For the goofs, for the gaffs, for the memes!

Hell yeah dude!

The Codex follows the Codex.

I'm seeking a pattern
Inside a theory about patterns
To confirm the reality of patterns
So I can continue the pattern.

I am the observer and the observed.

You can lead a man to water, but it doesn't mean he knows how to fish.

Hooray?

Me: slowly realizing I'm officially a scientist and researcher now...

I've just published a framework identifying six universal laws—Relation, Cause, Effect, Feedback, Recursion, and Continuity—governing all systemic phenomena—physics to civilization.

My first work. Independent research. Open access. zenodo.org/records/1749... #philosophy #systemstheory #research

The biggest success of Tech companies is convincing everyone, including those who hate it, that an LLM (Large Language Model) is "AI" in the first place.

By saying 'I hate AI!' you've still fallen for the trap, because they still got you to call it "AI".

That distinction is half the battle.

The brain is beginning to function again. I think I'll continue development in full swing this weekend.

Got hit with creative burnout. Haven’t made much progress this week — my brain’s been fried with migraines all week. Been resting, and it’s slowly improving. It’s like a car that used to be totally dead — no lights, no response. Now it turns over, sputters, and stalls again. #ProjectNewDawn #gamedev

Squashed a few bugs! Hoping to jump back into full dev mode this weekend.

I was going to give a serious response, but since no one else is, never mind.

Doesn’t mean it’s good—it just means Pokémon fans have no standards, which isn’t exactly breaking news. Enjoy your mediocrity, loyal defenders of a 150 billion dollar franchise. 🫡

Good news? This market is evolving fast—year after year, we’re seeing major improvements. Don’t feel FOMO; there’ll be something next year at the same price that’s even better, and the cycle will keep going.

The longer you wait, the more you’ll get for your money.

You don’t have to think it’s fair, like the price, or buy it—but it’s within the current market reality. That’s just how things are right now. This isn’t aimed at the average consumer anyway; it’s targeting enthusiasts.

It was always going to be pricier than the regular ROG Ally X ($799). Back then, only ASUS needed to get paid. Now that Xbox/Microsoft is involved, they’re taking a cut too — so $999 is completely realistic, and honestly, it could’ve been even higher.

I’ve been following the talk around the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X handheld and wanted to throw in my two cents.

In my view, $1,000 is a fair price for a PC — but an awful price for an Xbox. That distinction matters and explains most of the shock.

3K posts on Bluesky! 😅 My most active account ever — guess I’ve officially moved in for good. 💙 #Bluesky #bsky #Social #indiedev

In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing snippets of the combat system featured in the demo. It’ll serve as the foundation for the full game’s combat system, which will expand on it in exciting new ways.

#ProjectNewDawn 🌅 #gamedev #indiegame

Announcement: The combat system in the upcoming demo will feature a classic turn-based setup with statuses, strengths, & weaknesses.

The full game, however, is planned to use a CTB (Conditional Turn-Based) system—with some unique twists that I'll share later!

Been budgeting hard lately—crunching numbers, cutting costs, and questioning every life choice along the way. Turns out being an adult is just advanced math and mild suffering. I’ve had enough migraines to know I’m doing something right. 😅💸

Gorgeous works! Love the first one's color palette! So light and shimmery! Very pretty!

That's where I plan to eventually publish an early demo build of my game as well!

An illustration of my OC, Sakura. She is creating a dream, which creates a fantasy like scene. There are goldfish and sakura around her. There is magical lighting emanating from the glass dip pen. A serene scene, showing how Sakura creates dreams from art and beauty. This piece was done in shimmering pink ink, lavender ink, marker and coloured pencil.

Some fountain pen sketches of my OC Sakura. She is in various poses and expressions. Various coloured inks were used in this piece.

An illustration of my OC, Charlotte. She is sitting in a baroque inspired chair, with a curious expression. She is conversing with someone in the room. The piece is done in fountain pen, with two different coloured inks employed; one in a dusty rose and one a sheening blue.

A pen and ink piece done in shimmering pink and pale lavender inks. The piece shows one of my ocs, Sakura; she is smiling and is holding a glass dip pen in her left hand. She is in an animated pose, with hair flowing to the left.

Thank you for the artshare~! Here are some pieces I've done recently 🥰🌸

It's a rudimentary one, that I hope to expand upon at a later point!

Hack-and-slash games are such a great genre—and so much fun! A dash/slide dash with invincibility frames would be an awesome addition down the line.

Take it one step at a time, though! I set small milestones to stay motivated—it really helps keep progress steady. Just set expectations as you go!

It looks like it's coming along well! Got double jumps which are the best jumps!

Not Sunday, but here's is mine 😅

This is looking awesome so far! I hope the UI and skill system are coming along well! ✨
