After many months tinkering in the proverbial workshop, I'm ready to share the first demo of Redlander!

Gluten-free pancake mix from scratch, with cinnamon, cashews, and some bittersweet dark chocolate chunks.
Sauce is pears and raspberry, simmered with a vegan butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Blended it up, and served it with runny fried eggs and unsweetened non-dairy yogurt.
My food isn't always pretty, but it's tasty!
Correction: It was 45 bug bites from an hour's hike by the river.
(I can tell, because even when I don't scratch them, they swell to a bump the the size of a quarter.)

I was expecting it'd be made of something soft and cheap like pine, but after tasting it*, I'm thinking it was maple or beech?
(* A field biology class had us learning to ID trees in winter by tasting shavings of their inner bark. Not a skill I get to practice much, so I use it when I can.)
I have put all my music up on a little html streaming page at https://selfsamegames.com/beats/ give it a listen!
Yesterday at a viewing I almost ripped into a landlord for saying "they just aren't building properties fast enough" like Jesus fucking christ that's wrong on so many levels.
A) there's ten times the amount of vacant properties in Dublin than there are homeless people
B) landlords and estate agents (like this guy) are intentionally leaving properties vacant to create artificial scarcity so they can charge 1500€ a month and more for shitty studio apartments
C) We actually need to build less, or build higher density accomodation (i.e. building quality apartment blocks instead of suburban semi detacheds) because Dublin's urban sprawl is so bad it's reaching outside county lines now to form one endless hell suburb
I was invited to [Big Prestigious Film Festival] for a project I made, and I'm probably supposed to be more excited about it, or ready to jump at the chance to network professionally.
But TBH I'd rather just let people engage with my work instead of me, not spend money I don't have, and stay home in my little workshop?
Like, I know this is a rare opportunity, and also how people secure future work, and all that.
But heat wave/pandemic notwithstanding, I don't think I'd enjoy it? Industry hobnobbing events like this just seem expensive and exhausting, and I'm not the sort who could take good advantage of 'em.
Somehow I'm simultaneously shocked and deeply unsurprised that Unity laid off hundreds of employees, then immediately partnered with a company known for making malware delivery tools.
I would blame Unity going publicly traded on the stock market 2 years back... but even Unity's investors are freaking out about this?
I just do not understand why they're so intent on crashing and burning as hard as possible.
