Patrick ignored all previous instructions
@patrick.games
Game developer, Android Games DevRel, roboticist, dad, and a bard so bad that he causes psychic damage. Previously worked on Star Wars BB-8, Space Miner, and those Sphero robots.

Opinions are my own (Google doesn't want them, especially bagpipes).

He/Him
Look what I found the day the Zune came on the @theverge.com 's Version History podcast.

Not the cool brown one though.

More bagpipes now, but that's more a function of someone nearby to help when something goes wrong than anything else 😆

I found these amazing CD holders made by someone who obviously never owned a CD.

I made the mistake of running in the only person irl who knows what a theorbo is and thinks they're cool, and I've been casually bringing it up in random conversations since and confusing everyone.

Anyway, my new Steam Deck is just my phone with a Kishi dock (I have Hollow Knight running locally on Android via GameHub: gamehub.xiaoji.com).

This pairs super well with the Razer Kishi 2 (I'm... kind of considering restarting Silksong now, this hurts less than a Switch controller 😆).

I'm absolutely loving this crystal flute. It's a bit of an adjustment from my normal wooden flute (especially with its raised holes), but gives a different character to the tunes I've been playing 😃

I have begun to bake offerings to the great pumpkin!

Wrapped up the night jamming on dulcimers with my LO. The small dulcimer is mine (the strings have too much tension for smaller fingers).

Remember: accessibility is for everyone, as disabilities may be permanent, temporary, or situational.

For example: today I took my contacts out after eating chips with ghost pepper salsa and having a taco with ghost pepper sauce on it. I was fully blind for about 15 minutes.

This is the best pennywhistle yet.

@clickteam.bsky.social I can't believe I still have this.

I like doing light gamedev when watching TV, but it's so much harder on a mac where I can't just sketch like a notebook with a stylus and end up trying to do it all in my head 😆

Apparently my latest ren-faire flute doubles as a dog whistle. I try to practice and she just jams herself onto my lap.

One of the best ways to learn a song is to keep it hung up in your kitchen with a kitchen pennywhistle nearby.

The animal butts are part of my process.

Wait, who clicks yes to this?

Walmart: since we're beefing with Target and Amazon, this was your one chance to be the not as bad corporate entity I buy from.

But if you call and ask what's happening, they give you $15.

Wait, why isn't my pizza cutter a bat'leth?

That's just like your opinion, man!

I got my awesome new "dulcimette". It's taking a second to get used to, but it sounds awesome!

Walmart's trolling me

Today, on the day TikTok is supposed to be banned, the tv on the bowling alley is playing TikTok videos.
