Also hello new friends!

I'm Haigen, an unreal game dev who loves otters and wants to someday be able to release a video game that makes people smile. I like sailing and doing creative things and play a fair bit of video games, sometimes I even stream it.
Man I want nothing more than to just smash like 100 mozzarella sticks, ten giant chicken parmas and a hsp before having the biggest food coma 😭

Past two days I've been suffering from what looks like orthostatic hypotension which sucks. Essentially being obese and losing weight especially after being on a low calorie diet for so long causes my blood pressure which used to be high to be a lot lower.

Today I started a new diet provided by a dietitian, got an exercise bike installed, setup and did my first ride. Goal is to ride daily and this thread will be how I share and keep track of the rides I do.

Today: 2.3km Cherry Blossoms at Hondo Wanaka Tsutsumi [2024 spring]

I wish I knew why I had such friction learning C++ in Unreal. I picked up C# really quickly and even managed to jump to javascript fine but I just can't seem to get rid of the grinding sensation when trying to code in c++ :( I can do it but it's painfully slow going...

Hmm if not Y'shtola probably Lyna or Almet, but otherwise she wouldn't really have known much about relationships and thus not pursued one.

if your WoL/OC wasn't with their current partner, which NPC would they have ended up with?

I still have a goal of moving to Sweden and getting a job making a game at a game studio. I'm hoping that after Feb I'll be able to dedicate more time to pursuing that goal.

Lots of improvements on this, much smoother DOF focusing, added in all the ambiance, and it works as an ingame menu too :)

I genuinely don't understand how anyone is watching Beast Games & feeling anything other than disgust. Dangling money in peoples faces who talk about how life changing it would be & then having it be taken away then highlighting them crying/breaking down on camera is so dystopian.

I'm saddened to inform you that I have decided to leave Coffee Stain. Being your community manager has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, but it's time for me to embark on the next chapter!

Drake just signed a legal document acknowledging "Not Like Us" did him great harm.

Is this not the biggest defeat in hip-hop history?

Finished reading Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson and just wow. Incredible book and the end of the first arc of such an amazing series. I can't believe it will be so long before this continues but as always, journey before destination.

Fantasian is out!! I’m waiting for the physical release, but I’m so glad it’s finally free from Apple Arcade. I only played the first half (it was released in two parts), so I’m excited to finally finish it.

I just wish they marketed the dioramas more 😭 The backgrounds are REAL DIORAMAS!!!!!
