A Second Bunch of Cool Things

24 Aug 2025

I saw even more cool things, lemme' share 'em with you!

Woah Look At All This More Cool Stuff

I’ve made every 8th day a meta post, and this one’s no different. I’m gonna’ use it to share some more stuff, please enjoy all of it!

Blogs

• Learn how to nail jelly to a wall. I promise this uses rigorous science.
• Emilio Coppola talks about AI and the future that this shit robbed from us.
• Ron Gilbert wrote about the different types of game testing and which type produces the most results by a landlside.
• Check out this blog of Eve Online space photos.

Webcomics

• My Other Brain Is An Idiot is on to part 2 as of a few weeks ago. If you love Thorsby’s stuff, this is a very fun read.
• Space Dread Is Sick in the latest Val and Isaac arc.
• A new arc started in Vigils for Friends involving grapes. Possibly hell grapes???
• Foreach is on Chapter 5, but I’m linking the very start of Foreach in case you haven’t read it yet. It’s a wild ride.

Games

• Mega Knockdown, the turn-based fighting game, had a tournament at EVO this year!
• Spookiest gamedev Rainbow Cemetery made Anzu Castle Gracula, a Castlevania-like game made entirely in QBasic! It runs extremely well and even has a save system, I highly recommend this.
• A Solitare Mystery from Hempuli has so much friggin’ solitare in it. It’s loads of fun even if I am getting my ass handed to me on each one.
• Squeakross: Home Squeak Home is packed with puzzles to solve. Completing enough gets you a second version of puzzles you did, and each puzzle you do gets furniture for your rats.

Postscript

Whew, that’s it for the last meta post! I’ve got 7 posts left until the end of the month, and that’ll make for 31 posts total for #blaugust. It has been a challenge to think of something new to write about every day in a mid-to-long form, but it’s also shown that sitting down to do it makes it loads easier than constantly considering doing it.

I’ve also gotten to talk about a bunch of stuff I never really talked about on my own personal sites before. Most of my projects’ videos were over on Twitter, and that’s a fucking trash fire I deleted all my stuff from. I’ve got pages for them to be downloaded from on itch with some info, but it’s not a casual chattin’-about-it kinda’ spot. I’m really hoping I keep up this habit, maybe twice a week posting. I’m not gonna promise, I’m prone to just forgetting, but it’ll be nice to just find something to yak for a bit about.
