presenting what I've been working on with @katie.cat for the last ~year: GDPatch, a versatile Godot mod loader! we've built a mod loader for all Godot 4.x games with a focus on script patching and runtime hooking docs: gdpatch.dev code: github.com/GDPatch/GDPa... blog: notnite.com/blog/gdpatch
GDPatch: a versatile Godot mod loader
It only took 15 months for me to write another interesting blog post!

I'm sick and I keep having this dream where I sit next to Lenny from the Simpsons on a flight, and I go "Not Lenny!!" and then he gets upset because apparently everyone says that when they spot him in public
We posted a small update on account IDs and "character database" plugins: dalamud.dev/news/2026/07... Sadly, it still boils down to "this sucks, we sadly can't do anything about it". Will do my best to answer questions in replies.
An Update on Account IDs | Dalamud
Hello everyone. We’ve received a number of comments and concerns about a custom repository plugin that collects and tracks players via their Character IDs and Account IDs. In the past, we’ve published...

Something that is completely foreign to me but seems to be common for older people like my parents is that tech "breaks". Their original Google TV from 4 years ago became unusable (updates, ads? key presses took 20 seconds to react) and they just said it was "broken" and bought a newer one.
[REPOSTS APPRECIATED] Hi, I'm Khayle, a plugin developer for FFXIV (XIVCombo (Expanded), soon Chat Bubbles 2, & more!) I am again facing the risk of getting expelled from my appartment I need to gather a total of 3000€ by 31/07. I am still waiting for the approval of my disability social income.
Do NOT get the McSpritz Sakura × Sprite™ Limited Edition collab. It's not worth it
Time for the bimonthly "I closed VS because something broke, and it started auto-updating, and broke even further and now I have to restart my PC and roll back and and have it delete all my extensions and restart it again" maneuver
Happy pride! I'm gay and weird but I usually don't talk about it a lot. I love seeing other people getting to be gay and weird though, which is a little harder than it should be nowadays, so please support your local lgbt associations if you can, they need it!
This place doesn't have polls, but I would love to do an informal poll for plugin devs around churn. Is bumping your plugin once per major patch (4-5 months) too often for you and is it a big concern?
I think it doesn't matter whether or not the app is vibecoded or not at this point, all of the terminally bsky people get so butthurt about the rest of the site insinuating it and immediately go and block and subpost crying about it, there must be some latent insecurity floating around

RIP to my home-soldered SlimeVR trackers (since undergone lithium explosion and money subsequently poured into Kickstarter alternative that may or may not ship)

![Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreifdsd32pjwefxji33c5eferlek4o6kkadoosqisb5uatqjmrq4q4q)
Shipping programmable background blur for ImGui in Dalamud this week! It's controllable via a slider in the style editor, and has controls for grain noise, tint and luminosity adjustment (though those are not exposed yet, only for other devs)
This was fun! Turns out we weren't the only ones with this idea but I think we did a good job of it (even though it was pretty short notice again, oops)
NotNite@notnite.com · 4mo agohad the honor of working on Dalamud's "character verification" for April Fools (thanks @goatsdev.bsky.social). make sure to verify your characters today folks
