I am genuinely insulted to see a Pro-AI account follow me after favouriting my posts about how I lost my job because my workplace replaced its technical writing staff with AI.

If one more person on Reddit defaults to calling me "bro" in a reply I'm going to scream. And cry.

Despite being a sentient Christmas tree in a space suit, I don't have much to say about today.

I ended up with approximately 2500 timewarped badges from the latest Timerunning dungeon event before I remembered that Blackrock Depths is a raid and not a dungeon.

I had a promising interview today. Less pay than my last job but it's a permanent position like my last job was too. Fingers crossed.

That's the last vial of Estradiol finished for 2025. Here's to another twelve.

This is my current enemy placeholder. When I need to make it clear it's a different type of enemy I change the label above its head in game and replace the white of its body with a different colour. No AI involved because it's a placeholder.

I keep confusing "speed/distance" and "distance/speed" when I'm trying to make things lerp at a consistent speed.

Now that I have Tremble working again I can finally start prototyping my dungeons in TrenchBroom. I've been wanting to add fucn_train support for a while now.

Well anyway, that's enough feeling sorry for myself.

Not just copywriting. This happened to me as a technical writer.

Relativity

Designing a water dungeon is far more difficult than I thought it would be.

I'm not sure which is more strange; the fact people get so hostile about other people liking Quest 64 or the fact they still get so hostile 27 years after it came out.

I haven't been getting as much work done on my game as I would like. There have been some strange issues with Tremble I really should ask about in the Discord because they're making the dungeon creation process near impossible.

Much of my interest in being a vtuber is so I have an excuse to regularly practice voice training. To be a sad sack for a moment, I don't have many people in my life so I only talk a few times a week. I've been slacking.

my primary impression of fallout 76 was watching an official teaser on the alien update, hearing this weapon's sound effect, and having to rewind to make sure I didn't hallucinate it

I forgot I preordered this.

mas é óbvio que ele iria se arriscar pra ir tirar um cochilo no melhor lugar

If you'll permit me a little self indulgence, I took some time for myself yesterday to make a house for my Draenei in WoW last night.

I ran into a strange bug in my player controller where it was launching the player into extremely long jumps but only when they were moving in certain directions. I had forgotten to use the camera relative inputs and was using raw inputs instead for the player movement.

I wonder if it would be easier for me to post on social media if I embodied a character rather than trying to be myself. I've always been one for roleplay to the point where I've long played MMOs exclusively on roleplay servers.

I know that bangs would do a great job at helping to hide my brow ridge and that that would make me much less insecure in my appearance but I'm still male-presenting and having bangs with how long my hair is would draw a lot of attention I do not want.

I've had to read and write the word "field" so many times today that it's ceased to have any meaning and no longer feels like a word anymore.

The job market is a true disaster for people in AI affected fields. I've personally watched my job go from something that required strict adherence to style guides and attention to detail to something where AI is seen as "good enough."

Please do not ask me how long it took me to get this to work. The field boundaries have to be procedurally generated and making meshes like that in Unity is a blind spot in my development skillset.

I would be much more comfortable with a vtuber avatar to the point where I may even stream things. I've spent far too long trying to exist in the margins because I don't enjoy who I am physically.

I hope I can find work soon. I'm starting to push up against the bounds of my savings.

Woke up two hours early because of breast tenderness.

I've been toying with movement options in my game. I think instead of a double jump, I'm going to have air dashing instead. There's something there in having elemental abilities tied to mobility, though I'm not sure on the details of all of them just yet.

I've been thinking about Mega Man Legends type facial facial animations for my game. It would be a lot of work, but I think it would be a good effect.

Having to buy a bigger hoodie because the old one isn't concealing enough was not a problem I expected to have less than 6 months into HRT.

I've wanted to stick as close to Nintend 64 and PS1 implementations of things like blob shadows as much as possible but they are actually very annoying to get to work in modern pipelines while actually looking nice. I have to look into some code I have in another project for alternatives.

You can't have a Quest 64 inspired game if you can't have rocks fall and enemies die.

I keep meaning to post development updates but I've never been good at social media. This is probably a side effect of being mostly disconnected from it for over a decade aside from release announcements.

I should replay the Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask to get a good feel for conveying personality in a silent protagonist. Link has a very thin personality, but it's there and it's obvious.

Sometimes it's fun to do silly things like make little doodles that characters I write might draw on notes and letters they write.

I just ran into a very annoying and difficult to track down bug. For some reason player health was regenerating whenever moving between areas. This meant that I could bypass any difficulty by moving between one area and another if they were connected by a door.

I love this game. It's actually one of the two Nintendo 64 games I own physically.

The attempt to switch to real time combat in this game project is going well. I was surprised at how easy it was to just replace the turn timer with a cooldown one. I still need a proper name so I can stop calling it Super Journey.

It's very hard to make shoulders work in very low poly models so I'm simply not going to. I'll be separating them as meshes and having them inset into the torso to hide the fact.

I've been trying to reverse engineer the model topology from games like Ocarina of Time to help with the rigging process. I think I almost have it.

Low poly models are very difficult to make when you're much more used to mid poly ones where the joint topology is less restrictive.

Ucupaint supports vertex color layers? This may be a modelling workflow game changer for me.

I've been playing Threads of Fate all day for research. If anyone tells you I've been playing Threads of Fate all day because I like the game they are misleading you.

Oh but do I have thoughts about this. The language she uses in this post, the way she spent much of 2014-2016 burying the idea that she was trans, everything she's done. Brianna Wu has a pattern of behavior with her transphobia and it is extremely apparent when you are exposed to her for long enough

An unexpected side effect of transition is that I can no longer comfortably put a phone in my breast pocket.

So far the gender euphoria of getting called "ma'am" by a complete stranger while on the phone before even giving my name is unmatched.

Realizing this was my pattern of behavior is why I finally decided to transition.

As an FYI to trans girls on HRT: grip the jar from the bottom and turn the lid with your left hand.
