Now for the bittersweet part of any launch day as a freelance worker, with the game out, I'm out looking for work again. So, need a UI/gameplay programmer, a top-notch senior/lead QA Analyst, a technical or educational game designer?
I'm open to freelance and full-time positions, hit me up! Please!

Spreading my wings a little bit more with hand-writing UI shaders in Unity. I WOULD feel bad about how hacky this process is if only Unity's docs were in better shape. 😅
The additional work here is invisible, but I can't help but do another post showing "pRoGrEsS". Making a game in UGUI is wild. 😸🧶

Expanding on a recent jam game (Smash The Oligarchy), and focusing on animation and vfx (card damage and destruction).
This kinda work can be pretty satisfying. :)

As someone who doesn't have full ADHD, but definitely feels like it from time to time, this realization was transformative for me.
Once I started understanding how my brain can fight against me, I started working with it on that level, and I saw improvement I didn't know was possible.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second:
one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable
that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

“We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”
