At the beginning of 2025, I made the decision to move from 3D projects in UE5 to 2D in Godot. I'd never used Godot. I'd never worked on 2D projects. And I also decided to learn pixel art for this. I've never been good at art... This is some screenshots of my new project. Its been very rewarding!

I was worried that support for Palestine might wane a bit with the "ceasefire" announcement... but my wife just sent me these from the March for Gaza in Adelaide (where we live)... And other pics from at least the other AU cities are similarly large crowds... which is wonderful... Keep it up all!

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

I know I should probably just get off the platform, and I expect that before long I might end up doing so if not banned. But I've managed to have some meaningful discussions and, I think, open some peoples' eyes about the gaza genocide so its been worth it. Still fucking frustrating /rant

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 2d

And yet, her post is removed for "bullying and harassment"... Literally nothing like that is going on, but its removed. And the nazi rally is left up lol. Finally, on a post about a March for Gaza today... multiple people say keep politics off the platform. God I hate boomers -.-

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 2d

Meanwhile, my wife posts a Caltex boycott protest. Caltex is owned by chevron and profit from trade with israel and so on. But Chevron are also truly evil and that SHOULD be enough reason anyway. Someone asks why we are boycotting them... I explain. There's no pushback to my explanation...

My report is denied and the post stays up. All the comments on the post are saying its a racist anti-Australian march, so that's good, but the moderation team decides to leave it up, despite the fact that its a literal nazi rally and no one on the platform seems interested.... I appeal, no change.

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 2d

Sigh... another dumb story about NextDoor boomers...

Some boomer posted an image to promote the upcoming "March for Australia". This rally is a racist white supremacist event organized by a guy who literally proudly proclaims he is a neo nazi, not even joking... So of course I report this...

God I'm so scared for them... I hope this holds but I do not trust Netanyahu or Trump at all... 🤞

Al Jazeera English @aljazeera.com · 3d

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are walking back to Gaza City as the Israeli military begins its withdrawal from the area following the ceasefire agreement.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum is there, watching what he described as ‘an endless tide of humans’.

Enjoy a beautiful pic of one of my kitties in the sun outside (he's an indoor cat - we take him out with us sometimes under strict supervision)

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 5d

I don't want anyone to be in a war or conflict at all. That's the whole fucking point you idiots.

Sorry... I'll get back to sharing fun game things soon but jesus...

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 5d

Today I had some boomer in an online thread about Palestine say "BUT DONT YOU THINK HAMAS SHOULD LET THE HOSTAGES GO FREE? WHERE IS YOUR MORAL COMPASS IF NOT?!"

These fucks are so dumb. YES. I want all hostages, the 48 that Hamas have, and the 9000+ that Israel have, to be free... LISTEN TO US -.-

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 6d

Another flotilla, the Freedom Flotilla + Thousand Madleens, was just intercepted. 93 people on board, but this one doesn't have the high profile people like Greta, which makes me way more concerned for the safety of those who have just been kidnapped illegally by Israel...

Oh... okay that's all super helpful. I found a few random things when searching but nothing about that stuff. That's fucked :( Thank you for taking the time to respond... I really appreciate it. Why does every platform have to turn into this shit -.-

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 7d

Yeah I've seen a bunch of them trying to claim that people are breaking in or something just for knocking on their door... And others where they have private conversations in the replies to public posts lol... So I guess its not all bad lol, but still disheartening

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 7d

IMO the only way to use YouTube is to subscribe to specific creators and then use your subscription feed exclusively. I find it a great platform but that's the way in which I use it. The popular/trending/etc. stuff is, yeah, very different. But that goes for basically all platforms in my experience

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 7d

Whats going on with bluesky? Sorry I only recently joined the site and have seen a bunch of people expressing similar posts to yours... but I have no idea whats going on and my google-fu is failing me I guess

Michael Hutchesson @dapperraptor.bsky.social · 7d

Ugh... Been using an app called NextDoor that helps connect people in local communities - things like sharing plants, trading resources, etc. But there's so many pro-Israel boomers on there and its so disheartening :(

Yo, you know how you are all angry and cancelling your game pass subscriptions? You know you can do that to windows too... Linux is super user friendly nowadays (with a little research to pick a good starter distro). No more money to MS, no more putting up with their shitty choices/AI... just sayin

Like look at this shit... this boat had a handful of UNARMED civilians who had made it clear from the beginning that no resistance would be put up in the case of an interception. Israel still sent an entire fucking platoon of toy soldiers to capture it... Tell me again how this is fighting terrorism

Harlow Lombard @harlowlombard.bsky.social · 12d

Israeli pirates 🏴‍☠️ war criming it up by abducting civilians attempting to deliver aid to the people of Gaza, starved (once again) by Israel

…all while state governments sit on their hands, like puppets of the U.S.
