Utterly depressing, all of it. People like that, the article, if true, all of it.

Trying to make some fall themed art. They look like trash but I feel like I'm learning something. So, I guess that's a good thing.

Not gonna lie, the credits song for Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman goes so hard. I really can't get over how good this sounds. youtu.be/uKf_5uEw52Q?...

Learning how to use a DAW, and figuring out how to manage plugins, and virtual instrument programs, and soundfonts, and soundfont players, and when to use which of these things, and how to use them together, and how to compose anything even kind of good... is melting my brain. But I will press on.

Thank you! That's good to hear. Trying to not feel like I'm out of my depth. 😅

I made this little bird guy while learning to do pixel art. I feel like he needs to be used in one of my projects.

Something I noticed from trying to get acclimated to the community and watching a bunch of devlogs, I find myself getting a little overwhelmed and discouraged. What makes me think I can do what they do?

Puts it all in perspective, doesn't it. Unfortunately the ones that need to consider other perspectives loathe doing so.

I like your style! I am dipping my toe in the game making waters. One of my projects is a roguelike/roguelite idea. Would you be interested in chatting a little about all that?

Y'all have any groups or communities where indie developers yap or share stuff? It could be discord or reddit or whatever. Just trying to fit in or get involved.

Got some more in the works: 🃏 A deck builder tcg sim with creative mechanics 🏘️ My "big idea" dream game. It is a 4D puzzle adventure game. This one will be a slow burn, as I want to get my feet wet with a smaller project first, so I can do this one justice. Let me know which one interests you!

I have a few game concepts I've started building. Which do you want to see brought to life first? 🚀 A text based adventure with semi-random event progression 🪃 A resource management dungeon looting game with time based mechanics ☄️ A puzzle solving story based game with multiple paths <See next>

Voila. Here I am. Pretending I'm cocky enough that I have a place in the crowded indie dev world. But I'm going to try! And I'm going to keep myself grounded. If success arrives, I'll scream. But success is not my goal, the journey is.

It reminds me of how Russia spun the news to its people about how most of the world cut them off economically after they launched their "special military exercise" against Ukraine. I wonder what stories Fox and OAN are coming up with now.

I'm playing through 6 so that my girls can see this special game. It's the only FF I haven't introduced them to. I hope you have fun with it!

That actually makes so much sense! The castle has libraries with scholars talking about ancient magic, but Locke wouldn't know how to recognize that. I'm kind of impressed.

HelicalPants @wateresque.bsky.social · 02/02/2025
I just realized how funny it is that you can use magic near Locke and he is just completely clueless about it until you get Edgar in the party who properly freaks out about it.

Ok. I'm putting my phone down for the rest of the day. Don't let me pick it back up. I mean it, DON'T! There now I've absolved myself. If I'm on my phone again that's on y'all.

I know that being kept uneducated, impoverished, and hateful was largely out of their control. But the idea of respecting any of them right now or feeling sorry for any of them who were deceived... No. Just no. I know it's petty and not helpful. But I don't give a single shit about them right now.

I know that when all the dust settles on the national and global hellscape on the horizon, we will need to get back to trusting one another rather than the greedy monsters and tyrants that rule our little lives.

I don't want to try anymore to suggest that they consider diversifying their news sources or opening their minds to non-black/white thinking. Quite honestly, fuck that. And fuck them.

I can't anymore. I can't log in there. I don't want to pretend anymore that I'm not profoundly upset and disappointed at how people in my life have abandoned all reason and empathy.

HelicalPants @wateresque.bsky.social · 30/01/2025
And sometimes I speak to the ill-informed and narrow-minded ones on there with empathetic pleas to consider other perspectives and advice about how the rich are manipulating both the right and the left against each other, etc. with the faint hope that even one of them will give it a passing thought.

Don't tell me to have compassion for any Trump voters right now. Until a few days ago I was light handed with my posts on Facebook. I detest that platform and very rarely endure opening it, but I have a lot of distant family and friends I feel the need to remain connected to.

Reminder that this game's soundtrack had a legendary team of composers on it. The juxtaposition of Kirkhope's zaniness and Shimomua's dramatic tension makes me so happy. @grantkirkhope.bsky.social

Aside from the humiliating article, leek at this picture. He does not look well. Look at those huge bags under his eyes that he needs to touch up with bronzer.
