Developer: Sophie Houlden Launcher Quote:  “On this day in 1997, a game that meant a lot to me was released.  It was the first game to give me a very particular feeling, one that was powerful enough to make me want to make games myself. With this little game, I’ll try Continue Reading

In many ways the simple nature and need of pets is envious to us human types. Pets go through life with very specific needs and wants, and as far as trying to satisfy them, much of the time it’s as easy as finding a nice little spot where they like to be skritched or petted and giving them a few minutes of relaxed satisfaction.

Back in the day, I played a MUD called Gemstone III. I enjoyed it for a ton of reasons, but most of all for the fact that there was realism to injuries and needing healing. If you got cut or hurt, there were clumsy ways to do up bandages or move but otherwise you had a ton of problems and bleeding to death was common.

Today’s entry from Anton is a little closer to me because it hits up a practice that I’ve been doing on and off since about 2004 or so in blogging/journaling. I started out on LiveJournal, the choice of platform for that George R. R.

My reasons for blogging haven’t really changed from back then – for me it’s a way of reflecting and thinking, of keeping my writing skill sharp, and, to a certain extent, as a cathartic exercise, a way of moving out what I have rolling around in my head and onto a page so it isn’t getting in the way or bothering me.

It’s fairly topical right now to have a game like Richard’s that talks about cleaning, especially with all the Marie Kondo talk going around about turning to the minimalist KonMari method to make sure that you’re not overwhelmed with your own clutter and the things you inevitably acquire and keep during your lifetime. I also get and understand the anxiety that you can feel over trying to deal with a mess that’s intimidating and that you might not have the mental space to deal with the encroaching invasion that junk can have on your physical space, too.
