Things have felt a lot better since I quit relying on caffeine lol... Still going to allow myself the occasional energy drink as a headache cure every now and again, but I was becoming pretty dependant on them for a bit there.

Been playing Kirby Air Riders and having a blast! My takeaway is... I remember being scared of the volcano area in Air Ride's City Trial as a kid, but replaying last week, it was just... red. Now, if I played *Air Riders* as a kid, I don't know how I'd react with how actually scary it can get LOL

Some additions to the new update! That <<FIRSTTRUE>> tag makes text follow the first link that evaluates to "True" just like empty passages did previously, except now you don't need an empty passage to do it! That teal banner appears on the passage when this is set up. <<RANDOM>> is also an option!

I should probably do a style revisit on Fleece but I think it's really funny I just used a photo of a real-world folder for the folders

Take a look at this amazing plush of my adventurer cat, made by @plushiluv.bsky.social!! They're poseable, have customizable expressions, can hold/wear props, stand on their own, and they're only around 10" tall!! Truly a feat of plush engineering, thank you so much!!

I don't waaaant to, but I guess I should be messaging devs to ask if a) their game uses my assets and b) I can put that in a trailer

Yesterday I said out loud that I needed more breakfast foods in the house, then later I get an ad for cereal... Would it hurt to be a little more subtle?

Right, I've got some small STM fixes no one has reported to publish... And I really really do need to get around to patching fleece proper. It still works, just a few features to add, clean up, and some UI bugs to patch.

Hmm I think my controller was bringing my steamdeck out of sleep mode... I've been playing a lot of Hades II, but not THAT much (I think it's been idling out of sleep node for 2 days.......?)

I'm a huge fan of implementing accessibility guidelines into games, but I just think it's funny that you're more likely to win an award for accessibility by having a menu in your game that lets players make subtitles 1% bigger rather than making the game's text be readable by default lol

Also did anyone see that thing about Discord updating terms of service to waive the right to take them to court in Canada & the US unless you opt-out in the next 27 days. What did *they* do...? (Are they planning to leak *more* verification data?)

Did anyone else get that email from Unity this morning... Haven't had time to think abt it until now, what the hell did they do...? Every game made in 2017.1 and onwards needs to be patched for security reasons, no exceptions...??

genuinely, who cares? public services aren't businesses. it provides services that should be accessible to the entire population. it should not be expected to make that profitable.
