Ok, I may or may not have shoveled snow for an hour to an hour long cut of "We All Lift Together" by Keith Power (yes, the song from Warframe).

It's such a bop.

...It's also because I chose the wrong video, and was too layered up to change it on my phone lmao.

Gotta do some yard work for the ducks.

Hopefully it won't take too long, depending if things go correctly! (Do they ever)?

Once that it is done, back to pixelart.

"Valor lies in bed listening to the rain.
Even Death has nothing to do but mend his cloak and hood,
and all their props are locked away in a warehouse,
hourglasses, globes, blindfolds and shackles."

Billy Collins, "The Death of Allegory".

Living in New England has provided me insight.

and that is that video games have got cold damage all wrong.

It's not strictly a DOT/speed debuff. At low enough temperatures, it converts into pure slash damage. Your skin can split in mere minutes if exposed. Jot that down fellow gamedevs.

Discover feed has been increasingly more and more disturbing as of late.

On one hand, I love chaos, but it would appear that the feed is calling my bluff, and decided to ascend past even the confines of what "I" find amusingly comfortable.

Gonna stay in game dev/following feeds for a while lol!

Any ice nine kills fans in here?

Cause let me tell you, this interpretation of Joker being an amalgamation of all the Jokers is damn stellar and more people need to see it.

I am confused. Timeline:

-Bought new laptop off Lenovo's website, on Dec 3.

-Projected delivery date is Dec 8.

-Receive an e-mail today stating it will be delayed, doesn't update the date.

-Get a knock on my door, sign off on my laptop, Dec 5.

...I mean, I am not complaining, but WTF?! HOW?

I keep seeing stuff pop up about this...crocotile 3d thing.

First off, strong name. S tier. Peak. No notes.

Secondly, gamedevs, solo, indie team or otherwise, anyone mess around with this?

What is it actually? Cause it LOOKS like witchcraft. It's a really cool aesthetic.

I'm intrigued.

On nights like these, where it's -6 wind chill, it makes me feel grateful I don't live in a house without insulation anymore.

Those days are long gone. Never again.

Winter has arrived.

Laptop search done. Thank god. What a massive pain in the ass that was.

Back to pixelart now.

Narrowed the gamedev laptop (aka the mobile workstation) down to four potential ones.

I am leaning pretty heavily towards a Lenovo...which is surprising to me. a LOQ I think? I was certain I was going to go HP again but idk...not seeing a good option.

Hoping by tonight to be done with the search

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.

So rad, wanted to share one of Minty's pieces!
December 1, 2025 at 6:28 PM
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.

"Oh Lucha, you have ducks? I like ducks"!

No one:

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.
