I am... so close to structuring my own game engine.

It's like. On the tip of my tongue. I'm so close.

14 year old me would be proud I think.

Christ. It is not an easy time to be a Halo fan

I guess what I keep coming back to is just. Combat Evolved still exists. You can play it right now. What's the point of re-making a game in the modern day if not to make it. Modern?
I have yet to hear a complaint about the the Halo CE remake that is not entirely superficial

I dont have much of a following on here, but if you can spare anything for Hasan and his family, please do

All else, please share
Please — don’t underestimate your act of kindness.😓❤️‍🩹

Every father dreams of giving his children safety —
but for me, safety means a roof that won’t disappear tomorrow. 🏠💔

We’re short on this month’s rent — $500 needed before the 15th —and without it, my children will have nowhere to sleep in peace.

Your kindness can be our shelter this month. 🙏❤️

Learning ECS has been fun so far. It's like. Made engines click.

The road to making my own Game Engine gets clearer every day

With any luck I'll be going into Computer Science at College this winter.

If all goes well, my game development capabilites will be much better off than right now.

Currently still trying to work on it, but perhaps I will even be able to call myself an honest to god Game Developer!

I need to get me a boring office job.

Let me enter data. Let me type away. Let me make a spreadsheet and/or send an email.

Person hearing arpeggiating synth who has seen Stranger Things: Whoa, this sounds like Stranger Things!

Oh I had no idea Unity had done ANOTHER shitty thing, I just thought this was best for my ambitions/ability ratio.

Not surprised with Unity though. Slimy fucks.
Alright fine. I'll learn Godot.

I'm a writer and musician. Both things suck in many ways and can feel like bashing your head against the wall. But the moments when you are writing and it is just flowing out of you, or someone comes up with a part and a song just forms itself as if by magic? That's the point. AI can't give you that

Umbra fucking rules
I have many thoughts on Skeletá. Too many to share here.

Bland and Generic? Fuck no. Don't get why I keep hearing that. Weird as hell? New territory for Ghost? Absolutely.

Still mulling it over, but I think it gets an 8/10 from me

I think smart phones + the general boom of "smart" technology is just. Diminishing returns at this point.

Between Ghost's policy with the new shows and Eddy Burback's recent video, it's feeling like a good idea to disconnect more.

I cannot express how badly I want the Skeletour to come to Vancouver. It's been 6 years since I've gotten to see Ghost and I've been aching to see them again

If you enjoy the Halo show that's great. I just think Halo fans deserve better.

So strange. I remember a time where Marvel/MCU seemed untouchable. Especially against DC movies.

My how the tides seem to change. Brave New World is apparently hot garbage and the new Superman has me quite excited

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you.

The effort is the point.

I can't believe people say Elon is a Nazi just because he wants concentration camps, politically supports Nazis, financially supports Nazis, and sometimes does the Nazi salute when he is excited
