Today marks exactly 13 years since I committed this culinary crime.
A sausage pierced with spaghetti. 👨🍳
It tasted inappropriate, but it wasn't entirely bad. 😄

My wife made me clarify that the train stuff is for our kids and not for me. That would be weird, right? 😅
Anyway, here's my son's design, which I used as the basis to create the model of that cone. I just needed to share it with you!

Yes, I did, a lot. Dozens of models from Printables and several custom models I made in Blender, including a small beacon lamp kit and traffic cones for wooden trains.
So far, I've used about 400 meters of filament. 😄

Getting a Prusa Mini 3D printer for Christmas can't hurt anything, right?
Except that a month later I already have over 15 kilos of filament at home, and more is on the way. 😄
The printer is already assembled, the box is full of filament spools. 😅

I finally got back to my computer after the holidays, so happy New Year to everyone! 🥳🎉🎆
I know there's someone out there who needs to hear this:
- This is the year! This year, you'll finally release your game!
So, any resolutions? 😄

So I spent my birthday today (yes, I had my birthday today) figuring out how to make a transparent texture from Blender stay transparent in Godot. 😄
The new tree (right) needs a bit of trimming where it should be transparent.
Anyone willing to help?

Can anyone explain to me what's happening with YouTube?
- Dozens of creators being removed for no apparent reason
- Old features not working or hidden behind a paywall
- More and more AI thumbnails and even entire videos on different topics
Looks like they're setting it on fire. 🔥

December is approaching fast!
For some, it's time to prepare for Christmas.
For others, it's the end of No Nut November.
And for some, it's both, as demonstrated by this amazing installation from Prague. 😄

When I build a castle out of placeholder building elements so the test town isn't so empty, and it randomly ends up looking phallic...
I really should grow up. 😄

My 5yo discovered today that there is multiplayer in Bubblinka, so our whole evening was just us playing together.
I forgot that I managed to make it work on local networks years ago. 😅

Guess who had their first presentation of a web app today, right at the exact moment when Cloudflare decided to go on its little trip to Unavailableland? 🥲
Probably my new level of luck as the head of SW development. 😅

A small experiment with a different graphic style for the intro image of the treetop levels. 🌳
Which one's better?
The new painted one (left), or the original simple vector one?
Any feedback highly appreciated!

After the original Skyfall biome, a bubble heaven in the clouds, comes the development of a new biome.
Check out this (early placeholder) image that enters its story among the treetops! 🌳🌲
Now to learn and figure out how to make it look good. 😅

I found these three characters in my old notes and sketches, and it's time to give them life and create the right environment for them!
