@mr_daemon I do both, got a book I write notes in and todos, as well as in my code and I also have a giant whiteboard but just generally talk out loud about the bugs I'm working on. My project isn't solo but my friend who I work with is in the USA while I'm in New Zealand.

@fringemagnet Yup he totally is, at first he kinda just ate leftovers from the other cats but now he expects a new bowl of food like our fussy cats lol, and he seems to think this is his second house, went to bed yesterday to my surprise he was on my bed asleep lol

@fringemagnet This cat comes to our house daily and hangs out in my room from time to time, he isn't even my cat lol but he was super friendly from the first day we moved here. Black cats are cool lol, I guess he was friendly because we have 5 cats (maybe the other cats kinda either get annoyed by him or ignore him) but I think because we are nice to cats he just comes over when he wants.

Some practical effects and action figure #photography by A_Visual_Odyssey which features a glimpse of one of my favorite #gaming series of all time.

That's table salt and regular flour being sifted together to simulate snow on the Metal Gear Rex!

Such an incredible image

@lisyarus I was doing something similar for the map generation system for my game, but instead of triangles that you use it was hexes, fortunately I found this website that made things a whole lot easier for me to understand https://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/ it might be somewhat useful since triangles and hexagons are kinda compatible

Here's some GREAT news: the first kākāpō chick in four years hatched on Valentine's Day! Kākāpō are nocturnal, flightless parrots that are endemic to New Zealand and are critically endangered. Only 236 adult kākāpō are alive today, so every chick is a milestone for the species!

@thomastc @lisyarus oh and also Nikita, your town game looks cool too! I watched a couple of your YouTube vids talking about the development of your game, I need to get back to watching it haha but it was looking really good, would love to try it out whenever you release it!

@thomastc @lisyarus Yeah that's true, same for the game I'm working on, me and my friend that are working on it will probably do some brainstorming later at some point + checking to see if the name is taken such too. I saw your pinned post btw, the game is looking cool! Reminds me of Salt which I haven't played in forever but had a fun time playing.
