No war plan (trip packing list) survives contact with the enemy (arrival at your destination.) Time to hit up the store..

Don't be silly. He's much worse than that.

It just needs a black Suburban up on blocks and the picture is complete.

I'm looking for work! - Characters - Environments - Animations Whatever your needs, I can do it 💪 I've worked on Teardown, Vampire Crawlers and many more! Feel free to DM me or email [email protected]

I think putting up bird feeders may have been a mistake. Something like a woodpecker was making loud hammering noises in the middle of the night, and not the fun kind of hammering noises.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

Here's a thought experiment. Imagine you are suddenly extremely wealthy, like a billion dollars. Once you travel the world & have a nice home & have all the nice toys, what is next on your agenda? You don't have to work, your investments will buoy you forever. So how do you fill your time?

Three days in Pompeii and climbing Vesuvius. My mind is utterly blown. I’ve waited 32 years to be here and now I never want to leave.

The Fitbit Air is not for most people. A big part of the reason I wear a tracker is so I can check the time and date, and check stats without getting my phone out.

I played regular COMBAT on the ATARI 2600. Get on my level.

No shit. They had custom t-shirts.

Single mothers are heroes. Often they are flawed heroes because of the strain of being a single mother in the US -- a society that doesn't have enough of a safety net for them.

We could use a good high-effort Elric movie or TV series. Even animated would be good.

I'd pay for an upgraded #Scrivener with easier theming, or for good low-contrast dark mode themes. Getting it to an acceptable point took time, even starting with one of the decent dark mode themes as a base. A lot of the other less-used windows are still a mishmash of color.

Yes everyone is unique and special, but that doesn't mean you should park in the pick up spot at McDonald's and then just go inside. There's a reason there's a big "7" over your spot, Chet, you absolute neck!

If you write aah or ahh instead of ass, I'm going to mute you.

The Hero's Journey is descriptive and analytical, not prescriptive. It is about human sociology and psychology; it's not about creative writing. If you find parallels in your own work after you make it, that's normal, but it's not a cookbook.

After trying it out, I can see the value of #Obsidian for taking notes, in a limited fashion. But because of the unique note title requirement, it's just too limited to be a general notebook. And it wasn't designed to be a novel #writing tool either, even if plugins can almost make it so.

Regarding the #Affinity app: you say it's free, but if I have to log in and authenticate, that's a lie. Uninstalling.

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

The real drunk of a new project, making the connections, like popping the top on your skull and sprinkling endorphins directly onto the sloppy wet gray matter, do not pass go, do not stop to figure out details, just make connections and luxuriate in infinite possibility..

Source Serif 4 is my new favorite "comfortable reading" font over Georgia. I'm using it for #writing in #Obsidian and it's easy on the eyes, very book-y.

Without actually reading the scripts, how can you tell the difference between writing and direction in a live-action production? A lot of a screenplay can get cut, and directors and actors can take a flat page and enhance it substantially.

One thing I don't care for in #Obsidian is the limits for note titles. They have to be file-safe and unique. That seems problematic, like in the case of documents with repetitive internal structure. E.g., a play might have multiple "Scene 1"s.

Forgetful Eggs on Toast

Okay #Obsidian is pretty awesome. I've been using it like a full day now and I've got about 2500 words in notes for my story. It just feels better to use than Scrivener ever was. I just need to tweak the fonts a little.

The 4.7 release cycle reaches an ever-important milestone with its very first beta snapshot: #GodotEngine 4.7-beta1 has arrived! 🎉 As is tradition: we've got a feature-packed blog post showcasing the main highlights for this new version: godotengine.org/article/dev-...

I type 100wpm but I only think at 75wpm

Why is it so hard to find a good modern #mp3 player with a clip? I'm not going to have an expensive device bounce out of my pocket while I'm mowing grass or doing repairs or working out or whatever. And I don't want my expensive half-pound phone bouncing around in my pocket either.

Ok, I spent way too much time on this. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty good list. #games #aboutme #videogames

AI ftw! Good job, #BlueSky.

Had my yearly eye checkup. Pupils are dilated af and it's acting like a Glamor Shots filter on everything. Not gonna lie, #Bluesky is looking pretty sexy rn.

I didn't know Russian jails had open windows to fall out of!

My wife made this using the pattern from @kimonade.bsky.social. reddit.com/r/godot/comm... #godot #crochet #godotengine

Spring cleaning. Thank goodness for #audiobooks. #Expanse 7.5 "Auberon"

I wish I'd had #GodotEngine v4 as a choice when I first started trying to learn #gamedev. Wasted several years fighting #Unity module incompatibilities and new systems that are never ready for production, and then the licensing snafus.

Has anyone done this yet? #godot #godotengine #nvidia

Well, the weather's warming up. Trees are blooming, grass is greening up. I'm really going to miss the luxury of not having to mow and do other yard maintenance all the freaking time.

NVIDIA created a ray tracing fork of Godot! github.com/NVIDIA-RTX/g... #godot #gamedev

I love that there was a weapon in Stranger Things that used sound, and they called it The Hedgehog but never explained why. Maybe I missed it, but if they deliberately left the reason unspoken (as I hope) it's one of my favorite things about the series.

It's almost impossible to narrow it down to 9, but this is pretty good. Honorable mentions to Space Wars, Galaga, Combat, Islands of Kesmai, British Legends, The Legend of Kyrandia, Ultima III, Jumpman, Lode Runner, Lemmings, Doom, Quake, Warcraft, Starcraft, World of Warcraft, etc. my9games.com

Tablets are getting so large, they're going to just straight up reinvent laptops pretty soon.

As someone who started off as a writer, I keep getting pulled deeper into fleshing out my story instead of working on the rest of the game. Maybe I'll write it as a standalone novel at some point. #godot #gamedev

surprised people bring up the ease of reverse-engineering of godot games as a drawback over unity when it's the same in both

I really tried to enjoy No Man's Sky. I started it three separate times. Inventory management used to be frustrating and tedious, but then they added game customization options to make the tedious things easier. Once you skip the tedious stuff though... there's not much left.

Got my dev console working, with a few commands. It feels old school, but a lot of games still use this style console. #gamedev #godot #godotengine #rogueish

I need to work on my POI generator. It's a basic rectangle generator right now, but I need to rewrite it from scratch & base it on room & item grammar, allow for non-rectangular shapes, and then move on to multi-structure POIs like towns & dungeons. Square font ftw. #godot #godotengine #gamedev

Finally got my #godotengine fuzzy. It's cute. Now I need to find a place for it on my desk so I can use it for Rubber Ducking.
