Man remember when new phone releases were crazy leaps forward every year? Like holy shit we went from a 480p to 720p screen AND 2x the ram AND 4x the CPU core from the Samsung S1 to the S3. Meanwhile my s21 from 5 years ago has 8gb of ram vs the 12 on the s26, and practically the same 1080p screen
I reallllly want to make a VN for a certain yuri VN jam next year. Hmmmm
Ughh I'm so rusty with drawing people and rendering I need to do more studies and not just draw pixel art all day lmfao
I'm gonna be onboarding and managing 2 co-ops (one has already started!) and I'm nervous lol
If they ended up decimating id Software's tech team then I have no faith in anything they'll ever do again under the current leadership. Between last week and today's news...I just don't know what to say at this point.
Gonna change the resolution of my game from 640x360 to 320x240 because it's taking too long to get the art done lol. Old(very old) sprites for Priscilla and Yulica vs new ones from yesterday.
I cut my bangs WAY too short a week before a work event ahhhhh I'm so cooked
Deltarune having a reference to HDG might be the most insane thing in chapter 5, I gotta be real
I am gonna go feral I am gonna lose it that last deltarune chapter gave me everything I ever needed holy fucking shit
I do think that people need to realize that the EXTREME vitriol against theories that say "X character is transfem" are rooted in maintaining hierarchy ESPECIALLY when it's presented in a "men are allowed to just be feminine, stop forcing gender stereotypes on them" kinda way
I need transfem!Ralsei to be real please Toby my life depends on it
I am 29 now (well, as of yesterday lol)! I am so grateful to be surrounded by so so many wonderful and loving people. When I was entering my 20s, I didn't think I'd ever be happy again, and god am I glad to be proven so completely wrong.
I definitely need like, a voice training partner, so we can force each other to actually practice ugh
The pitch that genAI "lowers the barriers of entry" is a cover for extreme elitism. They only want access to other people's skills bc they have such a limited definition of what art even is- they don't see creative processes, they see "art" as the finished thing only and that's all they want.
Does anyone have any tips when *you're* the interviewer? Asking for a friend
So for this Juneteenth, I went back and updated my feature on the need to incorporate more Blackness into your gaming perspective, more relevant now than when I wrote it years ago. Check it out on @pcmag.com www.pcmag.com/opinions/cel...

Man the thing I'm most sad over recently is not being able to do my wolf cosplay for a work thing coming up soon because things have been so busy
Opened the door to some door to door charity guys, and they asked me where my parents were. And if I was in high school. Why does this keep happening.
Found another discord for writers and narrative designers in games. Yay! Got accepted into it but found out that it's essentially completely dead. Bummer!
