Had an outage from the internet today at home, thankfully my work shift was nearly over so I didn't lose anything per se. You folks are not going to believe what fixed it after I waited a few hours... ... Yes it was "ipconfig /flushdns" 😑

A ÚLTIMA REVISTINHA DA TURMA DA MÔNICA #art #turmadamonica

It's Monday. Again. 🥱

Bluesky has been flooded with automated reply bots - they'll offer a sort of confrontational opinion as a reply. They're pretty convincing and we all need to train ourselves to not reflexively reply to all responses until we check Dead giveaway is new acct, few followers + original posts

Without downloading any new pics what's your energy going into 2025?

It's December 27 and I'm thinking whether or not I can finish something I had planned for my own game with the deadline set to... *checks notes* yep, Sep 30

I haven't been exercising ever since the end of the pandemic more or less, decided to play football (soccer) yesterday, my muscles are now screaming at me :(

Sincerely thinking about removing the skeleton of a crafting system I have in my game after this read 🤔 I already had feelings about it being a scope creep

Then there's me wanting to give continuity to my novel after a 1-week break due to my company meeting then I realized just now I have 8 days to deliver the partial conclusion of my essay in my University. Guess my creative prospects will have to wait a little longer 😔✊

Yes, I know Skyrim is NOT actually a cozy game. 🙄 For the tenth time already guys. No it’s not because I don’t know what a comfort game is. But with mods you can fight not a damned thing. And you can build houses, fish, collect, wed, and adopt. Huh, sounds like a COZY GAME to me.

Ah yes my favorite quality in a DND player Available

"So what is your new story about?" Me, trying to not give away too much information about it:

As I write for two days in a row, I noticed a massive issue with my tone: My English is *very* technical, I need to do multiple passes in order to refine my texts. The curses of being ESL and having learned the language through a technical lens many years ago.

I... I actually started working on a story, writing five pages. Not a lot but this is my first time writing a novel fully in English. I've only wrote dialogue-based pieces for my games before. #WritingCommunity

Post a picture of yourself to show the newbies what they're dealing with. (Unfortunately I may be just one of the extras whose lack of faith disturbs some )

Promise to myself: I'm not turning the dream I had yesterday night into a new story, I'm not turning the dream I had yesterday night into a new story... (repeat 100 times)

A friend of mine came to me today with the plan of making a game on an engine I haven't used before (Godot). I still have my RPG Maker game coming and guess what the idiot here did? I accepted, for now. 🤡

So folks some update on why I was willing to show off my game, buying a new Wacom tablet and then ended up not doing it: I got scammed a month ago and lost some substantial amount of money, shame on me, I know 😐 Had to do some contingency planning and things are slowly turning back to normal again

Game dev procrastination

Let's try this (I don't think I can name more than 3 hyperfixations right now but ok)

Art Nouveau is when stuff looks like it was made by Elves. Art Deco is when stuff looks like it was made by Dwarves.

Voltei de viagem dos meus avós, a minha produtividade deu uma baixa, o notebook que eu tenho lá mal consegue rodar photoshop kkkk foi um sofrimento

That moment where you have a cool idea for the story of a game but you have to finish your current project first before going serious on this new one 😔✊

🇧🇷 Pessoal, vocês assistiriam uma livestream de desenho de levels? Perguntando pra ver a viabilidade de eu fazer algo do tipo no futuro. --- 🇬🇧 Folks, would you watch a level design livestream? Asking to check the viability of me doing such thing in the future. #gamedev #indiedev #rpgmaker

Meu level design no RPG Maker não usa parallax mapping (os overlays não conversam mto bem com um plugin de smooth scrolling que uso). A maior dor atual nessa parte tá sendo a ausência de brushes pra colocar vegetação. Qualquer mapa de 40x40 q tem mato leva umas 4 hrs pra fazer 🫠 #gamedev #rpgmaker
