Friday night rippin’

Asked my bank rep about why some things need to be done needlessly manually instead of being more integrated via the bank’s web interface and using PR language they basically said it’s because of spaghetti code lol

Skipping GodotCon this year. Had to. For a very good reason. I've become a dad! What a feeling! :D

I'm a stoppable force of nature.

Speaking about smart playlists - shuffle is overrated, just give me tracks ordered by the time passed since I listened to them. #navidrome

as much as i love #navidrome, the documentation for Smart Playlists is a bit ass. i know it's in beta, but there could be more examples. Wanted to reference another playlist, and didn't get how the inPlaylist operator works, so here's a working example if you happen to be in the same trouble:

neovim 0.12 is out, and while it finally broke an unmaintained plugin for me, it sports a cool, updated splash screen.

For all of you who want to dig into the @goldenidol.bsky.social lore, Tyllurium just released a six hour video essay which should leave no questions unanswered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF0V... #goldenidol #theriseofthegoldenidol

And this is one of the reasons I will keep buying CDs.

I want to write a little blog post, but I gotta beat my Counter-Strike addiction first.

Congrats to Mega Crit! Also, what a win for Godot and the people maintaining the third party integrations for FMOD and Spine. I'm not a roguelike enjoyer myself, but happy for the people who waited for this one to come out.

if you are Godot curious, best follow @akien.bsky.social as he consistently reposts the coolest things happening in the Godot community! #godotengine

Saw Igorrr in Tallin and this must be one of my favorite shows of all time now. Absolutely blown away by the musicianship, the sound, the production, everything. What an experience!

Married my girlfriend!

I'm glad I thought that setting myself as a one year old would be funnny

shoutouts to the folks at Playstack for patching up the mobile version!

didn't focus that much on music last year, but trying to do better this year. here's the guitar solo from a track of mine called "Marshland". www.youtube.com/shorts/qaaYS...

Is it me or are you actually kinda screwed if you want to output locale-aware date time with #godotengine?

We are delighted to have won Best Expansion at the 3rd annual @thinkygames.com awards yesterday! Thank you Thinky Games, and well done to all the nominees 👏

the lung got ironed quite well. 10/10 movie.

i mention this every chance I can - the majority of scripting for The Rise of the Golden Idol was done on and multiple of Windows production builds were exported right from Linux, so, in terms of Godot gamedev, Linux is a nobrainer.

Found out that my local cinema is actually gonna show Markiplier's Iron Lung movie on the weekend!

Godot 4.6 is loaded with good stuff. always happy for the little things like language server improvements, but very much looking forward to the crazy boost in DX.

i think with the open nature of Godot, it only makes sense that the developer communities ditch discord in general. (not talking about game communities - you gotta be where your players are, of course.)

building a beginner's guide for audio programming. it'll cover the physics of sound and DSP math, and teach concepts with practical code examples in Rust and JavaScript. anyone interested? 🎧

new gym session length personal PB! (I forgot the house keys, and my fiancé was at a concert, so not like I could be anywhere else anyway)

A significant amount of content work for The Rise of the Golden Idol was done in LibreOffice Calc, because Microsoft Excel is pure dog turd with CSV files.

Paul Alexander, the composer for The Rise of the Golden Idol, has been posting some "making of" videos. Pretty cool insights! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-5F...

Happy new year! Last year I focused quite a bit on programming. Still got heaps to do in that department, but this year I want to get back more into music, dust off Ableton, practice more guitar and, hopefully, release something I can proudly call my own.

as a kid I watched my dad and half-brother play through this gem over and over again. Good memories!

such a BANGER soundtrack!

Peace, love and happiness to everyone! Happy winter solistice or whatever the equivalent is in your culture!

same thing with music. I've remade the current track i'm working on, basically, almost from scratch, cause I didn't like where it was going, and it has changed quite a lot since that. It's fun witnessing this evolution, all the happy accidents which inspire more ideas. You get none of that with AI.

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

I feel seen

I had the opportunity to play guitar in the backing band at a friends' vocal school's anniversary celebration concert. One of the cooler moments was sharing the stage with this girl performing a fantastic cover version of "Hallelujah"! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWYD...

in related news - this friday is bandcamp friday, where 100% of the profit goes to the artist!

oh hey, it's my triptych on the link cover!

an EGA golden-idol like which you can run on period-accurate hardware. crazy cool!

New short horror game out now! Available for free!

Trepang2 was a hell of a good time!

Game Designer and AI Programmer looking at this together, trying to figure out a way to avoid this (currently 10% repro rate after 6h of gameplay)

Did you ever want to develop a game with #GodotEngine 1.0? Its binaries were lost to time, but earlier this year I fixed compilation with modern toolchains, so I could rebuild it for desktop platforms. That's now merged: github.com/godotengine/... Downloads: github.com/godotengine/...

one word - Vivaldi (if you don't mind the chromium base)

I don't really use Blender on my day-to-day, but this is, like, one of the most important pieces of software in the game industry. Threw in a fiver and encourage you to do the same, if you have the possibility. Support open source software!

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare
