I often rant about some code horrors at work, but today I was writing some SQL and realized how nearly every time I do that I'm pleasantly surprised.

Looks nice, tastes as it should, sugar is a bit too thick for some of them but overal pretty good. Until you realize you basically gotta either eat it out of that or scoop it out which is a devastating aesthetics hit.

Note to self, crème brulee in a muffin tin works fine until you need to get them out.

"Sure I can try a new board game" - Me, a buffoon before being confused out of my mind for five hours straight trying to discern the significant difference between 500 heavily keyworded cards, six types of tokens and a 50 page manual, the later half of which is reaerved for conflict resolution

Did a little post-jam write-up as a treat to myself mostly. haihala.github.io/blog/mankind...

Something that I should've included in this post but forgot is that I would love to hear how the game reads to you. What you thought the objective was if any, what you thought the message was if any, stuff like that.

Global Game Jam (GGJ) / Finnish Game Jam (FGJ) is done and I can finally stare at a blank wall until the voices go away. I paired up with a coworker to make: haihala.github.io/mankind-knew/. You can find pretty pictures, videos, links and what have you over yonder: globalgamejam.org/games/2025/m...

Dreadfully off brand to be positive, but I watched Arcane s2 and Castlevania: Nocturne s2 back to back and wholeheartedly recommend both. If you had to pick one it should probably be Arcane, but what a glow-up in the Nocturne camp.

@gameengines.bsky.social I would like Godot please!
