Expect dev logs, queer joy, nonsense, and maybe the occasional messy feeling. This is my only account. No alts, this is all of me.
I follow broadly, but don't repost NSFW

This is my favorite #DevLog I've done so far. I really honestly hated doing them at first, really. But doing them is keeping me on task so I'm going with it.

Lights coming on in Sussex Street: a favourite place in Cambridge, mixed media work (sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition). Buildings delightfully designed by architect E.R.Barrow in the 1920s and '30s. Green pantiles particularly effective.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

James and I have been doing lots of work on Gutterspace, the #couchcoop game we’ve been building together.
It’s a hand-drawn #2Dplatformer where two players share one body, built around #poetry, #emotionaldesign, and #localmultiplayer

Not romanticize old tech, but we had game consoles that would just play shit and that’s it. Everything got too complicated from the 7th gen onwards with consoles being bloated with tons of features, ads, notifications, etc.
Meanwhile all my PlayStation 2 has to do is turn on and play Ace Combat.

Suddenly, putting weight on my right leg hurts my hip bone so bad I make a sound and have started hobbling around the apartment with an umbrella as an improvised cane.
All I did to it was turn 40 this year.

Sweepminer releases in two days, and while I know it won't sell much or at all (i wrote about this here: smolware.dev/smolblog/pos...) I'm really proud of the work accomplished. Especially the Steam artworks I created using #blender. 🧵

My childhood!!!!
Who remembers PC gaming in the 2000s then? if so, what's your favourite game from this era?
Thrilled to share latest arrival, this Y2K Win XP, Sony VAIO Laptop ... and whilst I played way too much later versions of the "The Sims", I've never played the original. So guess what I'm playing tonight :)

This veteran would love to be able to afford to live in New York. If Zohran can get it so that a 2-bedroom is $1,600 I'm there.
The days of thanking veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow has to come to an end.
