Blick video editor first impressions: It's not laggy as Hell for no reason and buttons work when you click em, so it's already outpacing most editors I've used.
"contribute data so we can offer more AI stuff" the dream they are selling here, to generate and manage tickets more "efficiently" to get better uh business outcomes or whatever, is a dream that can be solved by just not having worst-in-class UI -- AI does not need to come into this??
Just a small cover of Castle In The Sky's main theme Kinda new to posting chiptune covers, so I hope the recording's okay. #chiptune #famitracker #8bit #ghibli

oh man, Pikmin^2 just got a huge update!!! i've been playing that romhack a lot lately _anyway_! i might have to stream some of the new version with Louie's campaign randomized
been having a rough time lately and rewatched Bigtop Burger this morning. it's a nice reminder that a lot of negativity in the world comes from the obedience of normal people, whether out of fear or the promise of rewards. sometimes one person saying "NO!" can make a big difference.

Ducky Sokoban DX has over 500 browser plays as of this morning! That's really encouraging because it isn't a jam entry and AFAICT hasn't been featured or anything, people just organically like it. So uh... Thanks! 🥹
i made some Safari profiles ages ago for different tasks, right? but i hadn't used any of em in a while. i go "make a new Foo window" and Safari opens a window with 1479 tabs of random URLs from over _years_, and then when I close the window it eats all my RAM and disk space and I have to kill it.
finally got around to trying Acorn 8 for drawing - it takes getting used to, but it's not the worst. did a page of messy mario sketches in it
got an email about Acorn 8 having a new brush engine so i tried it out. it is now the most _buttery smooth_ brush engine i've ever used. i may try doing some digital art in Acorn and see how it goes
currently setting about making myself a project template that covers all my typical bases: a basic window and input setup, asset manifests and loading, live coding, savestates (state snapshots), gameplay recording and replay (snapshots + input buffer), and a packager script for distribution.
my weight has been basically the same for ~6 months, but my thighs keep taking up more space :') and now my computer chair digs into them and i have cellulite from the corners of the chair arms causing local ischemia.

@dingdongvg.bsky.social have you guys ever played Rocket: Robot on Wheels? It’s an N64 platformer from late in the console’s lifecycle and it’s pretty neat.
i wish Discord had a function like "show me all the servers i've joined but have never actually participated in"
whenever i have time, i have big plans for a Ducky Sokoban DX update that will make the game customizable... mostly because there are a bunch of skins i want to make for it, myself '^^ because then i could do chill pixel art streams while i work on them!
if my life circumstances are ever such that i feel like i will be looked after by another person, and i really believe it, the sudden relief will crash down on me like a tsunami and leave nothing behind.
