How do you like the portal activation effect? Maybe I should add fade to white or to purple.

Today Posti delivered a package to locker 666 at my local package kiosk, and now I got an error in a script on line 666. Is the universe trying to tell me something? 🤘

I got to the 46th room in Blue Prince. Really cool game. Though maybe not quite living up to the hype. Some of the puzzles were kinda bad. And the narrative beats were nice but nothing amazing. And the RNG can be annoying.

I finally finished my Avowed playthrough. I played on Path of the Damned difficulty and tried to finish all quests. It took me over over 60 hours. I wanted to like it but I don't think I can recommend it...

Music streaming "pay per stream" graphs are a great example of how many people misunderstand data.

I often see posts about switching from service X to Y based on these graphs, but that’s irrelevant. Many factors influence those numbers, but most platforms operate on a ~70-30 revenue split.

Watching some Mass Effect 5 speculation videos. It's funny, I recall back in the day, most reviews and commentary thought Shepard was a bland character. Nowadays superfans seem to be obsessed with Shep. 🤔

Made a shader test for fun

Just testing. Can I have a dialogue system with player internal monologue and exposition in a first-person game? Or is this too weird? 🤔

I have started to enjoy Marvel Rivals less for two reasons:
1. Quick Play has become very tryhard. People meta pick and are toxic if things don't go well.
2. The game secretly puts you against bots if you lose 2-3 times in row.

Watched the first 8 episodes of Secret Level. Most of them were pretty fun although they clearly had to get creative with some franchises like Pacman 😀
My favorites were the one about Warhammer 40k and surprisingly the New World one.
The Crossfire one was kinda boring.

Trying out Marvel Rivals. Pretty fun Overwatch clone so far, but I feel it would be much better if it had 1st person camera instead of 3rd person.

Recorded some placeholder voicelines so the game world doesn't feel so empty. Added lots of effects to mask my crappy VO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oYf...

For my proto, I added a quick catapult... I mean openable tailgate

Started testing a gravity gun style tool for my game. Even a very bare bones version is very satisfying to use. Clearly this means that every game should have a gravity gun! 😉
Also I noticed that some things should not be targetable with it!

A Guide to Bluesky Jargon
skeet = post
rubbing one out = drafting a post
sloppy seconds = quote-posting
edging = writing a post then deciding not to post at the last possible second
jimp = posting then deleting seconds later after realizing you shouldn’t post

Hope this helps!

Also there's this very long video about Facebook.
Shows really how morally bankrupt they are.
Which is why I don't really trust them to do a better job with Threads.
