Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Yeah regretting upgrading Pop to Cosmic 24.04. Whether this is Wayland or what I don't care, it's horse shit. I can't even drag from a godot window TO A GODOT WINDOW. Works if I force X11, which breaks other stuff -.- 210
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Love playing the "How will Pop Cosmic layout this App" roulette every time I open something -.- 111

Reposted by Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack DevDominic Tarason @dominictarason.com · 30/08/2026A game is only a failure if the developers feel it was. Although one possible metric of success could be used is 'does the developer have the resources and energy left in them to make more games afterwards?' Stop thinking like an analyst, shareholder or some other obnoxious bean counter sub-class. 524648

Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Somehow a power surge/outage manage to take out TWO drives (one in nas, one in server) THROUGH my UPS. Not buying APC AGAIN -.- Also the benefit of having proper backup infra. You'd need to take out another NAS drive to really annoy me and even then I could retrieve from backblaze, just much slower 010

Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Just watched the Odyssey in IMAX, truly excellent. I know the manusphere doesn't really live on Blue Sky but for those who do... 1. Christian Bale was Moses. Unless you have beef with that, stfu. 2. In a lottery, people will be all shapes and sizes 3. Half of the Mediterranean IS Africa That is all. 000
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 09/08/2026One of the last 'features': Unlock-able level editor components. 040
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Would you be willing to subject your gmail account(s) to me to play-test Sand Stack sometime in the next few weeks? I need 12+ play testers before they'll let me publish and she's almost cooked! Probably need to download it once at least, I honestly don't know, first time through the ringer! 100

Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 04/08/2026There was a time many moons ago where I could do this consistently as part of trying to master speed running. I didn't get much further than 1-2 mastery though and doubt I could do it anymore. 000
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 02/08/2026As debugging Sandstack is nightmarish, I avoided the problem by improving how I debug in Godot, so now I can do this.... 1141
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Seeing the heading to any news article of 'Trump says...' is like seeing any Reddit llm post starting with 'I built...' I know what follows is trash. 000
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 29/07/2026New Supergirl is great! Solid ~7 outa 10 says I; a fun and refreshing romp! Manosphere trolls need to check themselves if they think this deserves a 6.1 rating while Captain Marvel is still 6.7. Relative to that traversty this is a straight 9 😂 010

Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Project cleanup today, got export size down from ~210mb compressed to ~65mb just due to how messy it had all gotten >.< Fine for Android, reasonable for a web export....ish. 010

Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 12/07/2026I know taking breaks is good, but Jesus don't take breaks for over a year. SandStack's got some serious spaghetti hack code that I'm now spending more time trying to understand why I even did what I did than adding a feature I want :( 010
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 11/07/2026One of my smarter brainwaves that maybe everyone does. Godot Mobile performance is kinda meh (I mean it's mobile) where anything using full screen just tanks FPS. So don't use the full screen! My puzzle 3D scene only FILLS the middle, so grab the AABB, project pos's, and resize the 3D Viewport! 210
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Top or Bottom :D This Fancy Panels GodotEngine addon is ver nice :D 220
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Oh legit! I need to play with this (and probably wonder why it's not core?) 120
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Partners playing a lot of BoTW. Commandeered their little loading animation of divine beasts hopping along the bottom for SandStack to finish a night of less visual fixes. Community still placeholder, no idea how that's gonna look when finished. 000
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I play a fair amount of chess, but always considered my ~1k elo to be meh. Then I played Age of Empires 2 ranked and my god... 1k elo players are bloody epic! I guess I forgot there's a beginner and there's a Beginner! 010
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 06/07/2026It's been such a long time since I've had the drive to just sit down and nut out some annoyances in Sand-stack that have been blockers for too long. Today was that day, got anonymous Supabase login working which unlocks the door to several other things that felt jank. :) 110
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Let's say hypothetically you wanted to make a new game that had a fair amount of narrative, branching logic etc, any opensource tools about for drafting this up? Or is a crap ton of markdowns in obsidian the way :S 320
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 04/07/2026If turning off motion blur highlights how badly your game runs... Maybe don't use unreal engine? 010
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Ooo I could have some fun with this in Godot. If your wondering it's just a local host UDP server reading a constant stream from mediapipe running in python. Standard webcam, little bit of lerps for smoothing. 160

Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Just found a super jank old video i made to prove a point to someone, namely "If the Earth is curved, why don't planes need to adjust attitude to stay parallel to the ground?" Ignoring gravity/air and making the plane fly level, even ~100X faster than normal would need minor intervention at best 120

Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 09/06/2026What I don't get about people defending trad manosphere rhetoric is the idea that male behaviour isn't currently a problem. The data says otherwise, and has done for years. 120
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 08/06/2026If you go to McDonald's and tell them you want a burger, but with no seeds, swap the sauce and extra salt.... Does that make you think you're a Chef? Or just a consumer of a mildly customised burger. Consider this whenever you use a LLM/AI art. 160
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Long weekend here in Aus, do I: - make a game for my watch - work on sand stack - actually try to make a YouTube vid again - end up playing stalker 2/vampire survivors and lose track of the whole weekend without realising it 210
Beau Seymour ~ Sand Stack Dev @bimbam-tm.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Just started playing Stalker 2 and immediately turned language to Russian. Why do these guys sound English?? Not even attempting an accent. Rather play with subs thanks. 120
