just a few short days after i hatched from my wizard egg, my mom made a homunculus of wet clay. funny little guy. she named it “better kid” —we called him BK for short. now he’s the urn i keep her ashes in. happy mother’s day!

next aquarium update is shaping up to be the biggest one yet! 5 new fish! for context there are only 14 in the game at the moment, so this is a fairly big chunk!
i am easily distracted by other things and the day passed in a blink. tis alright, we'll get em next yearrr >:3
gang i watched repo the genetic opera and i loved it so much barkbarkbark. its like the first musical i like. genuinely loved.
i might throw together a little game for april fools, i have a funny idea for a. bizarre pet sim, to say the least.
slop as in dead by daylight*
i would definitely!!! idk ive been hungry for games, a man can only stomach so much slop yk?
playing aquarium where i only keep 4 copies of a fish and dont flood the tank with fish has really shown me how frequently fish clip out of the tank. expect a fix next patch, didnt realize it was this bad because i didnt really notice some fish disappearing because i normally have a packed tank lol.
flash drives are so big for so cheap nowadays that it actually fucks me up. i don't want to put a single text file on a 128gb stick. it's too big. the file is going to get all rattled around and dinged up if i leave it in there by itself
Bloodybelly comb jellies don’t glow—they put on a shifting rainbow light show with reflective glass plates as they drift through the abyss. But that deep red color? It’s the ultimate invisibility cloak, making sure nothing sees what they’ve had for lunch. 🌊🪼 #DeepSea #Marinelife
alright, with aquarium in a nice spot for now (emphasis on for now, i intend to circle back) im probably gonna shift gears to another project.
i have a fun tower defense concept rolling around in my head rn so probably gonna kick that around to see what fruits it can summon.
heya! also a bit of a surprise update because i was really hard at work this weekend and forgot to talk about it at all, but 3 new fish for aquarium! check out the patchnotes here:

trying to draw things not on a 32x32 canvas has me literally dead and or dying. im not built for these high resolution.
drew some new coverart for the aquarium itch page. leagues better than the old i think!! still very much a placeholder, though.

New comic page is up!! Read it at redtape.neocities.org
If you follow the comic on Tumblr then you have already seen this... But i got the newest page up, and fixed some other issues with the site so you should check it out anyways!
Hopefully I will be back to posting regularly in a few weeks!
me but with games and even though i know i could make something it makes me appreciate everything so much more because i know exactly what cheese is under the sauce

ough. networking features hard for my little skull.
we wouldn't need "fast travel" if our game studios invested in accessible and affordable public transport infrastructure. skyrim should have a tram network. assassin's creed should have several regular bus routes. give ghost of tsushima a metro
A picture of the opened mussel with its companion worm.
It's Bivalve Day. And what's better than a bivalve? One that hosts a worm too!
Meet Bathymodiolus platifrons (the mussel), and it's very close friend, Branchipolynoe pettiboneae, a scale worm.
