My gf asked me what kind of game Aseprite was yesterday because me and one of her other friends had so many hours in it on steam so it must be really good 🤣

🤯

15 colors, 8 frame loop, pixelart. Had uploaded this before, but hope the quality this time will be better.

YES

I recently deleted Persona 5X (AKA the Persona 5 gacha game) from my phone. That wasn't because it wasn't good, it was, with its own cast and story. Rather, the daily stamina loop required far too much waiting around. Also I've been max level for months, so my characters don't really grow anymore. 🤷

And the winner is Viking Sword and Shield! This free printable design is 9 parts that connect to make a roughly 82 cm prop. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2658996 3D printing an entire Viking Shield doesn't seem practical (parts for one yes). Many prop making Viking Shield tutorials suggest using foam.

Relationship advice: Date someone who likes swords, or if that's you, someone who can make them. 💕⚔️

Wife: Am I remembering correctly, but don't you have a sword somewhere? Me: Two actually, practice katanas. Wife: 😳... WHY AM I ONLY LEARNING YOU HAVE TWO NOW?!? Me: You never asked. Also self preservation.

how does valve expect the steam machine to gain any traction if it doesnt come with microsoft teams pre-installed on it i wonder

Towlrs should make a comeback

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

Financial issues aside, I'm feeling kinda good. Got a request to help fix a thing for a couple hundred, and while that doesn't solve my income issues, getting asked to do it did make me feel good. 😊 I'm going to sleep on it first, but at this very moment I'm enjoying the affirmation dopamine. 😊

IMO this is awesome. It'll still be a kludge for a while as ARM SBC's don't lend themselves to PC upgradability as well as x86_64, but being free of MALI and Snapdragon GPU limitations will make non-Apple ARM workstations far more viable. Also IMO Intel GPUs offer a pretty great bang-for-buck.

Shit shit shit. Difficult realization that we're financially at our limit. I need work yesterday to support my wife and I. At this point, anything goes. Full time, part time, you pay and I code for you. I'm a 20+ year pro software/gamedev in "Fake London" Canada mikekasprzak.com/Resume-MikeK...

Egads... If you count my teenage years of BBS's I've been doing this "community" thing for a ridiculously long time... 😓

It's f*cking sad that black and trans folk need to fork your social network because they can't trust you to consider or respect them as human beings.

Ugh. I didn't want to get into the failures of BlueSky moderation, but the lack of action against this supposed "government account" for literal death threats is appalling. 👎 I mean you just banned Patton Oswald, a f*cking comedian, for expressing disgust in colorful language. Do better.

That is, basically, how you make a kid.

Making video games is cool, but have you considered other revenue sources? 🤑

I agree with the sentiment, but if the Steam Hardware family succeeds, it's a bigger problem for the publishers that demand it (and other invasive DRMs). No video game actually needs un-sandboxed access to your system. On demand file access to save/load/import data, sure, but never full access.

Look what I made with my computer

How do velocity sensitive keys work? www.openmusiclabs.com/learning/dig... Each key is actually 2 push-buttons that trigger at slightly different heights. Looking at the difference between the times each button was pressed gives you something you can use as velocity (I.e. loudness). 🎹

Don't ask me how many I ate today. I can't give you an honest answer. 🤤

Man, he isn’t kidding…

😱... Did they? 😱

Hey, the newly announced Steam Frame runs SteamOS and a Snapdragon processor. Low key, this *should* mean that the Steam store needs to run on and support Linux on ARM! 😱

Hello GothCube. #Steam #SteamMachine

Thank you for this checkbox, @vscode.dev

Gathered my big cooking pots and I'm off to help my folks make Cabbage Rolls. 😋

😱... epiphany that I could just make a weirdo MIDI controller if I wanted to. 🎹

Was having a good night until I dropped my insulated water bottle and the plastic lid shattered

It's not weird that I'm looking at hinges, is it?

I do love underscores.

Me, I think Zelda 2 for NES is the best Zelda. Fight me, I won't fight back.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

welcome

I wish boycotting worked.

Tomorrow is 11.11, AKA "Singles Day", which is basically AliExpress Prime Day...though it's debatable if Prime Day prices are even deals. I'm not eyeing much, but I've been waiting to grab parts for a hypothetical cyberdeck project. Primarily a low profile mechanical keyboard, and some adapters.

Please pay more for Unity starting in January. Also we've deprecated physics. 🤔

Academically, what is this? Would you call it absurdist comedy? It makes me smile, but my wife doesn't care. My best guess is that I'm impressed by the performance, the perfect take on Lounge music, the fun of his alter's confusion mirroring ours, and a shifty Dirt Man. youtube.com/shorts/k4zDK...

Feeling the music itch, but first world problems. 😅 I've got a bunch of unique audio gear that I wish I could just "remote into" and start playing. The Roland SoundCanvas is probably the best known, but the Yamaha MU and the Korg with the "SotN soundfont" are pretty sweet too. I also run Linux. 😖

Eep! This external drive no longer works. 😅 I think I cooked a few traces. I discovered there was some sort of epoxy in the backside of the USB connector (waterproofing?), and a couple traces don't seem to be there anymore. 😅 On the upside, I do know the guts are ok. 😅

He's back

Stretch goal #2: credits by castpixel. That's me, I'll be animating the credits. 😌🥹

This is the future leftists want

YT Video: "Hall effect keyboards are getting too cheap" ME: "SHUT YOUR FACE" This argument/statement is forever shit regardless of the technology. Stop saying it. We don't live in a world where things becoming affordable hurts people; We live in one where things being unaffordable do! #Pedantic

It's me.
