After two months' work, the rewrite of asukawang.com is over. There's corners cut and known issues to be fixed, but anyway, good enough. Now that it's done I'm going to play games or make games.

Pele is a fast, beautiful, open source renderer for Mermaid diagrams we created for the next version of Obsidian. You can already try it in the Pele playground and integrate it into your own apps! 🌋 pele.run

I have scope creep in my writing projects too

Beautiful idea! I've been thinking about adding a photography page and the tech side of it (namely how to manage the photos both in local and cloud). Very looking forward to join this project.

I've been suddenly craving football games recently so I tried the only free option: Konami eFootball (on PS5). Ball game was okay but the mobile gacha model made me puke I deleted it after one match.

Tried Onimusha demo, god I'm tired with the single-lane cutscene-heavy stage with kindergarten-level puzzles while having the player's character murmuring about the answer. Combat was pretty cool though.

Sekiro review asukawang.com/blog/hesitat... Added footnote support to my parser for this one

I read The WoW Diary: A Journal of Computer Game Development to find an anecdote I once heard (it wasn't in there) and now I want to play vanilla again. Book was good, almost sad to read in 2026 as the Blizzard recorded in the book is no more

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

I've been making a very small scoped game in Godot as a learning project and the time I spent on the gameplay (the fun part) and on making it a proper game such as main menu, score scene, transition, etc. (the boring part) is like 2:8

I replayed Return of the Obra Dinn for research purposes and decided I own it a review because it’s so good asukawang.com/blog/captain...

Replayed Return of the Obra-Dinn three and half years after last playthrough and found myself forgetting most part of the game. Praise loss of memory. This game is so good

asukawang.com/blog/somethi... bubbles.town is great. I saw people talking about NBA so I wrote one too

Storied Colors is a catalogue of 250 named colors, from pigments, chemical formulas and dyes to a few digital hues, each tied to documented evidence for its name and history. You can browse all the colors, or simply check the color of the day. storiedcolors.com/

LOL Steam Deck OLED 1TB now cost a PS5 + Switch 2 in Japan. That's a kthxbye if I have ever seen one

Of course it’s sold out everywhere. Back to camping Steamdeck restock notification?

Ah maybe it's finally time to buy a Switch 2

Tried Zed editor for a couple of days. Native vim binding feels great. Getting rid of copilot is amazing also. But then again, it's another VC backed product and probably another enshittified future awaiting. I really hope it won't though 😔

Might still do it in the end because it's on github pages now

F2P game engine, mod editor and match making platform i.e. WarCraftIII custom map + battle net as a service

New blog post: Leap of Faith My major reflection on parenthood. Spent months on this one. I can keep editing but it's time to move on asukawang.com/blog/leap-of...

Been playing Ball x pit when my 5 months old is napping. Great brain relaxer. Want a steam deck now pretty bad.

Have a Fucking Website www.otherstrangeness.com/2026/03/14/h...

New blog post: The first hundred days (of parenthood) asukawang.com/blog/the-fir...

I made Claude Code write a little program that runs on an old mbp 24/7 which detects an 11-years-old bluetooth speaker, and auto plays baby sleep music on connection. Before the workflow would be wake iPad > open youtube app > play. Now it's one button. Best application I've ever created from AI.

Swaddling is so op I don’t know why it hasn’t been nerfed

Only took five minutes to put my three months-old to sleep, three times in a row. Feels like superpower.

Rewriting in Rust because it seems fun. And adding Rust to portfolio wouldn’t hurt

I added a new section to my personal site: List, a personal records on many things. In this site patch notes I wrote about the addition. asukawang.com/blog/site-pa...

Devlog #2 for my #indiegamedev project. Talked about combat state machine refactoring. asukawang.com/blog/project...

Suddenly couldn't stop thinking about a self-host epub reader with a rust backend

New blog post: Books Read in 2025 asukawang.com/blog/books-r...

Claude code with Opus 4.5 and agents feels pretty magical. Tokens burn like brrr though

My one-month-old's wah wah has a better 0-60 than a McLaren

bun.com/blog/bun-joi... Whoa. Been a happy user of both, surely hope things work out

Decided to write my nvim config from scratch because why not

I once considered host my personal site on cloudflare. Now I know one reason not to.

Just released amp@0.3.1, now supports extending custom blocks, and you can extract the extended block type alongside built-in block types! www.npmjs.com/package/@asu...

you gotta build you own calendar / todo app someday, why don't start today

My love for (as well as career of) software engineering started from a Warcraft III custom map. My firstborn. I made a memorial for it. asukawang.com/blog/memoria...

Ohh Expedition 33 with the spicy plot twist

I’d very like to listen Expedition 33 soundtrack but the fear of stepping on spoiler landmines prevail

Expedition 33 prologue hits HARD
