He/Him, fuck AI, fuck fascists, free Palestine 🇵🇸

Solo game dev working on cool stuff in Godot, UE4/UE5 marketplace creator, metal music enjoyer, linux user and Australian

My Unreal Engine content: https://www.fab.com/sellers/Dapper%20Raptor%20Development
Pinned
At the beginning of 2025, I made the decision to move from 3D projects in UE5 to 2D in Godot. I'd never used Godot. I'd never worked on 2D projects. And I also decided to learn pixel art for this. I've never been good at art... This is some screenshots of my new project. Its been very rewarding!
Welp, just got back from seeing the Stardew Valley show Symphony of Seasons and... if you like the game and have the opportunity... go see it. Utterly fantastic!

I was worried that support for Palestine might wane a bit with the "ceasefire" announcement... but my wife just sent me these from the March for Gaza in Adelaide (where we live)... And other pics from at least the other AU cities are similarly large crowds... which is wonderful... Keep it up all!

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

Sigh... another dumb story about NextDoor boomers...

Some boomer posted an image to promote the upcoming "March for Australia". This rally is a racist white supremacist event organized by a guy who literally proudly proclaims he is a neo nazi, not even joking... So of course I report this...

God I'm so scared for them... I hope this holds but I do not trust Netanyahu or Trump at all... 🤞
Tens of thousands of Palestinians are walking back to Gaza City as the Israeli military begins its withdrawal from the area following the ceasefire agreement.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum is there, watching what he described as ‘an endless tide of humans’.

Enjoy a beautiful pic of one of my kitties in the sun outside (he's an indoor cat - we take him out with us sometimes under strict supervision)

Today I had some boomer in an online thread about Palestine say "BUT DONT YOU THINK HAMAS SHOULD LET THE HOSTAGES GO FREE? WHERE IS YOUR MORAL COMPASS IF NOT?!"

These fucks are so dumb. YES. I want all hostages, the 48 that Hamas have, and the 9000+ that Israel have, to be free... LISTEN TO US -.-

Another flotilla, the Freedom Flotilla + Thousand Madleens, was just intercepted. 93 people on board, but this one doesn't have the high profile people like Greta, which makes me way more concerned for the safety of those who have just been kidnapped illegally by Israel...

Ugh... Been using an app called NextDoor that helps connect people in local communities - things like sharing plants, trading resources, etc. But there's so many pro-Israel boomers on there and its so disheartening :(

Yo, you know how you are all angry and cancelling your game pass subscriptions? You know you can do that to windows too... Linux is super user friendly nowadays (with a little research to pick a good starter distro). No more money to MS, no more putting up with their shitty choices/AI... just sayin

Like look at this shit... this boat had a handful of UNARMED civilians who had made it clear from the beginning that no resistance would be put up in the case of an interception. Israel still sent an entire fucking platoon of toy soldiers to capture it... Tell me again how this is fighting terrorism
Israeli pirates 🏴‍☠️ war criming it up by abducting civilians attempting to deliver aid to the people of Gaza, starved (once again) by Israel

…all while state governments sit on their hands, like puppets of the U.S.

Watching the last live stream (afaik anyway) of the flotilla go to "Device Offline" shortly after they said on camera that they are being surrounded by IOF is heartbreaking. 3 military ships to take one tiny boat manned by less than 10 people... This needs to change

The IOF had to send full boats of heavily armed soldiers to KIDNAP unarmed peaceful protestors in the flotilla... What fucking cowards. These people had made it so clear they would not resist... but they just can't resist a chance to show their cowardice...

Happy one year anniversary to Mouthwashing

Quite literally a modern classic we should all be very proud of being around at the same time for.

Yesterday I was in the CBD in my local city and saw this "Artificial Truth Machine"... Turns out its a machine you go up to and talk to AI and it, presumably, harvests all your data (it has cameras and so on) and then gives you an AI generated image in return... wtf is this... I'm so sick of AI -.-

My wife and I are trying to learn to make more basic things and become less reliant on big companies and supermarkets. Figured I might start posting those activities here as well... So lets start with... making our own soda! I'll update this thread as things progress :)

Its so frustrating when I see someone on a platform that seems really cool, or like they are making something really cool, to then click on their profile and see a bunch of posts pushing and promoting generative AI... 🙃

It'd have been more helpful if the West recognized the very obvious and uncontestable genocide, instead of recognizing Palestine just long enough for Israel to massacre it completely.

Working on different effects to let the player see behind large trees. Which is your favourite version? I'm thinking of going with #3

Welp, after years of being off social media entirely, I decided I should probably have some way to share my game as I get some progress on it done... So here we go 👀 Will actually have to start sharing stuff now... lol
