TIFUpate: allowing my coworker to set me up

TIFU by releasing my Halloween game...after Halloween...

So this fuck up is currently ongoing, and might be saved by a miracle, but I doubt it.

I have been working my nards off on a fun cute little indie game called Consume Thy Flesh: The Pumpkin Smashing Sim.

You roll your gargantuan gourd over moonlit rooftops, and hurl yourself into a group of trick r treaters, exploding your candy filled insides for their consumption!

Sounds a little silly and morbid, right? It sounds like a fun little formula that could get some laughs and internet attention, right?

Well, I worked by myself diligently for weeks, over 8 hours a day to get this finished.

Hell yeah! Right?

Well, I put the game up on Itch.io a few days ago. That took all of 10 minutes.

However, the real goal was learning how to publish on Steam. The publishing process was way more involved than you'd think, but I got it figured out.

I'm smiling ear to ear, and extremely proud of what I had done...unit I get to the end of the process...

THE FUCK UP:

"GAMES CAN BE PUBLISHED 2 WEEKS AFTER APPROVAL"

Excuse me?

Wait, so I have to submit my game for approval, and then wait another 2 fucking weeks to let the game go live?

I seriously swear to God I searched Steam's publication process, and nothing I found stated the two week wait time haha. I really thought I had this planned out, and going smoothly...

Well,the good news is that the game was approved and the page is up.

The other slightly good news that may save my ass, is that I contacted Steam directly, and am now begging for a pre-Halloween release haha.

So yeah, I am really proud of all of the work I did, and everything I learned along the way, but I still totally fucked up.

Granted, if you are a game dev, or in the development scene, you know a lot of games are really unsuccessful. Some only get a few hundred downloads and nothing more, even with marketing and streamers promoting it.

I would have gladly accepted that, but I do know that releasing a holiday game on its intended holiday would help haha.

Here's to hoping the project and what I learned at least opens up some doors for me.

TL;DR: Worked my ass off on getting a Halloween holiday themed game published before Halloween. Steam requires a 2 week waiting period to go live, thus probably killing its potential.

Edit: Am I allowed to post links?

TIFU almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by fucking my coworker

Happened a couple of days ago, but yeah, as the title says... Oops... We've worked together for about a year now; we've always been friendly, but I never really clocked her as a potential romantic option; she's my coworker, she had a boyfriend when we started working together, and to be honest I just thought she was completely out of my league: I'm a schlub and she is gorgeous So when she texts me asking if we want to hang out after work, I genuinely thought nothing untoward would happen; I thought we were just going to chill and watch cartoons; and for a while we were just having a nice platonic hangout. But we got very drunk, and eventually she was giving me the bedroom eyes and saying we should make out. I very emphatically said that was a bad idea, but she kissed me anyway, and at that point I really lost any semblance of self-restraint.. I am not proud of myself, at all. I can tell myself that she came onto me, but ultimately I also comepletly let it happen. No...

TIFU by shopping on Amazon

So I have an Amazon account, and a family. Anyhow, the person I'm seeing likes to do things with me... try new things if you know what I mean 😏 Recently I've ordered a few packages with adult toys, swing, etc. And... clone a willy. It came in yesterday while I was out. While I was out I got a notification that the cloning kit came in. I sent my son a text asking him to bring my Amazon package in. He said he had already. I didn't think much of it. Until last night when I went to go... use it. I asked my son where the package was on my way out the door. He asked "The plant stand or the cloning kit?". Mind you, the boxes DO NOT say what the contents are, nor were they opened. He must have realized what he said because my face is a goddam story book. I just stood there silent and shocked. He pointed towards the closet. This has been going on for ages, but he has NEVER indicated knowing what's in the packages. So now my teenage son knows his mom is a freak. ...
