Back in early YouTube, I hated those lame hand-drawn animation tools—so I made a series with real paper puppets and my own hands.
Got a lot of hate then, but with AI flooding everything now maybe it's time folks will appreciate more tangible art forms.

Tell me your passions without telling me your passions.
Listening to music lately has become resuming playlists on #FooBar2k on my laptop or gaming PC. Driving, it's resuming another playlist on YT Music.
So I go from #Bjork Hyperballad remixes to #DepecheMode - In your room Zephyr Mix to #Wonderstuff early stuff or C64 Sid Remixes. Hurts my brain.

Hey! I'm a software engineer by day that's been learning to make games on my own for over 10 years. I design, make assets, and code during my free time. My current project, Project Timbre, is a 3D platformer consisting of 3 unique alpha levels. I'm planning to put it up on itch, and steam, for free.

I’m also here for glode or glid instead of glided, and strove instead of strived. We’ve lost many of our strong verbs and these days simply tack on an ‘-ed’ in the past tense (texted? Why not ‘toxt’?).
US English retains more of them: there is poetry in ‘dove’, as opposed to ‘dived’.

The "imagine" part is just that, using your imagination to think outside the box. Something religious people rarely do.
