@annika oooo that's pretty bad. Dripping with insincerity and sure to be followed up with something they want from you.

Sometimes I think: "oh I shouldn't be prejudiced against our neighbors, maybe Vancouver, WA isn't so bad. Calling it Vantucky is a class insult that's not in line with my values."

But then I go there and yeah actually it's not a good place. White culture maga hats ++ very expensive asshole cars.

I don't like it when devlogs or project updates start with "hi everyone". You're not talking to a group of people, for the most part. A ghost of you is talking to one person at a time on their phone. It's like writing a letter. Making it plural creates a weird nonspecific distancing effect.

@clarity welp sounds like it's infohazard weather out now, time to log off before I learn what the cursed thing is.

added a fun little hologram distortion to the movement preview #LancerRPG

Saving $30 by buying the crappy thermos was a huge mistake. It leaked during my flight and may have destroyed my laptop. Pray for me.

@clarity I believe devs shouldn't do much for speed runners besides QOL like skippable cutscenes bc part of the point is going off the beaten track

@clarity no no modding is enrichment for them

New Lancer Tactics early access build is live! In this month's update I talk about navigating differences in artistic vision, UI layout balance, and communicating what the AI is doing ::

Some images from the update with no context:

I put some time into cooking a squash mushroom pasta lunch and used good ingredients and it was delicious. I wonder why I don't live like this all the time.

Talents go spinny too. This is my new favorite way to show a list of things.

@annika that's horrifying

I would like to put forward the phrase "keep the pasta in Italy" as shorthand for "some spaghetti code is fine as long as it's compartmentalized in a single domain".

mechs go spinny

@clarity LOVE

Bear with me; let's talk about the elephant in the room. I was a fly on the wall and a little birdie told me that there's a snake in the grass. She's been a busy little bee weaving her web of lies, but you don't have to have eagle eyes to see that chameleon jackass is crying crocodile tears.
It's bullshit! You can't swing a cat on mastodon about it without stirring up a hornet's nest in your mentions from monkeys on typewriters. She's outfoxed everyone.

Just got a notification from Kickstarter that somebody finally filled out their crescent loom reward survey that I sent out in **2016**. What are you expecting to happen here, my man.

Just had my first brush with compressing and decompressing data in game dev. It's... shocking sexy to see your json files go from 100kb to 12kb 😳

Before & after. Breathtaking.
