Feeling really self-conscious about today's review. IDK why, I don't really get that way about these because they're for me. Maybe I wrote something that isn't me enough, or maybe I'm just caring too much about what other people think of it. I might not make it a video. IDK.
Alright, the written review for Tokyo NECRO is up! It's a longer review than I normally do because there was a lot to talk about. Video will be up whenever I finish recording voiceover and clean up the editing! pell.quest/reviews/toky...
Tokyo NECRO Review - PELLQUEST
Time can heal all wounds, even those of the heart. And indeed, even a lie may one day become the truth. The past is a long shadow stretching behind us. And we can never escape it. Only carry it with u...

Gonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.

Also I guess I could be more clear and say: I don't use AI in literally anything, despite having a certification. It's not useful, it's not creative, and I don't like stealing from people. Any review I wrote with generative AI would not be my review. Any game I made with AI would not be my game.
So many people are worried about their writing being assumed to be AI and I am very thankful to not have to worry about that because if someone assumes my writing is AI they're fucking stupid and I don't think their opinion on anything is particularly valuable.

And a big "well done" to all of you who explained a joke back to the writer on Bluesky today. You did great! You're so clever, this Bluesky Mommy is soooo proud of you, you lil trooper.
I am autistic, and every year for my birthday I like doing something where I go out of my comfort zone in terms of food. I didn't get to do that yesterday, because the place I'd planned to go was closed. Today, they weren't! I got this TMNT ass pizza and it was... fine? It's got peaches on it!
Our full suite of sample projects have now been replicated in Godot GDscript, we're unifying how command and function registration happens in Unity, we've added loads of utilities to the VSCode graph view, and more! 🎉🎉🎉 Also, a lil' something for those caught by the recent industry layoffs.

Tokyo Necro review and script is done, just need to record. Hoping to have the video out by Wednesday, Thursday at latest. Really don't wanna take time away from @sovereigntower.bsky.social once it drops so I get a solid review, and more importantly enjoy myself.

also what the actual shit is with all of these losers naming their fascism-enabling-machine companies after shit from lord of the rings? and by that i mean, can they not be sued for that?

Today is Pell Day, and with it I am 32. It's been a ride. Still unemployed, still creating, and still surviving. Love you all.
Salt, Spit and Silver is a lore-first zine of tables that enriches the six core classes of MÖRK BORG (and Feretory's Forlorn Philosopher), grounding them in the Dying World's soil. Made to facilitate campaigns and roleplay. A little less gonzo, a lot more depressing. jnohr.itch.io/salt-spit-an...

Need full-time journalism job and/or freelance work; so if any folks can aid—have a massive/diverse portfolio with excellent/unique coverage. Hundreds of millions of people have read/used my work. Recently had to pay $3000+ for my dog’s life-threatening Addison crisis bills. Any work aid, please.
Sorry I'm taking a tiny hiatus from social media, things are really rough around the Pell house. I'm gonna be working on the review and video for Tokyo Necro in the background, but I don't need any extra doom in my life right now.
I really love adding blinking animations to CGs. It's one of my favorite traits in PC-98 games specifically. #gamedev #ifyoustay #pc98 #ドット絵
Meds are fucky rn. Can't sleep. I'm too awake. But also I can't write because I am too self-conscious because I am so energetic. It's maddening. Plus I have a headache. AAAA
