I think I've finally figured out the story I want to work on for #writingmonth.

Life was. . .hectic last year, and hasn't gotten any better, but we'll see how much I end up actually doing.

I've got a setting I've been piecing together for about a decade now in notes and short stories. I think […]

Got a new work laptop.

Got it set up.

Now I'm going to put it in a soundproof box, since it's running windows and I. . .literally do not need it to do my job.

So my son, 4, likes video games. He likes them a lot. And also he doesn't read so well just yet.

The funy thing about this is that sometimes, I'll walk into the room and he'll be playing, like, Super Mario Odyssey. . .And it's just in French. Why is it in French? I mean, to him it's no […]

Turns out, you can indeed download more RAM. This macbook only has 8GB of RAM on it. My only explanation is the downloading RAM meme.

We have 15x15 boards. Time for polish and "game over" triggers.

#ldjam I needed a start button and couldn't wait for wifey to get to that, so I made my own. Probably a placeholder, doesn't fit with the rest of the game, but I like it! Made with Aseprite.

You know how you make a production ready game system for a game jam?

State machines. State machines are love, state machines are life.

If you're already tired of this, make sure you mute #ldjam and/or #ludumdare for the next couple days. ;)

But, we have basic board manipulation done!

And yeah, it's in the browser. It's #phasergameengine.

A screenshot of a Phaser 3 project showing the state of our game jam game's board and game represented in text. The board is all `e`s. A screenshot of the same game, but there's a board now with arrows around it.

Me, an idiot: oh boy #ludumdare is here and I have a neat idea for a game

Child, punishing my idiocy: dad imma go ahead and not sleep anymore. Ever. Also I’m mad at you that you won’t let me touch the thing I’m not allowed to touch.

Wrote a thing that outperforms off-the-shelf libraries for this specific thing by a factor of three.

It's simple text processing. The tools often used for this are just so poorly written (You can probably guess the space based on my opinions) that it takes an afternoon of my time to write […]

And here’s today’s #inktober.
A hand-drawn illustration on a piece of paper depicting a box-like object with a grid pattern on its side and a strange capsule with markings on it leaning up against it. The drawing has a date of "OCT2" in the upper left corner.

Oh, did I mention I’m trying to do #inktober this year.

Nothing crazy, I only picked up ink drawing, I mean, earlier this year. And I’m not exactly a high artist to begin with. 😅

Drawing some characters from my #Starforged play through first, then I’ll find […]

The sad part is, the em dash is great and flexible and useful, and _that's why LLMs use it_. Because it's so common. Still, even when I read things that _I_ write that use em dashes. . .makes me see LLM output.

I will not let LLMs destroy the em dash.

I love the virgin days of the months following the release of a massive new game or expansion in the #ttrpg space.

Particularly proud of the giants! https://timescape.wiki/view/Giant
