My #LastFourWatched

With a reservation for Predator: Badlands this afternoon since being unemployed means I get to see movies in the daytime

I know you said not to, but I’m curious if the coolness lets this one slip through the rudeness filter

Middle Aged Gay Tiger Beat Update:

In retrospect it’s silly that it took me so long to come out, because even as a kid I could tell I already had A Type and a crush on Richard Masur, even as a head in a refrigerator.

And now, apparently, he’s the pony-tailed guy in his 70s that I aspire to be.

Anyway, today I drew a foot locker opening and closing because after all this time with this game, I realized there weren't enough hiding spots on the right side of the room.

Are the angles and scale all wrong? Obviously! But I am in my mid-50s and have earned the right to say "artistic license."

Yesterday I splurged on the piranha plant camera for the switch 2 while I was buying something I actually needed.

This one just doesn’t work, which is a relief since reading reviews make me think I would’ve wanted to return it anyway. Poor video quality, hard to aim, and no games use the camera.

You've found a bug in your #playdate game! Do you:

a) Devote all your time and energy to methodically researching the bug and coming up with a robust solution, or

b) Work on something unrelated and hope the solution just magically comes to you while you're doing it

Last night at the Haunted Hayride, I was initially tempted to get this shirt, but it has too much of a Midjourney/genAI vibe to it.

One of the things I especially hate about gen AI is that the aesthetic it blasphemes is one that I happen to like a lot.

This week on my #playdate game has been all about menus! Exactly the kind of exciting stuff that the people yearn to see.

My experience with playdate dev:
Implementing an entirely new feature - around 2-3 hours
Slightly reworking the UI flow - at least a week

To take a break from fixing bugs I worked on some launch animation for my #playdate game. It needs clean-up and plus-up, but you know what they say: make it exist first, you can make it look janky and amateurish later.

I made cookies for the special occasion of I wanted cookies.

These are good but I think it’s time to try a different recipe.

Spotted in the Universal Studios gift shop: a King Kong plush with his own plush of the tram car which he loves

A few more perfect endings because why not

Define “perfect ending”

Trying to keep up with Spooktober 2025 and barely staying afloat (all are on my blog if you’re in the mood to read my thoughts on em)

At least once every couple months I get newly annoyed by the snobbery of the video to "Nothing But Flowers" by Talking Heads.

On top of all the trite factoids about capitalism and environmentalism, there's this shitty, condescending bit mocking people for being moved to tears by a greeting card.

Repost with your favorite Halloween costume.

The last time and only time I put any effort into a costume, when I was Smee for an event at Telltale.

Oculus made me wonder whether what I was watching was real, including “Do I actually have a crush on Rory Cochrane, or am I just imagining Ron Livingston as a bear dude?”

In addition to being World’s Best Cat, Pazuzu also does impressions. Here he is as the flag of Japan.

I choose Apple Jacks because their attitude towards health and nutrition aligns so closely with my own.

Glad to see Kellogg’s staying true to the philosophies of its founder.

Okay but also I shouldn’t turn into this guy when I see something that doesn’t matter in the slightest

Results of Personas with the latest Vision Pro (beta) update. Slightly less horrifying, but much like a game industry recruiter, it gets one look at a white beard and says “nope.”

It won’t let me open my mouth, so it looks like I’m biting my tongue about how weird and bad it is.
