i wonder how much more progress i'd be making on my game if i hadn't decided on wildly expensive things like "if the player presses jump while running off an edge, their landing point should be the same if they press it a little early or late"

Idk if this has been done before but I shoved two interests together to practise lighting but really I just had fun with it. #ffxiv

i have been staring at my platforming code for hours, anxiously going back and forth on what information i want in my configuration file to determine the parameters of my jumping, and i just realized it doesn't actually matter because changing it later will take thirty minutes tops love my brain

the options are - raw impulse - jump height - jump distance each of these can easily be derived from any one of the others! why is this so hard

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

it's even made of old, worn bricks! anyone who can lift a slightly overloaded grocery bag can get over that wall if the alternative is being mauled

the "f" in silent hill: townfall is the only letter that isn't partially washed out so i am looking forward to playing the sequel to one of my favorite games of 2025

aw man this fucking sucks all i want is to log into xiv and i can't and the game is down and i don't wanna play anything else me when xiv is available:

yesterday i told my UMAD static that the only way i'd finish my relic was if raid night got cancelled because i'm starting to get a little burned out on ffxiv anyhow i guess it's time to play more control

really wish that the "play 3 games as an assassin" and "win 3 games" quests in hots weren't mutually exclusive; i only have so much time in my evening

the worst part of youtube's view metric change is that now i can't judge whether any given "breakcore mix" is an actually good collection of songs that people listened to all the way through or if it's AI slop that people clicked off of after 5 seconds

can any cat experts tell me why this awful creature is obsessed with my armpits? my other cat does normal things like licking my hair or headbutting my arm but this fucker keeps waking me up at one in the morning with her hunger for aluminum chlorohydrate and i would like her to stop

oh good: after over a month, the pharmacy finally has my adhd meds back in stock, meaning that i have one fewer reason not to hate myself for failing to get anything done

not only do you control the engines separately, you can pull back on both sticks and then slam them forward to do a big boost, and nobody can stop you from saying "pchoo" when you do it

traveling with someone who has airline status when you don’t is the closest experience modern life can offer to squiring for a knight

i really hate the new robot voice at the seattle light rail stations. it’s warm and casual to the point where it’s jarringly unprofessional, with little pauses and hums that make it sound like it was recorded in one take by someone grabbed out of the break room, not a public announcer
