It is the year 2025. After a hard day at work I like to sit back and decipher the news of the day by analyzing the commentary of a celebrity menswear writer. Our President, a suspected pedophile, has appointed a man with brain worms to run the CDC. They have decided Tylenol causes autism.

Today's phrase is: "delightfully frosted ventral details"

If you need a list of weird animals for some reason... Followers of sci-fi author extraordinaire Adrian Tchaikovsky have got you covered.

this one is my favorite so far.

What? What do you mean? Of course I am very fun at parties. At least, the kind of parties where people like to talk about how they spent their Sunday working through the math for coiling chain around a drum... #screenshotsaturday #godot #halyard

there's a collection of mexican indie dev games up on steam right now. i love finding out about game dev studios like this :)

someday i hope to bring to justice the product manager who decided that my operating system should search the open web, a thing I never want, when I am looking for things on my computer.

aww yeah. it's decorative gourd season, motherfuckers.

Subtly downgrade a band: Squashing Pumpkins

A twenty six million watt wind turbine. It's hard to put the scale into perspective. The London "Shard" is about the size of one of those blades. Incredible stuff. Just incredible.

Would love to see Bob Igar fired by the Disney board. Disney Magic is possible if everyone walks away fast enough.

It’s time for some good news! 🌱🌍 (a thread, 1/3)

Apropos of nothing, this is the second time today Sarah Bernhardt has come across my attention. Previously, at the NYC Library, this poster by Alphonse Mucha.

Deutsche komposita of the day: "Frühstücksangst"

the now. #godot

got to talk with someone about my short time as a pipe organ repairman.

the history of this giant lily and its influence on architecture is an interesting one. this was my first time seeing them outside. nicholaswells.com/blogs/blog/t...

happy hunting lil'guy

Going to Longwood Gardens today. The first time I tried to go it was closed because and escaped prisoner was hiding out on the grounds. The second time was in the middle of winter. It was beautiful, but the out door gardens were a little less colorful. Now, the new palmhouse extension is open :)

hits a bit differently in the current climate.

recently, my partner and i went to an incredible theatre show that featured a show within a show involving head lice on a victorian society lady's powdered wig. www.stringandshadow.com 10/10.

as i approach 50 the idea of a garden, a cat, and small group of friends to ponder about the workings of the universe with is the pinnacle of luxury. my ideal vacation is visiting a palm-house. preferably one with a lepidopterarium.

godot 4.5 is out :) i've been working on dev builds for the last month and I can say that it definitely worth the wait for the stability improvements alone!

gonna print this one out and hang it on a wall in my dev studio.

i've been having an %$^& difficult time getting through silksong on the switch (just managed to beat Moorwing), and so as an exercise I edited my save file on the PC version to start out with 2x damage and... the game becomes comically easy. just breezed through to Sister Splinter in under an hour

This artist makes elaborate felt monsters and their work is delightful.

we are on a very dark path now.

Looking at this picture and try not to hear Weird Al challenge: Impossible.

"ghosts speak latin, naturally. it's a dead language."

woke up this morning to rain outside. i'm so happy right now :)

As an insect nerd, this article was a wild, wild ride.

this country feels like a box of matches in a room full of pyros right now

That's some great FFT ocean simulation work right there.

trying to teach myself github actions so i can do release deployment. present me would rather eat glass, but future me is gonna be super happy about it.

Added chain rendering and resizing rope from either end to my rope library. github.com/mikest/halyard #halyard #godot #addons #indiedev

my partner this morning in bed: "the existence of a github implies the existence of a gitwife"

we should celebrate the passing of monsters.

every day about a third of my brain is occupied with the tension between "leave for a country where people care about each other" and "stay and care about people here." tbh, if i didn't have to pack boxes i'd already be long gone.

Incredible stuff. Just incredible.

I took @abigbat.bsky.social ‘s illustration workshop over the past couple months to try to level up my painting game. It was a great experience, well worth checking out. Here’s my final, a cattle wrangler on her diamondback mount #ttrpg #illustration #fantasy #western

Added anchors, dock line casting and a foghorn to my little harbor 🥰 youtu.be/3zpuTRqccEI

Let them gallop around the house in peace.

in case anyone was wondering how to set up release automation for godot projects in github, this article seems to be pretty extensive: capscollective.com/blog/godot-g...

Forgetting to unmoor the dock lines is consequence free in my game 🥰 #halyard #godot

SCOTUS is no longer interested in interpreting the Constitution and is now just a nakedly partisan agent of our dictators will. ...and free states should ignore their rulings with prejudice.

added first draft of physics collisions to my rope library. #godot #addons #halyardlib

"necropants."

my rope library has increased in spookiness by 100% #godot #rope #halyard #addons

Oof. Yeah. That's probably the reason. Silksong is "Cuphead" levels of frustrating at the moment.
