What do you need on Sunday, 14:00 EST? More Irene Iddesleigh. I feel like I'm doing glossolalia for two hours, but listeners attest there's words and grammar, just not meaning. 14:00 EST. twitch.tv/fdejeuner

Soooo the missus pointed out these bsky boys have a leaflet thing now. It feels like they're trying to do a Substack but without the nazis (I hope). And so whatever rambles I've been posting on Steam will also show up there, plus other related gaming, etc. things. voyageurs.leaflet.pub

An article on CBC was handwringing about the horrors of selling e-scooters that could go over 50 km/hr. And then, breathlessly, mentioning some could do 120. I sat bolt upright and annoyed the missus with my sudden enthusiasm for e-scooters. Now I need to book time at Mosport...
You have no idea how bad this novel was. So I will try and help. I read this. I read this bit, and many others like it. What on earth is going on?
Irene Iddesleigh? The worst novel ever? In two hours. (14:00 EST) Though before we hit that, we've got one last chapter of the previous book to do. twitch.tv/fdejeuner
Right now, between other bouts of irresponsibility, I've been messing with OFFBEAT. It's turned a music sequencer into a game, insofar as "make some music that meets these objectives, if you feel like it," is a game. I guess it's more educational.
This Sunday (14:00 EST) I'm starting to read what is the worst novel to see print. I don't write that lightly. This book did damage to JRR Tolkein. It's "Irene Iddesleigh." I've tried three times previously to orate my way through it. This Sunday will be the fourth. Help! twitch.tv/fdejeuner
We're all brilliant and if you like Actual Plays, this is where I first heard of the concept. Well, I have a modest role as an arena hypeman. HNNG THOSE MOVES! ao.kalimonster.net/unprompted

I've been pushing my voice stuff a little more, because, you know, I'd like to do more of it. So if you've got an interesting project that needs some Canadian spiciness, I'm your man. DMs are open. We can work something out. There's random clips at ao.kalimonster.net/unprompted

Has anybody complained about gmail randomly stripping periods out of things? Like names, or email addresses, or any place where the period actually belongs? Asking for a me because I kind of need those things to be there.

I just wanted to tell you, and all my shareholders, that I am currently drawing in over a trillion dollars of revenue clean. Supposing you ignore a lack of some sources of income.

I didn't work half as hard as the engine folk, and I felt like I worked hard. But we got sooooounds, and they were engineered, I tell you what. (And there's some of my voice samples in there too, but I won't say where.)

A few friendly suggestions to people sending in clips: 1: Drink only water, if you've had coffee or anything thicker, you get saliva snaps in your audio which are really hard to work around.
If all in for the the voice thing @angeloslh.bsky.social mentioned, I'm looking for a handful of quick samples. It's a few lines, it's for a gamejam and there's no money in it for any of us. Hit me up here, I'll DM you later in the day with particulars.
*exhausted 5 hours sleep sigh* Alright we might be looking for some pervert noises We have someone but yknow, the fun is random peoples takes I aint gonna get on this til tomorrow because I'm so tired I can't think straight but if youre interested poke me I guess cries
Our game jam idea is very stupid and also somehow also basically just Onlycans again lol
Apparently I am collecting an international team of random game dev skills for this one, come on down, we're gonna make Skyrim 2 in 48 hours ( We don't have a prompt yet it won't be Skyrim 2...unless )
It's the bad jam! As per usual I don't have a team, like not one where another person is making code while I do art things ( I usually reach out to people for help when I get stuck ) so that's still open if people want to join - that might make the game less bad tho lol itch.io/jam/bad-jam-4
I didn't want to turn your bio into a rambling discussion of craft brewing, @lilylachance.com but I was referring to this thing: www.restomontreal.ca/event/mondia... There's ciders! I'm not much for drinking but I like a cold one on occasion and it's two hours away by train.

I had a great time with the Wanderburg demo, and now I have the completed game in my grubby mitts. Your castle better have wheels 'cos mine does, and a turbo besides. (Also changing my schedule a trifle, we're 20:00 to 22:00 EST now.) www.twitch.tv/fdejeuner
Lurking under covers last night, summarizing the SNOTEL system to the missus. Specifically how these devices in remote mountaintops could communicate by detecting a reflected RF signal (because a meteor was burning up in the atmosphere) and, thereby, transmitting its own signal to base station.
And separately, in my Sunday sessions on Twitch, we're one week or so away from starting on a novel that's been my nemesis, a book that I've tried to read three times and never finished: IRENE IDDESLEIGH. Fourth time's a charm? Can I finally finish it?
I do have to say, thanks in part to a conversation with Gleech, I did work out a little side-project I'm pleased with and mean to get it rolling in maybe a month. Mostly when the missus and I can both be in this room without noisy fans.
The very gates of hell have opened, and I have seen the face of our doom. KD Ramen. It is KD Ramen. So now with your salty noodles you can get weird orange deathpowder.
I noticed Reddit has a caption feature now. I also noticed whatever software they're using for it, I think it needs more than a little tuning.
