But I'm feeling a lot better now. I love my family, love my wee adopted dog, and hopefully now I'll have time and energy to devote to my friends and my hobbies. And on that note, for the sake of something new and low-stakes to do, I finally started learning godot this weekend and made a cute thing:

I'm glad I've been able to help out my family, but it's definitely been exhausting, time consuming, and expensive. Things have mostly settled down in the last few weeks, but I've been feeling very ill and burnt out until just about last weekend.

It's been an almost cartoonishly awful few months. My partner and I have been dealing with some scary health stuff with multiple family members. On top of that, we've had to deal with biohazard cleaning, pest control, rehoming lovebirds, adopting a dog, and probably a few other crises I've forgotten

kier starmer's wife looks way younger than him i don't think it's necessarily innately wrong to marry someone 10 years younger than you, but i do feel like it should legally preclude you from becoming a politician i refuse to explain my reasoning, but this my seriously held political opinion

Bikeshed request: What do you call "a thing that gets rendered"? So if you have some properties for rendering a thing (color, position, etc.) & those properties vary per-thing. Those are per-<what> properties? I want to say "instance" but instance has a more precise definition in rendering lingo.

If you're using AI to optimize your hobbies and to decide what to eat, you are genuinely spiritually bankrupt and I'm not sure what the point in you is.

It definitely does accomplish that! And if anything, me being pedantic about it just shows that the game got me in the right state of mind ^^

Why does Japanese fashion skew so hot. Like physically warm. Like I have clothes from Japan that I can't wear in Scotland, in WINTER, because I get too hot...

the only thing that makes you more insane than game dev is engine dev

Four rainbow orbs surround three floating 3D cows against a white, red, green, and blue colour test background. There is a smiling happy face on the left. Stacks of red, green, blue tiles on the right. Bright green text at the top says "Layout space!" while at the bottom, there is some janky text that says "space ! World"

I'm guessing it's maybe a retro-esque set of categories? Best I can come up with is: details(?), tangents/diversions, direction/goals, problems/risks Vague as that is

I think semantically this is an atomic phrase. I feel like in my experience when people say this they really just mean "I'm playfully acting indulgent to see if that's okay - if it is, I'll say thanks, and if it's not, I was just joking around so there won't be actual confrontation"

what I learned at Move art-chicken goes further with art-spices; 2D animation looks cool at weird angles; animals are more realistic with puppy eyes; jokes are funnier if they bypass your prefrontal cortex; lookdev is easier if you can see it on time; the best way to learn color is to stop using it

And it worked. So I guess why try to do anything different. So funny as well, given yooka laylee's original anti-corporate-slop aesthetic.

000

Mist ❤️🖤 @mistodon.com · 15/10/2025

I guess I shouldn't pick on yooka laylee - you can still play the original so it's whatever. The thing that depresses me is that they tried to fix every complaint they ever received about the game. They improved controls (good, valid) and also switched genre entirely to be mario odyssey (bad, dull)

100

Mist ❤️🖤 @mistodon.com · 15/10/2025

i really shouldn't care what other people think, but the ubiquitous "they fixed yooka laylee!" angle is so depressing. they "fixed" it by cutting the soul out of it and filling the empty space with mario odyssey flavoured slurry. Like it's _fine_ - but it's also kind of just nothing.

I just cleaned up all my old youtube subscriptions and... a shocking number of people I was subscribed to stopped uploading more or less exactly 1 year ago. Did something specific like... happen? To youtubers over the past year?

I really dislike the all-or-nothing way that media criticism works at the moment. I saw Weapons and thought it was a little disappointing and flawed - but it's really hard to find any take on it that isn't to one extreme or the other.

Mist ❤️🖤 @mistodon.com · 28/08/2025

lmaooo my old Go code comments are very funny to me. I stand by them all, it is a bad language.

I have to _cast_ my integers to have them inferred as the correct bitwidth?? This is especially egregious when very common functions like strconv.ParseInt return non-generic non-default int types. So `i := 0; i += ParseInt(s)` won't compile! Batshit! Oh wait haha - it won't work anyway, because ParseInt returns an error that needs handled first~

Update: - `invalid operation: x += y (mismatched types int and int64)`.
I don't want to hear another fucking word about Rust string types.

Why is there no shorthand for handling errors? Why do I need an if block _after_ the call? These should be one operation - otherwise that error checking can get moved around anywhere! And don't give me control-flow bullshit, I _know_ this language has `defer`.

Is every import an implicit '*' ??????????? So I have no idea where anything comes from??

Okay, I'm seeing a function being called here. Where is it defined? Is there actually any way to know??

Mist ❤️🖤 @mistodon.com · 27/08/2025

It's absolutely baffling to me that "download a big file without having to start over even if there are network problems" is not a universally solved problem, even though files are getting exponentially bigger.

you can also use the helipack long jump in midair - which is considered a glitch, even though it makes a lot more sense than a helicopter that only goes up if you're on the ground. game's all over the place!

I'm sure they must be statistically right if they've run the numbers and I haven't? But just... practically speaking, the advice seems wrong ime.

Mist ❤️🖤 @mistodon.com · 06/08/2025

Oh you're absolutely right about that. I still prefer *not* playing flushes late game if I can help it - but they are very easy to boostrap. What I'm disputing though is the "always play flushes in round 1" argument - as per the recent Balatro U video, and Autumn Li's.

110

Mist ❤️🖤 @mistodon.com · 06/08/2025

(Also I realised just too late - when I said "Round 1" and "Round 2" that's a bit misleading. This does not mean Balatro rounds - they were always Balatro round 1. I just mean a round of me trying things.)

000

Mist ❤️🖤 @mistodon.com · 06/08/2025

When I'm done with my current project, I might write a simulator just to try to prove or disprove my point here, because I'm so convinced. Flushes are bad. Stop playing flushes.
