The nested and interconnected nature of Wikipedia would feel so cool with these transitions!
View transitions are pretty neat, and I was fortunate enough to write a piece for @piccalil.li about putting them to work.
They're such an exciting new part of the web platform, and I'm elated to see new and boundary-pushing effects making their way into production.

I don't think I ever explained why I picked JCLaHoot as an internet name.
Basically, it's my name, and my favourite round Pokemon. 🦉
(Also here's a CSS version of HootHoot that I made)

It's not perfect at all yet but I can now generate a path between two waypoints with different environments! I'm almost done with technical prototypes, time to implement the gameplay! 🏞️🚲🐄

One problem with making a giant cat-shaped 3D mountain is that you need vantage points from which it can be admired.
This is also true of interior design. You want your rooms to be cute, but the view from other rooms should be cute as well! 💖

The falling bug came back, final boss second phase style! 🥲
I guess I'll "do the wrong thing" and set up a falling timer 🙈 (until I get enough dev XP points to level up and beat this final boss of a bug 🐉💥🗡)
In the interim, I've started modelling the cat mountain! 🏔️

PET DRAMA: I'm watching my sister's cat, Millie, and my cat, Capitaine, has taken it upon himself to protect her from "danger". This has manifested as chasing the neighbour's cat and swatting their 15 year old tiny dog for barking.
Now the neighbour's cat is mad at ME and hisses when I get close.😩

'Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium' - another recent embroidery commission that now has its new home... doing the buildings was a challenge for me, I'm not so experienced on those. I think I got good detail in without it getting overcrowded :) overall, this aerial landscape was a good challenge!

Why does slow movement speed feel so much faster if you're short? What is the science?
I accidentally made my website into a toddler sim and now I have questions.

Not once have I actually agreed with the terms of service. I do not agree. Let's be for real here: No one actually "agrees".
Gimme something I can negotiate with that isn't packed with an encyclopedia worth of legalese and then, perhaps, I might truly "agree".
