Fullstack Web Developer and Games Designer. SysAdmin and DevOps at the fingertips. Probably a conscious stream of what's going on #dayinthelife
I'm catching up on #ResidentEvilShowcase. Gameplay looks interesting; I'd be happy if it was like a A-Playthough and B-Playthrough, rather than switching between the 2 character (jarring).
I got the impression that they've tried combining 2 different games.

Halfway through, comes all the shlling.

What have I done today? Bug fixes.
Integrated an #API into an already built system; not separated out via #microservices or #containers but all together.
It was interesting. Learned a lot.

Follow on from yesterday, I finally got a custom package to install via NPM... kinda.
The important thing is that it works fully as intended; now to refine and refactor the process, and hopefully have it deploying correctly (privately hosted FYI).

I don't know about the rest of the #UK, but in #Yorkshire it's impossible to actually find funding and/or support for #SMEs or #startups (my guess it is nationwide).

It's such a shame because a lot of these people cannot chase after their dreams due to this. They have to get a #9to5.

Today is #WIP day. I am working on a custom #NPM package that is self hosted, and accessed/downloaded remotely via the package.json.
The package works as it's own project (cloned and spun in a container), but it's getting it to work as the package now (it is tarballed with npm pack)

Today I've spent 2 hrs fixing a very small and "quick" issue.

I needed to understand the code (no comments), to clean it up (broken code and lines commented out), to refactor it, and then finally implement the fix via industry standards #trialAndError

I've been playing #Pokémon Sword, Legends Arceus, and Violet lately.
As a #gamesdesigner and a #gamer, I am pretty shocked with how bad the games have become.

Sword felt like a polished game, even though there was "pay-walled" content.
Arceus worked, but looked nasty (textures).
Violet, hot mess.

I've signed up to bsky. I'm trying to push myself to be more "social". I've heard good things about #bsky so I thought I'd give it a go.
