spent the weekend figuring out how clouds work, and I'm pretty sure it's something like this #gamedev #ue5

cube! dunno what the line in the middle is all about, got plenty more googling to do I suppose

cuuuuuube

when I finally thought of something to make, it turned out all my nerd friends had already ditched their 3d printers. just so happens my boss wanted to get rid of theirs, and now it's mine! it seems to be an okay-ish one? making a 2cm test cube to see how it goes

extremely out of practise doing any kind of dev blog thing and making about 1/100th of the screenshots I should. maybe I should set a timer? anyway, here's some bushes #gamedev

it tastes weirdly like fresh watermelon still! homemade jams typically do, but this more so than anything else I've had

a small jam tart on a cutting board, with a rolling pin and cookie cutter beside it

made watermelon jam, then put it in some little tarts. the internet article that said I didn't need pectin was a total lie, even after boiling to death it won't set. but still, tastes great

thinking of a company I used to work for that burned a third of their employees, myself included, to get several failed FDA approvals through the door only to just succeed in time for the agency to be nuked from orbit and the tarrifs making it almost certainly unprofitable to operate there... lmao

I'm finding Severance doubly relatable since I too forget my job and the names and faces of everyone I work with when I leave the building on a Friday

Like, we're inventing a new weapon to defeat god with the power of love, but you wouldn't have got that from the surface level screaming through city streets on a motorcycle as a psychic meat-puppet-come-exoskeletal ronin.

Bullet jump sliding back into Warframe after about a year and still in awe at how batshit the story presentation is. How the big flashy main quest just blasts through new concepts and expects you to roll with it. Until, you slow down, do a little digging, and it becomes so deceptively simple.

I know am a serial Not Getting The Hint offender, but at this point I realise it's been several years of 'man that thing we did was fun' and then me not organising another round of it because no one directly told me they wanted it

automatic purchase, every time

took the tanks out on the road again yesterday, another victorious group of players! unfortunately there was one casualty, the green tank got a bit squished. one more playtest to go this month! #gamedev #trrpg #wargaming

don't got any of those, kid, but we do got a

Tried some Copilot today after struggling with some automation and it's still a load of shite. But I can see how powerful a managing upwards tool it is - if your boss believes Snowcrash is an instruction manual then 'AI says do it this way' is a cheat code to getting what you want.

I have a Bixby button on my phone. The button is useless now, it does nothing when I press it - a small price to pay for having killed and purged Bixby from my device.

Final ham update! Finished overnight, not as pink as I wanted but it had been frozen before cooking. Finished with sea salt and a malt vinegarette, topped with gem lettuce.

have been visited at work by a small monster

I put it in the fridge, needs more time to set

ham update, 2 hours of cooking complete, I'm not allowed to touch it for at least 4 while it cools and sets

ham update, all wrapped up and in the pot. timer set for 2 hours

ham update, I somehow didn't get enough parsley for this. need to clean up the edges and wrap

a kitchen worktop with a large pork shoulder and a pile of chopped parsley of equal size

ham update, I gotta chop up the green stuff and somehow get all of it inside the pink thing

it is time to ham.
will provide Ham Updates throughout the day

I thought so too! They moved to a second location after a couple songs. Probably the pub

I don't wanna dox my location, so you'll have to take my word for it that I currently have LED lit up Morris dancers outside my flat. It is 3°C in January at 8pm.

team went for coffee, I pushed for a tiny independent place in an old building, with just enough room for us all. I completely forgot the layout, specifically the heating arrangement. we're just huddled up there still with our coats on in front of a teeny electric fan heater. excellent coffee tho

A photo of a tabletop role-playing game. One player is moving a tiny model of a tank around a hexagonal board. The board is surrounded by character sheets, dice and pencils.

Played tanks! Got some incredible feedback from the board game devs, and they even wanted to play twice which still has me reeling.
Made lots of notes, and I'm putting this in front of two completely different crowds later this month, which could produce completely different results! #rpg #gamedev

Taking the tiny tanks to a board game dev's meetup later. last time I went every one of them was a seasoned pro unlike us losers in the indie gamedev meetup. Still, the feedback was great and encouraging and I didn't get any hint that I was a fool for trying, so hopefully they like the updated game!
