It took me a long time to learn that using a fixed palette, even for pixel art, is a bad idea for game art. Rather just do whatever works best and maybe extract a palette for further expansion later (but probably not).

Big Decision Time! Do I replace my old graphics tablet with another graphics tablet, or a drawing tablet (at 4x the price and huge). 🤔

Trust @cathjenkin.bsky.social to send me a box of cream filled OnlyFans themed donuts. 😂

Just over 30 years ago I took a short (3 month) break from my graduate studies (I was burnt out) and created an epic 2D top down shooter, which is sadly lost forever. Today I'm starting a recreation of that game, which will hopefully be true to the original. 😍

I've been in this business for so long that IDGAF about your micro services or design patterns - show me the stuff that makes people happy.

The biggest scam in history is Woolworths replacing 6-pack muffins with 4. 🤬

I've realized that I don't actually want a job - I just want money.

After the last year of layoffs, I think the best course of action is to start my own indie game studio (on the side, of course - I still want the sweet redundancy package). 😃

FFS - I'm getting tired of all the layoffs in the gaming industry, especially now that it's the company I work for. 😖

I think it's really sweet that some people think that starting your day at 8am is early. 😂

A mosquito bit me on my eyelid. ON MY EYELID! Now I know that eyes swell completely shut if a mosquito bites you ON YOUR EYELID!

Arsehole! Jack would have survived if they had responded. 🤬
For those who don't recall, the closest ship to the Titanic was The Californian. They did not respond to distress signals. The Carpathia did, from much further away. That captain was a hero.

This is so worth your time.
This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times.

What is this thing with people opening "time capsules" that have been sealed for a whole 30 years? I've got an open bottle of peanut butter that's older than that.
