Good morning ☕️
I joined a C++ Udemy course. A lot of it is review but I need the refresher before trying Unreal Engine. Idk what #GameDev I will have time for outside of class. Updating all existing mods by graduation is a good long-term goal (1.5 years).
My life right now is gaming fragmented by uni, watching a show fragmented by stubs, on socials fragmented by the Klept. Think I'm ready for some holiday cheer.
Excellent post-episode discussions on YT: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc7I2hzudyX-olanEnapXnbRronwbiBic
Dex is waiting in the limo. Jackie and Misty are brushing auras. Johnny isn't in my head yet. Feels subversive to roam and enjoy this part of the game without rushing into doom and gloom.
#GameDev: It's ok for players to start a new game with cash and resources. Might even match their backstory. Rags to riches is a tired trope and is partly why alt start mods are popular.
Starting a new modded Nomad playthrough (#Cyberpunk2077). Chop Shops is interesting, especially since Dakota's garage is one of the places to "recycle abandoned cars" for cash, which I will use to purchase clothing in my "Treads to Threads" routine.
Yesterday I powered through a full day of project design instead of taking a break. I'm so far ahead now in this semester that today is a day off. Going to play #Cyberpunk2077 🥳
I panicked and unfollowed some people when I just wanted to limit their flood on my timeline. Now that I've found the "mute for x days" and "turn off boosts" options I hope to find them again.
Trying to throttle people who post too much when most post too little is a mood.
