What's with Salted Caramel?
When did that start?
And why does EVERYTHING have it, nowadays?
What's going on??!
About an hour ago, mum lit her Salted Caramel Yankee Candle, which came with her Advent Calendar, and I must admit, it's quite a lovely scent.
Smells like Treacle Toffee.
I reckon the Treacle Toffee people got sick of only being bought around Bonfire Night, and rebranded the stuff to sell it all year round.
Much like my Advent Collexions, which seem to be getting plenty of attention at GameJolt, post Advent! Glad I made them so they're simply collections after Xmas!!

; GameJolt Client
Over at GameJolt, they've launched a Steam-Like desktop client.
The basic framework is a boring looking app with an integrated browser.
However, you can also use it for automatically downloading updates of Indie games, as well as (and here's the bit that interests me!) selecting your favourite developer, and automatically getting their newest games installed, without doing a thing.
.. or at least, that's what I've been told it'll do, anyway.
Not all the pieces are in place for that, quite yet, but hopefully it won't be too long until AGameAWeek becomes an automatic download

Celebrity Deaths
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I forgot to add Lemmy to last week's newsletter.
To be fair, we've missed a whole load of deaths in our gap year, and if I added them all here, it'd be a pretty damn depressing list.
Bah, humbug.
RIP Lemmy

Also, the guy who played the Mayor in Ghostbusters.
