UGHHHHH some tools just seem nondeterministic.

The level of "random tiny things you can overlook" in game dev is shockingly high.

Obviously you can smeep the mlurp once, but if you try to do it TWICE, the grimble stack overwrites the timyum and it silently fails.

A little overview of how Aqua Mundo looks at the moment 🌊
(it's a waterpark tycoon game inspired by classics such as Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2!)

Some days I think about why LoL remains even vaguely alive: Fortiche. What a fucking lucky break to find an animation studio at their peak that was still willing to work with a company as awful as Riot.

TWO smash hits.

It's pretty rare that a corporation spending money actually results in anything worth seeing, but Fortiche was on fire.

... Wonder what they're up to these days. The only thing on their page besides Riot gigs are some old music videos.

Got the voice recognition system up and running controlling the crawling mechanics. #wip #robot #maker

Crawling, voice control test

There's been a bunch of polls running around about Star Trek and Star Wars recently. The answer should always be "it's complicated".

I don't begrudge the story diversity in both Star Wars and Star Trek. But obviously a lot of the stories are not to my taste. Probably the stories you like.

But when something spans decades and has hundreds of hours of content, there's a lot of good too.

Whenever I see a game where a character is jammed airtightly into a specific audience range, I can't help but imagine them in other stories, at other times in their life.

Like imagine an adventure game featuring a tween Putt Putt that's obsessed with Hot Topic and trying to start a YouTube channel.

Or you can go the other way. Imagine Kratos Teaches Typing.

we've gone full circle and Discord is adding "Guilds" again

Ohhhh. I just understood a paticularly incoherent song lyric. I thought I'd never understand the lyrics!

Now to do it ten million more times.

What keyword do we use to search for ACTUAL photos of wallpaper, rather than desktop backgrounds?

I was confused about all the construction equipment pulling in and out of my next door neighbor's place. They block my window completely most days, but I never hear them, you know, USING the stuff.

There's no signs they ever tore anything up with the 90 backhoes, for example.

Today I finally tracked down what's going on: the local street construction crews are using it for staging.

I dunno if they have a deal with the owners or what, but this is where they put shit so they don't block traffic

I figured out how to fix one of the two Unreal-Blender plugins. For reasons unknown to me, it now defaults its export directories to C:\ExportedFbx instead of (file location)\ExportedFbx.

It does this because, for some reason, there's an extra "" in the default target directories.

How did that... get introduced? Like... how do you create that bug?

Maybe a change on the Blender backend now interprets that extra slash less forgivingly or something?

I guess it's officially too late in the morning to get back to sleep.

We'll just pretend that's all the sleep I needed, I guess.

To celebrate mother's day, I'm watching what is probably my mother's favorite comedian.

There is something a bit special about a comedian with real skill - something besides a skill at standup, that is. Obviously it's quite a lightweight comedy show by today's standards.

We could completely fund public transit in Massachusetts by fining cars that stop in crosswalks. Like, a buck each offense. More than enough money to fund all the trains and buses.

@glassbottommeg Hey, is Patreon still stable? Or is another service recommended for new teams.

I remember hearing a lot about VC poisoning.

OK, I figured out why Powerwash Sim now has in-app adds for Blood Deathwar Grimdark Death Doom War Kill 9000.

Their ad is repulsive, of course, and you have to click on a tiny X to close it, at which point there's another nearly identical ad permanently displayed on the main screen.

Why?

Turns out, they're trying to sell their DLC.

See, you can POWERWASH the Death War Doom Grimdark Death 9000 soldiers.

... Interesting choice. I'm sure there's a huge overlap in playerbase. Sigh.

Decided to modify my existing USS Yeager corridor set (first image) to create a corridor for the USS Cerberus.

Still in progress, of course, but you can compare the first two images and see the different style I'm going for with this one. Besides adding more details, I've still got to replace the lift with a different style.

USS Cerberus corridor. The floors are carpeted grey and blue, while the walls are mostly different shades of grey. There are blue lights near the bottom of the wall segments.
