Dexy's second night in his new home. He seems pretty nonchalant about everything, unlike me.

Dexy's second night in his new home. He seems pretty nonchalant about everything, unlike me.
We have decided on a name; say hello to Dexy! He is not yet brave enough to take food from my hand but he's already brave enough to follow my hand around the cage in case I drop some food for him. #hamster

Today I brought home a new hamster. Keeping the blanket on the enclosure so he can settle in in peace. Haven't named him yet.

I think the fist is pretty much the same on the models, but the angle in the new pic makes it look like a cannon. Personally, I miss the fact that the old version looks like it's got a tough guy jutting jaw. I mean look at this dude.

In which case, we have all the info we need to proceed as we did before. And it means I don't have to go around changing the signatures of every AdventureSeed call in the game. Less work is better work, esp for a #SoloDev. #GameDev #ghrpg store.steampowered.com/app/1565090/...

Continuing the GearHead Caramel UI refactoring and I have come to the AdventureSeed class- a bundled blueprint for some narrative content, usually a mission. Gonna overload its call function to support being called directly from a widget, but ofc Python doesn't really support function overloading...

The Gundam Base had what appears to be a replica of the Jumbo Mazinger Z that I wished for in the 70s but my mother heard that a kid in Halifax lost an eye to the spring loaded missiles.
