I played alto sax in high school, but not well. Have thought about picking it up again as part of a cost-constrained mid-life crisis! The term 'working towards amazing' would be doing some heavy lifting in my case!

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

It's weird to live in a time where the Pope keeps making better statements on current affairs than any secular world leader seems able or willing to.

Not even attempting humility with this one 😆 Made a delicious breakfast this morning. Poached eggs were perfect, homemade hollandaise was thick and velvety, roasted cherry tomatoes were sharp and fresh. Made the family happy. Great start to the weekend!

I often see people say things like "you just like x game because you were a kid and want to feel like that again", but imo some games should make you feel like a kid again. At least, I hope mine does to some degree.

I've seen this observation a few times now, but they didn't have social media in 1972. If they had, people would have been arguing the fuck out of iced coffee then too. It's not really about the Washington Post. We've just become a civilisation that talks nonsense 24/7 because we can.

I'm constantly baffled by this one. Like, I struggle to believe that people who claim to understand capitalism actually believe this, but they seem to. It absolutely might work if we had the sort of 'mom and pop' small business capitalism people imagine in a non-specific way...

Good day fellow #unity #gamedev folk. Should we be using addressables? We are making a 3D point and click game, with a scope around the size of maybe Mythwrecked / The Drifter / Foolish Mortals. We are using low-poly modelling, but its got full VO and lots of scenes. Any opinions on the internet?

I've said versions of this before but social media is meant to be fun, WAS fun for some years, and we hit problems when people started to believe it was a viable way of conducting debate.

In more electoral news, Hamilton City Council voted yesterday to change from STV to FPP. No consultation, some councillors kept in the dark until the motion was put up. Only 6 years since a public consultation when 78% supported STV. Outrageous move by the 9 councillors who voted this through #nzpol

Game development is sometimes spending far too long trying to decide 'should the item image show for 0.8 seconds, or 1.2 seconds? Should it fade in? Slowly disappear into the corner? #indiedev #gamedev

Can’t decide if my favourite thing today is the TPU deleting this post and the results because they lost their own poll or seeing the right wing councillors around the country bitching about amalgamation plans that no one wants to play with them over from the government THEY told people to vote for.

Our local Mitre 10 closed the community garden a couple of years ago because people were stealing pots of dirt for their own secret gardens. Thankfully the council stepped in. They threatened rates increases, but also provided permanent Community garden wardens. Now the Seed Squad can plant again!

Who knew a simple book could offer so many challenges! Now you can examine the book, open the book and close the book but, if you return the book to the shelf without closing it, the game closes it for you! Made this into a reusable system now that I can apply to other objects #indiedev #gamedev

A book on a shelf? can I look at it? Of course! Can I open it and does it have a useful code inside? Double of course! Having fun playing around some options for various potential mechanics in the game #indiedev #gamedev

Still trying to use up some lemons from our tree, so I made a lemon meringue pie this time. Filling was delicious, the meringue was average. Used 5 lemons...approx 100 more to use 😆
