Cadence is Elsewhere

EEEUUGGHHHHHH-EUGH-EUGH-EUGHHHH

No, man.

300 characters is kind of ridiculous.

How about you? Navel gazing poetry about what you’ve got?

If I WERE in MN, you’d expect me to post about it here?

Your bio says you’re a fitness coach. Your banner mocks 2A rights activists. Seems like it’s likely just poetry.

How are you going to make them come again?

With more than cheap affirmational poetry, I hope.

I found a mind-mapping tool that runs on macOS, Windows, and iOS that I think might be the answer to my creative block for the past long while.

What I really think I want is a Wiki, but something lighter with visible relationships appeals a LOT…

There is no such thing as “Vichy Democrats”, kids, there are only the same old Democrats as always.

If you want ideological distance, you’re gonna have to earn it a little better than that nonsense.

They lost me at CG mechs I think. Maybe it won’t suck.

You think we still have a market economy, so that’s another strike.

How do you know what my tactics are? I certainly wouldn’t discuss them with you.

Vichy I’d respond to your drive-by but you blocked me the moment you knew I’d seen your response, so… I mean have a good life I guess.

Yes he’s VERY condescending.

Why do you think we have ethanol subsidies? How’d that happen? Why?

Your problem is that you don’t actually understand who or what the enemy is.

(It would probably serve you to be at least marginally less condescending.)

From a quick perusal of your thread, it sounds like the class war is what you don’t understand, and need to understand, which is why your synthesis is so slanted.

If you need, at any point, to refer to “Republicans”, or “Democrats” in a partisan context, you have lost the plot.

Good luck though.

Not really indie/game dev but just about being a creative in 2025 in general…

I’ve been orbiting around the success of “Pants” by Josh Mecouch, and I think it’s mostly down to the fact that he’s selling nostalgia for a now dead society/planet.

Is that the only way forward, anymore? It seems so.

A very large portion of game development is half-assing it just enough to both get it done solo in reasonable time and have it present well to the player.

Unless you’re going for eSports level gameplay… I wouldn’t sweat it too much.

We had Thanksgiving with 3 people, because we never leave the house, because of COVID.

We're coming up on 5 years now and it looks like 5 more are in the queue.

Going to start work on 'Cadence' again soon.

This project has been going on and off for 8 years. It's gotta get out of my head and onto others' screens, or I'm gonna die from it.

Life is too all-consuming rn.

Video is insanely loud on this app. Volume is either on or off, so it's not like I've got it cranked.

It's just louder than ALL of my other applications. Encoding? Streaming? Compression not right?

It's weird and kinda disruptive.

Do you use boxcutter for these? Something else? How do you get the precise spacing of your booleans/extrudes?

I'm trying to transition my workflow from Fusion 360 with Maya for UV unwrap to Blender for probably obvious reasons... heh.

Who’s that?

He looks an awful lot like the protag from Way of the Househusband.

Not Cadence related, but robot related!

Our lead dev is on a quest to repurchase his childhood…. 🤖

Which is like… thematic. You’ll see!

A sleek, but weathered looking robot shaped a bit like a unicycle, with a reverse-fluted cylindrical base holding an omniwheel in the center, supporting a sort of face made of two half-hexagonal panels. One panel has two camera lenses and a speaker grill resembling eyes and a smiling mouth, and the other has an LCD screen displaying a warning. The robot is a deep candy apple red and is numbered "42". There is a flat, steel, segmented armature on his back, all folded up against his main chassis, with a large servo-motor connecting each joint.

Is he dreaming of electric sheep, or is HE the electric sheep? 🤔

Opening the space crate may be very dangerous.

Character concepts for “Cadence” and “Rosalind” from Izzy, my extremely talented 14yo collaborator.
