VERY IMPORTANT LIFE UPDATE. Good news I promise! I have attached the full explanation as attachments (alt text friendly). But here's the gist:

-I put in my two weeks
-I will now have more time to work on my project(s)
-I am ready for work in the industry
-If you know of any work, paid/unpaid, lmk!
Contributed to one of those "who were your fictional crushes growing up" forum game thingies, and I was told I have a type.

I am shocked at the allegations. I see no "type", you have a type. YOU ALL HAVE TYPES.

Today's agenda:

-Finish laptop research. Narrowed it down to five. Almost done.

-Afterwords, gonna chill and just watch some tutorials for a little while, not even follow along, loose watches. To clear the queue.

-Then, back to pixelart.

-If feeling good, work on GDD for the small game.

❤️, 🤼🦦

Well I managed to get through all of November not consuming any almonds, peanuts, hells, ANY legumes really! It was pretty tough, but I am proud of myself. It's a tricky challenge, because almonds are god tier.

Another internet challenge, done and dusted!

I hate looking at laptop specs.

Hell, just computer specs.

I seriously hate it like ya'll wouldn't believe. I probably hate it on par with how much I hate website design.

Like I want very specific things, and I am too stubborn to believe at least ONE laptop don't have it all.

Haaaate. Hate it.

Not a soul:

Wait, maybe that was a soul? Nope, still no soul:

Getting complimented on my "skull shape" in public, just shortly after revisiting Disco Elysium, and now I am thinking I am living in a Measurehead is everywhere system.

I get that it's people trying to be nice, but like, they aren't saying "head shape", they are saying "skull shape"...

So...

Plan for the day. Now that we are on the down swing of some much needed tidying up of the house, I will be resuming where I left off with my pixelart stuff. Probably more cookies for my solodev project, probably something else, but laying down pixels all the same.

Sidequest: settle on new laptop.

Another day, another list of jobs available. If you live out in the Santa Monica or San Rafael area, please consider throwing you hat in the ring. I can't apply for any of these, but I know many, many of you who follow, can!

Behold, my #gamedev reading resource tree!

Well, sort of, couple of them aren't dev related. I had a lean-to sort of book shelf for a while but it's retired, due to bending the shit out of them. Not shown (but peeking out from the shelf below) are the massive C++ tomes.

Gotta find a shelf now...

Something I have learned while doing pixelart, is that I finally understand WHY CRT makes pixel art look really good. I always knew it looked better on my CRTs, but never "why". If you were ever a doubter, stare at pixels for hours on end daily, and then it becomes very apparent. Literally magic.

I need everyone to look at this cat model they got for these cat nip treats I saw. Others need to experience this:

1992, btw: pixelart may have came a long way, but a reminder how gorgeous it was back then.

Some people would see something like the medieval rack, and think to themselves, "you know what, I wouldn't like that, that seems hella painful"...

But as you grow older, and your joints are being little shits, and your back is blown out? I could go for the stretch!

Made a little more pixelart progress towards my gamedev side quest. three more cookies added to the fray. Isolated them on the left so you can see them, and the second picture is all of the ones I created so far. A cookie a day keeps the dread away!

We are far more than the boundaries of our mortality, our physical manifestations. Everyone you speak with, either in passing, or in depth, has their own trials/tribulations. It is far more important, now more than ever, that we see each other for the people that we are, and not the meat we inhabit.

Good morning everybody.

Here's the agenda for the day. More pixelart stuff. Gonna work through my tutorials, some videos I got backlogged. Ultimately the goal is to practice more at making characters, maybe make a few more cookies from the side quest I mentioned. But key takeaway: Pixelart day!
November 24, 2025 at 4:21 PM
No dev related updates from me tonight folks. Having a bit of a down day. I will be back to form by tomorrow.

We getting nostalgic over here for dinner tonight. Chicken and rice casserole. Added a few broccoli florets to it, as well as the staple mirepoix blend of veggies.

Despite going into game dev, Ya'll might be surprised that I wasn't always going towards gamedev. In fact, it was a pathway towards bio-engineer with a focus on smart medical devices. It's a much longer post, perhaps I will share the details one day. But yeah, no, one thing lead to another, lol.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

*Lazily checks the news*

*Double takes*

Zohran Mamdani did the equivalent of the 100 speech check in Fallout NV to beat the final boss.

PROVING ONCE AGAIN, CHARISMA IS BEST STAT.

While I am learning #pixelart, I did want to share some assets I am making for one of my smaller #gamedev projects. Can't really get into it atm since I am trying to decide what the game "is", but spoiler alert, it involves cookies. Here's 6 I made. The goal is to get into triple digits if possible.
