Marinate your Thanksgiving turkey in Baja Blast to counteract the sleepiness you get after eating.

Modeled a new boss enemy for Fury's Sky: Vagabond! Introducing the Bishop, a powerful Arator enemy with potent homing attacks. Don't miss your mark; the Bishop won't! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #videogame #doom #UZDoom

Someone is apparently reenacting historical events using GenAI to fart out Doom-style footage. Even more distressing, people think this barely coherent slop is "horrifyingly good." Please. I only watched the first video and "good" is nowhere in the same star system as the footage.

I'm really hoping this new antidepressant helps. I've been uncontrollably down in the dumps these past few weeks and nothing else is working.

How I started making indie games -Took up Doom modding with ZScript and GZDoom after being fed up with my life. -Worked on a couple Unity Engine projects in small groups that never came to fruition. -Returned to Doom modding on my current project. -Still working on it. #indiegamedev

Oh hells yes

Added the Flayer enemy into Fury's Sky: Vagabond! These highly flexible enemies have an attack whether you are close or far away. Be careful! #gamedev #indiegame #videogame #doom #UZDoom #gamedevelopment

I don't want to hear another word about gay or trans people being groomers from anyone MAGA-leaning after the Epstein email dump. Any moral high ground these fuckers could've possibly stood on got blasted by the goddamned Death Star. Hate to say we told MAGA so, but oh wait, I actually don't.

I somehow managed to get 900 total downloads for Fury's Sky: Vagabond across all releases... Wow. Thanks you guys! Nice thing to wake up to! #gamedev #videogame #doom #UZDoom

Metroid Prime 4 trending along with all these political and financial hot topics fills me with indescribable happiness. I love Metroid, and people are still finding joy and stuff to get hyped about in this timeline, so that makes me happy too. That's if they're not whining about the NPCs.

A little early on this #screenshotsaturday, but I just did a bunch of animations on the Flayer enemy for Fury's Sky: Vagabond, and I just LOVE how they came out! Especially considering how annoying those tentacles are... #gamedev #videogame #doom #UZDoom #animation #blender3d #3dart

Working on this new enemy for Fury's Sky: Vagabond! He was originally gonna be a boss, but I think I'll use him as a regular enemy type. He's currently called the Flayer. #gamedev #indiegame #videogame #doom #UZDoom

My fiancee picked up Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 for the PS4 and it's fucking adorable seeing her get into the intro sequence with the kids. She was really into it back in the PS2 days, and it's nice to see her tap into those memories. IDK, I just like seeing her happy.

Added a rough version of the Rook boss into Fury's Sky: Vagabond! This enemy unleashes powerful explosive attacks when struck while in a guarding stance. This, coupled with its spread attacks, make it a tough foe to take down. #gamedev #indiegame #videogame #gamedevelopment #doom #UZDoom

Yeah...I got nothing. The White House is pants-on-head dumb.

Everyone is familiar with the Joker. Not as many are familiar with his brothers Smoker and Midnight Toker.

I'm trying to make sense of why the Dems would cave on the shutdown vote. Problem is, I'll be trying forever, because the more I scrutinize it, the less sense it makes. I really want to see a silver lining with this decision, but I can't justify one. Fuck this timeline.

Here's a summary of my development goals for Fury's Sky: Vagabond, my flight action game powered by UZDoom, going forward. Check out the game on ModDB! #gamedev #videogame #gamedevelopment #indiegame #doom #UZDoom

Say what you will about Scarlet and Violet, but the story and characters rocked out loud. Especially the final hours in Area Zero. I still think about that whole sequence of events a LOT.

If you see this repost with a Sentai Team that’s not Power Rangers or Super Sentai

Huzzah! Fury's Sky: Vagabond is now running on the release candidate for UZDoom! Minimal tweaks required! Loving the new input menu as well; it should make assigning binds a lot easier. Just need to fix keybinds saving. Also, haptics work great! #gamedevelopment #videogame #doom #uzdoom

Well, I managed to redesign and rig the Rook model for Fury's Sky: Vagabond. And I did a rough idle animation. Not bad. #gamedev #indiedev #doom #videogame #gamedevelopment

HIT ME WITH ALLA THAT!

Meh. Tried to do a humanoid sculpt in Blender and this was the best I could come up with. I hate my utter lack of artistic skill sometimes...

Mamdani won his mayoral race! I guess we can still have nice things in this world. Looking forward to seeing all the MAGA meltdowns about this.

Businesses adopting return-to-office mandates is fucking funny to me. They've spent countless funds investing in new networked technologies and IT infrastructure that make life easier only to avoid using it. I get sunk-cost fallacy is a thing, but the antipathy toward remote work is still stupid.

I swear, Linux kinda sucks when it comes to native games. I was trying to setup the Linux version of BizHawk and it wouldn't save my configs or save data because it was put in a directory where it didn't have write access. Ended up using the Win version with Proton. It's a FAR better experience.

Civilization is cooperative by nature. Society worked for us because banding together and specializing in skills to contribute to a greater whole was a better deal than just individuals going off and fending for themselves. This is also why isolationism and protectionism don't work as policy.

Did some modeling on a new boss enemy for my #gamedev project, Fury's Sky: Vagabond! This one is called the "Rook." It will be a bulky, formidable threat that can fold it's front claws into a shield and counterattack when struck at certain times. #videogame #doom #gamedevelopment #indiegame

Picked up a game called Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree. It's a really pretty and fun 2-D Metroidvania Souls-like, with a ton of content to chew on. But apparently it isn't worth the $40 asking price, because other games are supposedly "better." I have problems with that statement.

Celebrating Halloween with this bona-fide classic. SFM machinima was something else...

It's SPOOPY DAY! Happy Halloween ya Halloweenies!

Testing out my new recording setup on Linux, as well as showing off a new feature! Enemy projectiles can now show up on the radar as white dots. This allows the player to avoid projectiles if the enemy shooting them is off camera. #gamedev #gamedevelopment #videogame #doom #indiegame

Having WAY too much fun with my EndeavourOS install...

GitHub is putting out a preview of an AI-powered code review tool... Considering AI has tons of issues writing enterprise-level code, the very idea of AI giving good feedback is laughable. This is gonna crash and burn like the goddamned Hindenburg.

My 6-year-old daughter is surprisingly adept at Pokemon White. She got past the first gym leader (with some help from me :P) and is working on the second. Considering I was around 9 when I first played Pokemon and struggled with getting through Mt. Moon, she's doing really well!

Holy fuck, it has been YEARS since I made this mod. Really does take me back... It was FAR from the best experience, but hey, it was my first mod, and it was good for learning... #gamedev

Fixing a lot of the last few quirks of my Linux install. Managed to fix an error with the texture editor on the Linux version of SLADE and working out paths and running maps so now I can resume gamedev on Vagabond. I still need to fix my mouse not working intermittently, but still, Linux good

Oh for the love of God. People are now saying that enjoying a janky game is equivalent to an abusive relationship with the studio. This meme is why I can't take Pokemon fans or gamers seriously. They have no sense of goddamned perspective. Everything is so dramatic or overblown.

One of the things I thought I would miss with Linux vs Windows was being able to use my Razer Ripsaw capture card. After hassling with it on a Windows laptop, I basically just said "fuck it" and decided I didn't miss it as much as I thought.

I swear, it is the funniest thing ever when one of the cats climbs up on my computer desk and tries to delicately maneuver around everything on it. Like bro, pick a better climbing space if you're going to put that much effort into it. Silly kitty. :3

I think I made a post with this exact sentiment a few days ago lol.

Scoped out Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters for the PSP recently. Aside from issues with the camera and wonky button combos, I found myself having fun with the opening bit. Classic R&C that fits in your pocket!

I've never been an optimist. Especially not now, with all the crap that's going on in the world. But lately, I find myself holding on to that sliver of hope left in the Pandora's box, and the things that enrich my life, like my hobbies and the people I love. It's all that's keeping me sane.

Switched to Linux today lol. Had enough of Microsoft. I installed Endeavour OS and I'm setting it up. I'm getting my default apps, setting up my hardware, and trying out games in Proton. So far so good! I think this will work out nicely.

Two years. It has been two whole years since I started work on Fury's Sky: Vagabond my #doom based #flight #videogame. And let me tell you, #gamedev with this has been a ride. Highs, lows, and all. And the best part? It has a lot to offer despite not quite being finished. Check it out!

I did it! I put in all the animations for the Knight enemy and added it to Fury's Sky: Vagabond! Now I just need to do the other bosses I have planned. Check this game out here: www.moddb.com/mods/furys-s... #gamedev #gamedevelopment #videogame #doom

I find I've been thinking about my place in the world a lot. What I'm good at, what I can do, that sort of thing. And I find myself distraught because I'm good at so very little. Even so, I still managed to do some gamedev work. Whether I'm skilled or not, I still need to finish my game.

I'm just gonna leave this here, mostly because I was fooled by this misinformation about Legends Z-A as well.

I honestly feel like I should be further ahead in programming and 3D modeling than I am right now. It's just frustrating being held back by things I don't know.
