Got some animations going in engine. Positions are a bit wonky, so it's still a WIP. Super excited though!

Did an at home sleep apnea test last night and wearing all the sensors definitely made me sleep poorly but not in a sleep apnea kind of way :'(

🧵Canadian friends: if you want to vote for the next leader of the NDP, you have *just one week left* to buy a (cheap) party membership.

After that, there will be a big English debate and lots of media coverage, but it will be too late to have a say.

Only members can vote for leader.

Really enjoyed playing The Roottrees are Dead this weekend! Flew through the main game, got surprised by the DLC game, and am now struggling 😂

There is more distraction content in the DLC game which adds nice flavour but I'm finding it decently more difficult 🧐

Pentiment is one of the greatest works of art ever made. Kicking myself for taking this long to sit down and play it. Shout out Josh Sawyer.

Welp, I hadn't planned on getting hooked on Hollow Knight because it didn't jive with me previously but I played for 6 hours 😬 But now back to the office 😭
Decided to not spend my Sunday frustrated so I switched to famously less difficult game Hollow Knight.
