I can't go where I always am... But same.

and now I suddenly want a sonic 06 remake my mind needs to stop switching

Been trying to use my computer at least a little every day. Today I spent about an hour doing some database work on my game dev project, inputting some of the magic/skill ideas I've been keeping a list of, amongst other things. #gamedev

Yes I'm aware I've been absent for like a month... But I promise I've been doing stuff! Including various bits of game dev, physical therapy, and fun with friends. How are y'all?

Been playing a lot of puzzle games lately along with being part of the beta testing for a neat game called #Heartopia. It's been giving me ideas for systems I want to implement in my own projects... If I can figure out how.

My dad finds it weird that the brand of the fiber bars I eat sometimes is 'No Cow' because cows are my favorite animal.

I was looking in my mirror and randomly focused in on my freckles. I wonder if those are why my late godfather loved to call me speckled frog as a nickname/pet name? (Miss you, Uncle Phil.) #randomthoughts

There's a very big difference between me and my dad (besides the fact he's above average height and I'm below)... We are very different in how we react when the other is going to the restroom.

Whenever someone new comes to the house, Clyde always likes to show off his mailman collection.

Doing some minor #gamedev planning while waiting on a call from a friend. I'm just fleshing out my lists of things I want to include, including non-magic skills for the different classes/characters. Been trying to come up with creative buff/debuff skills and spells and think I got a few good ones!

Why did I just hear a really loud fart coming from upstairs? Is our ceiling really that thin, or am I just imagining things?

When people complain "authors should name their characters something I can say" I just want all of you to understand that my name is Lev and my husband's name is Aleksei and 70% of Americans cannot say either of those names right even when they are repeating it after us

If you see this, Post an Anime You Love!

Don't you love when friends give you ideas without meaning to? My friend was jokingly giving me ideas of how to 'battle for my honor' when someone corrected my word usage. Now trying to figure out if I can use any of them as mini games/plot points for #gamedev!

I was using my translation app with my aide and finally noticed that in Spanish, 'Soy' means 'I am'. So now I think the term soybean is funny because it's just saying 'I am bean'. #randomthoughts

The beauty of having a musician for a parent: you get to hear what they're working on before it comes out. Reminds me I should think of the general soundscape I want for my #gamedev. I'll try to brainstorm some of that today.

I can tell the kids are home upstairs... ...Sounds like an earthquake that skipped the ground floor and only affects theirs.

Aaand now it's time for lunch with my aide! I showed her two anime I love the other day and she requested specifically to continue the one including the 'crazy kitty cat'... So time to watch some #NatsumeYuujinchou / #NatsumesBookofFriends

These political texts reminding me to vote are driving me mad. I already voted! I said stop! Don't just use a new number to keep bombarding me!

Not feeling great today so most of my #gamedev is brainstorming. I started a list of puzzle ideas to include because I love puzzles and also inspiration just happened to strike. ...Idea involves a clock. I blame daylight savings (even though the game includes a lot of 'time' symbolism anyway).

Trying to do some #gamedev by learning Tiled with a mix of documentation, a video for using it with RPGMaker, and my wits that apparently don't exist. I am so confused... Maybe I should work on this later on. -.-

Somehow, my #gamedev for this month is starting off with something I'm used to doing for my writing: researching weird things I feel are necessary to make things feel more cohesive... Like plants that grow in certain biomes to help name medicinal items and such. -.-

I have mixed feelings about my allergy eye drops. Do they help my eyes stop feeling uncomfortable? Yes. Do they give me the same icky taste in my mouth after using them that I got with the nasal spray of the same medication that I refuse to use anymore? Also yes. (Got a different one don't worry)

Over on Reddit, there is a post that's basically "I keep reading Scalzi and I keep not liking what he writes, why do I do this to myself" and my answer to this is, dude, I don't know but you have my permission to stop, life is short and there are many authors, find one whose work you can love

Can anyone tell me if the bit of Norse mythology mixed into Clash of the Titans was on purpose? I've been rewatching it and am both enjoying it and a bit miffed about their way of including the Norns... Though it was funny that they even did that. #filmsky #moviesky #mythology

I think of @markofthemusic.bsky.social when I see this.... And also one of the adult mental health day programs I was in in the past. There was a guy who brought different records to play on the record player we had there each day during the last hour (give or take) before we all headed home.

You ever just give up on getting to see kids in cute/cool costumes at your door and suddenly get four at once? Thank you to the lovely kids for brightening my evening in exchange for candy despite the fairly strong wind.

I don’t have a million readers, but the ones I have are priceless to me. I hustle to give them a book every year and half or so, but I always want them to read great stuff, so I recommend it. Constantly. Not recommending stuff by other writers makes no sense to me.

If you see this, drop someone SCARED😬

🙌

Happy Halloween

Happy Hallow-Eevee indeedy!

i started talking in d&d language in the project groupchat and it's so much more fun trying to predict if the software engineer can roll high enough to counter the program owner's persuasion bonus and beat his DC or if he's gonna fail and has to accept the decision regarding the feature update

when out driving tonight remember to go as fast as you can the streets will be full of ghouls and ghosts and disney princesses

when out trick or treating tonight don't forget to throw some candy in the sewers for the rats and the sewer people

Happy spooky eve everyone! Who wants to give an old lady candy while she gives candy to kids? (Assuming they actually trick or treat in my area this year... Which I'm doubting based on weather.)

#31DaysofRPGMaps Last day! My one complaint is I wish I the RTP had darker tiles for this... And that it was easier to make some of the cracks and stuff. But I mean, it was pretty fun to make, and it'll be handy in the future probably.

reeses are too addicting

I think they should invent a drug that lets you wipe your memory of John Carpenter movies so you can watch them fresh every Halloween. And then John Carpenter should make a movie about this drug's terrifying side effects.

#31DaysofRPGMaps Originally thought of making a taller hill somewhere, but decided to do it this way instead. I really like how this came out, honestly. Adding in paths didn't go quite as I wanted, but didn't go *too* badly. :)

Happy Wednesday, beautiful blues❣️Enjoy the day! Lovely day here for an autumnal walk!🍁🍂❣️

One of the best things I’ve learned as an autistic person is that I don’t *have* to live by neurotypical rules all the time The pressure can be immense. But it’s possible to slowly change that narrative I’m gradually allowing myself to rest more, socialise my way & find joy in my autistic traits ❤️

The month is almost over! Eep! As my daily map posting challenge comes to a close, I have decided my goal for next month: Actually do a little of game dev each day, and even if there's no pictures I can post, post about what I did. Even if it's just adding some stuff to the database or planning!

Me: *answering phone* Hello? ...Hello? Computer on the other end: Goodbye. Uh... Can someone explain to me what just happened? I'm so confused.

#31DaysofRPGMaps Sooo I made a tall cliff with a bridge as a skybridge 'cause honestly wasn't sure what to do here and didn't feel like trying to parallax.

Can the universe just swoop in, like on a reality show, where they throw out the garbage, send us to counseling, while they do a slap dash makeover to shake things up and show us our potential??

YES this is an important distinction

Anyone ever get thanked for a gift you've apparently given in the past because it's useful but... You don't remember giving it? Is it just me?

Post your Mount Rushmore of Gamecube games!
