I played Obra Dinn a while back and absolutely loved it.

Before that I'd also played Papers, Please by Lucas Pope — at the time I only ever played offline games and didn't even know what Steam was, so he's basically the one who pulled me into this whole rabbit hole, if you can call it that.

I'm genuinely grateful, because otherwise I would never have run into so many wonderful indie games.

I like to draw a review after I finish a game. This one is in Traditional Chinese so most of you probably won't be able to read it — the gist is just a simple recommendation covering the story, the controls, the visuals and the music.

I'd only ever posted these on Steam, but I recently started using Reddit, so I thought I'd share it here too. Thank you so much for reading (・∀・)

This is my desktop pet ～let him introduce himself!

Hi everyone!

I've always loved Don't Starve, especially the adorable Catcoon that can be a pet in the game. Recently, I decided to collaborate with an AI to bring this character to life as my very own desktop companion. I named him Taro.

When he appears on my desktop, I still can't help but marvel at Klei's beautiful art direction and smooth animations.

As you can see in the demo, I designed Taro to explore everything on my desktop. And here's the cool part: because he can actually read and understand the files he encounters, he chats with me based on what he finds.

He reminds me not to sit for too long, digs through my chaotic bookmarks to find workout videos and encourages me to exercise. He even tracks my water intake and logs it to my Google Sheets. All of this is new to me since I'm not an engineer at all.

I've always dreamed of contributing to Don't Starve … I remember once wanting to make a mod because traveling between islands felt too long and I thought a bridge would be nice. But I never knew how to code. Somehow, this journey led me to create something completely unexpected: a desktop pet.

I'm genuinely thrilled about this and wanted to share it with all of you!

Thanks for reading this far!　(＾ω＾)

Hi everyone,

Ever since I saw Clawd, Claude's mascot, I thought he was so cute. I finally couldn't resist and made this little desktop pet, so Clawd can hang out next to me while I'm using Claude Code.

I drew the pixel art in Aseprite — this is my first time doing pixel animation, so I did my best to make it smooth. This is also my first time uploading to GitHub, which honestly feels like a maze. Luckily Claude Code walked me through it step by step.

Once you open Clawd, he sits on your desktop working alongside you and reacts to what Claude Code is doing with matching animations and speech bubbles (currently in Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and English).

Since I tend to sit for too long, I deliberately set it so that after 50 minutes of work, Clawd goes to rest for 10 minutes. (For those who want to keep going, you can give him a cup of coffee and he'll get back to work with you.)

Animations happen naturally as you work, but you can also trigger any of them from the system tray whenever you feel like seeing them.

If I draw new pixel art in the future, I'll keep updating it.

Windows only for now. Source: https://github.com/giefeefee/clawd
