Testing out some AC Christmas light controllers from HolidayCoro. Finally replacing the homebrew Renard controllers weโ€™ve been using for years as they were start to get a bit squirrelly.

Trying out making carnitas for the first time tonight. Was surprised how much juice came out of the pork in the Dutch oven (start led with just the juice of a few oranges on the pot). Wishing I had left the pork for another 30min to slow cook, but over all tasting pretty darn good!

Turns out half of perf optimization in Unreal is just finding all the static meshes that have dynamic collision turned on that someone forgot to unset.

Finally got around to getting frames for the art I bought at AniRevo and Pax. I always forget how expensive frames can be, often far exceeding the cost of the art itself.

I just got the updated Covid vaccine today! Unfortunately my insurance company didnโ€™t cover Pfizer or Moderna (currently only ones on offer at neighborhood QFC) so I paid out of pocket for Pfizer. Apparently Novavax vaccine will be covered, but that available in Nov. YMMV

Of course when I fat-finger a Ctrl-S and insert a random 's' in a middle of source file right before check in, it has to be in a shared library across projects ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Watching build failure messages light up Slack like a Christmas tree.

The โ€œArt of Nintendo Powerโ€ at PAX was a glorious nostalgia bomb. I vividly remember that Mega Man cover art and had no idea it came from diorama props. Super cute seeing the fan letter illustrations too. @straycatalyst.bsky.social and I got a Gameboy Camera photo at the end of the exhibit.

Went to the Weird Al show with @straycatalyst.bsky.social and some friends yesterday. What an amazing show! 2nd time Iโ€™ve seen him perform. Always an impressive musician, but was really blown away by the non-stop costume changes in this show. Seeing โ€œAmish Paradiseโ€ in full garb was a delight.

3D render of the Cat Fluxx game packaging. A rectangular white box- the top features a logo with a black silhouette of a cat batting at the word "cat," and the lower half shows an orange cat face with big curious green eyes peaking up from the bottom.

Wait a sec- it's International Cat Day and I just so happened to find out I can now post all my art from the upcoming Cat Fluxx game? Kismet! ๐Ÿ˜ธ I'll be slowly sharing that art throughout the day/weekend! #cats #animalart
