coYR0yG

In Delivery Issues, you do much more than simply deliver packages. It's a race against time as you meet zany characters, maneuver through obstacles, and take on a mysterious enemy that will make this otherwise easy job rather difficult.

Today's sound design tip:
If you are using GameMaker and Fmod and have team members using a Mac to work on the project, when naming your soundbanks, don't include spaces... Macs apparently hate that and will refuse to understand what it means

21ish year old guy next to me that has not taken lessons ever and struggles to play in tune: *mansplains to me how some composers use dissonances in their music*
🙃 thanks bro...

"I have an hour until a game dev meeting, thats plenty of time to run an update on my computer"
my laptop: :) yes, of course thats enough time
*takes 84 years to update*
it was not enough time
#gamedevproblems
Reviews also determine a game's rating! Steam won't give a game a rating until it gets 10 reviews.
Selatria needs 3 more reviews to get a rating, and Spellbearers needs 4 more.
#indiegamedev #indiegame #gamereview
There's 3 hours left to grab both of these games before the sale runs out!

Saw yellow dragon fruit at my grocery store the other day and bought one out of curiosity...
Ate the entire thing for a snack when I got home from work thinking it would be a nice healthy snack...
I am now realizing what a mistake that was lol
