Spent a couple days turning this FPS into an FPS+RPG.

Items now stack up to a max count, with some items (like ammo) automatically being picked up if there is stack space available. Picking up more starts a new stack.

Getting back to writing blog posts! ✏️

It’s old content, a 4y.o twitter thread, lost when I fled the old place. I decided to bring it back to you.

Maybe you recall it? It was about stairs 🛕

Sometimes you make a post in the same way you say "cows" when you drive by cows.
