Jayenkai	The world around us is, quite frankly, fucked. In a bid to cheer myself up, and avoid watching the depressing news reports, I've been watching a lot of old Red Dwarf episodes, all week. What's your preferred method to cheer up? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Well, here's something to be pleased about - clones of Spike Dislike. Imitation, after all, is the sincerest form of flattery. Maybe. Or not. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/rolling-fire-ball/id1183629758?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 As for me, I'm only down when I'm at work (not really, I do enjoy my job, most of the time)

Jayenkai	6 years since the original.. I'm surprised there's not a bazillion clones of my most popular game. .. oh, it's because it isn't popular.. ... ...... that's not cheered me up!!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Just because something doesn't appear popular, doesn't mean it's not well liked by those that have played it. If someone went to the trouble of cloning your game, that means that they really enjoyed it.

Jayenkai	Yeah, I've grown quite fond of Spike over the years, enough that he's now ranking above even Greenie in my list of favourite characters I've created! The next SD game is currently in the "fermenting ideas in my head" stage of development. ... but that's off-topic! What cheers you up?? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Getting time to actually play a game or code. Seemples.

Jayenkai	Two things that cheer me up.. 1. Coding completely frivolous things that have no real purpose. See Flowers https://socoder.net/?snippet=57803 2. Composing completely frivolous pieces of music that have no real purpose. See CHOON https://soundcloud.com/alodare/journal-days -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	What cheers me up? Hugs. Hugs make everything better, 100% Chatting with my kids, particularly my lil girl, she says the weirdest things for a 3 year old and is all good! Finishing off making something. Anything really but mainly code as that's what I'm doing mainly nowadays. If there's nowt else to do I'll snuggle up on the sofa watching some anime with some anime, yay! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

rockford	Yeah, to be fair, there are loads of things that cheer me up - no one of them works in every situation though. eg while I sometimes do have spare time, I may not actually feel like coding or playing a game, but instead might want to walk my dogs or watch tv, read a book etc.

rskgames	Not watching and not reading the news definitely helps in keeping a cheerful mood. Playing games and reading comics helps to cheer me up.

Jayenkai	Nothing like News Quiz to help cheer you up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08c33j5 -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Afr0	My preferred method is to be creative. Write text or code, paint or draw. It tends to help. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

zzoom	Code, read, exercise, skating, gaming and a bit more coding. The news does generally blow goats these days. Netflix is good for escapism, right, I'm off for a bike ride -=-=- Happy coding!

Dabz	A good poo! Dabz

Jayenkai	Twitter seems a cheerier place, this morning. Seems everyone's in the same boat, of just trying to ignore the fact that the world's about to end. I'm glad of that.. Keep calm, and Goto 10 -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

zzoom	Weetabix is the answer, or maybe a hot curry.

steve_ancell	Yep Weetabix, with hot milk.
