Hello humans and other creatures of bsky. I created a game with my friends this spring. If you're a fan of anomaly games or lynchian vibes, you'll love this one.

We poured lots of love on this one. I hope it brings joy to someone. #gamedev #indiedev

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

"Oh I kinda have this weird blood pressure thing or something. I straight up need to eat salt, like a lot, or I get really dizzy, out of breath and weak when I'm up"

So uh....
I may have POTS?
This is not just a lil random quirk I have?

My school has given me a permission for 10 hours of remedial teaching per YEAR. That I'm already scared of asking because of my past.

But it also makes me hate my brain even more because why can't I learn like a normal person. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing a cog everyone else has.
And I know ai is so fucking bad for the environment and people. Boy am I aware of it. I hate this. so. much.

It's the only thing that doesn't sigh passively aggressively or straight up give up, after a long explanation, when I go "I still don't get why X works like this". It doesn't make me cry because I feel too stupid.

I'm just trying to survive, to be able to learn. To be able to get a job someday. I never use it to do any work for me. Just to explain why something works like it does, like I use it to dissect the thing till the ground until i finally get it.
mimirthful.bsky.social
I admit. I use AI a lot. To explain concepts to me, that I just. Don't. Get. Maybe someday I can ask actual humans, but in the past I have been yelled at when I have been too stupid and gotten stuck while learning and somebody has tried to teach me. Don't worry, I already feel bad about this.

i really like my profile picture, but i also like this, the picture i drew for the Slack of a course I'm attending soon. It's pure art.
bad paint painting of myself

I'm so tired of the "hyper realistic unreal engine" graphics style on the big name games. They all look the same and soulless.
mimirthful.bsky.social
But yeah, idk of anyone cares or if posting this looks bad. I just needed to get this out of my chest. (among with lot of other things lol)

To find anything good out of my time on game studies: I understand OOP and UX heuristics pretty well now. I'm sure i picked up some info that will help me with full stack stuff. I appreciate games differently nowadays and maybe want to create some as a hobby in the future.

I was also supposed to create a game studio with my friend, but they were diagnosed a serious illness that will worsen with time, so we had to scrap that. I was enduring a lot for that dream, but sometimes life just happens.

I've not been well. I quit my game dev studies, and switched into fullstack studies beginning this autumn. I just couldn't continue with games. Only thing I got was a burnout and depression because nothing was enough. I also need to get a job and pay my living asap.
mimirthful.bsky.social
also my dysphoria has been of the charts for a while now. Still not enough money to get a top surgery. I can't keep suffocating myself with the fucking binders for a long anymore.

after a week of a hard thonk and rubbing my braincells together it finally clicked somehow lmao. :D But slow and steady is better than nothing!

I'm starting to get a grasp of the commander pattern. I have already learned limited state machines, observer pattern, pooling and so much more this year. The problem arising seems to be, how to connect all of these patterns together. 😅 I plan to learn that this summer!! #gamedev #indiedev

Happy pride! I love #mansepride march day, one of my favorite days of the year.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the command pattern, and my brain hurts. 😭 I feel like it'll take a sec before it clicks, and I understand what is going on. #gamedev #student

Every solodev or microdev I know would love to hire and pay their dev friends, actually.

28 days later, and I'm still so excited, and learning new! The game I'm creating is going well, I'm actually enjoying myself, and I hope I never have to go back to Unity T-T

I decided to start learning Godot as a summer project, after using Unity for years and... I'm speechless, Godot docs are so great! I always felt like I was too dumb to understand wtf was going on Unity's docs, and now I just feel like Unity has gaslighted me all of these years. 😭 #gamedev
