Unfortunately, New Hope Chapter 7 Part 2 will be delayed due to a major leak at home that’s damaged part of my work setup.

I’ve set up a small fundraiser to help replace the equipment, with exclusive New Hope CG rewards included 💙

I started playing It Takes Two, a cute yet slightly horrifying game, with my good friend @yblayke.bsky.social and we learn that we aren't that good at platforming. I even added a death counter for each of us.😆

I played Overwatch last week with my good friend @yblayke.bsky.social & I made a video montage of some of our games. It was the first time playing in years & we weren't great but it was still a lot of fun.

Next part of my Straight!? playthrough, and things are definitely getting more serious.

Also, I tried some new audio editing things so maybe it sounds better?
