My work friends and I very randomly bumped into Conan O'Brien on Monday. We got a selfie with him and his people got a photo of us taking the selfie

That photo became the socmed header for many posts about Conan being here. And it culminated in a shitposter using that photo for a tarp.

I thought having multiple versions of the same game engine installed on your computer was bad.

I'm not confident enough in my bike handling to take drops like this.

Had fun riding bikes around the city with my friends and hanging out at different cafes.

When I'm working from home, this is my “do it for her” sign.

(I need more money to build up this bike frame)

I still haven't successfully explained to anyone in the company what the Famidisk replica is on my lanyard.

Added Puzzmo to my homescreen and it looks like it's eating Firefox

Sometimes reading the comments is good.

I was prepared to go haha what a wacky setup, but one of the comments reminded me that accessibility is a common good we game devs should strive for.

Like how sidewalk curb cuts ended up helping everyone out.

There's a kid on a bike I see a lot on my morning commute, and it's very cute when we happen to stop by the bakery at the same time.

We normally have our two full size bikes inside our unit, we had to temporarily move them to the communal bike parking which is really stuffed full of bikes. Meanwhile, so many car park slots remain dormant.

We had bike friends over and the building admin wouldn't let us rent a car parking space for all the bikes. We needed to bring the bikes into our small unit and managed to get 6 friend bikes inside, not including our two foldies.

(We could have fit even more bikes in one car park space)

Office had a life drawing session, haven't done any physical art in a while. For a programmer, these aren't the worst drawings I guess.

Unintentional comedy hour from Facebook's AI slop.

Did some #pixelart while office mates player magic cards over the lunch break. This felt nice.

Used #dotpict with the daily theme #SeaBiscuit

Posting your test score on a creative thinking test thinking you're big dogging and forgetting you're posting into a feed specifically built around creativity and getting big dogged instead (this is very funny to me)

Went out biking today dressed like a slob to do a recycling run. It's fun!

Saw quite a few kids out on their bikes too, sadly the city doesn't have a lot of car free spaces for them to ride their bikes in.

Some old #PixelArt animation that I'm still kind of happy with.

I got annoyed with the bike lane width on my commute and did some guerilla width adjustment

Another old #PicoCAD piece playing around with the inverted faces trick. I *think* I intentionally played with the texture warping for the water? I forget now though.

Another old #PicoCAD piece I had fun making, it's fun to play with the old school flipped normals trick.

Turns out I haven't uploaded this old #PicoCAD piece to Bsky yet. PicoCAD is on sale, go check it out!
