Ended up cataloguing my saved streaming albums in Obsidian before the subscription expires, it's going to take some time to rebuild but does feel good that the money will (mostly) go the artists?

Found a bug that I might keep? I forgot to add chair occupancy restrictions, and penguin hips are simulated with physics, so you can get in tiny chairs with other penguins and shove them aside. 😆 #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine

After a few years of work, I can finally talk about this! I’ve been designing puzzles and levels for Uncanyon. I’m super excited to share what we’ve been working on and to be part of the team at @graceful-decay.bsky.social Wishlist it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3372610/...

Uncanyon on Steam

Uncanyon is a puzzle-first adventure that drops you into a forgotten world, tucked into the seam between unparallel realities.

Huge win today getting home assistant to suspend *and wake* my ancient laptop with the homelab stuff on it. Turns out the laptop itself is too old to do things like RTC wake alarms, but MQTT and Wake on LAN have it covered! Been chipping away at that for 3 months just to save 37kwh a year 😅.

📣Audiophile PSA📣 If you have some nice lossless audio and pair of headphones you can crank the bitrate and frequency response waaay up in windows settings. I also found I was getting weird stereo imaging when changing volume recently, and I think turning off audio enhancements in here has fixed it.

Death Stranding is real if you want it to be. For @aftermath.site, here are some of my favorite forms of modular storage: expensive wall units, knock-offs of vintage Italian furniture no longer produced, modular German tool boxes, and entirely new 3D printed systems. aftermath.site/best-modular...

Storage Is Better When It's Modular

Century-old interlocking bookshelves, modular toolboxes, fancy design stuff, network racks, and 3D printed bins. Storage is better when it’s modular.

I played #Mixtape recently and this mini-game of TP-ing the principal's house really tickled my brain in the way that I couldn't get it out of my head. So obviously, I tried to recreate in UE for myself as a fun challenge.

I've been reading through a near-complete version our next #TTRPG book, GOLD TEETH, and while I am not exactly a neutral commentator I can say that @marshdavies.bsky.social is now operating on another level. Do not miss. You can still secure a late pledge copy: www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...

A mockup of GOLD TEETH, featuring a gold crossbones in a red fabric cover, laying on a sandy beach, of course.

Part of Marsh's astounding exploded diagram of The Magdalena, our starting scenario for the adventure.

A very cursed page of text from the book.

An example of Marsh's superb illustration, writing, and layout.

#amaze2026 was a good time. Great performances, talks, atmosphere. Very affirming of games and the creative things that happen at the fringes and intersections with other fields. A wonderful mix of people in attendance too. Also Berlin has some special spots to discover. Would recommend the lot.

Yes I will open this email titled "shareholders AGM" whilst on a train rocketing through Belgian countryside, a black coffee in front of me. Am I a European liberal elite, or is it just an email about the southern coop going into administration? Until I click it anything is possible.

Has some modern metal had all the edges shaved off in the mix/mastering? Listening to mid to early Lamb of God has such bite. More recent stuff doesn't hold my attention in the same way. Could easily be a musical thing rather than sound design but I wonder..
