i have righted a wrong for this playthrough. tetra no longer loses her melanin when dressed as zelda.

A shot of underneath Hyrule Castle. Linkle is in the background looking shocked. Tetra, in princess garb, looks unsure and concerned, looking towards King Daphnes Hyrule.

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

someone please drive this man into the middle of the woods and leave him there, away from AI tools *and* his children.

i mean, it's the keyboard's design that was the motivator in the first place, since they decided to place the caps lock indicator at the top of the keyboard, which is always hidden under my desk. so. net zero points for them, i guess

i've had my fancy RGB keyboard for like five years and only TODAY did i realize i could program it to change the caps lock key to another color when caps lock is active.

the ridiculous weather issues create ~*television drama*~, but i always feel so bad for the contestants whose cakes schlorp over because it's 32 freaking celsius in the tent. like... no baker would EVER have to deal with that in a real-life setting??

if i actually ever wanted a remake of anything, it would be Dark Cloud. it did so much that was ahead of its time and literally JUST needs some QoL tweaks to fix its most glaring issues, but was forced to ship on disc in 2001. lmao

Tessa! 🌻 @copperlightning.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

and yet, despite the very high level of polish and technical expertise, the whole game suffers from the MOST atrocious character movement/camera combo of all time. (also some really terrible spelling and grammar errors from the english translation team, but again, it was 2001)

replaying the original Dark Cloud, because i was never able to beat the final boss as a kid... and the protagonist (toan)'s character model has cloth physics? in 2001????

i posted an epiphany i had about why i hate AI so much on fedi and i wanna post it here but it won't fit and i don't wanna cut it down to size so fuckit i'm just posting a screenshot

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

some creatures you might find in the woods.

Two panels; top is of some glowing sprite type creatures huddled together in the grass and the second is a big black serpentine creature with blank yellow eyes moving slowly through the forest.

Aw you need AI to write code or fix bugs for you? You need AI to write for you? You need computer to come up with your ideas? 🥺 What a shame your skills and knowledge are so woefully lacking that the mediocre output of AI seems good to you.

Doing some work on my next game, just paused and had a moment of thinking "I love doing this." If you use generative AI, not only are you a talentless hack, you're robbing yourself from the joy of the creative process.

i guess the only thing i can do is keep working/processing the situation until i figure something out that works with my brain, instead of trying to twist myself into an impossible shape. until then, thanks for being patient with me. 🩷

to accept that i'll never be very good at interacting with people despite how hard i've tried over the years is very difficult, especially because so much of a successful career hinges on networking. i just end up feeling awkward, stressed, and VERY burnt out.

Tessa! 🌻 @copperlightning.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

been quiet over the last month or so... during which i have made the uncomfortable realization that i am on the spectrum in a big way. and i'm not sure what it means for me! it explains a lot of things, but just knowing doesn't really solve most of the issues it causes. so i'm just like... now what?

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

taking a break from dev for the first time in like eight weeks, and i gotta say, doing other stuff is pretty cool. (also giving some much-needed TLC to my plants. i am so sorry my children)
