I'm officially screwed: I gotta come up with $1800 ($1300 if I want it at least removed from sale) to deal with my homeowner's taxes by August 14th or I lose my last home. I keep doing SOMETHING to try to help my family at times, and I still lose.
People are mad at Glitch for having Gameoverse merch? Why??? Do people not realize that cartoons used to basically be toy ads because that's primarily how cartoons have always been funded, so much so that cartoons would be cancelled for their anticipated or actual lack of ability to sell toys?
Work on inventory stuff in the game today. Items display name tags, and other systems can open the inventory to make the player pick an item. ...but like, I'm still absurdly proud of the stupid corner-correction thing I did last weekend? Literally still riding that high.
I have finally unlocked the secret to The Perfect Chocolate Chip cookie: bread flour.
Received this gorgeous commission from @dynamo-deepblue.bsky.social. Phenomenal work, and super fast turnaround time. Thanks a lot!
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Wasted multiple hours today trying to solve a calendar sync issue on Android that, ultimately, came down to the Gmail app (which I don't even use) having received an update that broke syncing for Exchange-based calendars. Thanks Google! Stellar design, there. (It's also been broken for 3 weeks now.)
Saw that www.wanderinginn.com updated their website layout, so had to do a quick update of my extension that adds a better scroll progress bar and some basic syncing features: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

Hell yeah. My game has a silent protagonist, so all their characterization has to come from other characters and narration. And you get to invent lots of little characters with fun little stories that live in your head!
"i hate writing NPC dialogue i don't wanna do it i need bobot to do it for me buhhhhh" you are like a little baby
Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Silksong's good. Picked it up, played for about an hour. It's Hollow Knight, Again, which is pretty much what I wanted.

Trying my hand at a tiny game. It's much more narrowly-scoped than my last one, so it may actually get done. ...maybe. Anyway, things can now deal and receive damage. But there's no concept of health, or even damage numbers, yet. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames
