I didn't even know CB hotel thing was today and tbh I'm okay w/ that as I have 0 interest in going this year.
Maybe I'll try more realistically next year.
I am afraid though that I'll either...
* completely hate it
* or LOVE it and be sad that I didn't go to more / sooner...
But for 2026...

New #HAFO stage in the works. I think I have my pipeline nearly finalized. I don't "love" the colors of this but fortunately I can edit these within the texture later. The maxscript saved a ton of friggin' time though...

This reminds me a bit of how I wanted to change my language of constantly saying "I hate it" all the time; which was a challenge cause I was finding I didn't like much...
Honestly same with videogames, it used to be "it's not like Call of Duty" now it's "it's not buggy AAA slop" what the fuck are you talking about, what do you actually enjoy about this piece of media, i beg you to tell me
"its not marvel" "its not a remake" nigga i dont care, why is the movie good, tell me a single thing about the movie itself, why are yall so bad at recommending shit

I am willing to change Ludum Dare in meaningful ways, as admittedly LD has grown stagnant. I need to put more thought into what that would mean though. I have several LD-related projects that never got off the ground due to me being bad at finding funding for them (i.e. education, social, etc). 🤔
Exactly how we get there, I don't know, but watching how the US has become an "island" where queers can't enter (or exit) has got me wondering if there's anything we can do.
GDCs recent rebranding and their new Saudi Arabia event makes me think SOMETHING has to change, for everyone's sake.

UGH!!! I finally fixed #HAFO and the accessory / color system.
Now accessories are dynamically loaded so they all don't have to be on the prefab and can be dynamically recolored.
I sort of wanna redo the idle cause it's annoying...lol
