I’ve been working on this side project for several months now. It’s a hand-made ceramic video game? It’s still a WIP, but I got everything wired up for the first time last night so I could test controlling all the lights individually. Exciting step! Now I “just” have to make it interactive. 😅

An E-bike battery burned my house down on the first day of GDC. Seeking mutual aid from financially stable colleagues. gofund.me/47306b15
A column of fire envelops an RV in a pine forest late at night. My bedroom and office reduced to ashes. The metal walls and roof are largely destroyed, revealing the forest beyond. A class C RV gutted by fire. The heat of the fire has killed most of the plant life in a nearby garden. A segment of an RV's exterior wall. The heat of the fire has melted through the aluminum panels.
