i just got a friend request on a large gaming platform. this supposed friend has a private profile, meaning i can't see it until i accept them as a friend. that's quite silly, no?

it is unusual for me to ask for help on the internet. but this is very important. i'm going to need you to send me videos of very cool boss explosions so i can make one.

i accidentally twelve square meters of acoustic foam for very cheap. it is now dawning on me that i will have to actually put it up too for it to do anything. damn it.

i'm doing some accounting today and it's INCREDIBLE how no one can agree on even like, five date formats. ISO 8601 is the one true and correct way and everything else can get bent. Apple: 05.07.2026 Adobe: 13-AUG-2026 1Password: July 1, 2026 Nintendo: Jun. 15, 2026 Github: 2026-07-19 (YES GOOD!)

i have just hand painted a normal texture. this is the kind of artisanal bullshit i get up to when left unchecked.

for as long as i've used a computer it's been like this. it was embarrassing in the 90's, it's triply embarrassing in 2026. somehow the google backend can handle tax stuff for the entire world and yet, a little umlaut makes it uncomfortable? boo!

Yoyo i released a huge update for drill bird yesterday but have been too tired to tweet abt it 🥳 Make a deal with the Devil in order to birth the most powerful bird your bloodline has ever seen Go be a bird mom! store.steampowered.com/app/3809940/...

i would like to apologize to everyone for the weird vibes lately. my waving cat had run out of batteries and i didn't notice. the situation has been rectified and vibes should improve shortly.

18 months ago i was being very clever and stuffed three values in one shader parameter. today i need to get one more in there and it's all falling apart.

you can tell i was cooking with this code because it requires a small novel to describe to *me* what i was up to. it's actually not too bad, it's just that i very much forget how it works and why when i don't touch it for a couple of months.

(content warning: cat kills bird) some drama on the driveway this morning. just a pigeon minding its own business, then a murder and then magpies! it brought its friends just a couple of minutes later too, video in the next post.

can't say installing updates for anything is particularly enjoyable in these times of ai-everything, but this is a new level of suckage.

i think i've posted about this before, but it gives me great pleasure to have little emojis in my log that tell me which sub-system is talking. also, pro tip: change the unity log to show just one line per entry. makes everything so nice and tidy!

i know this firmly falls under "old man yells at cloud", but man, this new generation of LLM-fueled spam is making me so sad. who exactly do you think you're fooling with this absolute garbage?!

it's a for a fujifilm finepix digital camera! i had one of those! maaaaybe it's time to throw this out then, the camera stopped working 20 years ago.

I was digging around my box of cables and stumbled upon this odd thing. What the heck kind of tiny usb connector is that?!

the biggest upside to adding controller support is you can be further away from your bugs, thus making them smaller and easier to fix

gonna be at a local market this weekend selling my wares, had some postcards printed so I can actually hand people something instead of just a boring code. plan is to do pay-what-you-want, which means you can get things dirt cheap but you'll have to look me in the eye while fleecing me.

i'm exhibiting at a local con in a couple of weeks and was looking for something to use as a tablecloth. this fake fur came up and this has to be a genius idea, no?

i'm stuck using facebook messenger because of reasons, the saving grace has been messenger.com ie just the messaging without the facebook. around february they announced they were closing that site in april. it had popups announcing this for a while. it's now nearly september and it still works?
