RISING festival program and ticketing is out. Heading down to Melb in June to see Wednesday and Cate Le Bon, and Tortoise, Stereolab and The Beta Band on the side. There is so much music to look forward to

spent the day redoing my little photography/gig diary blog to be a bit more interactive. it's been fun having a little outlet for all my photography stuff and been fun to design it like a gig poster gigdiary.neocities.org

used the long weekend to start a little social sim / incremental game called SO WHAT ARE U INTO??? where you create a town of guys who have weird interests, start gangs and fight each other over them. there can only be one Hat Gang #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

Fired up my old iPod Touch which is still working despite having not touched it since about 2014. Dream pop jumpscare

I'm obsessed with shitty 2000s dance-punk; an offshoot of my favorite genre. It's annoying and danceable and reminds me of mainstream rock radio, watching Video Hits and playing FIFA games as a kid. Welcome recs to make this playlist even worse open.spotify.com/playlist/48C...

morrowind on the bus

you can still visit the sydney monorail website. unlike the monorail itself, they never took it down for some reason www.metromonorail.com.au

such a good feeling when your fav band are returning to australia after six years

starting out a website that collates all the weird links, cool sites and memories of the internet i've saved up over the years - part time capsule, part aggregator, part research. why not, right? whatwebwas.com #internet #webdesign #website

imagining a world where mobile browsers never took off and web design continued to use sprawling exploratory newspaperlike layouts

saw TOPS. they were really good onstage and fun to see an intl band play at an intimate venue like a suburban cafe. cop if you like magdalena bay style sugary pop with a seventies soft rock bent

when life gives you nothing, make nothingade

Incredible and inspiring! I asked ChatGPT to create a caricature of me based on all the data it harvested about my personal life and here's the amazing image it came up with

me praying for capital gains tax discount reform

is it normal to get intrusive thoughts but for things your brain has dormantly stored for 20+ years like this 1987 dinosaur vhs music video i almost certainly haven't seen since i was like 8 years old but still know the lyrics to somehow youtu.be/fNeAINi9omo?...

wow they finally made a horror game about my sex life

I'm caffeine intolerant due to autonomic dysfunction and order decaf anyway because I have no self preservation instinct. It backfires 3% of the time and I accidentally drink a real one and freak out. This doesn't stop me from continuing to order it every day

people from other countries love it when you, an australian, call them mate. its like free camaradierie. everyone enjoys it and it takes no effort

I should post more thirst traps on here. Sorry if that isnt a vibe

trying to fine tune a file explorer for the hard drive i dump terabtyes of old games on. thank you IGDB for letting me scrape the data

VOIDLAND is live! It's a mining and survival roguelike game that was made in one week for the Game-Like Jam #7. Infinite procedurally generated dungeons to mine, fight and die in, a tech tree, and a map system. You can play it here: hypertelex.itch.io/voidland #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

idk coding weird little games is all i really have going for me at the moment

Home stretch for VOIDLAND with under a day left to fine-tune and sand off all the rough edges. It's looking like a pretty complete roguelike experience so far! Added a tech tree too. Will publish on itch and submit to the jam tomorrow afternoon. #gamedev #gamejam #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

here's a prototype for the @hypergame.dev roguelike jam i started this week. it's part-roguelike, part tower defence, part crafting. you mine resources in a procgen cave underground when the swarm is away, and fight them above when they arrive #gamedev #indiegame #roguelike

Never wore a singlet for self esteem reasons. I think they're cute though and am gonna try and do more of that. Work on my arms and confidence. Singlet summer

coding a roguelike over the weekend as a self-help activity

might make a full version of this there is absolutely a market for "balatro but dice" right

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

thinking of becoming a Flight Deals guy. you know the kind of guy. you dont hear from them until suddenly they're in Uzbekistan they got a really good deal on going to Uzbekistan the layover was fine check out my reels on instagram eating Uzbek food its good

going up to my local cafe and asking if i can just have a single item. like a boiled egg. they let me do it. i'm not sure if it inconveniences anyone but you can absolutely go "hey can i just have one of your avocados"

i want to eat the new zealand election mascot. he looks like he would taste like orange jello. i dont care if i bite into him and it turns out to be flesh and blood i MUST know what he tastes like

olfactory memory is a weird thing. i dont really have a great sense of smell since getting covid but my brain has an entire lobe dedicated to remembering the new plastic smell of my xbox controller in 2004

the irony isnt lost on me that i had to upgrade my computer to play a remaster of a game that was released in 2006 that i could have played...on the windows xp machine right next to my computer

they need a term to describe the state of suspicion that you may, in fact, be very neurodiverse, but as you don't really have a plan to investigate it or any benefits from diagnosis, you just stew in the glorious ambiguity of your own metacognition

Created a game in 48 hours over the weekend for #minijam 202 called Dicebreaker. It's a little dice throwing game made to look like an old Windows 3.1 desktop title. Was fun figuring out how to design a staged puzzle game with nothing but dice! hypertelex.itch.io/dicebreaker #gamedev #indiedev

stretch marks are a normal thing that bodies do. i have big thighs so they run up my leg. i have learned to like them. heaps of people have them and people can be kind of weird talking about them as if they mean anything

i am discovering that you can just buy weights and lift them up and down at home without having to listen to gym music or have a pt tell you to do it. this is what milennials called a "life hack" in 2014. its legal and cops will let you do it

photos of me in 2016? nope. i was a goblin twink with no self esteem. i dont think i even took selfies of myself in 2016. ive grown a lot since then. i think i am hotter and happier leaving my early twenties behind tbh

thinking of getting into world of warcraft. is that still a thing. i miss sinking all my productive time into an mmo

favorite genre: the hottest women you know doing cheesy action movies and everything is blue

its 2026 so you know what that means! ten mental health care plan appointments just dropped baby!!!

I miss old capitalist techno-utopianism which was less AI and designer peptides and bitcoin and more like "what if you could live in an arcology?" or "what if you could ride a monorail into work?" these were simplistic and completely unworkable ideas that everyone could root for

ROTOSOK is going well. It's sokoban but it rotates. Trying to introduce a different mechanic each level too. Made a main menu, level select and editor so kinda feels like the gameplay loop is there - just gotta make puzzles~ #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

perfume genius pics came back underexposed but go kinda hard

making a minimalist sokoban style game with a level editor to pass the time over the break. sokoban except the grid is a diamond and it rotates. that's a gimmick, right?

this is what happens to film when you forget that it's in your backpack and it goes through airport security xrays a few times
