Haven't started my art for the day and the extra backlog art of the day yet...

But I did get my pre-order in for my harlequins and am doing some D&D prep

A stinky rat (day 5) and a ratio (day 6)

How much pizza could a rat consume in one sitting?

My rattling hobbit

With a poorly scribbled ring glow around the base lol

Note this thing is the same width and height of like a quarter

Almost done with my mini of the month to take it in tomorrow. Ratlings don't have a whole lot to paint really but doing what I can to make it look nice

AI is basically piracy that is legal because rich people own it.

Old movies had FBI warnings of fines up to like 250k just for copying the movies but somehow AI is allowed to just steal billions of art, music, books, articles, etc and then profit of it

The fact someone as technical and experienced as you is struggling to find a fit makes me never want to enter the market again lol

Most hiring is done through automated systems so maybe they are tossing it for some arbitrary reason?

Curse this time of year and always getting sore throat

Tried to work on game, but sick so can't focus on learning.

Tried to watch show, kept buffering.

Guess I go to sleep

Hello, we are calling about your extended vacation warranty

Least relaxing and also least productive weekend in some time. You'd think one or the other not both.

I know enough to know I won't finish this ludum dare. Going to keep at my idea though and see if I can squeeze into the long format.

Just too busy, feeling sick, new to Godot, and also just out of practice lol

Changes to my chocobo deck were good, we had a 2 hour commander game with a lot of back and forth coming down to one last turn each with a misplay from me and a lucky top deck for the winner.

Nothing quite like seeing the monthly mini votes and seeing only five models and yours is and everyone else's is getting beat from like 2 votes to 30, like what?

Spoilers its not a masterpiece so wtf

Craftgineer @craftgineer.bsky.social · 7d

Made a spritesheet, learned about tilemap and animation bits, and got a game idea started.

Overall, not bad for a start. I got a pretty busy day tomorrow so chances are slim I get the core mechanics done which is what you usually want within 30 or so hours of starting, but we will see

Instead of working on my game jam I'm preparing a few upgrades for my chocobo deck and pulling spare goblin cards out to gift to a new player for their deck.

Life give me some karma please.

Let's go, this is a good theme. Lot of ways to take it and I already got a good idea

Ludum Dare @ludumdare.com · 8d

The Theme for Ludum Dare 58 is ...

Collector

ldjam.com #LDJam

Craftgineer @craftgineer.bsky.social · 8d

First time I think most of the themes have been interesting for a final round.

Aiming for the Jam but might be an Extra with how out of practice I am

Let's go, the swap to new graphics card worked. I had to move some cables around and slot it in a different slot because of its bulk but it worked.

I'll probably get back to working on Linux after Ludum Dare maybe, I need a break from PC woes lol.

Oh boy looks like my Xfinity data cap of 1TB is almost hit this month, sure would suck if I needed to download another game and get billed out the ass for it

Sure is fun to live in america where they will probably start charging for oxygen next year

Craftgineer @craftgineer.bsky.social · 13d

I'm so done today

Craftgineer @craftgineer.bsky.social · 13d

Brand new hundreds of dollars drive, already fucked, bout to just go buy a used hard drive from a decade ago because new shit is designed to fail
