#GodotTips If you use Godot and create resources, you'll find you often want to add a class_name to them to make them easier to use. Here's a quick template to do that automatically for you, putting the name you give the .gd file for the resource as the class_name. gist.github.com/WolfgangSenf...

Holy crap. I hadn't gotten the latest beta of Godot in quite a while due to studying for my taekwondo test and working on my mobile app really hard to get it to a releasable state. The new theme/skin for #GodotEngine is AWESOME! It's so sexy now. Dang!

Incontrovertible opinion: Race for the Galaxy needs a Duels version equivalent to what 7 Wonders Duels did for the original game, streamlining it significantly and just making a better game overall.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, LiSA and Felix's Reawaker was my number one song this year. It's such a good song, and Felix is so damn hot.

Well. 6'4", 250 lbs, 43 years old, I now have my black belt in taekwondo.

Speaking of which, anyone else willing to sign up to help me get enough testers to deploy on Android? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Pretty happy with my site now. And Eliminance is almost ready for release, just trying to get more testers. :) diurnalproductions.com

I feel like 90% of my commit messages these days are, "Fix linting errors." Ugh.

Why can't I block things on Netflix? Dumb missing basic feature. I don't ever want to see anything with Matt Rife in it on my feed. That guy is a total piece of white, cis-male privilege, and not even remotely funny.

The show Legion, about David Haller from the Marvel comics, is actually incredible. It uses a lot of metaphor in it which, while not missing altogether from more popular Marvel media, at least is nowhere near as prominent as in this, imo. There's also, I shit you not, a lot of interpretive dance.

If you're trying to befriend a game developer this question is a great way to sabotage that effort

I just coined the phrase "Fraudian Slip" for when someone in this administration lets it slip that they are trying to commit fraud.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

This was actually a pretty fun little discussion. I've been enjoying Observable Flutter for a while now, but this is the first I've felt compelled to not just lurk, and they were great!

Okay! Big change just submitted to the #GodotEngine #Firebase plugin to allow proper listeners on Firestore documents through the REST API. Time to document everything! It's going to be so painful to document, but it's super cool to use, not difficult at all!

Happy #Thanksgiving if you celebrate it! I'm thankful for having been part of the #Xamarin community for so long, even if it's gone the way of the dino now. And for card/board games! And the #GodotEngine community! Now to find another job and finish my dieting app. 🤣

Did they make a refrigerator woman out of Percy Jackson's mother?! Completely unnecessary, by definition.

Been a while, but I have a big update to the Godot @firebase.com plugin Coming Soon (TM)! I'm in the process of implementing eTag support for the realtime database, finally, and in-so-doing, will be able to rewrite Firestore document listeners, which are otherwise impossible for Godot to handle...

Well, I loved Overboard, and the backstory for this already seems incredible.

Oh boy. The app I'm working on just did something unexpected, but stunning and great - just unexpected. I'm hoping to publish it within a week! Terrified, but excited.

Feese's Cups.

Godot and iOS friends, been working on some GameCenter bindings, and this forced me to do some big upgrades to SwiftGodot. I think what I have so far is nicer than Apple’s Unity plugin (api is about the same, but my glueing chops are more tasteful than theirs): github.com/migueldeicaz...

Truer than You is part of @adventurex.bsky.social in London this weekend - a festival that focuses on narrative driven games! Looking forward a lot to see all the other games and show Truer than Yo to people who love games and stories 💖 #AdvX2025

I learned recently of a Chinese phrase that makes me laugh a lot. In context, "He's the type of person who 'takes off his pants to fart.'"

Next up in the carnival of absurdities that is the American consumer desire: hard, dealcoholized White Claw.

Zumba is addictive and I love it. That is all.

I made cookies for the first time in forever, and they didn't spread out much, so probably not though butter. But they still turned out very tasty, guess sugar and chocolate go a long way. 😂

Just learned that #GodotEngine is increasing their prices by 100%. #Jokes

I don't care for what's her name, but I did come up with "Aging Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fiber. It burns." Tonight.

Marketing question: do any of you actually use any apps on your phones (aside from games), and if so, do you watch videos on them to try to figure out if you want to get them, the apps? I'm wondering if it's worth making a video or not.

Dan Brown is a soap opera writer for conspiracy theorists. He's good at it, though!

Added some bonkers functionality today to my mobile app that's coming out soon. Haven't tested it yet though! Requires I physically be at a restaurant, a rare occurrence. 😂

It's absolutely bonkers developing an app for mobile and having it come out in just a week or two (not that I made it in so little time, but I'm getting close to finishing it!). Trying not to go crunch time, but it's so exciting and I love it so much.

Funny, I've been singing Habibi Love all day after hearing it in Zumba class once and it just stuck.

Well, I think we saved this little guy today. We wrapped him up to keep him warm, after finding him on the ground stunned and cold and not moving. But keeping him warm seemed to help enough that he came back to life and flew off. Called animal control, but as always, they're basically unresponsive.

As little as I like Isekai animes, having a dragon that transforms into an adorable black cat in My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's ensures that I will watch a lot of it.

when you're sure you've got the right password since you're copying from the password manager but it doesn't accept it so you reset password then try to change it to the password you already have saved by pasting it in there but it's rejected because it insists your password be different than it was

Obligatory Halloween picture. I did Zumba in this thing, migawd does it smell like a real sloth.

Well, on a drive, just saw a crow attacking a bald eagle. It was incredible, and basically right next to the car because I was on a bridge and they were just to the side of it.

Absolutely loving @gamedevtv.bsky.social new Blender Grease Pencil course for 2D art. I've never done 2D in Blender before, but decided to check it out for fun. gamedev.tv/courses/blen... The term "grease pencil" is still disgusting, but the course is great! Taught by Grant Abbitt.

It seems like all of the new languages for developing on mobile (and many for the web) have landed on the same pattern, but different implementations and overall looks and feels for the actual execution. That bothers me, and makes my life as a mobile dev so much harder.

Well it's most certainly the best chicken noodle soup I've ever made. Doesn't sound like something to brag about, but I'm proud as hell. It's incredible.

It's soup season, woot! Made an incredible chicken noodle soup today, and, as with all my soups, it contains just a little bit of my sweat and blood**. **Shaved off a tiny piece of my thumb when peeling potatoes, dangit!

Honestly, the only way as an aging male I've found to feel attractive anymore is to go to Zumba class, not because people there aren't, but rather everyone there is, so I must be as well.

Well I've sent my manuscript for "I Thought I Figured Out What You Did Last Summer But Actually This is an Isekai Film Title" to my editor! Let's see how it goes. (This is a joke.)

The #GodotEngine team has to have some of the funniest branch names in all of #GitHub. I'm reviewing one on Control focus from @yeldham.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy for a blog post, and the branch name is just, "i_just_cant_keep_focused". Amazing. 10/10, no notes.

I wonder if people that use modern drawing/painting/modeling tools are more likely to die when they say, "I'm having a stroke," because they've made the pun for "stroke" way more often than anyone else.

Don't become your enemy. Become the thing that defeats them.

I figured it out. Before she went on the ice, someone told Tanya Harding to, "Break someone else's leg."
