Last bit of testing, but on schedule to release this on Friday for the playdate! I ran with the title UFO Mayhem because it just felt right.

I finally got around to giving Immortality a crack. It's a really impressive undertaking, with pretty interesting moment to moment writing & choreography. I feel like I came away from it feeling like I missed something more substantial within it though. I do recommend it for the cultural value!

I've been working on a small podcast app for the playdate with the newish networking library. Still a little jank to look at, but you can download episodes of podcasts, check for new releases, search and add feeds to your list of podcasts. #playdate

Took multiple cable cars today on Mount Hiei. I don't think many tourists come to this place. Look how pretty this is.

My garmin just doesn't understand that drinking on the river last night was fun. (Orange bad)

All computer controlled characters build up a weight table and an action priority list. Really glad I stuck with a really simple set of rules. Made it really easy to change things and resulted in intelligent but also readable behaviour. #playdate

I need to get out of the city more. And look up more.

What a day to be outside!

For the low low price of $12.95 you can give the gift of Mono to a friend or loved one.

Last Friday, my doctor called me an "Athlete". 😎 Today will mark 12 months since I started exercising. It's amazing what humans can achieve in a year. I started at 95kg and I'm now 70kg.

Now you can face your problems. In what ever direction they might be coming from.

Kinda important to be able to see move ranges. Experimenting with showing attack range too.
