So, I’ve only been taking half of my dose of meds for months… (I know, I know) due to other medical issues I was dealing with.

Sooooooooooooo… I took my proper dose again today and …

Brain so calm.
Brain so quiet.
Tasks are fun.

How is this possible?! lol

@britt it might be “bad” of me to say this, but I feel like with ADHD meds being so fast-acting and not "building up" like SSRIs etc., it should be more acceptable for us to experiment with our dosages (within reason of course). The consequences of taking a half dose for a while, or a double dose occasionally, are pretty minimal imo.

Bar for time travelers. A programmer from the 21st century is complaining about bugs caused by time zones. A programmer from the 31st century scoffs and starts talking about bugs caused by relativistic time dilation. Next to them, the guy who writes the firmware for the time machines is grinding his teeth

@mcc considering some of the thousand yard stares veteran programmers can get these days, I can only imagine how hollowed out the firmware guy’s eyes are

I thought I could handle every pronunciation of “Godot”, but I just heard someone in a YT video pronounce it “GOO-doh” and I’m struggling here y’all

Okay nvm this person is trolling lol. They’ve pronounced it differently every time they’ve said it lmao

Decided to start drawing famous people because my portrait skills are seriously lacking and I'd like to change that. Can you tell who this is? #MastoArt #Portrait #Drawing

I overlaid the ref and hammered out where I went wrong with the original. Loads of issues everywhere, but the biggest problems were:

  1. head shape, esp. cranium
  2. most features too low, esp. nose
  3. eye shape
  4. values too light across the board

Overpainted in PS w lots of ref layer toggling.

Prompted by someone else’s opinion of “RPG of the Year” (which I strongly disagreed with, but that’s not the point), I started to think of what my “ideal RPG” is like and… It’s basically Bethesda games lol. If the quest design and writing are compelling so much the better, but those gameplay systems are basically what I want hehe. Maybe slightly more survival-ish, but that’s easily accomplished with a few mods.

I used Unite to make an “app wrapper” for Bandcamp on my work machine, and this is actually pretty dope. Since it’s basically a mini browser I can have my whole collection open in one tab and “now playing” album in another tab.

I wanna play cheap-ass Mass Effect. Just the parts where you explore, hang out with friends, and sometimes shoot someone.

Is that Starfield? I haven't played it, it's Bethesda, I figure I'll wait a few years for the patches and mods to make it playable.

paintedsky,
@paintedsky@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@Craigp Starfield is Skyrim in space, pretty much to a T. So it does basically nothing new or exciting, but if you want Skyrim in Space it’s got you covered.

I personally really like it, but it’s easy to see why reception has been mixed. And yes there are definitely bugs currently

i should make one of those YT videos where you make minecraft (a voxel block rendering engine)

paintedsky,

@eniko make one where each voxel is a small but recognizable 3D model of a dog

Got my Covid and flu shots yesterday and I am feeling it. I feel like I’m 200 years old and if I move my limbs too fast I might crumble into dust

@johnhattan Yeah, my last one wasn’t great either but went away after a day, like you said. This one is worse but I’ll survive 😆

Ok the good news is the 400mg of ibuprofen I took when I got up has kicked in, still sore but I think it’s survivable now lmao 😜
