AI pisses me off so damn much, a thing that exists exclusively to let mediocre or lazy people roleplay putting in effort into a craft.

It's awesome that we got a sequel to this scene in chapter 5, and also a newsletter where Toby implied that fan expectations are massively off-mark in some way (context: the related theory is the only one so entrenched that it has no opposition whatsoever), but nobody's caught on yet.

Will I be able to lock back in on working on my game... I thought I'd be able to finish the creature designs this week, but then I, y'know, didn't.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Approaching a year since I came out IRL and started seeking medical help, yet I'm still at zero progress towards actual medication whatsoever. At this rate I'm gonna have to give up on the incompetent morons in charge of this and start paying more and more Transgender Tax, fml.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

So today I realized I actually really badly needed to change the name of one of the creatures in my game for the sake of my mental health. ...It sounds funny when I put it that way without context, ahahahaha.

I'm finding out that Plants vs. Zombies 2 is apparently still getting updates like 12 years later. I still remember when I lost all interest in it back when they inexplicably remade the entire game from scratch a couple months after release lmao.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Today I bet five bucks on my Deltarune theory... I'm basically a gambling addict now... It's joever for me...

this week's rpg sketch "rock of contrition" - features everyone's favorite rpg trope "recovery spring" - you can play it in your browser (even on your phone) - windows download also available - made in 10-12 hours - it is possible to beat tunditur-unda.itch.io/rpg30

Well, today I finished Requiem of Reuinis. Good game, but I ran out of steam towards the end since it's so long. I tried to go for a "high score" and reached ending B in 44 in-game days. I did have to abuse the free revives in the final level to push through the last bit of the final boss though.

It's so hard to muster the will to do anything when I know I'll be looking at the same ugly freak in the mirror every day.

One of the funniest online phenomena is that if you say that Luxray looks like it was intended to be a dark type (it perfectly follows the design cues of every dark type from the previous two gens), you will instantly summon the Army of Mono-Electric Fans to insult your mental faculties.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Today I did possibly my last round of balance tweaks... As part of this I added a new feature: certain abilities which significantly change the characters' combat strategy can now be toggled on/off in the menu. This should make picking them up more worth considering.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

So I'm watching a Deltarune theorist's second playthrough stream of chapter 5 and, after reaching the shop at the halfway point... I guess not everyone has a high enough woke level to understand this subplot lol.

000

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

That was incredible. Time to listen to the secret boss track on loop for several days heeheeheehee.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Toby Fox continues to be a 1000x better writer than any Youtube theorist lmao.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

My favourite part of the Deltarune thankyou arg thing is how the character running it gives derisive answers to any responses that get too lore-brained lmao.

000

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

I have added the fast forward button.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

So currently my game takes 9-10 hours for a full playthrough, which is a bit longer than I was aiming for... I should probably add a fast forward button in battle to cut that down lol.

000

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Ok now that I've completed my replay, here's my one Deltarune opinion I feel strongly enough about that I want a record of it: imo the way the collective fandom thinks they have a better idea of what happened to Dess than a character scarred by its extended aftermath is sheer hubris.

A screenshot of Deltarune where Tenna talks about Dess, saying:
"HECK! Maybe you could get her to come back and watch again sometime!?"

(Implying that this would be a feasible thing to attempt.)

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

So how come Deltarune's CPU usage goes from ~20% to ~70% for the rest of the session after entering the Mike room..?

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

What the actual hell does Photoshop do that other image editing software can't such that everyone who uses it and works at a company would be willing to jump in front of a bullet shot at Adobe to defend its honour???

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

I love how the Deltarune fandom keeps misinterpreting things from Gerson's speech to Susie, it's stupidly funny.

000

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Ok I completed my Mina veteran mode run... as additional challenges picked up every item (except for some purchaseables in the city), didn't use trinkets, and didn't use sidearms to skip level segments. Finished with 418 deaths lol.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Do post-launch updates kill anyone else's desire to replay games or is that just me? Every once in a while I'll be tempted to replay a game I loved from my Steam library, but then I'll find out that they grafted on some unnecessary bonus content three years after the fact and just give up...

010

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

So I'm playing Mina the Hollower on the "hard mode" cheat preset, and what I was not expecting is that "less checkpoints" actually means "exactly one checkpoint in the entire game" lmfao

Good game. Wasn't expecting the writing to be so... nihilistic?

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

It's awesome how Mina the Hollower has an evil clown who creepypasta jumpscares you once per area, before also telling you a really stupid pun.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Just caught a longstanding bug that was making the game 4x more intensive to run that it needs to be, whoops. No more passive melting of my GPU when testing ahahaha.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Alright today I drafted the last three floors I hadn't made yet, which means the game should be playable from start to finish for the first time!

010

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

It's taken way too long (two months since my last progress update...), but I'm nearly done with level design, yay.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

I love how right wing grifters are trying to raise a controversy about Anita Sarkeesian being involved with the development of Slay the Spire 2 but ONLY two months after release because that's how long it took for one of them to actually look at the credits.

the rumors are true. the inimitable june flower and i have made a turtle game. it's about the perils of walking. watch your step tunditur-unda.itch.io/decantedsea

game screenshot. a tiny turtle walks the bed of a dried up sea. the hud shows several survival meters like FEET, HEAT, MEAT, and FEAR.

game screenshot. the tiny turtle stands amid a vein of molten slag glowing hot salmon in the night. his FEET meter is running low. the terrain description indicator reads "don't walk there! moron!!"

Today I found out that the author of The Wandering Inn, a long-running free webnovel for 10 years, who afaik makes 100k+ yearly on patreon, has now removed the first two books of their series from their own website in preparation for a physical published release.

The longer I stay on Bluesky the more radicalized I get against Sensible Adults.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 23/04/2026

Today I stumbled upon a Deltarune discussion where someone suggested that Rouxls Kaard is the Knight's charicature of W.D. Gaster, and you know what? They're cooking, they're cooking.

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

I did it! Nice game. (Derelict Star)

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

Today I have sinned. (The game has a fast travel system now)

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

I found another undo/redo related glitch... hopefully that's all of them, I was pretty happy with my streak of not finding any bugs until now ahaha.

000

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

Phew, just caught a nasty bug with the undo/redo system. When you press redo there's a flag that disables the action tracker temporarily so that redone item pickups don't get re-logged. The bug was that this flag wouldn't get cleared when redoing into a menu state until you closed the menu...

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

Ok so, why is it that so many people regularly talk about roguelike deckbuilders like they're some kind of addictive substance?

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

For years I was told by people who only play games that sell 1 jorbillion copies on consoles and steam that the RPG Maker community was full of slop and not worth checking out. What they don't want you to know is that the RPG Maker devs are actually the brightest minds on the planet.

Screenshot from Sgt M's RPG Maker game on itch io "Hot Sauce Run: Maximum Zest", shortly after the main character Saucy Steve finds out about a local Hot Sauce Contest.

The text below says "Instilled with a sense of rememberance, Saucy Steve sped from his overpriced gaming setup as quickly as it had become obsolete."

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

Ok so something was bothering me about the Undertale translation controversy that's going around, and I think I've figured out what it is...

100

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

The mind of the consumer is a truly fascinating thing. 500 dollars is a worthwhile price to avoid the dreadful inconvenience of installing Steam, but 1000 dollars? Simply too much.

100

LOLIPOP1136 @lolipop1136.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Yeah, this game rules. Maybe I'll write a guide when I'm done so people who don't know Japanese can play it without setting up this stupid Google Translate pipeline lol... I did find that someone on here had a proper WIP translation though so maybe I should consult them first.
