Out of action
Hey Patrons
Just wanted to give you a quick heads up that I, uh, tripped over while chasing a child (not as creepy as that sounds), landed on my elbow, and fractured it.
I now have my arm in a sling and that is certainly not conducive to making videos or games. I’m not very fast typing with one arm, because I’m old (the same reason why “running a little fast” can lead to a fractured elbow).
So I’ll take some time to let this thing heal. I can do some video research as I need to watch tonnes of videos and talks for the next episode. And then hopefully I’ll be able to get back to it later in the month.
Thanks for your patience and support!
Mark

Get well soon!
Get well soon
And you had to do it leading into April 1st!
I wish you a speedy recovery.
get well soon!
I wish you a swift recovery! At least now you get people to write/draw on your cast, and an easy conversation starter. Take care, Mark!
Wishing you all the best, Mark, that is very painful news. I winced when I read it!
Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a bitch
Hope you have a quick recovery Mark!
I also once fractured my elbow by tripping. I wasn't chasing a child, through. I just didn't see a pipe. Get well soon!
1) Ouch! Rest and mend well. 2) We're not the boss of you; I'm here to support the existence of GMTK at whatever pace and scope you see fit, because the work has merit and adds value to the world and my life and I want it to continue as long as you're willing and able (whatever the pace and whenever you post!). Please don't feel the need to report your absence, but thanks for the heads up all the same.
Wishing for a complete and wholesome recovery!
Ouch! Sorry to hear that :( As someone who recently discovered he's old by having the great idea of challenging my teenage godson to a running race with a pretty embarrassing result (ending with a limp for some two months until fully recovered :P), I wish you a very speedy recovery. Please, take the time you need to rest and come back fully charged :)
Take your time Mark, get well soon.
So sorry to hear, Mark! Please give yourself the rest you need to recover. Also, if like me you are over 30 Do NOT neglect physiotherapy to rehab the injury once it’s healed enough for that to be safe. Start it as soon as you can and stick with it! Physio is not fun, BUT it’s not nearly as unpleasant as years of chronic pain and/or loss off range of motion 😅
Gravity Meets Terrible Kinematics! 😅 get well soon
Take as much time as you need to heal and recover! All your viewers and fans will understand. Don't push yourself too hard. ❤️
Bugger! Please rest up and heal.
Get well mark!
Get well soon Mark!
Ouch, take care! And damn those childlren!
Wish you a quick recovery!
I havent broken or fractured a bone but I know its definetly serious. Good luck and get well soon.
Good thing there is always more videos to watch.
Take car of yourself!! And yeah, it's time to test out some pillows! Maybe see if you are good at reading ebooks or listening to ebooks. :)
It could be an opportunity to test game accessibility to impaired people. Xbox Adaptive Controller is the first thing coming up in my mind thinking about this but there could be better solutions. Or you could just rest for once and relax! :)
Wish you a quick recovery!
Oh no, take care of yourself!
get well soon, Mark!
Get well soon !
Ow, noooes! Pesky children always out to hurt you.. 😉 Hope you recover quickly! No rush on our count.
"I can do some video research as I need to watch tonnes of videos and talks for the next episode." - Sure you can, and feel free to do so. But you could also, you know, take a break and just watch what you want to watch during that time. (For an intrinsically motivated person the result might even be similar, just with a better recovery on top...)
Take care and get well. But old ... 😉
I once broke my arm, too. More precisely, my wrist. I wanted to scare my classmate by jumping out of the door, but karma caught up with me before I could do anything. Get well soon, Mark
Had similar issue 3 years ago, be very thorough with the physical therapy (btw I was able to play games with a controller, but couldn't work, so maybe you can start working on your backlog when you feel better haha). Get well soon
Ah pal, I'm sorry! REST UP
Take care of yourself! Hope you'll be fine!
Hope it heals quickly!
Oh no! Hope you make a speedy recovery!
Get well soon! Yeap, on a bright side, it's a good time for research, testing accessibilty in games, your tools and maybe optimizing the hell of your process!
And also don't forget to rest!
Get well soon Mark!
get well soon :3
More seriously, though, get well soon!
Oh No! Hope the elbow recovers soon and you can find lots of fun 'one hand' friendly games in the meantime
Get well soon !!! Hope all is good
So you are over 30 too? 🤣
Game Maker’s Medkit incoming!
Now’s the perfect time for you to speedrun Dark Souls 2 hitless and blindfolded!
Good luck with recovery!
