olive (jovialthunder@xoxo.zone)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Jun-2024 04:29:46 JST olive I just biked to the post office! By myself! I had fear but I was able to push my comfort zone and managed to overcome the snag of having forgotten my phone for directions; handily, since I'm using my PO box for the return address, I had a backpack full of letters with my destinations exact street address written on them 😄

olive (jovialthunder@xoxo.zone)'s status on Sunday, 02-Jun-2024 10:37:58 JST olive Just swung by the Powell's warehouse sale. 5000 people were there by 10:00 and the building capacity was 400. We got there at 3 and the folks at the front of the line had been there since 11.
Luckily the NW Marine Art Works studio was having an open house and it was room after room of gorgeous creative styles. Some humans make art like birds make nests or beavers build dams.

olive (jovialthunder@xoxo.zone)'s status on Saturday, 01-Jun-2024 06:59:32 JST olive The first public Lancer alpha is imminent! Our alpha release plan: today we'll do a small windows-only release in the PilotNET thread for the people who have been following closely, let it bake over the weekend as this small group plays it and reports bugs, and then do a round of fixes before sending an updated alpha out to Kickstarter backers early next week.

olive (jovialthunder@xoxo.zone)'s status on Friday, 24-May-2024 11:51:41 JST olive Ugh, I upgraded my macbook to Sonoma for work and now Godot has a new crop of impossible-to-remedy-from-where-I'm-standing errors. The week I was hoping to get an alpha out. I feel sick.
(natural FPS has dropped from 120 to sub-60, entire game feels slower, emitting particles & using shaders lags the game something awful)

olive (jovialthunder@xoxo.zone)'s status on Thursday, 16-May-2024 08:00:16 JST olive @clarity Some do require more game-view machinery in place (anything that requires a virtual player choice, for example) and you can actually see the game playing through those as the suite runs.

olive (jovialthunder@xoxo.zone)'s status on Thursday, 16-May-2024 07:28:36 JST olive @clarity yeah the frontend/ui ones are definitely the most finicky and fragile (tho one of them was what saved me in this case) but since the game's turn-based and I've done such a gold-star job keeping most of the action in mostly-functional methods, the bulk of the most helpful tests are pretty straightforward runs of game logic like this.
I'd love to give you a in person tour sometime and hear your thoughts!

PoR: "I realize you probably already know this."
PoR: <goes on to mansplain the business case for adding multiplayer>
PoR: "I can go into more detail, but you probably don't need more advice. Even [if] this is unwanted, of course, but I felt compelled You sound like relatively new developers, and this is often a paint yourself into a corner issue."Incredible. They can't help themselves, even when they see what they're doing.

olive (jovialthunder@xoxo.zone)'s status on Thursday, 14-Mar-2024 01:03:39 JST olive Got an hand-written individualized email this week earnestly asking if I wanted to be part of a project that, and I am not exaggerating, would unironically:
- use crypto
- representing carbon credits
- that would disrupt an industry
- through gamificationThat would be a goddamn jackpot techbizbro bingo by itself, but they were also offering to pay in crypto or equity. I felt like I was being pranked, it was like a caricature.

olive (jovialthunder@xoxo.zone)'s status on Thursday, 05-Oct-2023 15:46:01 JST olive this #twitter rate limit is beyond absurd. by paying them $100/mo, you can ask them for tweets... 15 times every 15 minutes.
better hope you're caching the hell out of those, because that's simply not a connection you can rely on for a production app that consumes this API
