Awesome to see the US Men’s Hockey Team be the butt of a few jokes from the Women’s Team and laugh along. If only we hadn’t started a needless war this week or I’d be enjoying this more…

Just submitted for my first ever @momocon.bsky.social workshop, teaching people how to make chainmail! Whether I make it or not, it’s another step in growing my craft. #chainmail #workshop #momocon #atlanta

What have I been up to? Well, lots of things! But a cool moment recently was learning how to use a plasma cutter. Had to finish the piece on the band saw due to warping, but it still did the job!

Making animated water texture pixel art is tedious and mildly infuriating. Just thought I’d let everyone know. #pixelart #pixaki #gamedev #solodev

Just learned that #Godot has a native iPad version. Makes me reconsider sinking time into #Unity since I’m trying to keep my workflows as seamless as possible between iPad and PC. Anyone have experience using #Xogot to work on projects while away from your home machine? #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

That’s awesome, thanks! I think Pixaki actually exports to mp4 as well, but this could still be handy to have!

Except I guess BlueSky doesn’t support gifs? Or maybe I did something wrong. #oops

I decided I need to challenge myself to make little gifs as often as possible to work on my #pixelart. So behold, a goose. #pixaki #maker

Pixel art of a white goose standing on green grass, slowly bouncing up and down and slightly bobbing its head. The grass is also subtly waving with the wind.

Hey! So I’m still working on game stuff, but now life has launched me into an amazing relationship and I’m a member of a makerspace! So stay tuned for all sorts of art. #chainmaille #woodworking #ceramics #gamedev #lifeupdate

My rule is podcasts are for the car, music is for the house…and also sometimes the car. I’m much more productive (and generally happier) with music.

I need to finally teach myself #Davinci Fusion so I can abandon my last #Adobe product, After Effects. Then I’ll just need to kick MS Office to the curb, including finding a free replacement for OneDrive. I hear #LibreOffice is the favorite. #opensource

Jk, everyone. I just learned that the term “Roman salute” was first used in 1920, but by Italians, not Nazis. But the Nazis did adopt the gesture shortly after. And all of that was based on a salute that was created and used…in America. But we banned it in 1942. Still, fuck fascists.

Josh - Maker of Things @crosspadcreative.com · 21/01/2025

Here’s the thing about the “Roman salute.” In 1920, it was co-opted by this rising political party in Germany and its use and definition changed forever. The masks are off. Fascism isn’t knocking on our door, it’s standing in our living room, holding our keys.

The fact that I had to read this twice to realize you weren’t being sarcastic says a lot more about me than it does you. 😅

It’s almost like they should instead be advocating for better pay in retail and across the board so less people feel the need to steal. But what do I know, I’m just a former Walmart manager. 🙄

This quote truly disgusts me. Society values art because it’s hard. Because it takes dedication and discipline. Because it shows empathy to the human condition. AI does none of those things. It’s a tool we can use, but it isn’t an artist, and never will be.

Why choose when you can have your automation randomly pick one of the four each time! Embrace the chaos.

I firmly believe that the save function is the most important feature ever created in gaming. It pulled us into an era of long-form gaming, opening it up to deeper narratives and immersion.

I’m struggling with the same issues. Also, not enough of my friend groups have migrated to Bluesky, so I’d be giving up frequent interactions that I enjoy. But I’m reaching my limit with supporting the platforms that I despise on a moral level.
