Spent some time rewiring my setup today for the monitor arms I got recently, longer DP & HDMI cables so I can actually use the cable routing on the arms, ordered in some power cord extensions to do the same.

Also, picked up a mic arm- feels way nicer to use than I thought it would :D

Yeah I saw this style around like ~2014. Kinda loved those things though, a few teachers let us calibrate them if we were tall/good at it, random QTE style.

Did once come back after holidays to find a classroom window broken- took us a few minutes to realise that smart board was entirely gone lmao.

Love good ol 3D Pipes, you can still download it and I still use it today. Was the first thing I did when I last changed around my PC!

Just came out of a 48hr game jam over the weekend for GGJ 2025!

Had a blast with the team I was in making PorcuRoll! for the theme ‘Bubble’.

Hell I just miss when games came with an instruction manual that wasn’t only three pages of plain text, a picture of your console’s controller and a legal disclaimer about epilepsy.

Back on Godot and slowly trying to figure out the equivalent of a Unity spring joint. No matter. I only look forward to being able to bring back my absolute favourite free-temp-art-stand-in-model, the best boi, Banjofrog :D

Definitely check out the game dev feed if you haven’t already! (and the ever expanding web of “I have a joke about game development” quote posts haha)

honestly there’s a few I’ve neglected that should be up in here too

I’ve been using the basic bsky one, that’s always been most recent first as far as I’ve seen

A quick best-of for screenshots

As someone who grew up with and still has an N64, seeing the Analogue 3D fully announced has fulfilled some childhood dream I didn’t know I had, it’s wonderful for games preservation too and I genuinely hope tech like this stays around for a long time

Loving the customisable feeds so far, it’s great for hopping around between different topics and crowds

Or- one more for the road, a cinematic render of an arid environment I did while learning UE5 when it first came out.

And finally a fantasy wagon I drew for a friend last year while breaking in a cheap Wacom tablet I picked up! Still very proud of how it turned out. I’d like to get back to some more sketching and art next year

And of course the shot from my banner I forgot to upload.

Probably the early work I’m most proud of, some shots of my 2nd year major student team project Vibe City.

Wonderful jet set radio inspired online multiplayer game- it’s up on itch and still functional as far as I know!

A few screenshots from the last game jam I did, Slam Jam 3, and our team’s game Dimmer Demons

Bit of messing around I did with music earlier this year, always loved N64/PS2 music, especially the Pilotwings64 and GT3 A-Spec soundtracks. Hope to pick this up again before the year is out.
