me: ugh god you know how you make plans for friday night but then friday night gets there and you don't want to do it and it feels sooooooo good to cancel? my liege lord Daimyō Nobunaga (unsheathing katana): even a dog understands loyalty. She whose word is not bond does not deserve to live

oh yeah, forgot the customary gogomi screenshots!

hades 2’s arcana system reminds me of what i wanted to make for compass card wrapped, i.e. you unlock cards based on your transit history

friend and i walked kensington-cedar cottage. followed the reds on our gogomi and the gradients on the trees

some personal news: i'm on a break! updated kevindeyoungster.com with a statement (speech bubble), and my first attempt at a poem this year (hidden in the nascent undergrowth)

Sleepyheads are basically obsessed with nodding off

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

okay!

stumbled upon Oskar's Townscaper back in 2020 while deep in the procgen rabbit hole. he was sharing devlog GIFs of his progress building it. was nice to see algos in art (wave function collapse + marching cubes) www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xrR...

🤣 close! When I first plotted my gpx traces, "Gogomi" popped in my head (it's Ga* for 'worm'). That it also sounds like 'go-go-me' (movement) is a bilingual pun *Ghanaian coastal language

We met up at Elysian Coffee! First time meeting a gogomite IRL and it was so satisfying hearing him share how he uses Gogomi ~every day. Really cool seeing someone nerd out about something you made!

Some people don't like my home screen folders / organization system.

The writing in this post is superb. drobinin.com/posts/how-i-...

i eventually came around to apple photos: store everything on-device, hook up osxphotos + some code generator so i can query like: “photos of houseplants at <location> and <location> in the morning” github.com/RhetTbull/os...

faustian bargaining comes after faustian anger but before faustian depression

'ozeba' is the kind of song i imagine goblins listen to when getting ready to terrorise the neighbouring village

played silksong better in handheld mode than on the tv. guess the lower latency/tighter controls really help stay locked-in during combat (almost done with act 2 now)

tasted are.na fame (20+ connections) when i bookmarked this:

*[sips mocha] north american beverage culture is fascinating. if i wanted this civilsation to collapse, i'd just make all coffee disappear

Of course they did: blog.nataliethenerd.com/i-turned-the... When I was building mine last night, the thought did flutter through my mind that this could fit a pi zero and a display to emulate, but @nataliethenerd.com went down the good path with a custom PCB. So cool.

Vancouver Game Garden 2025 IS NOW OVER!! Thank you to all of our lovely attendees, exhibitors, and volunteers for making this event such a welcoming and fun time for gamers and game devs of all ages and walks of life. We’ll see you next year for more local indie games, art, and talks! 🌻✨

i'm rarely downtown so i often bundle errands when i visit 😆 - pass by @vangamegarden.bsky.social (was fun!) - catch up with my friend at meta (heard some heinous things the company's doing) - pick up new vol. to start a collection - cover some unexplored paths with gogomi

Won't be surprised to find some entities planning to pull a Grab. The fragmented supply chain is a wicked problem in the region, and I see how the streets of Accra make a great test bed for data gathering restofworld.org/2024/grab-go...

didn't expect "the dispossessed" to be so popular, had to return my hold earlier than expected. on the bright side, my other hold is in, so this is more like a hot swap. ps: this coleus on the sidewalk made me smile, its edges were stimulating

ME ON A TRAIN: Oh no, I accidentally clicked a video with sound! Oh god, people heard a second of loud sound from my phone. I have torn the social contract. EVERYBODY ELSE ON TRAIN: Shit yeah, train time, time to watch the loudest TikToks

good

was actually disappointed when I beat the first sinner after five tries. wanted to keep going. great boss fight!

first morning in weeks I've woken up not sick. have ideas for my next walk expedition :)

try not to play hades II until you finish silksong challenge 😤

Friend and I rushed to get Demon Slayer tickets at Metrotown last night. Didn't notice the '4dx'. Much popcorn was spilled

I was doing some software history research and stumbled on this absolutely FASCINATING letter from 1964: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... Some random defense contractor writes in to say "You should deliver a minimal prototype as fast as possible to get feedback and involve users at every stage of labor"

Almost perfect run. The great thing about watching someone play calmly is you kinda see how much difficulty comes just from over complicating things.
