No clue if anyone can help, but Imma ask anyway. I followed an author on Twitter (X), they wrote thriller/horror books based on Irish folklore (released a new book back in December I think). But I deleted X, so I can't find out who it was. Amazon wishlist is gone, so no luck there either. Help? ๐Ÿค—

AAAAAH! Can't believe I've been in Madrid at EA for a week already. My mind is blown.

I'll be doing something I've been dreaming of for years. It'll be for a fixed term of 3 months, but still, I'm incredibly grateful, anxious and equally as excited as I am terrified.

Madrid, see you soon. ๐Ÿค

Folks, there's a theory that I'm trying to dis/prove with ANONYMOUS data as part of a little philanthropic/educational resource I'm thinking of putting together and I would love if you could take 2 mins to respond - forms.gle/JgLaPaSM9Cwg... - any shares much appreciated.

Questions for the 30(-something)-year-olds among us. I'll be turning 30 in June, and I messed up my back putting on my robe this morning. Is this what being 30 is like?

If so, I don't want it and how can I request a return form for it?

Thanks in advance. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

I'm considering starting streaming to just have something to do (and maybe combat the loneliness). I think it would be really fun to stream more unknown/up-and-coming solo or indi dev games. Anyone got any good recommendations of either games they really enjoyed, or games they're working on? ๐Ÿค

Depression has kicked in so hard, my portfolio-URL expired back in November. I haven't had the strength or motivation to create a new one, let alone continue on existing projects to upload fresh material. The dream just continues to float further away, and I'm just stuck in this rut. Frustrating. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

I really would love to aid in destigmatising depression, BPD, going to therapy/asking for help, etc. But I don't know where to start, any tips?

Here's a pic of one of my kitties being incredibly comfortable as a pre-emptive 'thank you'. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค

Hot tip: When you've had a full-on dumpsterfire of a morning, take an excessive amount of pictures of your chonky cat cleaning herself and post them online. It won't necessarily make you feel better, but hopefully it'll brighten other people's day.

Lately I've been having to step way out of my comfort zone when applying for jobs. I've learned that I can do a lot more than I thought I was capable of, but the hardest part still is giving myself a pat on the back. Even after 4 years of therapy. The work continues.

Currently, I'm on the couch playing Animal Crossing while simultaneously watching Apex Legends gameplay. And I feel like that sums up my personality pretty well.
