The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)

excerpt from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the 4th one: "They agreed that the sense of dazzle stopped immediately at the back of their eyes and didn't touch any other part of them and came away strangely unsatisfied by the spectacle."

i'm sorry but the new Zelda movie is looking terrible. the concept of bringing in modern cranes and huge trucks to a world that doesn't exactly have that kind of technology is baffling. and are those portapotties? there better be a hand in that toilet

screencap from the zelda movie, zelda is standing in front of what almost looks like some kind of set construction with modern trucks and cranes

Banjo from Banjo-Kazooie, cartoony and clueless as ever, on a concrete island with a realistic gun turret (?) sticking out a concrete pillar behind him. there are contrasts happening here

adding some colour. wonky run animation that i'll probably redo. figuring out scaling. need to clean up momentum and camera movement. sprite may be too big. only about 1000 things on my list. 😅 #gamedev #godot #godotsquared

very interesting, went down the internet rabbit hole and it looks like they redid this dialogue with more modern Mario voices as well.

had some free time and got the very very very early bones of this up and running in #godot. wasn't bad at all reusing existing tiles and sprite sheet. already thinking about best ways to organize things. probably time to make a spec document... #gamedev #godotsquared

the MEMORIES! i made this 8-9 years ago. gameboy-esque platformer demo with parallax scrolling. very simple engine built from the ground up in vanilla JS/HTML. i'm thinking about rebuilding it in #godot and turning it into something really cool. stay tuned???? #gamedev #godotsquared

"GPT-5 is the first time that it really feels like talking to an expert in any topic, like a PhD-level expert."

it's a map of canada, supposed to be each province labeled with a different colour, but like, saskatchewan and ontario and quebec are all the same green, and northwest territories is spelled "norrhwest", and british columbia is spelled "brilisni", and most of the label colours do not properly match up to the actual colour of each province. and this was after a second try as the first was even worse.

man, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is over 20 years old and it absolutely still holds up. deceptively simple controls with surprising depth/techniques for satisfying score attack platforming, ridiculous creativity, amazing interactive soundtrack. it's not afraid to just be a silly, goofy, fun video game.

donkey kong strikes a pose in DK:JB - arms crossed, teeth bared, tie flapping backwards in the wind and rain, as a spotlight illuminates his very furry body

too late to this meme but, is this anything

hey rogers/sportsnet - maybe time to rethink this ad campaign. sincerely, the sheer majority of canada.

still from the "you need to visit the usa" commercial -- featuring sportsnet personalities -- that is airing often during hockey games on rogers sportsnet in canada. still shows a link to the website, visit the usa dot ca.

drew some very early art for my hockey project in aseprite. trying to keep things simple. no idea if these will even be used or if i'll attempt to switch to 3D models. but i want something in the project that isn't a floating stick before starting to refine collision. #gototsquared #gamedev

very early sprite art of a hockey player, facing the camera. low-res like SNES sprite style. a few different colour and face combinations are shown.

this took much longer than i would like to admit. rink texture fixed, added very basic digital movement/momentum. no collision or puck control YET. hockey stick disappears if it's too far away from the camera too (??!!). but it's something. #godotsquared #gamedev

really think i'm getting the hang of 3D game development #godotsquared #blender #hockey

a 3d model of a hockey rink in godot, or at least just the rink and boards, with very warped texture, pretty much looks like garbage
