A scientist made bread from a 4,500-year-old yeast sample. Unconfirmed whether the sample was contaminated by newer microorganisms, but still incredibly neat.

Greetings professor! Nothing to report.

And yeah, I deliberately try to balance out my sad posting with something positive if I’ve got it. It’s my sort of dumb way of breaking the cycle, since my brain likes to chew on whatever I said last.

I commissioned a thing from Trae, and it’s looking really great so far:

The sole benefit to catching bronchitis after travel: I can currently talk in the voice of Solid Snake. I’ve been making use of it while it lasts.

Come Test My New Battle Engine! Looking for Volunteers! 

Hey! I'm starting work on my second major game release, tentatively called "Kill Your Landlord's Mecha!" It's a JRPG hybrid like my previous game "Tegu", with fights which are card battles with a lot of strategy. I've got a demo of the battle system and I'm looking for feedback from interested folks! If you have the time, please give it a spin and let me know what you think. There are tutorials to explain it all.

It's the lion's share of the soundtrack for Tegu, @Aradia 's upcoming card-battling JRPG.

I don't know exactly when this will be dropping officially, that's pending a lot of different moving parts to stop moving but in the meantime, you can catch a preview of it here: soundcloud.com/ratttz/wrong-si

Chicory spoiled us with a surprise gift for my and Array’s anniversary!

I’m melting from how sweet it is.

videogame crushes, Rune Factory 4 spoilers 

It says a lot about me that I crush on the friendly dragon and the fourth level boss of the game, because of course I do.

videogame crushes, Rune Factory 4 spoilers 

Someone in line for a videogame yesterday asked me if I was also going to pick up the rereleased Rune Factory 4. I said I would, and played through before, after which they asked me “which woman I married”.

I didn’t have the heart to tell them I crushed on Ventuswill (the cheerful, sincere wind dragon deuteragonist) enough that I refused to complete the story arcs that make her disappear and eventually become human.

Also, that I was courting Leon.

dreamposting 

I just flew 9 timezones West (UTC+2 -> UTC-7), so my sleep schedule is pretty messed up right now.

So far, my dreams the first two nights have been:

* Learning to craft a game engine out of primitives, in episodic, 1-hour broken sleep segments, with a Black Mirror/Transistor-style plot format

* Unbroken sleep for several hours, in which my brain perfectly simulated a 22/22 big key run in A Link to the Past Randomizer (left first, big key in Tile Room)

food, meat reference 

It's unfair how delicious Norwegian roadside diners make their food. The flat steak and burgers are just: ;..;

Hey, hey you

The most popular indie game of the century has a skeleton in a hoodie and bath slippers in it for no reason.

The anime of the hour has people bending spacetime in tight Guchi outfits.

A talking raccoon is a hugely popular superhero.

Do your weird idea. Its fine.

@Goldkin And the good weeks, that 2 of 52, remind me I am not broken, that I am still good at caring for people, and that I am not the varying horrors that drove me from those old places.

I just wish I were better at pulling it all together, and at not being terribly afraid of a repeat of the fallings out and accusations and pain. Because I know that passes, too, even if it scars.

For now, I should probably sneak back to enjoying the rest of this trip and making the best of the time.

longing 

@Goldkin My feeling is that too much weight has been put into wishing for specific collections of people again, and just putting things off until a nearly unending list of practical demands are met. This is also not sustainable for me.

I don't really know what to do about it. I spend much of the remainder stewing in my own feelings of self-doubt that I do not fit in and replaying the specific events that cast me out of my older communities. And all that does is comfort and stall action.

longing 

It is not emotionally maintainable for me to spend 2 weeks out of every 52 reconnecting with people and feeling like I belong again, sometimes flying half a world away to do so (NDG), while letting the other 50 remain fallow.

Which is another way of saying NDG is going well, and that I miss people the remainder of the time. Not just specific people, but any sense of community again.

That is not an impossible thing, even in the dark times. Especially in the dark times.
