Final update for now, barring any extra bugs I missed! - Added a yellow line on the floor to indicate when exiting the safety zone and into the render camera's view - Simplified and fixed all toggles - Isometric camera pickup is now global - Iso camera render texture now higher resolution!

As good a time as any to post the greatest intro to any JRPG ever. The scene work in the limited top-down perspective, the timing of the music, the dialogue... And the worst part of it is that hardly anyone's seen it. It plays when idling at the title screen. Wild Arms deserves to be studied!

I attended Berea College, and my labor position throughout my time there was in the labor office, where I eventually served as a training manager. So I know enough about the program to have been radicalized by the learning model early on. I’ll give a high level summary of how Berea College works.

Berea College sign on the campus.

“Abolitionist Rev John Gregg Fee founded Berea College in 1855 as a school dedicated to the equal education of blacks, whites, men, and women. Pro-slavery forces closed the school during the Civil War. It reopened after the conflict and remained coeducational and integrated. In 1904, the Kentucky legislature enacted the Day Law, which segregated the school.”

Real quick, because times are what they are and pathways to education are more prohibitive than they’ve ever been, I want to talk to you about a model for secondary education which is tragically unknown in the US: work colleges. 🧵

I think the performance I'll remember the most from Tim Curry is his part playing Dr. Mystico from Freakazoid. When I was a kid, I might have died laughing watching this. You could tell he had a lot of fun doing what he loved. And he did it well.

I think that Alundra 2 has a more unique feeling than the first game, as well as good puzzles, cutscenes, and voice acting... plus I really like the creepy yet whimsical vibe! This guy was so cool to me! One of my favorite RPG villains! He TFs people into clockwork demons! waow!

Reading the manga about working as Yoshihiro Togashi's assistant (Sensei Hakusho)

A Panel:
Assistant: "Um, how old are you sensei?" (thinking: I think maybe around 30? Maybe..."

B Panel:
Togashi, looking weathered: "I'm 24."

I also found my old Resident Evil 2 comic book. I got in trouble for bringing this into school as a kid and was written up for “pornographic material” due to a very tame depiction of Eve in the Garden of Eden on a character’s computer monitor. The blood, gore, and zombies? Nah, they didn’t care.

At save points, you can adjust Nil's Archetype as well as his equipped Souls. Archetypes drastically affect Nil's properties, where equipping one or more Souls amount to small adjustments. When combining the two, the player has great versatility in customizing their experience. #godot #gamedev

As a solo programmer, I stick to one feature at a time so that I can dive really deep into that mode of thinking and get it done more effectively, i.e. "okay, for this month I am an audio engineer", "i am a systems designer" "i am a ui programmer", etc. If I bounce around, wires get crossed :(
