I sure am. I'll take it for a spin later today.

I've requested access to the playtest! I've got to try this game out sometime.

OK. It's done, I fixed it. My blog is now readable, to you at least.

I used the Dark Reader chrome extension for general convenience, but now have to disable it for Blogger.

MY EYES! THEY BURN!!!!! IT'S ACTUALLY HORRIBLE!!!

I'm in the middle of changing all my blog post's text colors from black to white. It's a tedious, but necessary.

But then I got to my coyote time post.

I'M IN HELL RIGHT NOW!!!! ALL BECAUSE OF MY STUPID PINK COYOTE TEXT.

So, I just got some feedback on the readability of my blog. I didn't think about it because I have a dark mode extension.

I just turned it off.

MY WHOLE BLOG HAS BEEN UNREADABLE FOR THE LAST 27 DAYS!!!!

I AM SO SORRY!!!!!!!

It's the little things in life, y'know.

I've been using these same clippers for the last decade. I have no idea where they're from. I've never thought about it because I only need to cut my nails twice a month. (Every 17 days, specifically)

Big kudos to @izzi8bit.bsky.social. The best way to learn to write code is to actually write code.

I put together this rinky dink timer function for my jump input buffer today. Took me a solid hour, but it works.

Fun Fact:

While working on Monkanics today, I had to increase my player's size by 15x!

This causes some... anomalies. Namely, everything is 15x slower.

Now, my Monkey Pill feels like King Kong in my old test level.

Wow! I've never gotten this much engagement from a post before. Maybe Bluesky's the way to go.

I hope I didn't sound too deranged on my devblog. I just have a lot of mental instability and need to vent to feel better.

Thanks for reading!
