I’ve been on a 3D platformer binge.

Just finished Castle on the Coast and was pleasantly surprised. It starts off feeling a little janky, but after the first 30-60 minutes realize it’s intentional and you are a silly giraffe parkour GOD. Some later levels get into abstract platforming and refreshingly different mechanics than I’ve experienced before. Worth checking out if you’re a 3D platformer-head.

Currently playing through Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Never played any of them before, but always wanted to. Just finished the first one and it was quite fun, although I did not like the final boss. There should have been a checkpoint after the first phase (2 keys phase). Looking forward to finding out how they developed the mechanics from there in 2 and 3.

INB4 Nintendo sues Sony for filing Nintendo-like lawsuits

This has been on my wishlist for a while after finding Blargis’ Youtube channel. Looks amazing.

Pardon me for checking your post history, but I noticed you’ve posted in the Canada community and therefore you might be Canadian. Is it possible you’ve been eating more local fruit this year due to boycotts? I wonder if there’s some relation.

I noticed my Ontario blueberries were very sweet this year, compared to the imported ones I’ve had in the past that could be somewhat bitter or tart. I have no evidence if this is a reason why they’re sweeter though, I’m just guessing.

It’s a slow process. Look at the contrast between how you are currently feeling versus how you were at your lowest and realize the progress that you’ve made.

Into the Unwell playtest. It caught my attention at Summer Game Fest and I was lucky enough to get the invite. I am loving it so far and can’t wait for it to release. Go wishlist it now!

Also playing a bit of Garfield Kart: Furious Racing. Fun little Kart game and the sequel is in the works.

Then either your boss or yourself are shit at managing workloads properly. If you can’t take 10min it’s too much work for you.

I mean the whole point is for them to extract value from me which I understand. Where I’m from we have designated break time in the work day. It’s not that I don’t get any breaks, but an additional 10 minutes per hour would certainly have a noticeable impact. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean by a “pause” - I’m not firing on all cylinders the entire time, that’s for sure.

You think you’re special and can’t get burnt out? May I ask if you’re over 30 yet?

I didn’t say I was special. I meant that my calendar is not jam-packed, thankfully. It’s maybe 1 or 2 reminders per day at most, for short tasks that I need remember to do at certain times. In fact these tasks tend to be even easier and less taxing than regular work, and using the calendar as a reminder means that I’m not committing any brain power to remember them which helps too. I have experienced burnout at a previous job and this is nowhere close. I do appreciate your concern though.

If I took a 10 minute pause every hour I would fall behind in my work and that would be overwhelming. Most of the reminders I’m setting are for super short tasks to check if something is complete because it’s urgent for whatever reason.

I agree that having a calendar jam-packed all the time would be a recipe for burnout, but in my case it makes it easier to stay on track with certain things, and just work normally the other 95% of the time.

I’ve never had a favorite anything in my entire life

The secret to immortality right there

I use Outlook at work, and a former co-worker showed me her trick which is to create calendar reminders for time-sensitize things because there is always too much to remember. And you get the benefit of appearing busy (red) in Teams so people are less likely to interrupt. It’s like a meeting but you are the only one invited.

Voids Vigil

Pixel art roguelike with like 30 different starting classes and different game modes. Working my way through the 221 achievements to 100%. It’s highly addictive, has a sense of humour, and it’s made by an indie dev that I admire.
