Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 6hFor anyone wondering where that accessible fish game I was working on went, it's taking a back seat while I figure out Godot and port my progress there. Even ignoring the superior ethical footing (including being anti-ai contributions!) -the snappy boot/compile/run times made me audibly gasp. 020
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 06/10/2026hannibal cops for sure never solve anything- But they're humanised, funny, presented as good, positively motivated and invested in goodness? And the bad guy kills them? So I guess yes? 000

Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 01/10/2026as well as a first stop for hirers, I could see this being a checklist vs applicants obtained on another platform or sort of recognised stamp. 000
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I won't be at migw! I'm not really built for conferences/pub nights/picnics- doesn't help that there's some trauma around a couple of folks there from the old days (don't worry, not you) Hit me up after for a call or a hang! (not here- bsky locked me out of DM's because I won't give it my passport) 001
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I sometimes play typeracer with my programming students when we get a moment that doesn't really fit in the lesson plan, or as an icebreaker at the start of the semester. Zoomers can't type on keyboards: 30-50 wpm is common. I used to clock 115, but in my 30s my comfortable speed is more like 95. 020
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Now you get to check out the incredibly fucked up internet community it has. 010
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Lotta 'Wacky Adjective Sport' games lately. If you're considering jumping on that bandwagon, please consider: Danger Lawnbowls Reverse Golf Athiest Football Croquet Without Remorse microgolf Safest Rugby Anti-capitalist Lacrosse Frisbee but with Spanking Shark-infested Basketball Baseball is Wrong 020
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Every spring for the last 3 years I've gotten more sensitive to melb pollen season. The first I noticed was icepick headaches through sinus down into my teeth. So I would say yes? Like the onset of sawdust allergies for carpenters. 011
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It's the 'you need more atoms than are in the universe to model a chess game' thing. Just a big problem because of the way every moving part multiplies the options. 000
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I suspect new x-com gets around it (still takes a couple seconds) by having soldiers act one at a time and totally independently. I don't think they tend to team up strategically, just as a 'best choice in MY turn' way. 100
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 17/09/2026-then running the whole thing back and trying it again multiple times when you don't like the result you got (with characters capable of multiple actions) - there's no solution that doesn't require you to sort of grind it out. Civ etc would have dozens, maybe 100's of moving parts to consider. 110
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My understanding is that pathfinding is straightforward- but pathfinding for four different motivations and attaching weights to these outcomes (cover, reward for attack etc) for multiple units that can't clash or stand on each other's toes,- 120
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I feel like Unity went hard on selling this idea as part of their cinemachine package 000
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 15/09/2026This is my first time seeing Kala paint so sorry if this is handled somewhere really obvious- how do you feel about other animation-ey features like per-layer/group batch export etc. that help game devs and people painting for animated/gamesey backgrounds? 110
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 09/09/2026To get in the door you used to have somehow to corner Harada and win a street fight with him (but for legal reasons you obviously couldn't call it a street fight)- but he's left and now I guess you fight that Michael Murray but he does muay thai 021
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Some days their fickle whimsy drives them to use their powers for evil and sear a horrid image (of jar-jar binks perhaps) on your brain forever. There's no predicting which artist will do this. Which I guess is like opening the gachapon from a cool machine but there's a live venomous spider inside. 140
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Learning godot (and quietly refreshing python I guess) and I think I'm starting to be bothered by how little I'm using upper case. I like myVariableName. Shift key instead of spacebar feels faster somehow. "_my_variable_name" makes me feel like I'm typing quietly to anxious teens on tumblr in 2010. 110
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Got an email today about how artstation is gonna turn a corner but Kitbash ceo seems pretty pro-slop. 020

Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Between this and twitch's recent shit- 'whoopsie we stole everything and told you about it afterwards because we knew you wouldn't give consent' - it feels like platforms are pretty keen to keep creative users with neutral messaging, then hit em with a kind of content rug pull. Use Cara.app instead.cara.appCara | Artist Social & Portfolio PlatformCara is a social and portfolio platform for the entertainment art industry. 020
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Oh hey artstation haven't spoken to you since we fell out over your addiction to slop. New ownership you say? Respect for artists, protections against scraping? Your new owner says "AI is the future"? Yeah that's ok mate bit busy right now let's talk again in a year or two after the bubble bursts. 150
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'm hearing good things about scrappy alternatives. But also bad things? Sounds like you have to do a little research to get around Big Little Construction Blocks. 000
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I'm not using AI. No LLM text/code, no images. If my work someday asks me to drink the slop I'll find something else to do. Why would I outsource my decisionmaking to anyone- let alone a lowest-common-denominator absolute mean average corporate answer bot that lies constantly. 040
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I still want to try it because I want to give some love to the animation. Lots of lurching/swaying out there right now. 010
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Our situations may be wildly different. I don't get to set policy at ALL :/ If I was king though, I think I'd still need to push students back to zero to start over- sometimes folks just need to hear it again and take a fresh shot. 010
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I also wish I didn't have to grade anything but in that case I would also need a justifiable way to make people re-take a unit even though they might think they deserve to pass it. 110
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 16/08/2026The whole time I was drawing the blinded guy I couldn't stop thinking about that trailer for abandoned game project hexagoons. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ9d... Most visceral sunlight I've ever seen.m.youtube.comHexagoonYouTube video by Ninoc Studio 001
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 16/08/2026wonky practise doodles. School semester is winding up so I'm trying to stretch some muscles. 180
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 15/08/2026We had a whole outreach program when I was in highschool teaching this stuff to primary schools- but once I learned how to code it really felt like designing a toy with too many loose parts inside. Like if I didn't write it custom-made the wrong bump would shake something loose and it'd break. 010
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 11/08/2026A widespread iced coffee brand has many flavours and strengths, with colour-coded bottles. Recently they added a promotional graphic to their bottles in the colour of their weakest variant. As a direct corollary, I am unexpectedly ready to challenge god himself to a footrace and/or single combat. 020
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 03/08/2026oh yeah aus got all that stuff first. It's blocked half of my feed lol. I'm this close to presenting a totally normal id for these nerds. 010

Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Oh like a dribble flush all the time that's gotten progressively worse? Yeah there's like a rubber doohicky that degrades over time. You can replace it yourself from the hardware store- if you send me a picture of the inside of your cistern I might be able to point it out? I'm not a plumber tho. 200
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Cool it's something I just don't have data for, just vibes. I had the impression that specific things-sometimes external, spurred people to write reviews . Maybe when you hit 260k everyone will mass-delete their reviews out of some sense that you've transcended their ability to recommend/disapprove. 000
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 06/07/2026is that weird? My understanding was that for indies it was a struggle to get anyone to write a review? 100
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Just an organiser willing to put the time into making a regular gathering happen is sometimes all that's needed. 000
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I tried them out very early on but they didn't have audio at that point? Might have to take another look. 010
Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Fuck he's not wrong. I took up woodcarving recently and I'm like yep I'm an old guy now this is old guy hours and I'm here with the wood and it's me I'm the old guy just chippin' away at me wood. I bought suspenders and I think it's related somehow. 010

Rex @rexhausted.bsky.social · 25/05/2026ipad is either dead (whoops lost 3-5 years of casual art) or going into retirement. And I'm gonna be out like $3k for a new one. Anyone want to commission a really nice whole minute of animation? 020
