I know so many trans folk who'd KILL to be ignorant about politics, just dopily shuffling their way through the world without ever having to scan a headline

I am probably learning the wrong lessons from the "success" of this throwaway post

Good movie

Here's the particular figure I was manipulating (and replicating). Quite a fetching curve, if I do say so myself.

I am so, so sorry, but I had to do this.

Pro tip: don't delete your prod database

OK, our latest bug has me exhausted: On specific brands of Android phone (e.g. Pixel 6 / 7 / 8 / 9, OnePlus 12 / 13) the latest Galaxy patch hangs when trying to log the user in via Google Auth. I've gone down the rabbithole for 2 days and desperate for new ideas. Tech details in 🧵.

Happy Punxsutawney Phil day from Once Upon a Galaxy! :)

Alt text: accessibility AND functionality! Who would ever think those ever overlap (hint: its always, they always overlap)

My entire career is as a software engineer, but I am not an engineer I am an artist who multiclassed into game design first and engineering second. Probably "producer" third? Trying to pull "musician" back up into the top three as we speak. "Writer" is in the top 10... Multiclassing is so broken

I don’t understand how people can just post all day long How do you put yourself out into the world with so little filtering (Case study: I have deleted far more words than I have typed for this post)

Was pondering giving upscrolled a look. When I saw their (lack of) moderation promises, I put that on hold… Looking like a good decision already 😎

definitely not me going back and changing "Dec 2026" to "Dec 2025" and "Jan 2025" to "Jan 2026" in multiple internal documents I wrote, nope

"Drinkable cards" ...ok pack it up, simulation's done, we in "Music you can eat" phase of The Good Place www.dexerto.com/gaming/drink...

fridays are great, three whole days of working on whatever i feel like in whatever order i feel like with no scheduling commitments

"I promise this will make sense at some point" I tell myself as I bash a bunch of level bits together

Sufficient endorphins achieved

I've lived this lie since the 80s and I still think programming is, on net, as magical as dragons :)

Bit of a rush job, and I'm still getting used to Procreate. But I think Chandra herself would agree.

this didn't really end up being pi/4 time but the final result was still way cooler than I would've predicted, this one definitely goes to 11 (my standard definition of "art" lol) www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dGo...

I am so

It was great to see all the Galaxy fans that came by @mtgnerdgirl.bsky.social's creator corner! It was an amazing time!

I struggle with this a lot Between the magic of estrogen and my attitude towards life I am often found with and even mistaken for those a decade younger “Youth is wasted on the young” but I’m gonna get my money’s worth I have SO MUCH LEFT TO DO with my life but sometimes my body has other ideas

Today I slayed a big batch of stress though! *joyous vagueposting* (some of my favorite kind)

I have deduced that one of my stress responses is to stop posting on BlueSky. Not sure what to do with that info yet.

On Twitter in 2016 I made a conscious call to split my magic and politics content, and it got such that folks didnt even know I was a priest and organizer. On bsky I decided to fuse the two because this is the world I live in. My numbers have suffered hugely but I can't play cards if I'm dead.

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

“Anxious/nervous/excited” can be hard to distinguish at the best of times When your nerves are fried from perpetual stress… they all merge into this amorphous blob of noise Imagine violins constantly screeching in your ears randomly You lose sight of the good melodies They are all high-strung

is this what a multiyear panic attack feels like

is there any better feeling than finally getting your frankencode to build

At most recent physics presentations, you'll get an illustration of the deformation of space due to gravitation that looks something like this (usually not as nice). Clearly topologically incorrect, but I don't think the people who theorize about the topology talk to animators all that often.

Everyone deserves to live in enough dignity and safety that they can have a surplus of joy in their lives. Then they are creating joy for others, creating positive feedback loops.

Hey now Sometimes I also skip the “tell everyone” part to save time

Godot would be my first choice for rapid prototyping, have poked at love2d, unreal, bevy, unity, etc It has good stuff for making animation sprites, scene graphs, and sprites that do nearest neighbor, non blurry, rendering youtu.be/M4wuhFgubWY?... Love2d's api is also very quick to get started

The project has a title card, ghere goes my free time 🤣

This very awesome article doesn't ever mention it but I'm claiming this as a ZZT/MegaZeux sighting! If I ever do get anywhere with a similar project again, I suspect it WOULD become a lifetime game. That's sort of my "retirement plan" tbh 🤫

Playing around a bit more with my random fracturing tech. #Blender #ProceduralArt #GeometryNodes #MotionGraphics

I knew there’d be challenges in being a self-employed indie dev, but trying to focus on creative work while my country falls to facism is one I never expected and is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

I seem to have placed a lot of pieces in motion this year. Today, even. We’ll see which ones survive. 2026 gonna be intense.

What’s the best game toolkit (engine+tools) to rapidly prototype a tile-based pixel-art game

We can work together to solve our biggest problems without agreeing on the way we solve them, or how we got here And we’re all gonna have to do that if we want to win, you know that right?

#GamePitch “Behind the Waterfall”: magic wand and bottles are your core mechanics, painting sigils, demon familiars, Sokoban, roaming cat merchants, waterfall magic, easiest fishing minigame ever, nonviolent zeldabrania

random side project doodles read or read not into anything as you like, baseless speculation is all the rage these days anyways might as well be in service of the arts

Easy top3 game designers with most influence on my craft: - Tim Sweeney - Mark Rosewater - Richard Garfield Not sure who else comes even close. Miyamoto maybe?
