Hey, that's pretty soon!

WIUX was the best official part of my college experience.

I uploaded images I made in the art game Become a Great Artist in Just 10 Seconds into another art game called The Catacombs of Solaris Revisited, where they can transform wildly as you shift between 2D and 3D perspectives. Here are some screenshots I took this morning. Very fun stuff!

johnflannelly.itch.io/opening Release Date: Friday, January 2nd, 2026 Free on itch.io Please share and look forward to it!

Making images in Become a Great Artist in Just 10 Seconds (dryad.technology/artist/) has become a daily practice over the past month or so, so I might as well make a thread and throw in a new one each day.

youtu.be/zTMbPBl1nII?... 🎃🎃🎃 I made a video in a day comparing impressions of the Irvington Halloween Festival in Indianapolis and the virtual Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival. 🎃🎃🎃

johnflannelly.itch.io/peace-simula... Really thrilled to have uploaded a game to the internet for the first time! Peace Simulator is my submission for this year's (Ennie Award winning) One-Page RPG Jam. @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

Hey! I wrote a review for the cool old video game Umihara Kawase Shun for a local zine. Check out the whole zine here: indyindies.itch.io/indy-indies-...

A tornado was within a two minute drive of the kids and I last night. Glad everyone is okay.

Currently filling out the FAFSA form which includes the mandatory question of what's the student's sex, male or female, with the information button leading to this 404. It does state that the question is used for research purposes only, but the let record state that I prefer not to answer.

These are both really, really good games that I probably sold to pay for rent at some point as a young adult.

I hope i saw the tv glow wins a lot of oscars tomorrow.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Sometimes it's soothing and grounding to read research articles that are related to things I go through [moreso healthcare but in an education setting.] It's easy to feel like you're going through it alone, but the results are in, and everyone else is too.

I've be struggling to comprehend how the sweeping disruptions to federal programs and mountain of executive orders is having a real-time effect on people here in Indianapolis. So I'm starting this thread to keep track of stories documenting the impact. Let's go.

www.wthr.com/article/news... A lot of evil and stupidity emanating from the new administration. Terms like biodiversity and tree equity were likely flagged by the algorithm. It's really dangerous to just do what an algorithm says and not check your work!

It's hard to take notes without some doodlebugs popping up, so here's the doodle detail of the day.

Billy Ocean really knew what was up. This music video is so interesting. youtu.be/tyrowWnlNnQ?...

Oh hey that's me! Thank you @tiltify.com!

The government is so tacky.

Thank you NTS Radio for always being exactly on the wavelength.

Found a way to expand the GDQ spirit in our house on this heavy morning. My son was inspired to play New Super Mario Bros Wii so I asked him who he wanted to raise donations for while he plays, and he chose "helping grandpa get more sleep in the morning." I sent a little $ to the local senior fund.

The single digits weather last Wednesday had me feeling a really intense ache and disorientation after just a few minutes outside. The next couple of days will get even more dangerously cold outside around here.

ATTENTION: I am starting a charity bundle to benefit victims of the Southern California wildfires. Game (and other) makers, please submit your projects so we can do some good. There is a call for submissions of projects through the 18th, please share widely! FAQ below: itch.io/jam/californ...

I just spent a little time regulating by placing stones on the Go board. Very soothing.

ANNOUNCING: Games & Resistance, a new podcast interview miniseries hosted by @chadtoprak.bsky.social and me. Episode 1, we interview Palestinian game dev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about his work, including his current project, Dreams on a Pillow games-and-resistance.pinecast.co/episode/0356...

PROCESSING This was my final project submission for Design Fundamentals. I evoked my psychic & emotional state on 3 consecutive nights while making abstract pixel art in Bitsy, modified & collaged in Paint 3D as one image. I'd like to try this method again & see how it turns out differently.

youtu.be/NdWDhvZFj4M?... Cornelius is so cool.
