Depression Sucks + Giant List of Games

EDIT: All game files have been uploaded as zip files. If you've been having the "unreadable" error, try downloading now.

No, not decompression. Although, I guess, sudden decompression...

Anyway, it's been a rough couple of weeks. Had a couple of job prospects that didn't really pan out for whatever reason, despite what I thought were good interviews, so I'm still looking. Might have to work at McDonald's at this rate. Wouldn't that be fun.

But no one cares about that, so here's the deal: not going to be working on anything again today, but tomorrow, I will be. The only way to get out of depression is to crawl out of it, right? So, I have to force myself to do so.

So then why am I not working on something today? Because I looked at my email box and realized that I am an asshole and haven't answered emails since January. Which is such a dick move. I'm going to go through that backlog and reply to everything, whether it's out of date, already resolved, or what. Rest assured that I actually do read every email because...

Okay, here's the explanation, and it's kind of stupid. I'm Anonymous Man, right? I value my anonymity, despite the fact that it really would not be terribly difficult to figure out who I am with a little effort. So I have the email anonymousmangames@gmail.com for my "official" communications. That email address forwards everything to my actual email account, which is where I read just about everything. But, since it's a) forwarded, and b) my personal email account, I don't reply to anything from there. So instead I just read it, lie to myself that I'll reply "soon(tm)" and then forget all about it until days like today.

Anydangway, in other news, I'm going to upload zip files of the both TTF and Cursed today to all three upload sites (and maybe another one that was recommended) in the hopes of finally preventing the "Sorry, This RAGS file is unreadable" error, which I have allowed to continue for far too long. I can't say that it will fix it, because I don't know, but I can try it; it's not especially time consuming or difficult. Don't expect it to actually reduce the size of the file, though, because RAGS files hate compression.

Finally, I should probably point people to awesome games that I occasionally play. If you like TTF or Cursed, you may like these games, but no guarantees. Lots of respect for the creators, though. After the break since it ended up pretty long.

New Version of TTF and New Download Links

New TTF version, v8, which actually gives you some gameplay in the third trial, so you can see how it'll play out. It still stops once you get into the club (or should?), but at least now you can see what it looks like. Oh, and there's a lot of variation in that one interaction with the bouncer.

I also uploaded both TTF and Cursed to two more sites: 4Shared and Rapidshare, since it seems that Mediafire may in fact be breaking downloads. If you get the "RAGS file is unreadable" error, try another link. They're all on the right if you scroll down a bit.

Edit: There was an issue with TTF. Fixed and re-uploaded. Sorry about that.

Streaming For the Wins

Fun story: my wife asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday today, and I was forced to admit that I had forgotten it was my birthday. Apparently, turning 30 is no big deal?

Anyway, nothing else to do on my birthday but code. So that's what's going to happen. I'm hoping to get an incremental update out for TTF today: not a lot of new content, but since it hasn't had a release in two years, any news is good news, right?

Also, it appears that that "RAGS File is Unreadable" error might be because Mediafire keeps screwing up the download. So I'm going to upload to 4Shared and maybe another site (if I can find one that's free) in the hopes of correcting that. Later today.

Streaming again

Plenty of things to do today, so of course I'm going to brush them off and do something with Trials.

Just FYI, I will be pausing frequently to take care of laundry and dishes as they finish their cycles. I'll leave a note when such things occur.

Stream Time

I only have time for a couple of hours of coding, but that's still two hours more than I've been able to do for the last...what? Week? More? I don't have any concept of time at this point.

We'll see if I can find my notes and make any kind of progress here.

Edit: Well, it took half an hour to find my fucking notes (hate moving), but eventually I was able to get some work done. The bouncer at the beginning of the third trial is by far the most complicated character in it (except for the last two, but eh), so he's taking a while to get done.

...I miss the days when I could spend 4-6 hours working on games and not have to worry about shit.

I'm Not Going To Lie To You Marge...

Moving is hard.

No stream yesterday, no stream today...I suck at this!

Actually, no (well, maybe, but...), it's just hard to get back into the swing of things after uprooting your life and moving so very far away. There are a LOT of boxes that still need to be unpacked, insurance things that need to be dealt with, internet that's slow...

Things are coming together, but I was too ambitious with my Monday pronouncement. I'm going to try to aim for tomorrow for doing at least a couple of hours of work on TTF, mostly because I have just about everything set up in terms of paperwork and such now. It's just a matter of unpacking and finding a new job now.

Oh, and schoolwork. Hooray.

Anyway, no one cares about all that shit. tl;dr, streaming tomorrow.

Whoops

You know what I totally forgot to do before I went to Florida for a vacation?

Mention that I was going to Florida for a vacation!

Left on Saturday, just got back. It was for my wife's birthday, so, you know, kind of important. Anyway, I'm moving on Saturday, then unpacking on Sunday, but I should have some free time on Monday, so hopefully there'll be time for a stream.

Sorry about that.
