@brennanleemulligan.bsky.social My spouse and I found a book series at a thrift store called "Swordbird" by Nancy Yi Fan and when we read a passage with a woodpecker character tensing his tongue inside his skull someone in our house yelled "BLEEM NEEDS TO SEE THIS BOOK"

Garden harvest from the the last month, all that zucch turned into some pounds of zoodles

(1) At this point I am beginning to think that the antidote to American liberalism is to be blatantly anti-celebrity.
Not in a conspiratorial "they all eat babies" way, but we need to stand up directly against Great Man Theory that drives western politics.

I would like to extend a formal apology to everyone who at one point or another wanted to use mods for games I made only to be disappointed that I abandoned the entire community a couple months later to work on a new project.

It happened! A neighbor offered to let me pick up tomato plants for my garden! Totally out of the blue and unexpected.

Now I swallow my pride and admit ✨my✨ tomatoes are sad and anemic 😭

The ADHD "Productivity Hack" loop:

0. A repeat task is giving me trouble
1. Find a snappy and cute way to track it for ✨efficiency✨
2. 1st Week: My life is going to be so much easier!
3. 2-3 Weeks: Task has evolved. Now I need to fix my fix.
4. GOTO 0

Did Corey booker say anything about the US back genocide of Palestinians in his 25 hour speech ?
Honest question .

All your immigrant great-great-grandparents who came here "the right way" would be deported in this decade, because they definitely didn't come here under the intentionally obtuse and impossible circumstances of today.

So for the past two weeks I've been enmeshed in crafting the perfect modded server to play Minecraft with my kids. Now I'm back to coding and my New Years Resolution is to tidy up and "proffessionalize" my coding practices. Just got done making a quick and dirty colored console debug lib for Löve.

That moment when you scale up all your assets to switch to a new fixed resolution and all your hastily put together magic numbers come back to haunt you

Quick update as to my projects list and why I'm already appearing inactive again:
- Therapy
- Setting up a local Minecraft LAN for my kids
- Modding for Open Starbound (slow process)
- Making the pause menu in Outer Pixels

I just released my first ever game! 🥳
It's a colorful puzzle game about size-changing blobs. Use the curious properties of their bodies to solve various levels.
Originally made during @gamemakerstoolkit.com's game jam, and huge thanks to @kenney.bsky.social for their assets. ✨
