bitsy game jam submission at wonderville
another game jam at wonderville. there quite fun, as a non-designer. as with last game jam submission, my work on this was mostly writing: a heavily worldbuilt absurd world, with more connections and resonances than you’d ever need. give it a look below:

MOVING WEEK. THIS WEEK I HAVE BEEN PACKING UP ALL MY THINGS. BOOKS WERE VERY QUICKLY INACCESSIBLE
Writing
listened to a real long text-to-speech mp3 of The Girl, a revision strategy. i think its basically done, but i gotta fix a lot of typos. also did some self-translation and got notification of acceptance to a mag. ill post info here when that’s public
Other projects
little bit of ants. did a game jam over the weekend, oughta post my work up here soon
Books
very little reading, compared to my baseline. most of my books are in boxes, most of my free time’s been spent putting things in boxes
Other
predominantly:
- podcasts, while moving. they require the perfect amount of focus, aka ‘slight’
- Case of, Rise of the Golden Idol, on breaks, to fall into wonderful puzzling trifles of delight
i also watched blues brothers for the first time ever; it is bad
2025-14 weekly post
got access to a new apartment this week, so really started moving in earnest. we got an overlap in leases (call me mr. money, its alright), so its been a daily back and forth, cleaning and bringing small things across town
Writing
scattered yet productive. working at random on shorts, touched The Revolution the one day I had time
Other projects
i fixed up the posts page on here to have pagination AND full post content, like a beautifully crowded stream, like a model of the gunky mississippi; tried for some reason to learn NixOS, i dont know why, probably cause im moving and thus swinging around in my mind
Books
gave up on a william vollman book (too much lol), trying to read more japanese
Other
white lotus finale, white lotus finale, white lotus finale

this week was another allergy week. turns out im allergic to cats. i have two cats, and have for years. i have become a weaker person now!
Writing
typed up a revision of my buffalo story and submitted it. let’s hope it goes well
also worked on some translations and just the littlest bit of revisions for The Revolution. as stated above: a weak of allergies (get it? get it?), which i may just have to adapt to now
Other projects
tryna learn nginx stuff to rehost a few websites, getting back into the fun of the pico ants. overall, calm but steady
Books
normal patterns. the new html review came out and i adored new legibility from it
Other
been playing some ufo 50 again, now that im mostly done with the zelda; started watching belgian de mol; caught up with White Lotus and cringed in the corner of my sofa
Assistant, by Shigesato Itoi
my translation of the second story of 夢で会いましょう [Meet Me in a Dream] by Haruki Murakami and Shigesato Itoi, not guaranteed to be accurate. see the intro post to read more!
- An assistant mustn’t eat any pastry their employer’s set aside for later.
- An assistant mustn’t turn away clients because their employer finds them beautiful.
- An assistant mustn’t toss their employer’s stale tea away on their own discression.
- An assistant mustn’t use word such as “like” or “um” when speaking to their employer.
- An assistant musn’t wish for a nicer chair or salary than their employer.
- An assistant mustn’t add the term ‘manager’ to their business card.
Given all this, from now till the end of time, I do not intend t become an assistant.
