Made a turkey pot-pie with Thanksgiving leftovers

I spent the last 6 weeks getting this prototype for Warlord Protocol up to date, and now it's finally ready! The first playtest is this Friday, and I'm very excited to see how the changes I've made play out! Its been way too long since I've had the energy to practice game dev, and it feels amazing

Today marks the first day of my new CSR job! And with it, I'll be getting back 10 hours of my week! No more 2-3 hour round trip commutes every day! Iplan on using this time to continue developing Warlord Protocol. It's been far too long, and I'm itching to get back into it.

Milo is my Palico in Monster Hunter Wilds.

I played/beat the Minish Cap for the first time this weekend. I overall enjoyed it, and it has some of my favorite dungeons in the franchise. But, I wasn't a fan of the kinstone system being required for many environmental puzzles in the overworld... or how another kinstone was often the reward.

Merry X-Mas! Have a pic of my cat, Milo

I thought my total listening time would have been higher considering the amount of time I spent stuck in commuter traffic this year. And the majority of this time came from audio books. I'm not surprised @morningsomewhere.bsky.social made it to the top of my podcast list.

It's here!

I'm gradually decorating my new desk at work!
