No updates for a while cuz my girl's been in the hospital for over two weeks now for a horrible asthma attack. Worst asthma I've ever seen and it's the second time in 2 years it's happened. And it was my birthday yesterday so I just miss her. She's looking better, now, though!

More progress. Our ant soldier buddy is more or less fully modeled out with hands and a head and everything. Next up, a gun, then decals, then a nice rig And then I can ✨animate✨, which is my favorite part! Still just matcaps and vertex color shading so far

A mechanical humanoid ant soldier t-poses to establish dominance.A mechanical ant soldier in a german-styled spiked soldier's helmet. He's got a pink visor under his helmet, behind his giant mandibles.One of the nicest pairs of lowpoly hands I have ever modeled.

And now that that's over, I'm back working on Endless Aether Starfall. Gotta re-acclimate myself to what the hell I was doing last, lol. Good thing I take great notes! If there's any wisdom I can give, it's to write good notes after each dev sesh! And maybe write more to a commit than 'update'

And no, I absolutely love how every fuckin search engine has integrated AI fuckin tools to give me the same dumb ass answer except for the fuckin default fuckin answer from Unity's own manual. GodDAMMIT!! Fuckin screamin into the void here, these fuckin idiot-ass companies dont even use this site!

Downloaded the new Godot update. Still crashing on file rename for me. Deleted the new update. Happy it's making strides but I really wish for a stability update. Switching to a UID system was, for me, the best thing to happen to it in terms of usability. Can't wait for the updates in 5.x!

On the way to white-boxing this support tank enemy! I need em to basically attack and heal. It's nice that I don't have to write much more logic. Just gotta make this thing heal it's allies.

Aww SHUCKS!! The limitations of my abilities, back again to bite me in the ass. This time, it's Blender. Tried to use the Rigify samples to make a rig for that ugly lil' guy from yesterday, and I was worried cuz it didn't export with a 'root' bone. Let's see if...I can bs my way outta this

Humanity and kindness won out over ego and white supremacy, but also, damn, that last one got that kid thinking I didn't know how exploitation and extortion didn't work in the AMERICAN RAP INDUSTRY or how select cultural exports dictate how the world sees us. Diabolical.

Like, bro, it's the internet, I'm not at work, it's Sunday. If he wanna go down this road... But I talked to him with grace and kindness let's see if it'll break through the barrier of the internet and warm this mother fucker's heart. Y'all pray for this kid

Some dude trying to explain how 'white Europeans got fed the rap music the US government allowed to export and how it's ok for them to say nigga in music' and he picked the wrong one today

Welp, that was a massive fuckin disappointment of a showcase for me, personally. No Persona 6 gameplay? No Blade (which at this point has to be a 'next-gen' game)!? I feel personally attacked! Joking, of course, but only halfway. Woulda loved to see anything about Blade, but Fable was cool.

OMG! I've long had anxiety about this project, since it felt like an unending slog of building and refining systems. But recently I've been playtesting and I feel like it's all coming together. Who knew the benefits of playtesting would include easing anxiety!? I didn't, haha!!

Cooking, even when it's just for myself, puts me in the headspace of being back in the kitchen, yelling for hands, dealing with the heat, everything except trying not to elbow my co-line in the face. I do NOT miss those days
