Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Implemented the basic, crude, extremely non-optimized water simulation! It's triangular-grid-based, just like the terrain, and uses the virtual pipes method. It behaves weirdly on terrain height boundaries, investigating that rn

Screenshot of "It's Going to be OK", a singleplayer puzzle board game about coordinating mutual aid networks. A hand drawn map is populated by hand drawn meeples, almost all of whom have scary red exclamation points (indicating they have unmet needs).

So, my little ps1 game is about Minneosta, rebellion, and aliens. And all the emotions I've been feeling for the past month or so. Please support my work.

Hijacked my ocean shoreline effects to make spatialized ocean sounds. There's an ocean "speaker" that follows the camera, staying just off-shore. I tweak its panning strength so it sounds like it has a rough direction, not coming from a single point. Sound on! 🔊

Starting to form more of a game with camera work. I'm realizing how smooth floating calculations are, and that a real ps1 not having that logic makes a whole world of difference.
