just a few short days after i hatched from my wizard egg, my mom made a homunculus of wet clay. funny little guy. she named it “better kid” —we called him BK for short. now he’s the urn i keep her ashes in. happy mother’s day!

next aquarium update is shaping up to be the biggest one yet! 5 new fish! for context there are only 14 in the game at the moment, so this is a fairly big chunk!

playing aquarium where i only keep 4 copies of a fish and dont flood the tank with fish has really shown me how frequently fish clip out of the tank. expect a fix next patch, didnt realize it was this bad because i didnt really notice some fish disappearing because i normally have a packed tank lol.

flash drives are so big for so cheap nowadays that it actually fucks me up. i don't want to put a single text file on a 128gb stick. it's too big. the file is going to get all rattled around and dinged up if i leave it in there by itself

Bloodybelly comb jellies don’t glow—they put on a shifting rainbow light show with reflective glass plates as they drift through the abyss. But that deep red color? It’s the ultimate invisibility cloak, making sure nothing sees what they’ve had for lunch. 🌊🪼 #DeepSea #Marinelife

alright, with aquarium in a nice spot for now (emphasis on for now, i intend to circle back) im probably gonna shift gears to another project. i have a fun tower defense concept rolling around in my head rn so probably gonna kick that around to see what fruits it can summon.

we wouldn't need "fast travel" if our game studios invested in accessible and affordable public transport infrastructure. skyrim should have a tram network. assassin's creed should have several regular bus routes. give ghost of tsushima a metro

It's Bivalve Day. And what's better than a bivalve? One that hosts a worm too! Meet Bathymodiolus platifrons (the mussel), and it's very close friend, Branchipolynoe pettiboneae, a scale worm. #BivalveDay #WormWednesday

im eternally tilted that people saw that emails sucked and used ai to replace writing and reading them, and then everyone started doing it, so now we have bots talking to bots wasting energy instead of just. maybe changing the ways we communicate professionally because it sucks.

ahhh yes. the new aquarium update. finally arrived. i didnt mention it in the patchnotes, but i did a LOT of work behind the scenes and save files are now much smaller. Each fish retains the same level of important data while being roughly a third the size.

since most of you weren't on tumblr, i should probably talk about what aquarium even is. Basically, you purchase fish, and then feed them to increase their value, and then sell them.

The first step of being an artist is consuming art. If you want to design games, you have to play games. You have to read games. You even have to, heaven's forefend, talk about games.

while i tended to be a lot more casual on tumblr, i intend to be a lot more professional here. on bluesky ill probably post like 98% my art and games and maybe 2% of the other stuff. or maybe ill get really passionate about something and throw that ratio out the window. we shall see.
