eBay has rejected the unsolicited proposal from GameStop. "We have concluded that your proposal is neither credible nor attractive." For those that don't speak corporate Newspeak, this translates to: "Take your meme stocks, shove them up your arse then fuck off you crypto bro wanker!"

Epidemiologists Confirm First Airborne Transmission Of Mar-A-Lago Face https://theonion.com/epidemiologists-confirm-first-airborne-transmission-of-mar-a-lago-face-2/

Another nice sunny day if a little windy. I had a lovely walk along the beach were I got to flip off a Reform tour bus that was being filmed!

Learning new things is great! Today I learned of a much easier and better way of doing a thing after spending hours doing it the harder and worse way. LEARNING NEW THINGS IS FUN!

A long-awaited video game became far less appealing the moment it had entered a local man’s Steam library. paletteswap.site/dif...

Me: Right! Don't buy more games until you've finished a few of them! You need to save a bit of money Also me: oooo! Mouse PI looks fun...

More progress. I like the art-style I have for this game because it hides my shitty model work!

Don't worry about me. I'm wired wrong. So I lonely for like an hour tops and then I'm fine for another month or so. youtu.be/ji4sEfDXeDk

I'm a aromantic introvert that loves to wallow in goblin mode. But now and again it would be nice to have company. Even if it's to bore them about how clever I am for fixing something that doesn’t matter for a few minuets.

Looks like Bluesky is scuffed today. Too bad because I wanted to share that I got this bastard working! It took too long but I feel very accomplished and I'm in a weird mood now! Not sure were to focus this hyper energy.

I see America is now speed running the "Declaring victory then running away" category.

I would love to get my friends into game dev too so I can see what they would make. Even if it's just some basic non-linier storytelling. But I know it's bloody hard and most don't have the spite fuelled autistic motivation I have to learn and make this crap.

Yeah that's why I was a little quite this month. I wanted to see if I could make a little game in a month and not have it scope creep to buggery. And with an Easter theme, it had a hard cut off date.

I made a simple game about finding eggs! poisonedminds.itch.io/a-simple-gam...

Me: "Right! Time is getting short and I've not even started on the options menu yet!" Brain: "PUt iN A DuCK ThAT SWImS ARoUnD ThE LAkE!" #GameDev

Seeing how OpenAI were crossing their fingers when they said they would by half the world's RAM, prices are lowering. Don't buy anything yet. Wait until the market is flooded. Make them suffer.

You'd think after all this time I would be able to draw hands.

You know a GREAT thing about indy #gamedev ? Using multiple applications with different unrebindable shortcut keys and switching between them. Having your brain grind its gears every time you change them is SO MUCH FUN!

Sorry that I've been a bit quite lately. I've been working on a little side project.

DLSS 5 is proof that tech-bro CEOs HAVE to go. They will not stop until they destroy everything and they are crowned king of the pile of shit and ash they leave behind.

Work dumber not harder

Played Okami today. I drew dicks until the game got cross at me.

I don't think there's anything that feels more wrong than a new keyboard.

Terrain checklist for Unity #gamedev: * Create terrain. * Rise terrain because it starts at the minimum level for some idiotic reason. * Add paint layers. * Test paint layers:

I wish Adobe was still on Blusky SO I COULD FUCKING YELL AT THEM!

Other people: Oh I have no ideas! Me: TELL ME HOW YOU MAKE THE VOICES STOP!

Me: Creates a state machine that weighs tasks by distance and importance. Task importance are all set equal. The AI: Always picks the coffee machine at the far end of the map first without fail. I love #gamedev

Aide Wearily Begins 5th Explanation Of Why Trump Can’t Pardon Prince Andrew https://theonion.com/aide-wearily-begins-5th-explanation-of-why-trump-cant-pardon-prince-andrew/

In the gym they have these screens on the machines people watch TV or representations of a national park to run though. I watched YouTube tutorials on the @unity.com Cinemachine Deoccluder like the normal person that I am.

I just discovered something annoying. I've been using the Blender human armature to scale my models. I've just realised that it's 2 meters tall be default! For those that use burgers per school shooting; that's over 6 and a half feet! Not the end of the world but very irritating. I love #gamedev

Time for another "Looks really boring but was actually a pain in the arse to do!" #gamedev moment. This is a wall. It took me ages to figure out how to seamlessly tile the textures because google was once again, useless. The answer was obvious (the edges of UVs loop). Learning every day I guess!

It's not that I forgot my password, it's just I have nothing witty to say.

Steps. It's only a few shapes set out in arrays for optimisation... Look, it's really clever okay! Be impressed! #gamedev

relevant to many of yalls interests.

*Spends three hours trying to figure out how to do a thing* *Gives up and has lunch* *Comes back and figures it out in under five minutes* I love #GameDev !

Street Fighter II and Soucalibur are only eight years apart, the length of time it now takes to almost make one game before it is cancelled.

Me: "Right, let's get down to the gy..." Brain: "HEY! WOULDN'T IT BE FUNNY IF THEY REPLACED THE LIGHTSABERS IN STAR WARS WITH BASEBALL BATS AND THE JEDI RAN AROUND BEATING PEOPLE'S HEADS IN!" Me: "Why are you like this?"

Me: "Right, let's work on the g..." Brain: "HEY! I'VE SUDDENLY REMEMBERED A SONG I'VE NOT HEARD IN 20 YEARS!" youtu.be/SQ14TMcDBEI

*Makes coffee vending machine asset for his game.* *Spends an hour adding details like buttons and a coin mechanism and nozzles.* *Remembers that this coffee machine is only visible through an old, low rez CCTV camera* *Deletes all the details the player will never see for performance.* FML

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

If I was ever going to suggest something is that if you're working on a big creative thing, work on a small thing on the side. Preferably something out of your comfort zone were you have to learn something new. Not only is it a break from big thing but you get ideas and new skill for big thing.

I sure do love following tutorials and it not working. Love that. That and falling asleep in the middle of them and having to rewatch them

Again, we don't hate the head of Epic enough.
