I write, make, draw, play, game, and do handsome faces. I made Hive Time. Currently making Fossil Sweeper (a game about digging up fossils), Winter's Wake & Icicle (and a stack of side things).

If I appear to have boosted or engaged with LLM slop, please let me know. Obviously I do my best to avoid it, but douchecanoes are actively working to make that harder.

#nobridge should not be necessary -_-

Just finished uploading a larger selection of my photos from April. Magpies, cockatoos, corellas, lizards, ravens, clouds, a white goshawk, and an eagle (white bellied sea eagle maybe)

This evening has had a sad surprise for me.

Now, I am calling for #openSUSE to revert the recently imposed project-wide ban on young people:

Not sure how I feel about it yet (I've only done one dig site so far), but on a whim, I changed one line of code to see how a dig would feel if it were at a 45 degree angle.

Maybe this kind of presentation for "rare specimen" dig sites could help them feel more special/distinctive prior to completing excavation. Mechanically it's the same, but it has a perceptual impact, I think.

Doin some Fossil Sweeper work in a bit (just popping some seeds in the bird feeder). Probably globe shape key stuff today https://devstream.fossilsweeper.com/

Learn in public. Write and talk about what you learn. Discover it like archaeology even though it's barely six seconds old. Talk to the people who were there before you, and ask them what they were thinking,

Don't take for granted that people are oracles who will tell you what's good or not. That ship sailed long ago with everyone wanting us to make them an app and make them rich while they gave us only ideas and expected us to do the work.

Instead you have to want to learn and show that you're doing it, and be willing to make messes and mistakes and own them. Because if you're just vibing, you won't get it.

Finally got time to get rid of that gross thing that was growing on my face. Looking forward to being able to sleep a full night without being woken up by it =_=

Time for another late-but-not-so-late Fossil Sweeper progress update post!

During the period covered, I worked more on ironing out my globe asset production workflows.
