Lukewarm take: Dating Sims and Gacha games are just fishing games with worse mechanics and hotter fish.

You're just mad because I made out with your ex. I'm mad that you tasted better than they did. We are not the same.

I give you credit for the strings you pulled, but I'm still at the end of the threads.

Writing custom vtuber software is hard, but it's also teaching me a lot about animation and rigging systems. #developer #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #unity3d #gamedev #Vtuber

A key point of my stories is subversive narration coupled with intense subterfuge. Lying to the reader or the player from the first word, to the last punctuation. #developer #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #storytelling #gamedev #unity #Vtuber

The "Rule of thirds" in UI/UX design has been helping me with making menus and worldspace UI - now I just want to find animated icons for that next level of polish. #gamedev #Vtuber #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #dotnet #csharp #unity #unity3d #gui

Selecting music for my games is such a challenging experience, and a fun way to test how much I perceive emotional depth. Note - I'm a stranger to empathy, sympathy, and remorse. #gamedev #Vtuber #twitchstreamer #dotnet #csharp #unity #unity3d

UniTask and ZLinq have been really cool to work with - and man, it's motivational to see what people come up with! #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #developer #gamedev #unity #Vtuber #dotnet #csharp #unity3d

One of the hardest non-coding things I'm facing is the overall feeling of sacrifice and loss for my characters. The problem with writing a story for so long, is that none of your characters survive. #gamedev #Vtuber #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #developer #unity3d #storybuilding

Putting together a set of music and sound effects is a great roadtripping activity. The problem is sorting through and filtering 340+ gigs of audio... #Vtuber #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #developer #gamedev #unity #unity3d

I'm more than happy to play my role as the villain in your story.

I find the hardest part right now in my games is wrapping my head around #Animancer and the concept of Finite State Machines. So many exciting things to learn! #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #developer #gamedev #unity #Vtuber #dotnet #csharp #unity3d

Congrats to the new and returning #MVPs - one day I'll hopefully be able to qualify. Looking forward to working hard towards it! #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #developer #gamedev #unity #Vtuber #dotnet #csharp #Blazor

Oh yeah, we're going to be integrating a lot of new functions in the next stream. Maybe even a demo for Leona and Bastian! #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #developer #gamedev #unity #Vtuber

We're slowly getting there - just a bit more on this last push before Leona and Bastian can have full fledged games. It's been a long, exciting, and difficult road. #gamedev #Vtuber #twitchstreamer #dotnet #csharp #unity #unity3d

A lot of changes are coming through. Time to work harder than ever

Try as you might, my hope burns bright. (old photo, but always inspiring hope). Got this after my 3 year Sobriety anniversary. #bluelantern #lanterncorps #dccomics #Vtuber #hopeburnsbright #sobrietyjourney

Some days I find myself understanding Unity apis. Then I remember to wake up. #gamedev #Vtuber #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #softwaredevelopment #programming

Man, taking some time to work on this game, and get some fresh air is pretty cool. But we'll be back in August, with a huge slate of work! Stay tuned. #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #developer #gamedev #unity #dotnet

So many things to do, so little time to accomplish them in

Gonna go live for the first time in a while tonight. We have a lot to address and much work to do. #gamedev #Vtuber #twitchstreamer #dotnet #csharp #unity #unity3d twitch.tv/aluthecrow

Thinking of getting started on my Cybernetic bat vtuber avatar

Maybe a little broke lol So could I interest anyone in some icon commissions? $25 USD each! (500px max size, full digital) All I need is a SFW ref, and a preferred expression/theme/meme! Payment via Paypal or Ko-Fi! I try to keep my turnarounds within a week! #jakcomms

The best #Blazor component library with amazing transparency. Go check out Blazorise for all your front end needs!

Exploring Tamriel in the Oblivion remake, while discussing the way it was remade - also thanks @danielreilly.bsky.social and @seminolemonstars.bsky.social for your raids and listening to my nerdy rants! #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #developer #oblivion

Working on a Weather Alerts system and extension before severe weather season gets worse. I'll try to get the twitch extension out ASAP. #twitchstreamer #programming #dotnet #weathersafety #weatheraware

We have a catastrophic tornado in progress in northeast Arkansas, on top of dozens of warnings. This is not good. The severe weather is increasing in destruction.

I need a boykisser emote #twitchstreamer #acepride #Vtuber #acedragon #dragonvtuber

Got the icons I needed for my Eve of Midnight games. Now I have them in Pixel Art, as well as a Low Poly style. Looking forward to using them in my games. #gamedev #Vtuber #twitchstreamer #dotnet #csharp #unity #unity3d

These cuts to NWS and other public safety agencies should be much more alarming. Less weather balloons right as we approach a severe weather season, let alone after the massive outbreak we had last weekend is terrifying - Less data means you will be less safe. #nws #weatheraware #severeweather

Oh yeah - I will also be updating Omen Craft, Corvus Monstrum, and my various minecraft mods soon ™️ - I just have other concerns on my plate at the moment. #gamedev #Vtuber #twitchstreamer #java #minecraft #minecraftmodding #gamemods #modpack #moddev

One of the hardest parts for developing Leona has been figuring out #Animancer - and trying to ensure we have enough animations for each state. #csharp #programming #twitchstreamer #gamedev #unity

I don't like gaming. I haven't liked it for a long time. I love programming and coding. I love coding games and watching people have fun. Make it make sense. #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #programming #dotnet #gamedev #burnout
