HAM

A 2-post collection

Shrink Day

I'm seeing my shrink today to see if I still have a brain in my fluffy little noggin. I'm guessing yes.

I'm gonna bring along the iPad because I actually committed some art between visits and there's a chance I might get struck with inspiration during the natter.

My priority list for the HAM when I can fit it in are:

  3. Second attempt at RPG maker
  4. Further education in Java
  5. Initiate education in idle game-making
