Monthly Update: Eyedrops Edition

Added 2024-07-30 20:49:45 +0000 UTC

Time flies and another month passes by, so it's time for the good, old monthly update! Most previous posts for a while now have been about my struggles with my eyesight and this post is no different. However, there are some good news. As mentioned in previous update, my eye operation went pretty well and things have been improving ever since. My left eye still gets tired and dry from straining it too much, but it's pretty close to normal now. It's probably never going to be as good as it used to be, but at least I didn't lose the whole eye, so this is a relatively good result to me. I have already started to read again as a hobby, although only physical books, as staring at a monitor still gives my eyes a hard time if done too long. I can also do my day job again without any eye-patch trickery, which is good as it's pretty much 100% staring at a computer screen all day. Some eyedrops with quick pauses and I often barely notice the issue anymore.

If things don't regress, this means it's soon time to dig out the Offcuts 0.4 from the depths of my hard drive and do a release once I manage to give it a final read-through and maybe some tweaks. So, hopefully expect more good news in the next update of even before it. With any luck, I can also continue fleshing out some new ideas I have been thinking of during this long, long pause. One of my options was to retire after releasing Offcuts 0.4 if my eyesight issues persisted, but it looks like I might not have to, at least for now.

As always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until Offcuts 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then). Thanks for your endless patience!
