Back from a break and Wispbound (my Game Boy roguelike/metroidvania) is moving fast: six bosses with final art, plus Morvane, the ice temple and the tomb isle in the overworld. Trailer recorded straight from the ROM 🎮🐢 #gamedev #gameboy #retrogamedev

Had another #AGI moment. Using only my phone and #Claude I could create this tiny globe app to track every country I've lived in, visited, or transited through. Just while waiting for someone... Nailed the #retro aesthetic as well. sebastian.proost.science/travel-log/

Lately I've been building historic board games for the original Game Boy, as an exercise in agentic coding: me directing, Claude Code doing a lot of the GBDK legwork. Two are now out, free / pay-what-you-want on @itch.io. A quick thread: #gamedev #indiedev #gameboy #agenticcoding

Bonus update! Choropleths are still visually distorted and overrepresent land, so we can instead use points that are sized by population. I added an example at the end to show one way to do this with {sf}'s magical st_centroid() #rstats www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

Web design isn't my forte, but after a few hours spread over last week, I'm pretty happy with how my personal webpage update turned out! 🎉 Check it out: sebastian.proost.science With some additional technical updates in place, I think it's good to go for a while again! 😅 What do you think?

If you missed my talk but still want to learn how to make your R code more reproducible, my slides are here 🙂: daxkellie.quarto.pub/will-your-co... All the links to packages and resources I mentioned are there, so hopefully this can be a nice reference, too! #ESAus2024 #rstats #quartopub 🧪🌏

An 1440p ultrawide + a macropad to switch between virtual desktops has been a major productivity booster for my workflow! It is redonkulous this isn't far more common :-D
