Another #devlog for #ParsecExpress:
I've been working on a wave survival mode for a demo and it's honestly so much fun! It gets chaotic after you survive a few waves and the bigger ships come after you! I can't wait for people to check out!

A little #devlog for #ParsecExpress:
I've been working on adding carrier ships that allow you to deploy fighter drones and it's pure chaos in war zones! This is still pretty early but it's coming along.

My highlights from Rose City Comic Con today:
The @wilwheaton.net and @felicia.day panel was awesome! I was a Wheaton fan before, even more so now 🖖
My buddy found me this Wesley Crusher card 😂
I got a variant of the new Batman #1 with our historic Hollywood Theater on the cover 🍿

I made a little game bot that uses an LLM-style model to recommend games based on your mood.
It uses sentence-transformer embeddings, fetches fresh games from RAWG, and even remembers your likes/dislikes.

Small weekend Parsec Express #devlog
Trying to improve UI/Menu stuff. I wanted to show what ships and weapons can do before you get 'em and build the world with things like the story behind each ship.
Wishlist now on Steam!

Throwback Thursday to that time we spent a week on Eleuthera in the Bahamas surfing without wetsuits, swimming in ocean holes, and eating the freshest fish. Missing the warmth and smell of sun on my skin right about now ☀️🏄♂️🏄♀️🐠 #surf @maggielahet.bsky.social

One of my favorite parts of the morning is picking out our mugs for the day. Maggie wanted the “Oh my god” mug for obvious reasons. I went with Gumby. He’s my reminder to stay flexible and optimistic… and my Mr Rogers mug is dirty. #coffee

For Christmas this year my amazing girlfriend got me a PlayDate (it’s like she listens to me when I babble on about cool tech and video game stuff) and I love this thing! I kinda want to develop something for it 🤔 Other #playdate owners, what are your favorite games on this? @play.date

Hi BlueSky! I finally cut off Meta and deleted my FB and Insta accounts so I’m just gonna post a little about myself:
My name is Cash! I like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Bjj black belt), surfing (total kook), tech and programming (I like to make stuff), travel, TTRPGs, and video games (retro and modern).

The only game I’ve bought (so far) in this Steam Autumn Sale is this small, indie game. I thought it’d be a lot of fun to put on the #vewlix #arcade for our Christmas Party then see who can beat it. I think it was made by 1 person so I’m glad to throw down my $4 for it! #legendofsanta #indiegames
