“If you block them, they win” actually I win because I don't have to see or interact with them anymore. I don't care how they feel about it actually.

30's enby just trying to make it through life. I will repost NSFW stuff, be warned. I'll talk about rambly topics but main focus is game dev, music, writing, and woodwork.
I'm just standing like i might need to apologise to the floor
they were really cooking when they invented cuddling
grand designs is great tv because, yes, everyone is disgustingly rich. but at least they're on the verge of a nervous breakdown
Tech bros identifying as “transhumanist” whilst simultaneously being extremely transphobic is ridiculous 🤪 “Your body is equipment to be modified at will, but you have to stick to an Abrahamic gender binary because reasons”

yeh no... there's a difference between "we have a release and we're gonna need people to come in overnight" vs "we don't know how to plan so say goodbye to your social life". Crunch is physically and mentally damaging and should be banished from the industry. No amount of money or shares solves that

Progress for the #gbjam14 game jam. Need to work out why you don't die immediately in the pit of spikes, needs enemies to fight, a game over/reset screen but progress.
One of these days... one of these fucking days.... im going to learn to scope small with my game jams. Trying to make a small version of spelunky in 10 days will be the death of me.
The original version of this was posted on my FAisDM (felicitousArtisan is Darth Mongoose) Tumblr many years ago. I drew it at about 11pm right before going to bed, trying to express something I felt about art. When I woke up it kinda blew up.
Its time for another game jam! This time I'm joining the GBJam. 10 days to make a gameboy game with the the theme being old gold. Wish me luck #gbjam14
Content warning: pet loss. Despite my last post being happy, i am not. It's been just over a month since we lost our boy Andromeda and it hurts. Especially when i hear a sound that sounds like his meows. Every time i have to stop and pause. I know he's gone but I'd give everything for him to be back
Happy thursday, what are game dev folks up to? Today i am writing some high level system design docs. A job i enjoy and know that helps immensely when actually making the thing.
Another large humpback sculpture - this time in a more whimsical colour scheme I've wanted to try for a while! Handmade from coarse paper mache, painted with acrylics, mounted on a wood & metal stand.

![Painting: Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" (1943), oil on canvas — a lean young workman in a suede jacket and blue plaid shirt stands to speak at a town meeting, chin raised, while seated older men in suits and ties look up at him; a folded blue booklet juts from his pocket. Signed top right "NORMAN ROCKWELL"; the blue pamphlet held at bottom centre reads "ANNUAL REPORT of the TOWN of [MONT]", i.e. a Vermont town report.
The picture starts with FDR’s January 1941 State of the Union, which named four freedoms worth fighting for. Rockwell wanted to illustrate them but could not find a handle on the abstraction until he attended a town meeting in Arlington, Vermont, where a neighbour — Jim Edgerton — stood and argued against a new school building that everyone else wanted. The others heard him out. That was the picture.
He used Arlington neighbours as models. The standing man is Carl Hess, a local garage owner. Rockwell put himself at the far left edge. He repainted the canvas four times, fighting the composition; the final solution was to drop the viewer’s eye below the speaker, so we look up at him along with the crowd, and to leave the background empty and dark so nothing competes.
The Office of War Information turned Rockwell down when he offered the series. The Saturday Evening Post ran them instead, one a week from 20 February 1943, each paired with an essay. The Treasury then reversed the government’s position and built the Second War Loan Drive around the paintings: a sixteen-city touring show that drew over a million visitors and sold on the order of $130 million in bonds. Millions of poster reprints followed.
Everyone in that room is white and the scene is a New England idyll, at a moment when Black Americans were running the Double V campaign against fascism abroad and segregation at home. Later artists — Hank Willis Thomas and Emily Shur’s 2018 restaging among them — have reshot the series precisely to widen who gets to stand up.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:huocg7zsbthk54vjai56wd27/bafkreiclxzc7bbno6rokdv56ni56pxwwfvbzl4lueiitwceqps65p2jmb4)
Trying to inject some whimsy into my house because this year has been shite. Very work in progress.
Damn.. Dolly Parton and Tim Curry in the same week. Rest in peace to both of them.
okay gang. I know a lot of you have concerns. I’ve heard whispers of a trap, even an ambush. and I get it. these are difficult times. even *I’m* nervous. but guys. if we put all that worry aside, and we take this chance, and it pays off… we get a free wooden horse.
