Economist, music lover, guitar player. I make fun infographics out of song lyrics. I also run the website

If you are able, go see Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass on their current tour. That was one of the most fun shows I have ever seen.

I love seeing excited pets when their owners return home from an extended absence.

I bet you have seen at least one YouTube video of dogs getting excited when their owners come home from a long absence. I imagined the scenario involving a pelican. With help from Grok, I present to you

I now have a video game for sale. It is called Blubber Buggy. Here is the setup: You're late. The list is long. The aisles are chaos.

Hop on your mobility scooter and navigate a massive big-box grocery store — think Walmart at 5pm on a Friday. Race against the clock to grab every item on your list and make it to checkout before time runs out.

The catch? There's food everywhere, and eating it gives you power-ups. Speed boosts. Tighter turns. Caffeine surges. But every snack you eat makes your scooter wider and harder to steer. By the time you're on your fifth donut, you're barely fitting through the aisle.

That's the blubber system — and it's the heart of every run.

Features:

5 escalating levels across two store layouts — classic quadrants and aisle-style runs
Three difficulty modes: Casual, Normal, and Chaos
Food power-ups with real trade-offs: coffee, donuts, pizza, hot dogs, and salad (to slim back down)
Wet floor spills, NPC shoppers with carts, and display pyramids to knock over
Star ratings based on time — 3 stars if you're fast, 1 star if you're a disaster
Manager's Special events that shake up each run
Built for mobile — plays great on iPhone and Android in your browser, no install needed
How to play: Navigate with the on-screen joystick. Grab items by pressing the GRAB button when you're in range. Get to checkout. Do it faster next time.

A fast, funny, replayable arcade game you can pick up in 30 seconds and put down 45 minutes later.

You can find the game here: https://t.co/gtuynxNnZu
