iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I don't want to admit how many times I've reread Swan Boy from the beginning in the past few months. I also refuse to admit that this week I installed a browser extension that lets you view alt text on your phone just so I could reread them all again just to see the alt text this time.

Just realized this is the second time Noel has explicitly clarified that Andor is "actually stridently anti-capitalist."

The first frame of the comic "Mandalorian." Noel is saying “Swan Boy are you going to watch the new season of the Mandalorian? I know you didn't watch Andor which is a shame because it's actually stridently anti-capital—"

THANK you! The way this mayo trend has grown into something people claim is The True Way to do a grilled cheese baffles me. America's Test Kitchen confirmed that butter and mayo both brown the same. Only difference is mayo gives mayo flavor and butter gives butter flavor. I do not want mayo flavor.

Also I forgot, I do have SOME room for this kind of shit in the game.

I need to make a game with higher resolution graphics just so I can make fake movie posters and cereal boxes and such. This game understood the assignment.

Usually a battle is between you and your opponent, but when you're up against Bacon, the viral food vlogger behind the YourNextFavoriteMeal social media empire, your battle is between you, your opponent, their recording crew, and their thousands of viewers! #screenshotSaturday #godotEngine #indieDev

A boss battle in Uprooted. The usual combat UI is framed within an online video stream. The streamer, "YourNextFavoriteMeal" is streaming "Fight Stream: Percy's Pickels and some farmer, I guess" to 2720 viewers. The regular battle UI starts the battle with the text "Bacon reminds the viewers that by subscribing to his PhilanthroFee account they can access his content a week before everyone else!" Bacon, a bearded man with sunglasses and a perpetually raised eyebrow, is standing in a giant hot tub. Behind him, an intern is taking a photo of him on her phone. Against the back wall are several awards for having lots of subscribers, an illuminated "On Air" sign, and a window. Behind the window is a control room where a man watches over the stream with a laptop. On the right side of the streaming frame is a chat, where the following messages are being sent:

v34: whos winning
v27: idk i can't see their health bars
v67: let's get a BACON train going!!!
Several users try to spell out "Bacon" one letter at a time, failing and instead spelling "Bacco7aoonn"
v34: nailed it fellas
v22: i had percys pickles a few days ago they werent even that good!!!
v67: anyone else here eating... wait for it... CAKE??
The last message ends with an emoji of an obnoxious face.

Just uploaded a video earlier today with just instrumental music in it, and the auto-captions just show a random Korean character every 20 seconds or so.

Placed a bucket of water on the top of my door and when I opened the door the bucket fell on me, splashing me with water! I didn't tell it to do that, and I did not touch the bucket! Now I need to know... was the bucket sentient or was it the water itself that wanted to hurt me? 🤔

The WAZOO needs an extra syllable (let's rename it to BAWAZOO), but otherwise how I read it in my head: func tion is ev en ba boo var mod is ba boo mod two if mod e quals ze ro then re turn a he ro else then re turn ba wa zoo

Dr. Beekeeper @hauntedbees.com · 24/09/2026

This is why you gotta write your code as limericks. function is_even(baboo) { var mod = baboo % 2; if(mod == 0) { return "a hero!"; } else { return _WAZOO; } } This assumes _WAZOO is a const for false, and a non-empty string is truthy in Javascript.

Having an actual workflow sounds like a good idea! Right now every time I have a new 3D model, I manually put it in front of a giant pink square in Godot, screenshot it and paste into krita, erase the pink, resize it, and copy it into my spritesheet. Technically a workflow, but not an efficient one!

As someone who also ported over a project to Godot, I know that feel! It's tough when you're in the "why am I making something I literally already made??" stage, but once things start falling into place and you go "with Godot I can do this much better than I could before!" it starts getting good!

Agreed. Seeing that word balloon trick just now made me shit my drawers. Scott McCloud needs to write another book about comics. The game has changed.

This actually happened to me. An ant somehow died in a power outlet and more ants went in to the outlet to collect its body, they all got shocked and died, and more and more ants kept going in there, getting shocked, and dying until the outlet stopped working entirely and had to be replaced.

I'm on two blocklists for being anti-AI, and on another list for being a "Leeds fan." I don't even know what that is. Is Leeds a soccer team??? Are they talking about the CITY of Leeds? Because I'm pretty confident I've never said anything, in my life, ever, about the city of Leeds, until now.

Excellent! I already have my own localization exports handled separately so I'll definitely be seeing if I can snip that part out and plug it into 4.4, since those other new features look great!

010

Dr. Beekeeper @hauntedbees.com · 16/08/2026

This is amazing!! How much of the new code in v4 is dependent on Godot 4.5 and 4.6 features? I've been using (and loving) Dialogue Manager for my current project, but I'm trying to stay on Godot 4.4 for now.

"I pay what I pay AI" will have a very different meaning once the AI companies stop giving away everything at massive losses. If this guy had to pay for AI at prices that would actually be profitable for these companies, he'd be broke before he could finish a single campaign.
