Grateful for every minute I get to spend with this creature.

Took the dogs to an oak preserve nearby to get some portraits today. It’s really beautiful here.

This is why I’ve never been that sad that I stepped away from Tiny Table Index and let other folks take up the data and run with it. 1,000 solo and duet TTRPGs in one spot is such a cool milestone!

Decided that, after working on my small mod Hoard, I’d play with making a mod for my #Minecraft companion game Waywright Coming along pretty nicely! Simple chronological feed of entries, generic enough to use outside of Waywright No more ALT+Tabbing out of the game to make a log entry

“Why is no one being persecuted over the Epstein files?” They have class solidarity. If we want things changed we also need to develop some class solidarity.

Another little update to this littler personal #Minecraft mod, learned how to hook into other mods and created a simple plugin for the one that shows what block you're looking at in the modpack I play. Now when I look at an item or block I havent collected yet, it will show me!

Added a simple Favorites feature this morning to my Hoard mod for #Minecraft where I can right-click items in the Hoard view to mark them, then view just my favorites in the dropdown. I had thought to implement block palettes, but this seems like it would serve a relatively similar purpose.

Finally figured out how to build a #Minecraft mod I've wanted for a long time! Hoard tracks what blocks and items you've collected and lets you grab a single or a stack from a sortable UI. Turns survival into creative-lite, only able to build creatively with the blocks you've collected so far

Playing with an idea for a little fun tool to build Minecraft schematics with an instance's full registry of modded blocks. First steps are mostly re-learning Godot and starting to play with the ability to instantiate blocks on a grid.

Don't ever talk to me or my son again

This new patent from Meta that "lets" you live on forever as an AI ghost in your feed makes me worry that the boomers are never going away. We're going to end up with an immortal ruling class that requires more and more datacenters to be built to give them more power to run.

Diet Dr. Pepper for scale

SHUT UP APPLE YOU’RE NOT MY REAL DAD *door slam*

26 years later and “Hybrid Theory” by Linkin Park is still such a unique sound. I haven’t listened to it in years, and it still grabs me.

Well that's my kingdom gone, I suppose. Just came across a mod I hadn't tried before that lets you choose which biome you spawn in. There's also a version for forcing your spawn to be in a village, which is interesting for getting set up. They're compatible, too!

You ever decide "I want to play Minecraft" and end up spending hours spawning new worlds because the ones you get aren't juuuuust right? Yeah.... me neither...

I don’t take anyone complaining that Bad Bunny performed at the Super Bowl in Spanish seriously. What an unserious thing to care about.

Hey tabletop gamers, if you bought or were considering buying this bundle but got overwhelmed by the number of games to sort through, have I got the spreadsheet for you!! All 1,074 games tagged as "physical" sorted by play style, with language, engine, and genre notated to the best of my ability:

"Joy is an act of resistance" is important, but joy and creativity can't be the only thing we do in the face of the world that is showing itself to us. If all we do is focus on things that bring us joy, things that make us happy, we're just sticking our heads in the sand.

Bestieeeeees

God, football is boring

That feeling when you had a really great idea, went to write it down, and another idea from last night pops up so you have to write THAT down… And then you’ve forgotten the original idea, only left with the sense that there WAS one

I dunno what all the hubbub was, so far Starfleet Academy is delightful

One of my goals this year is to finish some of the games that I've actually just... never beaten. I'm not great at getting to the credits, I usually get too distracted. First one down! Finally defeated the Moon Lord in Terraria this afternoon.

I reread many of Becky Chambers’ books every year, but somehow I never picked up “To Be Taught, If Fortunate.” Really interesting science fiction read, about halfway through. Hasn’t given me the same feeling of a balm against the world that the others do, but still good.

This green and pyrite combo is just too good. I normally prefer a single stone per bracelet, but this was too nice not to mix

I realize that there are worse things in the world than my having to wake up at 6AM for work every day now, but LORD I am not adjusting well

My friend taught me how to string stone beads into stretchy bracelets and I LOVE how my new stack of pyrite, tree agate, and moss agate feels.

A close look at the enchanted forest map for the upcoming Perils & Princesses TTRPG adventure “The Princess & The Dragon.” I love taking a simple point crawl and injecting it with atmosphere and style. Dropping an evocative world map on the table really entices players to explore.

This kind of thing really boils my blood. People get bled, rich corporations who made enough money to solve so many problems just hoard it all.

It’s really important to remember that removing the corpo-fascist figureheads we all despise won’t dismantle the systems that created and enabled them. There’s more to the hydra than just its heads.

Stargazer, my solo character exploration game, is going to testers today and I am SO ready to get this one out! It's been "in progress" (aka on the back burner) since 2021, and I think it is going to be such a good Etherscout Handbook. Here's sneak peek at the working version of the game's star map

TikTok is almost completely ads, TikTok Shop videos, or videos by people I blocked/reported for spam a week ago. Always makes me worried what news is about to come out when this happens.

If you're into the idea of a solo TTRPG that you play alongside #Minecraft to make it an objective-driven story game, or just like the look of this design and the idea of the Etherscouts? Become an Etherscout and pick up the free Readiness Assessment for Waywright, a preview of the full game

It's time... for a cover progress reveal! Waywright is my solo companion game for #Minecraft, a creative storytelling tool that turns sandbox games into narrative engines. Complete the game and you can earn the Waywright Badge, as well! This is a digital reward for now, but in the future? 🤔

Keeping my mind busy by working on the new Etherscouts website, upgrading the signup form a bit with a nice preview of what your Designation will look like! Enjoying re-developing the site using Django for sure. Wordpress is nice, but the level of control and my comfort in Python over PHP is great

This is so cool! An effort by the French government to replace dependency on US tech companies by building their own productivity suite. No Google, no Microsoft (other than GitHub hosting I guess) And built on Django, my favorite app framework

🚨 We have just over 3 days left of the No ICE in Minnesota Game Jam before we start prepping for the Charity Bundle. No late submissions will be accepted so we can start on time on February 9. 🚨 Thank you to everyone joining and sharing the bundle’s game jam 🖤

Well chalk another win to the vibe of “I’ve never tried that before and it looks weird, let’s get one” and the Bread Banana

Glad I don’t use Hootsuite these days. Seems like a great service to drop if you or your business use it.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

There’s something so refreshing about finishing a task in a project and closing a bunch of tabs.

Lately I’ve started to wonder if part of why it’s so hard to get US citizens to unite and act is the availability of internet comment sections. It’s a lot easier to get a nice dopamine hit from typing “That’s terrible, someone out to do something” than being the person to do something

God, I’m so looking forward to spending the whole midterm election cycle being talked down to like a child by elected Democrats explaining why we just can’t abolish ICE and just can’t stop sending billions to Israel.

MaRY

As the Boundless website is getting close to its 10,000th view I decided to move all the community content to the front of the website to share the spotlight on all Boundless games. If you make one, send me a DM so I add it to the library ! boundless.farirpgs.com

Well shit, I’m hooked on Epic: The Musical again

Oh look it’s #portfolioday I’m Ryan. I illustrate nostalgic textural fairy tale and fantasy art.
