English capitalization rules are utterly fucking stupid and arbitrary and make no sense (said in the voice of a man going through a 300-page script fixing capitalization errors on dozens of instances of what he *thought* were proper nouns but apparently aren't)

Had a little scare earlier today because the Google Doc for my mod project's script was suddenly 10 pages longer than I remembered it being only 3 or 4 days ago an I feared I'd messed up the formatting, but turns out I simply did 10 pages worth of writing without even registering it? Fine by me.

Tried a non-alcoholic beer for the first time in a while today and am now convinced breweries only make that stuff to convince people they should rather drink the real deal instead. Literally tastes like carbonated rust water

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

In the throes of the final™️ editing pass, feel struck by how weird & esoteric this quest is. Incredibly elaborate conversations and scenes built out of / around literary quotes and excerpts that spoke to me, all for an optional side quest for my noir detective story. I didn't *need* to do any this 😅
A sneak peak at some of the hundreds of lines I implemented today! This quest in particular will feature a plethora of colorful, loquacious characters and more literary references than I bothered to keep count of.

Not even a month since rewatching Synecdoche New York and I think I'm in a mood to feel sad again, so rewatching The Master (2012) tonight to remind myself of what a devastating loss Philip Seymour Hoffman's early death was

NGL, this sounds a good deal more interesting than what we got in the final product. Westside in particular could've used some more love... but then again, the lack of substantial content makes it a good blank canvas for enterprising quest modders 😎
In the first draft of Fallout: New Vegas, Freeside was broken into two separate communities of Fremont and Westside. Fremont was a humans only community, while Westside contained ghouls, non hostile mutants, and humans kicked out of Fremont.

Not an artist in the traditional sense, but when it comes to level design (or rather, environmental design), I think I have a very strong grasp of atmospheric lighting. It's the part of the process where things start to come together, and I'm able to do most of it entirely intuitively.

It's invigorating to take breaks from your projects sometimes. Spent much of the last 2 months getting back into playing the guitar & watching a ton of films rather than working on my mods or even playing games & am so much more focused & productive now that I'm getting back in the swing of things

I appreciate how little pseudo-humanist spinwork is being put on the events in Venezuela compared to Iraq; no more empty talk of democracy and human rights and fictitious weapons of mass destruction; they no longer need to pretend they ever gave a fuck, because they can expect to get away with it.

After years of resistance, I fear that I have slowly morphed into a Letterboxd guy. I'm actually writing multi-paragraph film reviews rather than just dropping detached, pithy one-liners now.
Suppose it was this or inexplicably getting into ornithology.

It's only the 30th and there is already a constant barrage of firecrackers going off outside. Someone just triggered a car alarm right outside my bedroom window at 11:40 PM on a workday 😎 what a beautiful and sensible tradition, great for pets and wildlife too

Not really feeling an appropriate amount of existential dread about the impending end of the year, so gonna rewatch Synecdoche New York tonight and think really hard about my failure to live up to my creative aspirations in the 6 years since I last watched it, wish me luck 🤞

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community
go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!
