as a gamedev I get to do a lot of silly things

gosh I used to post a gamedev work in progress screenshots on social media nearly every single day, like some sort of show-n-tell, and now I never do. I still make games every day!!! but no longer need a pat on the back to stay motivated. Likes and shares and rando feedback feels unimportant now

HAPPY CANADA DAY! 🇨🇦 by far the most prosperous nation in north america almost no crime or racism hospitals help the poor polite friendly strangers no concentration camps more nature nicer weather better jobs way better education people are healthy and safe here Canada loves YOU

to anyone suffering who needs to hear this: happiness is waiting for you in the future. you don't have to change everything about yourself. or your life. TIME ITSELF will change things. all you have to do is SURVIVE. outlast the bad times. get to that future. a day full of joy awaits.

As storage and RAM prices skyrocket and make powerful PCs and consoles feel increasingly out of reach, there's only one real option: Everyone go back to 2D

Happy 30th birthday, Quake, you really are the Genghis Khan of video games

I'm optimistic all this optimism will help me

I'm positive all this positivity will heal me

I'm happy all this happiness will heal me

every day, even during rough times, I see my dreams coming true. many things I used to daydream about doing/achieving/creating, I got to do. So many bucketlist items checked off - all but the most unrealistic have been fulfilled. don't know why but today I feel grateful for the life I've had so far

dear LGBTQ+ individuals I accept you! I support you! I respect you!!!!!!!!

starting from an irl sketch and turning that into 32px is tricky! 🙂 (but fun)

🏎 sculpted a car in blender today while hanging out on a discord "co-working" video channel at devpods. co-working (parallel working) is kind of nice. keeps you focused, just having other humans around who are also working so you're not the center of attention

made this level today for a hand-painted godot project I'm working on that's one of those "rage games" inspired by sisyphus, with physics jank and long hills where can lose it all and watch the orb roll all the way back down... because people love to suffer agonizing defeat but eventually prevail
