summer sale

hi everyone! i haven't been up to a WHOLE lot, but i always enjoy a little writing time. i've been playing more games lately! i got quite a few during the steam summer sale - to be exact, i got steins;gate, everhood, to pixelia, mr. rainer's solve-it service, redtape, cattails wildwood story, and sensei! i like you so much! (or sensuki). i already knew i liked to pixelia because i've been enjoying the demo, and since it was on sale i figured i'd go ahead and grab it before i was done with the demo. i'm sure i'll enjoy cattails too, since i played the original on switch and i've heard good things about wildwood story. i've been playing quite a bit of sensuki already and it's really fun! the english translation isn't the best, but the point still gets across.

i really want to get a steam deck, but i'm worried i wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost. i have games i've barely touched because they're stuck on my switch or ps4, which i barely play these days. i just spend so much time at my computer! still, maybe i can get a steam deck someday.

i want to buy even more games from the steam sale too! i get paid tomorrow, so i may have to grab a few more things. admittedly i'm a bit of a game hoarder, but i'm trying to get better about that. maybe i'll never play every single game in my library, but i'd like to have played more than like 2% of it lol

i also got the citrus con summer festival bundle (18+), which is one of those massive game bundles for like 15 bucks. a few games in it i was already eyeing, so i'm glad to have picked it up!

i decided not to enter the yaoi game jam this year; i didn't really have a lot of time to prepare beforehand and while it is a two month game jam, i'm still worried it's a bit too big for me right now. i'm still aiming for the only one of any asset jam though! i haven't finished that project i was working on; i feel a little daunted by the prospect of doing the art. i'll try to push through soon though! i'm feeling a little inspired by this video about making girly games. there needs to be more girly games out there!

other than gaming and rping, i haven't been up to much. to be fair, though, that has been keeping me pretty busy! i'd like to do a little more art stuff, but otherwise that's not bad. all in all, a nice summer so far! i even got out and actually interacted with people face to face on saturday too. every month there's a board game social at the nearby library and i had a blast there! i played two games. the first one i don't remember the name of, but the second one was quacks, and it was really fun! it's a sort of deckbuilding game, which i always enjoy.

i do have a plan for a new about page too! i have an artist on furvilla i want to commission for the pic, but their slots closed before i could grab one. at least i'm on the waitlist! i should probably code the page in the meantime though; i do already have a design figured out. maybe one day i'll make more pages instead of just editing the ones i already have HAHAHA. i do still have plans for other pages.

that's all i have for this post. thanks for tuning in!
