heck yeah more rambles! \o/ first off how did you get electrocuted are you alright? second its really unfortunate that you didnt make it on the list for the jam out of all the games i had played for the jam yours was definitely one of my favorites, theres definitely some other great ones out there that i havent played yet though because holy cow there were so many submissions this year! i do really hope that for next years jam they either get more judges or at least have some sort of unified system that the games will be judged on to make sure that everyone has a chance because as you mentioned the way things were done this year didnt allow much room for the other categories to be celebrated like best ost if the whole ost isnt experienced then you cant really make a fair call on that. With the way things are done now it feels like alot of brilliant projects got overlooked so i really hope that things get better for next year. on the subject of RSD i never knew that was a thing and that there was like an actual name for it after reading that article i relate alot in ways that i wasnt expecting so i think i may actually have it too so thanks for that realization without it id probably just live the rest of my life without even knowing what was going on or thinking everyone's like that or something. big thaks for the rambles its always fun and interesting to hear you discuss things from the developers side of things.

I’m going to be a little bit lazy and just copy/paste what I’ve written in my reply to DoubleFree about the electrocution, haha.
I put that in there thinking that if anyone actually did read through the post, they would most likely not see that last bonus stat xD Other than a small scar on my lip from the convulsions where I was essentially biting myself, I’m all good from that experience, haha. Technically brought it on myself since I chose to be there and also chose not to utter the safe word despite the pain xD It was part of the fun and madness of a scare event I went to. Everything is done very safely and professionally. I’m just a stubborn idiot who would rather take the pain than give in and use safe words at stuff like that x3
So yeah, I brought that on myself pretty much, haha. I’m fine though :3 My dad was worried cos he said it can’t be good for you >.< but I trust that the people in charge know what they’re doing cos they’re very professional and serious about safety.
Glad you ended up enjoying the game, and knowing it was one of your favourites out of what you played means more to me than having a spot on the list anyways :3 But yeah, there were soooo many great games :D I still haven’t played all the ones I want to yet cos there were so many x3
With any luck, they will manage to get more judges for next year or something :3
Yeah, I can imagine that many people suffer with RSD but don’t know it >.< Like the person who wrote the article said, not everyone will identify with everything there, but some of it is likely to resonate with some people. I never would have imagined in a million years that it was a thing with a name x3 I just thought it was because of my ASD or that I’m just overly sensitive or something, haha. Cos I’ve always had really big emotions that are a lot to deal with because I feel uncomfortable expressing them to their full extent a lot of the time >.<
I think with anything related to mental health like that, just knowing that it’s a thing and that other people struggle with it too is immensely helpful cos it’s nice to know that you’re not alone and not completely crazy x3
Thank you for playing and for reading the post, it’s always much appreciated :3 Hope you take care and get to have a happy November in general!
