These are my favorite photos from last year's trip to Japan. Near Uji, Kyoto.

Some time ago Discord introduced this stupid notification right above the text field. I have dismissed it so many times now. I purposefully disabled notifications years ago and am always on Do Not Disturb. Stop bothering me every few days! What even is the point?

A box above Discord's text field saying "Your push notifications are off. Turn on notifications."

I can't believe it's been only a month since my trip to Japan. It was wonderful and I can't wait to to again in the future. Here's a familiar sight for those who play a certain game.

I'm genuinely confused by this. Is this a thing for a decent percentage of people?

Game suggestion by anonymous Umamusume player: "Please give us the option for 60 FPS in the game. Myself, and I assume plenty of other people, suffer from nausea when playing the games at 30 FPS for more than 10 minutes.

I've sank hundreds of hours and dollars into the game, but at this point I struggle to be able to play on PC and I'm not much of a phone/tablet player."

My response:
"Is Gen Z cooked or what is going on?
I've never heard anyone say this before
Plenty of games in the past I've played have been 30fps
plenty of your netflix shows are 24fps
Anime is even lower generally"

Open source UI designers requiring users to have a magnifying glass. Who thought these teeny buttons are legible?

Today I adjusted the lag compensation. Blue arrow = latest position received. Red arrow = predicted compensated position. (Simulated network delay of 250ms for both clients) #GodotEngine #gamedev

It's my favorite Umamusume's birthday today. Enjoy this preview image of my game containing Nice Nature! #ナイスネイチャ生誕祭2025 #ナイスネイチャ #ナイスネイチャ誕生祭2025 #ウマ娘

Making a game also means making editor plugins to help visualize things better... There goes another several hours. It's time well spent, of course. Seeing the enemy routes directly will save a lot of headache when designing race courses. #GodotEngine #gamedev

I was surprised at the difference a simple blob shadow makes to having the vehicle feel part of the level. Makes it feel like it's actually standing on the ground.

If Nintendo can get away with this, why can I not stop being so perfectionistic about my own game 😭

I've had this persistent issue with my game where the vehicle would jitter randomly even on a flat surface. I tried all sorts of workarounds. With Godot's recent update adding native support for the Jolt physics engine, I decided to give it a try... And the issue is gone!
