"Japan needs its version of the AfD to rapidly save the nation." - Elon Musk, reacting to a Japanese user who very wrongly described Takaichi Sanae a "center-left figure." She's so conservative that a former Prime Minister Kishida allegedly referred to her as the "Taliban."

Still confused why so called moderates defend only one side during tragedy and not the other.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

Someone is really going to have to exclaim to me, how programmers... especially web programmers became so much more right leaning. Maybe it was always that way?

Commission for @rosencruez.bsky.social More costumed business! Maid, Glasses, and GUN! is a dangerous combination...

I don't go to tournaments all that often anymore, but when I do I always think that nothing is ever going to scratch that same itch that VSav does again.

There are no good corporate custodians. Giving up control of something run by the community to business interests has inevitable consequences.

I finally finished my deep-dive article on DOGWALK, like I promised :D All about making a playable character in Godot with a choppy animation style! Plenty of visual examples & code snippets! Took quite a while to put together. studio.blender.org/blog/playabl... #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

blue revolver sales help keep a roof over my head so if u like the game (or my work in general) please buy n share it with ur mates👍 store.steampowered.com/app/439490/B...

I saw some discussion about blueprints being awesome for non-programmers... but what happens when your code doesn't work? Do you spent 95% of your time dealing with code issues or do you hand over the code to programmers when things don't go so well?

Wanted to string together some of my most recent 2d and 3d animation tests into a rough "demo reel" Reminder that I'm always open to taking animation work as well as illustrations :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFih...

opening your new game announcement with this is so fucking funny and real

Arc System Works have collated all their presentations (in Japanese) on achieving their unique character style including skinning, rigging and rendering on this central “Academy” page.

Because I don't think I've posted this here yet: #Darkstalkers

Also from me, just went live: A piece about how the current state of fighting games has made the cost of competing far more expensive -- and how that keeps a lot of potential talent away from the limelight www.gamespot.com/articles/fig...

Working on Japanese gamedev teams means you have to contend with the idea that QA is outsourced and it only starts right when you're trying to ship.

Tonight at 8PM EST, we'll be airing the VODs from EVO BYOC Vampire Savior that were provided to us by Mop and Dr. Doctor! We'll have @vmpactionhank.bsky.social and Yetighettoslang on commentary, so tune in!

I'm very curious why many of us rarely post about math and physics on social media despite that being a huge motivating factor in many of our careers? Were we that traumatized by college math?

Going to do a bit of designy talk because why not. Defender's Quest 2 is winding down and, well, to say it had a bumpy production would be an understatement of the century, but I did the best I could with what we could get out the door. But I wanna talk about the design work I did for it.

Cannot get over how addicted Japanese companies are to chat bots instead of plain old web forms to do basic things. Usually they have 0 validation. You just send off a request and hope for the best.

a few days of work on the tilesets later, i think this stage select fits the Spooky Cave aesthetic nicely #Addlemoth #gamedev

reminder that if you wanna play a (now several years old sob) demo i made of this! it's available right here in your browser! mauve.itch.io/addlemoth

Reminder that the designers don't have a monopoly on ideas and problem solving. Conversely being an engineer doesn't mean you should be deferring all decisions to design.

The joke is... When you're writing netcode you need to log everything so of course you get blamed when something goes wrong online.

The only lesson I learned from game dev is to not log much of what your code does, less you get blamed for random crashes that happen near your log messages.

Don't know how many times I need to repeat that you cannot write code for offline and expect it to "just work" online, or with only some small tweaks.

Hi! This is your annual reminder that your fighting game character is supposed to have weaknesses. Retweet this whenever you need to remind someone.

Saw a video where some dude claimed there should be no input delay and no rollbacks in a scenario with a ping of 42ms... Ok buddy

"A local chapter of the Japanese Communist Party (...) has filed a criminal complaint against [Sanseito] over an allegedly false social media post". The post in question, by a former Tokyo Metropolitan police officer, alleged "many of my colleagues were murdered by Communist Party members."

Wondering how long it's gonna take for the FGC heads to get off Twitter and just go "oh my bad." At the end of it.

University towns are awesome. Just people willing to chat with you because of connections with this or that instructor.

I have 100% completed Balatro! Was a ton of fun to hunt for Completionist++. I play a few runs before bed and it's been a great part of my daily routine. I think it's also equipped me to better design the 1.1 update Pumped to do it all over again with the new content when it comes out!

We live in a different time from just five years ago. You can really be punished by the state for not having the right thoughts.

Back in Nara after nearly 10 years. Hope to not be assaulted by wild deer.
