Back to the spider, trying to improve leg strength before we put all the legs together

my son and I are thinking about building a spider, will update

the sunset from the office was a little much, a bit too showy for my tastes

A junco has taken to roosting above our front door in the evenings. At first he would fly away, but he’s been there for a week or so now and he’s gotten used to us coming and going. His name is Pecan Strongfeather.

I’m a big fan of the stutterstep penalty kick. does it look good? no. is it in the spirit of the game? no. but is it effective? also no

my primary criticism of this world cup is that there are not enough commercials with david beckham in them. sometimes there are several minutes with no sign of him and I get worried that he might be lost or scared somewhere, or that he is running out of money

Massive news on the marmot front- someone on Reddit has glassed the exact same individual!!

i have been taking my common, game-agnostic monogame code and putting it into its own library. here is a sample using this code: the high level or realism on display here makes this unbelievable, but this is not real-world video- it is 100% computer rendered

for my bear game i am planning on using web stuff for the ui so i can build it out using css and html rather than learning some ui library or writing my own. i have integrated a chromium offscreen renderer (CefSharp) and loaded the fat bear week website to prove that it works

i am working on building out a high-ish resolution surface map for my bear game. the idea is to use this for things like object placement and navigation, stuff that needs to be higher precision than the tiles themselves

I disabled this a while back because I guess I miscalculated the api usage and it was too expensive, maybe I will fix it soon

hello! I have made a bot that posts an image from a random google streetview location once every few hours. It is here: @randomstreetview.bsky.social i have a version of this on the old social network (@random_places) that has been running for a decade now, but maybe i will kill it soon :(

I am working from home today and decided to take some time to make myself a delicious lunch because i work hard and I deserve it
