Making dying animal sprites certainly is not my favourite part of my game project. But it's a Far Cry clone, so it's part of the package sadly. #solodev

Just started Assassin's Creed Shadows and it's cool, but really, is the Animus Hub thing really necessary? What it is means is if you bought on Steam (which I didn't), when you start the game you go from that launcher to another launcher (Ubi Connect) to yet another launcher (the Hub). 3 launchers!

Whenever the Toronto Air Show happens I think back to when I saw a plane crash at an air show when I was a kid and had PTSD dreams about it for years afterwards but it was the '90s so I was just kind of like, "oh well" 😅

I'm having to include a unit on medieval manuscripts in the course I'm teaching in the fall and I'm debating telling my students about that time when I got kicked out of medieval school.
