Intellisense is wild today
An intellisense suggestion saying that I should replace a boolean variable with a ternary operator that returns true if the boolean is true and false if the boolean is false.

Redesigned one of the oldest characters in my game this week! What do you think? Old Redeye gives you the tools to survive… but he’s also a bit of a heckler. (Hopefully it’s obvious which one is the new one 👀)

Sometimes I wish github had a comment section so when a repo saves me hours and hours I could just comment “I love you”

Sometimes I’m writing a melody and it flows a little too well and I go “wait … …am I stealing this?” And there’s no search engine for that, folks

I’ve had an unfinished draft of this song for 5 whole years, and now it’s out!! If you like noir-y stuff, Bond themes, or lofi, I think you’ll be into it youtu.be/DzuJjrEkvrE?...

BlackthornProd invited me back to be first on a Pass The Game Challenge, with the irresistible prompt that I could make whatever music I wanted. Noir ensued! youtu.be/t9yWV1-6FEE?...

I actually removed Twitter from my phone and deleted my account. It felt really nice. All I was getting from it were notifications that tended to harm my mood… so there was really no loss 😅

btw these large scary math symbols are just for-loops
a color coded image by Freya, comparing the summation and capital pi notation in math, to their equivalent in code using for-loops. The summation notation sums a set of elements, while the product notation multiplies a set of elements. 

Note that Freya is keenly aware that neither the math notation nor for-loops are fully explained by this image, and that this is only a subset of the use cases, so luckily you don't have to explain that to her, in case you were considering doing that!

Just started Death’s Door and it seems I’ve found the perfect game for October
