I promise I've been working on Comet Angel art like a good little dev but it's mostly pretty uninteresting stuff at the moment so here's some traditional I did of Nat instead <3 #gamedev #indiedev #visualnovel

Updaed the style sheets for DevTalk's mascots.

im entering my kirby with a knife era

This week’s main story is about trans athletes, where the conversation around them is coming from, the nuances around competition and safety, and where it looks like things might be going. Full segment at the link in our bio.

I do the same thing, just not Resident Evil.

I don't know the details, but if she's a non-violent offender, I say release her and cut her a check for a percent of that 1.5m. It's a far saner thing to do than shifting her into a men's prison.

New baby ferret. We're thinking of naming him Gizmo. #ferret

Okay but this really happened and I'm looking for work.

Ayo happy #TransDayOfVisibility

Guess whose birthday it is

Not really that hard hitting. I didn't believe myself the last time I travelled back in time. I can't imagine why it'd work this time, esp. with only 30 minutes for it. Maybe just a list of lottery tickets and dates. It's easier to not give a fuck when you have fuck you money.

Today really caught me off guard. It's been-- the kind of year it's been, but my friends got together and sucker punched me with feelings. I spent most of the afternoon hanging them up. You have no idea how hard this hit me and is still hitting me. I love y'all so much. Thank you!!

Chrono Trigger turns 30 today - it first released on this day in 1995. A project led by the collaboration 'dream team' of Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy, lower right), Yuji Horii (Dragon Quest, top right) and Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball, left). Arguably one of the greatest RPGs of all time.

Last Friday I lost my job to MSP outsourcing. It didn't really come as a surprise, but it's still overwhelming. I'm looking for new roles in IT leadership and senior level development. I'm aiming to be fully out in the next stage of my career. No hiding passions. No hiding me.

Digging through LinkedIn's API and watching the feed is vaguely concerning. Everyone I know is saying they're going to go look on LinkedIn for jobs, but I have no idea if people actually get jobs through it.

With alt text.

I came out publicly to my professional network.

I have no idea what's up with Steam in calling Date Time not visual novel enough.

Yeah, yeah that sounds right.

Going to a resume service like: "Should I use my preferred name or stay in the closet." and 30 other related questions as my brain freezes my entire everything. What's crazy is that I know I'm hot shit anyway, but I I sure don't feel like it. You think after all this time I'd be over this but nah

Cool, so I've just made my community's bot delete anything that comes through these AI apps in my community. Would've much preferred to do something else today, but here I am back in Discord's API because they couldn't give us a toggle.

Jesus fucking christ, is it too much to ask that we have control over what is allowed in our communities? I've tried to be supportive, but the NFT bullshit and now forcing AI ART on my community full of ACTUAL HUMAN ARTISTS who HATE AI. Could you even be bothered to ASK???? @discord.com

Made another update to the text shader pack. Now you can call the shaders by their own tags, and I made templates for your own tags so you can easily customize each of the shaders without bloating your scripts. makevisualnovels.itch.io/text-pack

You know what I love about zombie movies? They illustrate the power of a lot of motivated people with a singular goal. Substitute 'brains' for 'justice, equality, and fair elections', and it's a fun new twist on the genre.

Feeling a bit better these last few days. Thankfully I managed to drag myself to the finish line for my own asset jam. It wasn't what I originally had planned, but it still felt good to get back to making stuff. It's a pack to produce special effects for your text, like burning, glows and sweeps.

OH MY GOD LOOK AT HER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

:plumtired:

Just thinking back to the fact that I first learned that trans people were a thing because of a Super Bowl ad that aired when I was 10 years old

Witch Hat Atelier has good politics.
