Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

My 2nd and latest experiment with daily driving Linux has ended and i'm sad 😔 I edited the entire Horsey Game trailer in Kdenlive on Linux and it was...fine? They gotta fix the keyframing workflow yikes Once Win-only apps can be run as easily as games on Steam Proton, I'll be back

Any #godot folks out there ever done seamless screen wrapping? Basic screen wrap is fairly easy, just snap an object when it’s offscreen. But if a sprite is halfway off screen right, how do you get the other half to show on screen left?

Linux Update: I found a open source video editor called Kdenlive that is quite good! kdenlive.org It has a bit of that open source jank (especially with keyframing), but does a LOT of what I need and feels very Premiere-y. Even has a effects stack like After Effects

Kdenlive is the acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice: www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1... I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

The Seance of Blake Manor is a pretty solid investigation game ala Obra Dinn if u like that sorta thing. Like a murder mystery party for one Set in 1800 Ireland with lots of history, murder, snoopin’, and ooky spooky ghosts

Watched TRON: ARES as part of our NYE tradition to dress fancy and see the biggest box office flop of the past year One review on Letterboxd just said "like a pretty poop from a butt" and I couldn't agree more Fun seeing Vancouver tho! Can confirm, that is how people drive on the Port Mann bridge

Love a good fan edit! It’s like a mod for movies 🍿 Yearly reminder that the M4 Book Edit of The Hobbit trilogy is by far the best one. It combines all 3 movies into one 4-hour extended edition that fits in nicely before a holiday rewatch of LotR m4studios.github.io/hobbit-book-...

M4's The Hobbit Fan Edit – Tolkien Inspired Recut

The M4 edit recuts Peter Jackson's The Hobbit film trilogy into a single movie that follows J.R.R. Tolkien's book more closely.
