Godot is about to become the best-funded engine we've ever seen and rightly so

feeling like a hackermann using monitors, finally doing a little more SSI today (skipped friday...)
steam the best software platform apparently
turns out i have a very quick turnaround on birthday gifts, when inspiration strikes
yeah i got a muse for sure
Grief Is the The Thing with Feathers
this is my favourite book, the hobbit is what i want in life, and this is what i've had so far in life.
i made annotations in my copy, never marked 5 PAGES before.
it's abstract and doesn't make sense, just like grief, i cried 5 times reading these 100~ pages.
day 72 done
finished LIBRARY assets, i think i can just unveil the store page now?
it is definitely not good looking (although i've seen much worse quality pages...)
i will need to do lots of iteration but people will be able to wishlist at least!
