It's a crime that No Other Choice wasn't even nominated for an #oscar, as it was my top film of 2025. It's particularly baffling that it wasn't even in the foreign film category, as it could have competed for best picture.

It's interesting to see a derivative (of the already derivative) Kampfer Amazing

Today feels like an appropriate time to post my old RG #sazabi build...

...but I did recently add a global daily leaderboard if you're into a little (healthy?) competition...

An ending screen reading "thanks for playing!" with a leaderboard on the left, and a screenshot of the end game state on the right, showing a pile of many fruit with one outlined in pink. In the leaderboard on the left, the name DOM is in first with 2,372, and the newly added score is TAK at 2,006.

Thanks to a lot of back and forth with Gemini and Claude, I was able to add a *global* leaderboard to Subak Game (subak.kempf.dev) in a single day:

Fruit images, including an orange, watermelon, and apple
Subak Game
Match fruits (lemon) to merge them into bigger fruit (orange). Try to get a (watermelon)!
A short list of top scores from the "global" list

- 2 TIM 1,400
- 3 TIM 1,354

I don't think I've ever promoted this on BlueSky, but if you ever need to upload 100 emoji to Slack at once, try out my browser extension Neutral Face Emoji Tools! chromewebstore.google.com/detail/neutr...

Slack's "Customize your workspace" page with the "emoji" tab selected. A large box at the top of the page saying "Bulk Emoji Uploader" has a drop zone labeled "drop images here or click to open a file dialog" below it.

Just posting to confirm that it now works on my configuration MacOS Tahoe 26.1, Macbook Pro M3 Firefox Developer Edition 148.0b14

The front page of shaders.com, with the "hero" shaders visible on the left and the text "shader magic for modern frontends" on the right

Timothy Kempf @kempf.dev · 10/02/2026

Are these Firefox compatible? The demos do seem to work, but the hero shaders at the top throw a multitude of errors

I don't really know what to feel when these leaps and bounds in AI dev happen. I've been spending the past week or so rennovating my old GIF generation extension, and it's admittedly in better shape than the "demo" one I just prompted with v0...

The extension in action:

Timothy Kempf @kempf.dev · 06/02/2026

Ah, the new v0.dev is really impressive. With just a vague input prompt and a couple follow ups it managed to create the landing page for a browser extension, complete with a working download link :|

Armored Core 6 It stayed surprisingly true to both sources here. I really want a Washington custom AC now. #nanobanana

Pokemon Arceus It's not usually good at "anime style" things but this just looks like a good mod to me.

Cyberpunk 2077 (Surprisingly, it replaces the text well. Unsurprisingly, there are still some weird errors therein) #nanobanana

Timothy Kempf @kempf.dev · 29/08/2025

Well, that's easy. What if I just use it to put George Washington into every video game I can think of? TEKKEN 8 #nanobanana

Well, this new Google "nano banana" image generator sure is something. It's capable of easily editing the contents of photos with remarkably accurate and stable results For instance, in the following pair of images: "Add a line of people, including a mascot" #nanobanana

@steampowered.com this is a bit odd—it looks like Cyberpunk somehow launched on macos without the files

Timothy Kempf @kempf.dev · 17/07/2025

Damn, they really optimized Cyberpunk 2077 for MacOS #cyberpunk #macos

I agree—I'm a big proponent of depth map style elevation in UIs!

I can always count on the cat to give me a good judgmental stare while I work

TIL you can make self-encapsulated animations in SVG files, and that they'll play in GitHub's repo readme view. The work out of @pmnd.rs is always inspiring, even in little details like this.

I may or may not also have a (largely) gray cat named Artemis...

These all glass icon sets are driving me insane. What... are they thinking over there

I love the look of this dashboard, and it does load, but then this appears—is there some kind of post-load browser or region check?

Director Han Ji-Won knocked it out of the park with Lost in Starlight (이별에필요한). It's a laser-focused shot at grounded space scifi nerds with a heart ❤️. This one really puts Korean animation on the map! #korea #animation #netflix

New Subak Game update! - Adds a screenshot of your last moments to the score screen - Uses a more correct aspect ratio at "low" screen aspect ratios (better on mobile!) - fixes the transparency effect behind modals #subakgame

CSS is always subtly humbling... despite writing it for over 20 years, there are still features I don't even know about. For instance, @media breakpoints based on aspect-ratio...

Drove myself crazy trying to fix this weird phantom space while testing my YouTube web extension—but it turns out it's just there normally when using YouTube while logged out -_- #youtube #webextensions

Making a lot of progress updating my old GIF making browser extension using WXT. The full UI flow is finally starting to feel polished! With any luck I can get this back up on the Chrome & Firefox extensions platform soon! #browserextensions #chrome #youtube #gif

Timothy Kempf @kempf.dev · 10/05/2025

Looks like I've got the new YouTube UI now. Looking a wee bit cursed during my extension testing with "unusually sized" YouTube videos (4:3 instead of 16:9). #youtube #webextensions

A YouTube video player showing an episode of Gundam Wing, with the player ui slightly misaligned.
