To reassess eating habits I reinstalled my go to calorie tracking app, Calory. It has been so enshittified I couldn’t get to any functionally w/o multiple dark patterns triggering an in app purchase. So, I vibe coded the functionality I wanted in Claude Code in 10 minutes and threw it on a server. 💅

Nine slight variations, but I'm really leaning toward `main-deer-right-16x16-9.png`.

I like the ...
- Bigger eyes (more expressive)
- "Deer-like" snout
- Bigger ears (cute)
- Snout divides the eyes (realistic)
- The single dark pixel to represent the hoof (hand)

I don't love ...
- Smaller antlers

Finally got around to adding the needed DNS record to change my handle here to `@twitty.dev`. It's a good handle, IMHO.

I was searching for a photo of our dogs and Apple Photos included a screenshot of “the dog” from TLoU2. AHHHHHHHH!

Costco packaging getting out of control.

There are objectively better ways to package up cans of Pringles that isn’t a four foot spar of dehydrated potato flakes.

I sometimes still go to Google Reader thinking, "maybe it was all a dream". Nope, it's gone.

We have our first GBC compatible asset, still a bit of a work in progress.

4 colors to a palette and one palette per sprite is a pretty interesting restriction for the hardware.

Looking at PS2s on OfferUp. You couldn’t pay me to take this controller off your hands. 🤢

Cozy? Warm? Yes.

Safe? Probably no.

I'm thinking about making a Link's Awakening DX style game to tell a queer story, mostly as a hobby activity. I've been doing some research and I'm a bit torn between using GBDK (more authentic) and Godot (more modern / marketable). Anyone got thoughts?

Multiple times per day I'm getting "reset your Instagram" password emails. Someone is trying so hard to hack my Instagram account. Sweetie, let me tell you, it ain't much, there are bigger fish. Please, move along.

Soaked, scrubbed, sauna’d, charcuterie’d, and slightly buzzed. It would be safe to say I enjoyed the Sky Lagoon.

When we came to Iceland for my 30th we went on a Northern Lights tour and didn’t see anything. Now we’re back for my 40th and, babes, we’re cookin’ …

Waterfalls, black sand, and a glacier.

Apparently the photo with the van was a Rogue One filming location.

Some highlights from the New Year’s photos last night.

It’s so wild how Iceland does fireworks. Nothing official, just Icelanders buying the “big ones” themselves and just shooting them off all over the city for hours. Every direction you look is a show and bottles of champagne in the street. 🥳🍾🎆✨

A timelapse of (some of) the photos I took at Hallgrimskirkja in Reykjavik for New Year’s. 🥳🥂✨

Happy New Year!!

Back in the hotel watching (w/ 81% of Icelanders) the year-in-review-in-Iceland comedy show. No idea what they’re saying, but we think they’ve joked about …

- new parking rules at the airport
- people getting prescribed Ozempic
- food delivery drivers cutting in line
- quality of Temu products

New Years getting started here in Iceland. First up, headed down to the coast for a little bonfire action.

Handheld fireworks on M, camera skills at their limit here.
