Released v0.5.1 last night! Learning a ton about #godot as I go! aebrer.itch.io/backrooms-po... The entire core game loop is now in place, you can level up, find items, explore the infinite backrooms, fight monsters, die, and get a high score!

just started having recency bias and i love it. easily the best bias

My latest #genart piece: CORAL HUNTING entropist.ca/works/coral-... it's on @objkt.com this time, live version hosted there and on my personal website (data hosted on IPFS naturally) #CC0, open source etc. Heavily inspired by but eventually evolved away from "Device 1" by @ertdfgcvb.xyz

@ertdfgcvb.xyz hey :) I am working on a new piece and I used Device 1 as inspo for some webgl rendering code and some of the ASCII symbol palette. I'm curious if you like it and also if I can have your permission to publish it: entropist.ca/WIP.html

The website/gallery is getting super polished! entropist.ca/works/petite... I now have per-page social media previews working :))) #genart #generative #creativecoding #entropylocking

aebrer.xyz/works/beginn... Finally working on my homepage. Going to make it a detailed gallery of my art. Context and commentary provided. Claude is helping me in the role of archivist, and its behaviour may or may not be getting a little weird the more it understands from the codebase as we go

AHhhhh I missed RBGMTL this year FMLLLLLLLLLL 😭😭😭

#VSS365 I will admit to being a bit nervous. The administrator had warned me that it would be "quite #pungent"... but it was a reward for good behavior, how bad could it be? Deliberately not thinking about past rewards, my shaking hands twisted the cap off the bottle, and I immediately blacked out.

#VSS365 Finally, the data was laid out in front of me, and patterns swam in front of my eyes. The longer I looked the more I felt I could sense something #malignant behind the pattern of "random" disappearances. Firstly, each happened next to an HVAC vent. Secondly, they seem to be coming closer.

Nut ran jovial.exe. The Sphinx lay melted across her keys like warm butter. Each keystroke birthed silver scarabs that burrowed nightly through sand, balling up binary sadnesses. The desert swallows code whole. Don’t worry, she once told me, it's all recursive. #vss365 #𓏌𓏏𓇯 #jovial

He was first in every morning and last out every night. Monday he'd email everyone his weekly quiz and Friday he'd be first on the karaoke. He made work fun and his #jovial outlook was infectious. It was only HR that realised he never took time off. Only the B&B that knew he never went home #vss365

#VSS365 #jovial Running between pillars, frantic. Dodge falling debris, avoid tripping. My mantra pounds in my head like a heartbeat. I see a narrow service corridor, and I sprint through on my last breath. I glance back, and see it for the first time: a jovial mask obscuring an inhuman face.

#VSS365 A field of flowers, scents flowing. It almost feels like I'm back on the surface, outside. Close my eyes and imagine a wind not associated with a clanking semi-sentient HVAC system with more attitude than my maternal grandmother. As if summoned, I feel a cold breeze like a premonition.

“Gran was #audacious,” I said in the eulogy, sharing her wildest quips. The room shifted uncomfortably. I smiled. She was still making them squirm. Then came a familiar laugh. I don’t think anyone else heard it, but it was enough to make me continue her good work… #vss365

#VSS365 "BE #AUDACIOUS" the door said. No handle, no knob. Just a slight recess in the tile wall with a steel shutter pulled down. I can't even see if there's a camera or something. I'm standing in front of the door, dressed like this, and all I can think is: "I hope I don't have to do a dance."

@countlessnights.bsky.social bug: (when using a controller) roll the dice (on the map) only lets you press A to confirm, doing so triggers another roll immediately

#VSS365 #bass I stood in the cozy sunroom, feeling a sneeze build from the pollen, and hearing only the buzzing cicidas and the murmurs of somber mourners shuffling around the house. In front of me, my nemesis. Big Mouth Billy Bass. My finger hovers over the red button, but I know he's already dead

@countlessnights.bsky.social hello! Been crushing it lately, but noticed a possible bug. When you make an ivory dice eternal it still gets discarded even though it says it can't be discarded.

#VSS365 #malformed I dipped my brush once more into the dirty pot of ink. It's barely ink to be honest, more like a thick crusty paint. Blackened and malformed, the blood in it hasn't mixed well. My heart races as I paint the final lines of the pattern across my arm. This time I know it will work.

#VSS365 #reek A fallen tree, a corpse of a giant. Reeking, rotting, transforming. Decay, rebirth. Decay, rebirth. The small creature is drawn closer, by the smell, hungry. When it leaves, it too will reek of death.

Straight up feeling like online discourse is so decroded at this point there's like no point to even engage Watching people argue about something I'm an expert in and both sides are wrong has been illuminating (AI)

@countlessnights.bsky.social love this game, best dice game since dicey dungeons IMO one point of feedback: When the boss is "the even" or "the odd", I have no idea why all my dice are getting zeroed out, even the ones that seem to be matching the requirement. It kills my run EVERY time.

the first conspiracy.

A #haiku Moth flies past streetlights, Drawn up to the glowlit clouds, Where no moon keeps watch.

I swear I'm gonna make something soon it's just I've been reading The Wandering Inn and I'm 67% done after a couple months of INTENSE reading so I really can't stop yet you see... this is an investment if you think about it really, and in the rest of this essay I intend to demonstrate why this serie

Still alive, just head down focused on things. Still making art just nothing I want to publish right now. Love y'all and stay safe out there.

No wonder modern democracy is dying, I just voted and they didn't even give me a sticker that says "I voted!"

IMO Wonderville is *the* North American gallery of Pico-8 games/art. Moreso games than art but hey maybe one day ;) If you're a #pico8 dev, submit your game! It's an easy process and it's REALLY cool to see your stuff on display in NYC :) (especially if you have a friend to go take a pic haha)

Dealing with the most snow in maybe 20 years of my life.

Incredible snapshot of the weird future we're gonna have

Hello fellow Canadians Keep your heads up we got this 👊🍁 Buddy is about to realize he doesn't know shit about Canadian culture

"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.

Canada and Mexico about to eliminate the middle man

@hexler.bsky.social delivers this week - this now means *every* platform TouchOSC supports has native multi-touch, so iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and now Linux. And that means SteamDeck (among others)... Should soothe anyone upset about the pricing of rival Lemur earlier this week...

#OnPoli Ford getting roasted by satire news site The Beaverton: www.thebeaverton.com/2025/01/ever... The sad part is it's not even satire, everything in here is factually correct.

Hey #booksky Just finished reading the Cradle series by Will Wight. Definitely recommend it for fans of series where the mc and friends go from weak to strong in a believable and natural way.

Lovebyte is all about #sizecoding. What is it exactly? Make graphics / sounds with extremely short code. Dec2024 coders came together to celebrate Tiny Code Christmas: an initiative to promote sizecoding, mostly to newcomers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajOX... Web: tcc.lovebyte.party #tic80 #pico8

Attended the January meetup for Creative Code Toronto last week, which was awesome. I was also able to give a short talk about Entropy Locking, the technique I exploit in most of my generators. Check it out if you want to know more about Entropy Locking! youtu.be/YdBr_9pmVXg?... #genart #pico8
