Doc prototype

Prototyping in Godot, going good! Myst-like coming along. Very placeholder-y for now but working well.

Started working on my Myst-like yesterday. Doing it oldschool with all prerendered graphics, touch areas for interactibles. Godot making it very smooth to prototype. Can’t wait to have some more polished assets to show it off

My fortress had 200 dwarves and counting. Probably the biggest fort I’ve had in a while. And I haven’t even dug into the caves yet! (Stupid aquifers)

How does one handle grieving the end of a 10+ year relationship in a healthy way. I’ve been stuck in kind of ruminating on my part in it. Like I rationally know it’s not healthy but my brain keeps going there, again and again. I want to still have a friendship with my ex but not an unhealthy one

I want everyone to just take FIVE MINUTES, and take a look at this extremely well put together project 2025 tracker. www.project2025.observer We're less than a month in.

Trying to design things to 3d print with no supports is tough but so worth it. I’ll probably modify the alphabet rails to allow them to print upright instead of facing down, to maximize the surface sticking to the bed.

I really wanted to make one with knobs that move the slides but there was just gonna be too many dang parts. Theres already a lot of parts.

Holy shit, this is fucking tragic.

Very satisfying to see my cipher wheel on thingiverse get so much attention. Hope to see some "Makes" posted soon 🤞

shook off the rust and put together a fun lil game for the latest #bitsyjam! it's about getting a new pet snake -- they like kisses! playable in-browser and (kinda) playable on mobile #gamedev #binksi #bitsy fivedollardare.itch.io/lil-buddy

In my element y’all

Instead of the Turing Test for AI, maybe we should start with the Strawberry Test.

It’s wild to me how impossible it is to find entry level roles in gamedev. I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve seen a role open that doesn’t require a minimum of 3 years experience. We have basically gatekept anyone who didn’t get an internship or didn’t go to college.

Feeling grateful 😊

It is complete !!

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

It is complete

Cutting $200 million from education and then spending $13 million for foreign corporations to deploy mandatory racism, spying, and lies (viz. AI) against children, great job no notes. therover.ca/quebec-schoo...

You know what’s unbelievably easy to do and works? Just telling people to follow accounts you like and vouch for and is crazy powerful to help others grow and everyone can do it at any moment in time by saying “this person is cool go check them out” also it’s super rare to see on the timeline.

(1/6) A while back a friend of mine whose kids are grown was in a bad place mentally and said he worried he hadn't been a good dad. I reminded him of a wild event in the kid's life. When his daughter had been in third grade, their school started weekly page goals. His daughter, more of a gamer than

Autodesk's pricing for hobbyists is so stupid, I'll be paying for Dassault Systems' Solidworks personal license instead which IMO is an inferior product only because it's literally 7% of the cost of an annual personal Fusion360 license. LESS THAN 1/10th THE PRICE! WHAT THE HELL GUYS

Pretty gosh darn happy with this design honestly. The idea is based on a tradition decoder ring, with the added feature of being able to have a custom key by rearranging which symbol is associated with each letter.
