I do, however, feel Trump is pushing these tariffs. Oligarchs thrive on free market, and Trumps desire to achieve something is absolutely throttling logistical chains for all major businesses. Though, trump calling this play does not a rational actor make.

I'm not worried about who called the shot, I'm more focused on how the public is responding. AOC and Bernie's movement, which is definitely anti-oligarch, has been greatly empowered by Trumps actions, regardless of the actual decision maker.

I don't think that's true, actually. Mostly Trumps approval has been on the decline since tariffs started having their impacts. Meanwhile AOC and Buttigieg are actually delivering a non-aggressive pro-worker message. I really think the tariff response is highlighting how trump is failing his base.

Thanks for the breakdown! I'm sure this will save me a headache in a month or two xD

A novice can get an enemy to fire a bullet in #Godot in about half an hour. A veteran will take a week. #indiedev math

Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm excited to put forward some updates soon- thanks for the follow ^^ Can't wait to see more prompts!

Listening to my partner rubber duck to me about the bed frame she's planning on #woodworking from scratch finally gives me empathy for the blank stare she gives me when I'm verbally working through a #gamedev problem or design concept

They'd just had a second wedding in a row, in a vomit covered dining hall, interrupted by fire breathing imps, major injuries, and a wave of rabid raccoons. And yet... EVERYONE'S MOOD WAS FULL. Turns out, they all thought this was a hell of a party. #rimworld #weddings (8/8)

Umeko alerted the colony that a wave of rabid raccoons had decided to voice their ire at not being invited to the wedding. Beaten, tired, but resolute, the colonists hoisted their weapons and savagely bounced the wedding crashing trash pandas. #rimworld (7/8)

After both imps were slain, and I un-recruited the now exhausted colonists, Jenson and Glenn went off to lick their wounds. Everyone thought the day was over, and they could finally rest. Unfortunately, their relief was savagely cut short by another blaring klaxon #rimworld (6/8)

Fact Number 1: Sometimes choosing a map with tunnels means enemies can find fun and exciting ways to flank your defenses.
Fact Number 2: The flamethrowers protruding from the throats of imps sure the hell weren't made by The Boring Company. #rimworld #stories (4/8)

The ceremony went off without a hitch, until an alarm klaxon sounded and the colony got raided by imps. I was feeling cocky- We'd managed to field 4 marksmen and a melee specialist, and they'd only sent two imps with long bows. Unfortunately, I'd missed two important facts. #rimworld (3/8)

During the Wedding, Glenn must have said something extremely charming, because *during the ceremony*, Skye and Glenn decide they need to hook up sometime in the near future. Jenson seemed completely unperturbed, but I guess that's fair- he'd even eaten at a *table* recently. #rimworld (2/8)

Skye and Jenson were getting married. Even though the ideology they follow actively encourages #polyamory, I thought Umeko would at least be a little put off- The vomit hadn't even been cleaned off the floor from Umeko and Jenson's wedding the day before. #rimworld #stories (1/8)

Me: Oh god, another #Jubilee debate... But that topic is interesting...
Me 16 minutes later: Ew, that was all spectacle and no substance- the format should let the participants finish a single thought, hated that.
Jubilee: Yeah but next video, you get to watch Dr. Mike take on anti-vaxxers

Progress in fixing my ability system to work better with #Godot nodes is going good. Slow, careful, but good. I've taken to journaling my coding changes, so that I have notes when I lose my place in the project. It feels weird keeping those notes in a physical journal, but it really helps. #indiedev

This is weirdly inspiring- I see a casual sim game of operating a farm purely through crane mechanics, and like... I kinda want to play it XD Gorgeous work!

It's an idea I had, but unfortunately I'm using external resource references I'd have to force in to deep copying- Luckily I can just separate the execution and tracking in to an "ability slot" node, which mostly solves the problem ^^ Thank you though!

Dear two-months-ago-me: #Godot 's Resources and Nodes have reasons for being different things, and if you don't want all your Fireballs to store their targets in to a group hive mind array, you should probably not over-use the resource system... #indiedev #fails

So I have my #larp snacks down to a science. Nature's Bakery Brownie Bars for fiber, beef jerky strips for protein and something savory, and Nerds gummy clusters because I'm actually four six year olds in a trench coat.

I'm pretty sure the only way I'm making any #indiedev progress this year is if I make Monster Hunter: Wilds my reward for hitting playable on my first #Godot project. Otherwise I'm gonna be writing all my code in very garish, unsustainably sourced, gorgeous monster armor... in like a year.

I'm behind on my Facebook Exodus- was hoping to be completely off platform at end of February, but I just had a little too much going on. Also, converting all of my contacts in to Signal and Discord friends has been a little longer than I thought. Still, pulled all my data and secured it at least!
