I know. I KNOW that art and making stuff pretty is basically the last part of game design. Well. Not necessarily Last last, but near to it. but gosh does it feel lack luster to have nothing pretty going on when prototyping.
might need to go buy some reams of coloured paper just to pretend.

So just found out that Audible have silently removed six audiobooks from my library. Because I noticed, and complained, they gave six credits to buy them back again. They did this because the publishers updated the books and Audible just deleted the old versions.

After job hunting for a year and surviving countless “behavior assessments,” I made a simulation horror game about them.
Guess which question is from a real test I took.

Multiple times while watching I cringed enough for my sister to say "it's just a movie" and each time without fail I whispered back gleefully and sincerely "yeah i know" and I don't know that I have the skill to explain that I say this with the intent of high praise. #Anaconda
It's been so long since I saw a movie that was so unapologetic about its premise and delivery but Anaconda 2025 dir. Tom Gormican hits that note perfectly.
What's that old Mummy review? I cannot speak for the writing, directing, acting, or special effects, but I was entertained? That's the vibe.

98% of my mind and body: this little mental health walk is actually delightful, we should extend it by a couple of km

Millions of artworks on the internet easily aggregated by any ok search engine, not to mention hundreds of museum and library catalogues from across all world history, and that's just the free to access refs. But sure adding extra steps to make slop foundational to your game is the way forward 🙄

Trying to decide if I should post my current script in parts or just go all in with the more than an hour long video.

I can't tell if I think Alien³ was good or not. Might have to do some research to help figure out what's itching my brain about it.

Anyways it finally clicked mid-shift at my other job. A loaf of bread is 30 points. My brain can do tasks again.
I am endlessly fascinated at the way my brain will hold itself hostage refusing to do a creative task because it needs to know fake values to create fake values. Like, hate to have to tell me this me, but the task is to make up fake stuff to know.

You ever stare at a script edit so long that all of the words start to look fake not just the uncommon ones?

For the first day of #artadventcalendar, a ring-billed seagull catching a capelin.
This past year, I spent a lot of time staring at seabirds all around the world, discovering how they are more than just gulls but magic.
And quite entertaining when the fish roll in for spawning
