read this (docs.larian.game/AI_grid#AI_G...) and got inspired to use a mix of navmesh and grid to try and make my life easier when it comes to a lot of tabletop mechanics (coherency, model base touching, melee, within cover). im okay for now with a bit of inaccuracy when the model actually moves too

what ive learnt this week when making my lil game is to not try to be too clever with code and randomly generating things, just make prefabs and presets that you can easily swap out.
also that i have far less headaches with flat terrain than with slightly bumpy terrain.

the whole point of me going 3d for my little hobby project is so i can have _somewhat_ realistic vehicle movement. still heavily work in progress but feeling a little good about how its coming along.

converting all my logic from 2d to 3d in Godot wasn't too bad, and now I get the benefits of 3d without weird math or workarounds!

I feel like I haven't really spent time listening to any new bands since... 2016. Individual songs, yes, but a far shot from when I used to just devour entire discographies at a time

AVGN being furious about Dustborn (an undersold indie game) because it has queer non-white people in it is an absolute barrel-scraping low.
I guess we do know James Rolfe now. We just wish we didn't.

So weird to see AVGN and Stuttering Craig grow up to become anti-woke outrage peddlers.
You made brands for yourself making comedy about shitty games and grew into shitty people

I like Void Stranger a lot. But I'm not very good at it, and I don't vibe with the puzzles. I am pushing on with guides, though, to see as much as I can because I think the game is neat
