I'm Harry/Truebug.

I'm also blogging a bunch at washingdish.es

playfulness over everything!

new book review up on my blog!
The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin
blog.washingdish.es/index.php?pa...
It's a Big Fantasy Trilogy, the kind of book I don't really read because I see too many YouTube thumbnails featuring men with a wall Meal Deal Fantasy Triples behind them. A thousand books called like The Wind Of Dawn and Nightbringer and Oathsteel Chronicles. Look, I'm sure all those guys are very normal but at a certain point it seems like you're just reading them because they take up a lot of space on your Kallax. Much love to youtube.com/StrawmanReads But, despite my predjudice I was dutybound to read this after my buddy Ed started yelling about it in Discord, so I did, and I devoured these 500 pages in a little under 2 weeks.

My Favourite Book, this particular copy of Pride and Prejudice - Washing Dishes
I wish every book was exactly like this one. Let me tell you why. Some time last year, I picked up a copy of Pride and Prejudice at our local charity book shop. It caught my eye

Andrew is a sort of non-prince now, a… well, I’m sure there’s some sort of portmanteau word that would describe him well.

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

failed the anti-mirror test the other day. they found someone off the street that looked a lot like me. styled their hair the same as me. put me in a room that was connected to another via a mirror-shaped window. the other was in the opposite room with a red mark on their forehead. they had been trained to mimic my movements—an incredible talent, I must admit. I stupidly took the bait. tried to rub away the mark, thinking I also had it. the other pointed and laughed. what a fool I've been made out to be! if only I had been more diligent, more meticulous... then maybe I'd still have my dignity. keen spite of reason, they got me again! the scientists offered a chance to "get one back" on my doppelganger. they put that red mark on my forehead. placed me in the opposite room this time. I spotted my other in the "mirror" the moment I came in. followed their movements quite exactly, I was very proud of myself... but the other wouldn't bite. why were they not reaching up to wipe away the mark that I could see wasn't there? we played this game for after 10 minutes when I was beguiled with the shock of my life. I had appeared behind myself. it was the doppelganger! in the room with me! turns out that the "mirror" window was no window. it was a real mirror this time! I'd been duped again! the mark they'd put on my forehead was a ruse—the scientists had just dabbed water on the spot and claimed it was ink. I was fooled again! what a detestable beast they've hollowed me into. it's all over. do me a service, kill me in the mouth clean and simple

@bradysoglin.bsky.social hey brady! i was wondering how you built the levels for Tall Trails, what tools you used for terrain gen/building in particular.
im keen to make something with similar feeling levels but on a slightly larger scale, and dont really know where to start.
any pointers?

The hype is real. This two hour long doc about extreme birdwatching is an absolute delight, and nothing less than a soothing balm in horrible times.

The makers have put the whole thing up on YouTube, for free with no ads, and all of you should watch it right now.

of course, i've been playing Silksong

Here're my earliest impressions, after just a few hours with the game

1) the game is difficult and that is a good thing
2) this is a comedy game
3) im impressed by how similar and different it is to HK
