The Money Game A ship's engineer is cast ashore on an island of a few thousand inhabitants, who, like the people of Pitcairn and Tristan da Cunha, are civilized, can read and write, have a school and church, but have never used money. He had previously come into possession of two blocks of gold, one valued at about £10o and the other at about £1,000. While trying to hide it on the island he loses the larger block in a gully, where later on in the story some Islanders find it.
Excerpt from the rule book:
Buying more vintage financial board games. Look at this brilliant shit. 100 years old and only £20!
For context
Happy guy
More happy scenes from the Aberdeen Zoological Museum.
A frog
A sign saying “do not poke the frogs”
Really wanted to poke it

That feeling when you put a sock on upside down and no matter how much you twist it or pull it it's still upside down.
Thanks! Definitely been a fun project to port. Figuring out the intricacies of the Sony store backend, less so.
Thanks!
It can't be...

Burning the candle at both ends is fine. But have you tried smooshing the candle into a ball of wax and inserting matches all over like a hedgehog. Burning the candle from all directions on a sphere is really where its at. If you want to get things done.
The downside of using Kenney assets for placeholders is everyone will tell you what a great job on those effects and then you have to admit they are Kenney’s.

Screenshot of the game Far From Noise. A Citroen 2CV is balanced precariously on the edge of a cliff. Text bubbles: "(honk honk) HELLOOO?"
A screenshot of the game Rhell. A young mage stands in front of some bookshelves and a bed, looking at a spectrral form above.

How is it possible that I manage to click this tiny 1-pixel strip at least 5 times a day? Curse the graphic designer who invented padding.
PS5 build has also been approved. Release date locked in. Get ready to eat a bird people…
Been cooking this for the last year. Very excited to start talking about it properly soon.
Amaze-ing!

Just that feeling of hectic panic distilled into a GBA. Sadly lost my copy but I still have the box and the memories.
