Guess who found this beauty (Djembe) at their local CSU library? Time to make a fool of myself! Its not historically accurate, since the tambour is a true ancient Egyptian drum. However, there is a functional design lineage between it and the doumbek/darbuka. #africa #music #percussion #drums

I've created a profane bash script that auto marks your code and text files every 10,000 characters using the #Geany IDE. So its easier to copy and paste code/text into a certain AI model for debugging purposes. #gamdev #writers #gdscript #coders #linux

Look at this appalling lack of readability from a real government notification regarding an arts grant. I remind our overlords that regular text color contrast should have a minimum ratio of 4.5:1. Because its too hard?

The "Making of" is also very much worth watching. 10 years thinking about this project, and it shows.

I've watched most of David Armsby's naturalistic short films at this point. This is his crescendo! In case you were wondering, this is painted, not cell shading out of #Blender. #dilophosaurus #GuillermodelToro #gothicfairytale #dino

This stupid forsaken collision shape function that parses an instance scene animation player finally, partially works! Not sure how, and its buggy as hell, but its a start! #godot #godotengine #gamedev #exhausted
