strange weather 🌧️☀️ a smooth jazz album! on bandcamp, streaming, etc louiezong.bandcamp.com/album/strang...

Going to be hanging out around Yerba Buena for GDC most of tomorrow! If anyone wants to say hi, chat about #Godot, or anything else, send me a message! Love meeting the fellow devs and UCSC grads there every year

@megacrit.com Hoax Merchant fight probably my favorite event in game right now - although probably should fix that saving and quitting rerolls the Hoax relic reward ;)

github.com/godotengine/... This port for #Godot 4 was easier than I expected, and I measured a 2-3x performance improvement in the good cases! Can be much better integrated from here, but a good start.

My friend and I play Hearthstone Battlegrounds at least once a week because it scratches a cooperative card game itch like no other - so I’m hooting, hollering and cheering for Slay the Spire co-op! Can’t wait to get accused of throwing for forcing claw build

Godot 4.7 dev snapshot now has DrawableTexture! This will be super useful!

The first #Godot release with Drawable Textures is HERE! AHHHHHH Extremely pumped to see what people do with these (also very ready for a lot of feedback.) If you see this and play with these at all, tag it #GodotDraws - I'd love to be able to follow everyone's work!

Big TV watching week, both Wonderman and Pluribus were delightful! Both funny, well paced, and very thoughtful. That said, if The Bear is eligible for comedy awards, I think Pluribus should be too - lots of moments had me busting up

Opened another Godot PR, refactoring AnimatedTextures! Was more straightforward than I anticipated, and behaves better in a few ways now github.com/godotengine/...

So I wanted to make a Pokemon ROM hack right? But oops, the DS hacking tools are frustrating to use on my machine, so it’s time for me to make my own tool with Godot. But oops, a few Godot features I wanted to use didn’t work right, guess I need to contribute to Godot now! Etc, etc…

EXTREMELY pleased to have finally had my DrawableTextures PR merged into #Godot! This is a significant feature I took a lot of time developing, and I’m so excited for people to get their hands on it in the first builds of 4.7 - and especially to admire cool new tech art this makes possible

I'm in here again! My DrawableTextures PR was a little too big to be reviewed in time, but I squeezed a few more bug fixes in. Excited to update my editor!

I'm sure someone much smarter than me has a good reason for this, but it took me longer than I wanted to solve an issue created by this inconsistent bit arrangement. Baseline/Bottom are alternately 11 and 01 despite being enumerated in the same order. Funny #godot quirk I guess!

With the official artworks shared, I finally put all the new Mega Evolutions on Pokerating.com! Excited to see some new #pokemon hot takes come in.

Game said “sorry for 400 runs on Zygarde. Have Beast Ball Heatran in 12”

14 Phases, a month of trying, in the range of 180-190 Successful catches, and probably nearly 400 Dynamax Adventures, I HAVE ACHIEVED TOOTHPASTE LIZARD. Had to turn down a Shiny Vaporeon for it though, tough choice ;) #shinypokemon #pokemon

Special guy hatched today, Egg #273

Officially 100% Silksong - what a spectacular game. I think I give it 9/10 due to some rough balancing, and the ending not feeling as grand/satisfying as the original, but that doesn't detract from it being an absolute joy to play. Sheerly stunning in scale, and packed with constant surprise.

My name is in here! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/ Pretty small because I only got two fixes into #Godot 4.5, but the big feature I'm working on should be in 4.6 Development in a few weeks! Proud to be working hard alongside so many other cool names.

I too have reached this point, and share the sentiment

Silksong might not get funnier than my friend being in disbelief as I discover not one, but TWO whole new zones hidden behind breakable walls in areas he’d already traversed

Puppy’s looking to order something

Friend and I chatting on discord as play Silksong (WHAT A GOOD GAME) and I mishear something he says as “Spin Jump”. Now all our conversation centers around the mythical spin jump power up. If only I could find it.

This long read in The Verge does a remarkable job of describing how Wikipedia's editing community works, the project's strengths and weaknesses, and the threats it faces. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

Finally played the perfect game of battlegrounds duos. Buddy and I queued up, knocked this one out, called it for the night.

They don't want you to know this, but you can watch an unboxing video in reverse as a reminder how to pack the object back up for moving.

I was ready to write off Rick&Morty season 8 as disappointing, but those final 3 episodes were really strong. The finale especially, the show at it's best

Word Play is out now! store.steampowered.com/app/3586660/...

Finished a week or so ago, but Deltarune is an extremely good video game! Incredibly paced story, no idea how it'll be topped after this. All the secret bosses really good too, beat CH2 secret in only 3 tries, but CH4 secret easily my favorite.

Snagged this banana god. Yelped. Now to admire him in a box forever! #shinypokemon

Finished in time for my Switch 2! Except I haven’t managed a pre-order yet, oops

With large machines caught, I have finaaaaalllly completed my Legends Arceus Alpha dex! ZA cannot come soon enough

She’d really appreciate it if I gave her my Parmesan cheese snack

CALDORAN has been defeated, bringing me to 8/8 Scarlet Enclave in #ClassicWoW. Probably my favorite fight in there, it's an AWESOME ride. Also had 29 people, and barely killed under each timer, have no idea how groups of 20 do it LMAO

Lillian Voss DOWNED, bringing me to 7/8 Scarlet Enclave, and 4/8 TierScarlet. Spent a bunch of time on Caldoran, that is a FUN fight. I think he'll be defeated this week, and if I play my reserves right, I should be able to get my Tier finished. #ClassicWoW

Saw Thunderbolts* and Sinners in theatres this weekend! Both extremely good films, and interestingly, both knew how to use their post-credit scenes as a rewarding P.S.

6/8 Scarlet Enclave down! And Lightsaber ACQUIRED. Council is pretty fun, and so was Lillian right after - couldn't quite get Lillian tonight though, going back MONDAY. #ClassicWoW

I hope I didn't mess up my pawn-encoding here on Row 796(?) but I'm sure someone else will tamper with it soon enough.

Guild team got to 5/8 Scarlet Enclave in #ClassicWoW last night! And I got to 3/8 on my Tier-Scarlet(?) set! Solistrasza and Mason are super fun, Mason still maybe a scooch overtuned. Beastlord was pretty boring, only took 2 pulls total.

github.com/godotengine/... A lot of work still to go, but really proud to have a whole new feature in a working state for #GodotEngine! Now I just need to learn how to actually use it for cool stuff #Godot

Surprised to get this guy yesterday, pretty boring color though. #shinypokemon

I opened a #Godot proposal! I found it a little confusing that GDScript Strings could find Subsequences, but Arrays could not, so I dug in and fixed it! I have a pull request with working code ready if proposal gets approved, hope it helps some other nerd out there :) github.com/godotengine/...

I think Negative Chikorita lets me add one extra Pokemon to my party, right?
