hey I'm a funny woman named alayna I draw stuff, make games, and weird noises also I'm so cool and asexual

every day I feel even more strongly about my plan to just. no longer have a phone at all once my current one becomes unusable. nothing about modern phones seems really appealing to me, and I barely use my phone for anything as-is, so once its kaput, that's it. no more phone

during my visit to oregon last week I noticed that like. absolutely every single gift shop type place there is now filled with banana slug merch. idk why that's suddenly a big thing apparently, banana slugs have always lived in oregon lol

when I go on a long road trip I bring my switch 2 and all my games and I'm like oh yeah I've got so many games to choose from I'm gonna play so much on the way what I always just end up playing: clubhouse games solitaire

I realized I have a very mattel-centric games wishlist at the moment because I'm currently really looking forward to that retro Barbie collection and hot wheels infinite rush lol

I'm currently working on two new game projects, not much to show yet buuuut one of them should be releasing later this year though so keep an eye out for stuff from that one soon!!

my method for learning new computer programs is to just dive right in and start poking around at everything, and then when I get stuck, I start looking stuff up

I recently finally went through the secret game stuff in deltarune chapter 3, all of which is a clear zelda pastiche, and one thing I keep thinking about is that the puzzle complete and item get jingles sound like the weird route and extended weird route jingles, respectively

I had a dream that deltarune chapter 6 started with running down roads in an abstract dark space collecting hearts and letters that spell out "gaster" while normal npc chases you (and he had a big head and stretchy neck) I felt it was a bit more on the nose than I'd expected chapter 6 to be

someone made a mural of charlie kirk in town and its remarkable how many ways he simply does not work as any kind of symbol or icon cause it took me awhile to even realize that's what it was I was like "why's there this huge elaborate painting of the most plain generic guy in a plain grey t-shirt??"

"having the voice clips on makes the flowery fight easier" I just blindly button mashed and never got hit by him ever what are you talking about

I don't get the appeal of vibe coding, I'm currently the programmer on a new game project and it's largely stuff I've never done before/a bit outside my wheelhouse and I'm having so much fun with it cause its so fun figuring out how to make it all work and I feel so proud about how well it's going

we were at a lil burger restaurant today and they had F1 racing on the TV and there was a lil girl who was super into it and jumping and saying "go go!" and making engine noises 🥺 every time I see a little girl enjoying race cars and such it warms my heart cause yknow. that was me once
