Oh my freaking goodness these look delicious! YES! Haha thanks 🙏

Hey if you are proud and find meaning, it’s worth it. Try and make room for rest and balance ^__^ I’m rooting for you! It IS exhausting and stressful to be fair 😅

discovered a pretty critical coding error in The Human Body where sometimes the way to feel better when you feel too bad to work out is to work out. this is suboptimal for user experience of The Human Body

Excited for the launch of Puzzle Parasite made by friends at @wrenfall.bsky.social ! Got to play it earlier in development and looking forward to diving into it. The puzzles are smart and rewarding, makes you think without being too harsh. Introduces mechanics at a great pace. Give it a try ^__^

Today's snowfall reminded me of this remarkable video of the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, seen by the Rosetta spacecraft's OSIRIS camera in 2016 and processed by @landru79.bsky.social. Except the "snow" here is actually dust particles... in front of a moving ocean of stars.

Finished reading Starter Villain by @scalzi.com and what a fun read. I love how he plays with tropes. It’s silly and entertaining, I was smiling all the way through. Also, I really want an Eames chair now! Had to search what they looked like and daaamn that looks comfortable as heck.

A team can get really paralyzed waiting for things to be Decided™ One of the most valuable things a senior can do on a team during production is make quick decisions to "put stakes in the ground" even on topics that are not yet 100% confirmed or aligned, and then document/broadcast those decisions.

Gundam hobby still going strong ^__^ this was my first MG. Almost too complex with the transformation gimmicks but still lots of fun ^__^ Looking forward for the next kits to build!

I "think" it was you @unormal.bsky.social who talked about it (quite a while back), hehe, if I remembered wrong I'm sorry. Still, great read! Looking forward to reading the 2nd book soon. :D

Last night, instead of sleeping as I should, I stayed awake reading A Memory Called Empire all the way to the end. What a ride! It took me a bit to get into it at first, but once my brain got used to the names / references it uses, I really loved it! Thanks @unormal.bsky.social for recommending it!

We had to say good-bye to Rita today 😥 We are glad she got more time after her surgery in December, but her health started deteriorating rapidly again in April. We gave her the best quality of life for as long as we could. Rita is no longer in pain. Give a hug your furry friends from me today 🙏

I did a “snarky” quote post and decided to delete it. I’m proud of myself! It added zero value to the conversation, wasn’t even funny. What was I trying to accomplish? Anyway. Hope you are all having a good Friday Night!

It’s been a while since I shared a 🥞 pic with you all. These turned out great! Really really tasty. I substituted half the milk with Kefir and it’s a winner strategy! ^__^ Hope you are all having a good weekend. Been more quiet lately, life got hectic but all good. We keep on keeping on.

This is a great video! The concepts apply to any engine, not only Unity. When we do a tutorial we often just: do a tutorial. We don't learn much, and we don't know how to take whatever we learnt to our own #gamedev projects. This is why. Learn very foundational concepts and build from there :)

We finished our game last night... IT WAS A BLAST... (there were many actual in-game blasts). It was a super fun run. We met in-person every other week for a few months, and I will miss this crew. Our GM is moving to another city but we managed to tie most lose ends in a glorious last session :)

Finished one more! This is the last of the HG I got, time to do an MG now! 🔥 I’m officially into Gunpla :) I didn’t even know a word like “Gunpla” existed until recently. Hah. Love it.

game designers don't need semicolons like programmers we don't need periods like writers we don't even need exclamation points like producers we (often) need parentheses (you can ignore them, on first read) to explain non-linear connections (at least to ourselves) like everyone, we need editing most

I feel like I should be doing something fun and “seizing the day”, but also a freaking headache is not letting go and I know I should just rest. Would be nice to enjoy resting instead of feeling bad because “I’m not doing something fun”… Good times.
