The world needs another Bob Ross; someone who completely embodies "You too can do this. Art is your sandbox to mess around in"

missed out on 2023-era waffle lore, so old bela is new bela for me

I have an honest issue where I feel like I'm imposing on a space by speaking up and taking to people here.

This post highlights the importance of trying to work past it.

The cold spell last week left me chomping at the bit to uninstall the window unit, and now I am considering using it again😭

the best part of auDHD is wanting to play a comfort game, and having that game change about 3 times before getting to your PC

ate a whole ahh donut woo energy crash lets goooo

reread the third one several times and I'm still not sure what they are asking for.

A blender scene containing some very patchwork and in-progress world geometry for some campaign map in the distant future. A scale reference of the master chief can be seen to the right.

mortifying ordeal of being known too mortifying.

I personally don't bother with clearsky. I trust the people who block me to have valid reasons to do so.

Furthermore; you do not showcase what you are doing until a vertical slice exists. No trailers. No threads. No modDB pages full of asset renders.

my favorite aspect of successfully shipping a mod is being able to post-mortem its development, and understand how working on it was truly a "brushstroke a day" type of deal. Every small task you do every day slowly adds up to the final product, and rushing will rob you of that.

is he ok

by far, the best thing you can do for yourself, with regards to practicing and continuing to play a musical instrument, is to have it ready to pick up and jam on, with minimal setup time.

And definitely never shy away from making something nobody cares about, because at the end of the day you're satisfying your own curiosity, and learning from it.

Serious projects routinely use skills that were developed making shitposts.

To add to this, dreams don't just appear from thin air when you want them to. When you have an idea for a gameplay mechanic that makes you smile with excitement, write that fucker down. Hold on to it. Remind yourself of it every day, use it to plan, and start SMALL. Be ready for it to take two years

A game is a product of a dream and a vision.

The dream is the "ideas guy" stuff. It's a commitment to the glorious experience that you want people to have.

The vision is the list of daily steps you will take towards getting there, in lieu of doomscrolling.

Without either, you have nothing.

nails in tires are the worst (and in my case, always when the tires are months old)

3 years; 2022 Iphone SE. Replaced a 2020 SE that I threw at a wall when having a moment. Before that, a ghetto taped-together 5s with a screen that I replaced several times.

I'd really like for them to keep making that "2007 iphone" form factor for as long as possible.

book size comparison meme. the first book is very thin and labeled “IDEA YOU START OUT WITH”. the second is three enormous books stacked on top of one another labeled “SHIT YOU NEED TO RESEARCH, MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT, WRITE AND THEN EDIT OUT, ETC”. the third is only slightly thicker than the first book and labeled “STORY THAT TAKES THE READER ON THE JOURNEY YOU WANT THEM TO TAKE”

a reminder for myself and all other hobby devs

visceral feelings of accidentally noclipping through dimensions in real life, and ending up in vacant, ruined, sealed off versions of childhood settings that you can't escape from.

literally just nowhere

Helping my friend clean, and he still has this guy safely stored.

I made a halo 1 firefight map! I've been putting off plugging it here for some reason, but yeh. It's just neat to be able to look back on the entire experience, and develop scripting templates for future maps. We'll talk of them when they're good and ready.
