Brain to me: Hey jank, why aren't you doing any #programming

Me: is it better to have the unreadable but more succinct bitwise or the front heavy enum for storing dungeon room exit info in this proof of concept I started today?

I write very normal meet cutes. Don't ask how many times similar things have happened to me or if I write from experience.

Sometimes programming is like iterating on a 3D model where it looks like nothing changes.
But I know how many issues I had to resolve to get it to something that looks effortless.

Do i have a problem?
Yes, its too hot to wear these more often.
Just once, I want to turn up to work in a full lolita coord to answer why I never buy clothes my work sells.

I can be trusted with trick turning mechanics. I can be normal about trick turning mechanics. Please just let me put some trick turning mechanics in my game, it'll be so cool, I promise.
Algebraic solutions for point scoring in a pen and paper game is normal and cool.

I sometimes think clever clogs try to pick just the right frame to have at that few minutes into an episode point where Netflix asks you to wiggle the controller.

Guess who's (self imposed) ban on using IbisPaint has been lifted. Time to pretty up my trans zines so they're no longer works in progress.

Some people like to flex on how early they got into a series.
My first MtG product was from a friend trying (and failing) to get me into magic, and i still have the box.
Until recently this box was where I kept my expensive lands and a craterhoof behemoth.
I didn't get into MtG until Gatecrash

I love it when the art assets come in and it suddenly looks like a real game

Clover is the best. Edible, has beautiful flowers, great ground cover, can handle being walked on quite well.
And check out this one I found with an aberrant number of leaves.

I don't often make digital art (cause I'm not good at it), but sometimes I buckle down and do it anyway cause I have an idea only i can make.
Circuit wizardry.

My desk at work is litterally filled with a headless laptop mainboard that I plan to bolt to the bottom of my desk as a sneaky second computer and a raspberry pi I have similar intentions with.
Put computers in weird places. Show of their cool bus lanes and capacitors. They're art.

Can you tell when I first put up my visual novel?

I was reminded of a tool for malicious compliance that i used to use when people over the phone tried to give me the run around or lie to me. An alternate set of words to use for a phonetic alphabet, except they don't help you at all to listen to.

Tragically, it's just from a joke page from the team scanlating the manga.

Yeah, I have a default string I put in #gamedev projects to test text rendering...no it's not ipsum lorum

I think my favorite thing i programmed recently was a tool for my text only game to make circular text labels.

Yo, to prove my #gamedev chops here's a 200 word TTRPG you probably shouldn't play on a table.
I made it for a game jam last year where the word limit was 200 words, but you could jank your way around it somewhat.
