Exactly! My direct manager isn't even based in the same state as me like. Just let me gremlin at home with my cats!

I once again had to be in office and join an after work dinner for 'team building' and 'skill improvements ' On the plus side I guess I can say Ive done the lean six sigma white belt training now

(only using copilot bc work is half forcing us to do so)

Things that are so frustrating: The fact that I had copilot look at my excel tracking file at work, and it gave me metrics I've been trying to get in a nice concise format for MONTHS via pivot tables and charts *Ugh*

So she actively admitted today she has no idea how I do what I do, AND that she shouldn't have left the meeting earlier yesterday. She told me she's gonna work on this so she can actually support me or, you know, I leave the company and am no longer here to do it all myself

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Yes~ we are all okay and my living room was untouched

Rin -> Making MailHero @serpentworks-games.itch.io · 01/10/2026
Fam I have -no- idea. Maybe a gas line blew? It was so recent I doubt it's even in the news yet

Rin -> Making MailHero @serpentworks-games.itch.io · 01/10/2026
we are okay; while we saw a plume of smoke we didn't see any flying pieces of fire or a big fire ball really, but holy hell i thought my entire living room was gone for a second there... which is right under my bedroom so....

Rin -> Making MailHero @serpentworks-games.itch.io · 01/10/2026
Holy shit I think something exploded like four streets down from me bc it sounded like someone had taken out the entire floor beneath me, as in my entire living room @.@

hi, sorry if you followed me bc i don't use ai when i make video games. that part is true, the making video games happens when the moons align, the convergence is upon us and the gremlins in my brain are asleep otherwise you get my screaming into the void about the world and work, sorry 'bout that

my take on the iced coffee thing is just like. leave it in the car? or finish it before hand??? or leave it off screen??? like yeah it shouldn't stop you from being considered for the job but you gotta put forth at least SOME EFFORT when doing interviews fam you can't just get on based on vibes

More than that, though, I appreciate the people who make them and think they deserve stability and the freedom to create art

I have apparently decided to MailHero's systems in gdscript after doing a tutorial and actually using gdscript XD It's def faster and man the ability to just drag in seen references and preload assets is suuuuuper nice

so if you are reading this and think 'why has rin moved to YET ANOTHER PROJECT' just know its how it works for me. if you're reading this and going 'oh gods i should be working on my game aaahhh' don't. seriously. take a breath. and remember that rest is important & we gotta make $ to live /end

i may not work on dev work everyday; i just don't have the spoons anymore for that. but when i do, i put 110% for like three days then do something else for a while. its not great for finishing things in a timely manner but it works and i never resort to ai to do any of it 6/?

Rin -> Making MailHero @serpentworks-games.itch.io · 06/09/2026
so i've developed workarounds for pain points: i create master global variable files for string paths, i create a script literally just helps pass node references around, i abuse the group system and if something still doesn't translate? i look it up in the docs or online 5/?

Rin -> Making MailHero @serpentworks-games.itch.io · 06/09/2026
tweens can be SUPER powerful, but you do gotta be aware of the order of operations in the function resources are kinda like scriptable objects, but they nest differently and there's data types godot can't serialize by default string references oh gods the string references 4/?

Rin -> Making MailHero @serpentworks-games.itch.io · 06/09/2026
i know you can get trapped in tutorial subspace but having to figure out what the 'comparable' functions are or how best to replicate coroutines is really helpful for understanding how things work? like godot doesn't have the same coroutine implementation that unity does but it has tweens 3/?

Rin -> Making MailHero @serpentworks-games.itch.io · 06/09/2026
it helps keep me in the mindset of coding and since i use old unity tutorials, or tutorials primarily in gdscript, it gives me a mental challenge of figuring out how to translate it into c# godot. keeps me interested while helping me iterate and refactor as needed 2/?

in my slow plod along with game dev, ive been hyper focusing the last few days. have a little click to move rpg i work on when i dont wanna think to hard and follow a tutorial lol a chunk of the systems will work with mailhero too (saving, scene management, etc) 1/?

If anyone needs fluffy cat tonight, here you go~ my baby bear tavi boy (named after Gaius Octavius iykyk) who yes, is as fluffy as you can imagine #cat #ragdoll
A close up picture of a white and grey ragdoll cat. He is very fluffy, with a mostly grey head that has a triangular patch of white that starts from his forehead down to his muzzle and touches the corner of his eyes. He has a little patch of grey on this bottom jaw and a pinkish nose. He is sitting in a sphinx position with his front paws forward.

Am I right to be thinking my time at my current job is limited and should find something else before I'm forced to?
