I seem to have lucked into playing the loudest and quietest games of all time simultaneously. Star Wars: Galactic Racer at full volume is about as loud as Project Silverfish at 15% volume. How does that even happen.

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

Getting a malfunction in multiplayer and maintaining position with a perfect recovery and slamming the ramjet to catch up and everything's beeping and clicking and ka-chunking and it's so tense and feels SO GOOD Galactic Racer is a very good time. I hope it does well and gets many updates.

Weird that there's no custom mapping in game, but still props to whoever on the Star Wars: Galactic Racer team that decided arming the ramjet should be on R3. Feels like taking one hand off the wheel to slam a big button.

One thing I love in Control Resonant is how easy it is to see where there's groups of enemies in the world, without compass icons or red blobs on a map. They have it easy with their type of enemies, but I'd like to see other games attempt it. Waving flashlights, campfire smoke, that type of thing.

I dreamed there was a big, cuddly dragon and then she started smooching on me and now I'm just sitting here like what am I supposed to do with my life

A bit of shader, a bit of particle, a bit of blendshape for extra immersion... Poiyomi can do much subtler things than covering everything in glitter and RGB lights! #VRChat

I wonder if I'm still subconsciously stuck on the schedule of working every other week, and that's why I sometimes inexplicably feel stressed out yet unable to get anything done for a few days at a time. I wonder how long it would take to deprogram such a thing...

Attention creators: Gumroad now requires all digital products to be refundable within 7 days of buying it, regardless of your settings. Now anyone can simply grab something and immediately refund it. Ugh

There's a few librarian positions open in neighboring towns. That sounds like it could be a cozy job, but it requires three more years of school! What does a librarian do that takes three years to learn?? I thought it was just books! I can sort a book!

Hey. You like fonts?

Chequered Ink@chequered.ink

We have literally just gone on image flip and made like 7 of these because we A) need money B) want you to have 1200 fonts for commercial use for just $19 ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pack

Sometimes I feel really strongly about something and think it'd be fun to get a camera and rant for a few minutes, but then I go over it by myself and when I'm done, it's just gone. The rant has escaped. I can't recreate how I got to the point I made so eloquently to myself. How do people do it...?

So, who wants to develop something? Let's make a thing that sells 200 copies so I can put off looking for a new job for two more weeks! I have so many skills that I'm bad at but could be good at if I had extrinsic motivation! And ADHD meds, probably. I'll look into that next week. Probably.

Keychain's a few grams lighter as I walk out of the office without my fob for the first time in 11 years. No getting back in now. Starting today, I am officially unemployed. Gonna keep it that way on purpose for a few months for the sake of my health, before I start worrying about what comes next.

I downloaded a photo-scanned island to see how my new sky/atmosphere/clouds system holds up to a real location - try to spot me in all 3 pics! :) World is now public on @vrchat.com, with OpenFlight. vrchat.com/home/world/w... (P.S. heatwave folks: this produces heat)

I'm pretty sure it's impossible for something to be a true imitation of itself. The concept of imitation surely requires difference and I'm already me. A cake disguised as a cake. The floor here is made of floor. Pointed exaggeration - that, we can do - but I don't think imitation is the right word.
