I told you not to let me 3d model, but you didn't listen did you? And this is exactly the kind of quality thing you can expect to see. I hope you're happy! 🤪
MNOZ - My Nuclear Octopus 2 now has a Steam page! Yay! You can wishlist it, if you like. That would be absolutely lovely!
Thanks to @Bobbins@bobbinsrobots.com for the wonderful cover art 🤩
Still a long way to go before it'll be ready to launch, but here begins the begging for wishlist offerings to appease the Steam gods!! 🤔
Boosts, as always, very much appreciated ❤️

Dunno if anyone is aware or not, but Tempest 4000 is on sale on Steam right now for a ridiculously low price 80% off. It really is a thing of beauty and it belongs in everyone’s game library if you ask me.
Groundhog of the day! (in our garden)
Who's been nibbling at that tree I wonder?
It’s been a fix something, break something kind of a day and I’ve somehow ended up with a broken game at the end of it. I hate leaving stuff broken overnight but after a day of breaking and fixing I’m too tired to sort it, so it’s a future me problem. Good luck to future me on fixing the game tomorrow! 🤣🤨
I’m noticing some retro computing folks using genAI to convert code from one old computer to another. I guess they do it to make themselves look clever on their retro computing FB groups or online or whatever, rather than actually learning how to do it. Torching the planet with genAI just to convert a bit of z80 to 6502 or whatever? Tragic. They can get right in the bin.
One tragically ironic thing I’ve seen recently is union workers using Gen AI generated images to advertise their events and drum up support. Nothing says solidarity of workers like using technology that literally *steals* from workers eh?! 🤨 … no, no it doesn’t. Get in the bin, Gen AI users!
Today, I'm working on an enemy that turns into a wall 👀 🧱
I wish we could get affordable home solar panels here in Ontario that I could just put out on the patio like the ones available all over europe.. there's so much sunlight all year round we could easily be powering most of the province with them if the government put the effort in.
I'd do anything to get a Greggs here in Canada. This country really needs a sausage roll and a pasty.

And the spelling of 'weird' weirds me out, too. It never looks right whether it's right OR wrong. It's weird.
