[annoyed about EU politics and digital surveilance policing. some all-caps text] whyyyyyyyy is EU politics like this STOP SUGGESTING CHAT CONTROL! STOP TRYING! TAKE A FUCKING HINT

The new GSpace has a David Lynch cutout at the entrance Extremely funny

Margaret Thatcher in the classroom Is this normal for UU students?

Added more links to the list :3 because I know some people prefer learning through watching video rather than reading

I _really_ wish that either A) scons had a standalone windows installer or B) godot had a build system installer for windows Trying to help team members set up a godot custom module workflow when they're not technical fucking _sucks_ There's like 3 different installers every time :n[...]

"Was my dad's death by smoke inhalation when the church burned down: A suicide, A murder, or an act of god" This town is fucking insane What the fuck

Yknow I was wondering where all the horrors where for this project. At school they always told us that "if you don't document you'll have to go back one day and none of it will make sense to you" but i wasn't encountering that yet. However some of these decisions :BlobCat_NotLikeThisCry:

Needed someone to send me some large files. Discord didn't allow it without nitro. But as I found out, Nextcloud lets me make a file dropoff link to let them send me their files :neocat_approve_256: Love having access to cool software

The sightlines, I need to improve the sightlines :neocat_glare_256:

Rally season started a bit rough this year

After so much time of using a more hammer-style workflow for environments I'd forgotten how much _fun_ modular asset workflows are.

I fucking _Hate_ doors, but I think I've figured out how to do them for this project nav mesh links seem to be able to do the job

Hmmm, I feel like those box cars aren't quite parked properly :neocat_think_256:

Wall3x3

Funny thing about Conventional Commits: By that logic, removing a major part would be a feature commit :neocat_3c_256: which gets some funny commit messages

Reaching a point where I think I should delete and iterate on the level I've built for this. The sketch is still good, but some of the spaces need reorganising and there's some technical bits I need to redo (doors... :neocat_glare_256: )

Some links I like to recommend to people in the process of learning game development https://forum.hermitcollective.net/thread/10/%5bgeneral%5d-links-for-new-and-starting-game-developers/

Just got jumpscared by my own game Because there were enemies where there weren't before The reason I was playing the game is because I wanted to test how the game flowed With the new enemies I added... :neocat_woozy_256:

I am so incredibly tempted to make a video tutorial series named something along the lines of "How to make an FPS game in godot. _Actually_ from scratch" That covers the basics of programming, the fundamental logic of godot, basics of blender modelling, texturing, animation. i could[...]

I absolutely love working on tooling for myself and others. It's such a nice act of "move slow and build things" Probably my favourite part of wrapping up a project is that it lets me go back and upgrade the tooling I used to make it.

Near the end of a project I always forget just how much fun I have drumming. Cause I barely make time for it once I properly get into a project

Alright, that's basically 3/3 of the assignments uploaded. Next is just covering some bases and then I think I'm Done for the semester

The tree was in fact a missile placed in secret by the CIA to kill Nosferatu

I think there's a pretty decent Lovecraft-style horror story that can be written through the letters of a researcher who sees all his colleagues drawn to madness by an entity no one seems to be able to understand or control. Each of them convinced they know more than the others, each of them wrong.

1500 words is such a small amount, I'm already well over it and still looking to add like a whole section to this stupid report ;-; damnit

Headphones: Repaired Was considering replacing it, but it's still _so much_ cheaper to repair. So repair it is, thanks fairphone :3

FUN FACT: there is a picture of my toaster on linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jake-simonds_one-thing-im-going-to-be-spending-some-time-share-7393708587874754560-Bmy2?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAApTV30BBDEJlvf8scg8VSdD3ac3CDY2xbI

Bloody hell the first few weeks of next semester look kinda brutal. Guess I should mentally prepare for that

how to remove all shading from Godot if you needed it for whatever reason

The tree was in fact a missile placed in secret by the CIA to kill Nosferatu

O cool, there's a decent number of people using XFCE who might actually be able/willing to move to wayland with this. Neat

(gonna advertise this this a few times over the next few days probably :neocat_3c_256: ) If you're a game-development(-adjacent) person and following me on here please consider joining the hermitcollective forum (and/or adding it to your RSS feed)! It's not discord! And also where I'[...]

Some character designs/sculpts from *checks watch* 15 years ago?!?!? These were heavily influenced by animation maquettes by Kent Melton (RIP) and Team Fortress 2.

Going to start posting the different things I use for the RPG's style into mini-tutorials on the forum. Rather than one big post https://forum.hermitcollective.net/thread/5/%5btutorial%5d-reusable-godot-import-automation/

going places.

Blue is better for this bike I think. Might experiment with some other colours too, but I like this shade

Creature, that’s the wrong side of the window.

I love leafblower named Self Defense

Biiiigg coat, but it could be bigger

Art vs Artist ⚔️🩸

Getting used to emacs is slightly dangerous I keep doing C-x C-s to save, which in most programs result in saving the file with whatever I have selected missing...

The microsoft ribbon has been a scourge upon user interface design that humanity will not recover from for decades to come

Been a while since I've opened LibreOffice, just got a new install, and I actually quite like it as it is rn. last time I used it it was annoyingly slow and some of the UI was really weird. And the icons were the wrong colour. That all seems to be solved now. Nice.

Ohhey! Looking forward to this! Not particularly useful to me personally. But these are exactly the kind of "how to make X game" tutorials that I was following when I was 12 making mediocre ripoffs of whatever game I was hoping to play that week. So this is going to be great entry po[...]
