Happy New Year friends!
I spent this NYE adding a local GPT server to my homelab in this sweet retro-inspired case with pc parts I had after an upgrade. Galactus is pleased I have no reason to use OpenAI at all now.

Okay, I just played a bunch of Time Pilot and Time Pilot ‘84! Both are awesome and I love the sci-fi of ‘84! I think that one is a little harder but way more fun than the couple levels of the first one I played. Definitely stoked on this recommendation, even if it wasn’t intentional 😂

A lil #screenshotsaturday for #ParsecExpress:
Needed more weapons in the game. Here're a few of the new ones. Added radius exploding weapons, along with burst functionality, array missiles, and guidance missiles! The player can now choose from 20 weapons! #indiegames #devlog #unity #scifi #spacesim

Last minute #screenshotsaturday for #ParsecExpress: Survival mode is now done and playable! Cleaning up the UIs a bit (still not happy with it) and finally switching over to the new input system in #unity. After that’s all done I’ll finally be able to upload a demo of the game! #indiegames

I've been working on a wave survival mode for a demo and it's honestly so much fun! It gets chaotic after you survive a few waves and the bigger ships come after you! I can't wait for people to check out!

My highlights from Rose City Comic Con today:
The @wilwheaton.net and @felicia.day panel was awesome! I was a Wheaton fan before, even more so now 🖖
My buddy found me this Wesley Crusher card 😂
I got a variant of the new Batman #1 with our historic Hollywood Theater on the cover 🍿

Small weekend Parsec Express #devlog
Trying to improve UI/Menu stuff. I wanted to show what ships and weapons can do before you get 'em and build the world with things like the story behind each ship.
Wishlist now on Steam!

Throwback Thursday to that time we spent a week on Eleuthera in the Bahamas surfing without wetsuits, swimming in ocean holes, and eating the freshest fish. Missing the warmth and smell of sun on my skin right about now ☀️🏄♂️🏄♀️🐠 #surf @maggielahet.bsky.social

One of my favorite parts of the morning is picking out our mugs for the day. Maggie wanted the “Oh my god” mug for obvious reasons. I went with Gumby. He’s my reminder to stay flexible and optimistic… and my Mr Rogers mug is dirty. #coffee
