Roadrunner Twice

By the way, here’s an excellent essay about game design that I don’t think I’ve contrived an excuse to link yet: “Bomb Sense,” by danbo.

Hey by the way!!

Adam de Souza — Blind Alley (webcomic backlog) May 27 Readable online.

Right, so the thing about the ECS pattern is that it makes it straightforward and concise to do a bunch of the really nasty video game shit: Intrusive and cross-cutting systems that affect a lot of entangled state across many domains.

Oh, and also I just picked up Ginga Force and Natsuki Chronicles on playstation because for some random-ass reason they were TWO DOLLARS (/paperboy-from-better-off-dead-voice) for a couple of days, which is ludicrous.

Unrelatedly, I'm starting to close in on a Maniac 1cc of Mushihimesama (using S-type shot) which is probably going to be my first clear of a Cave game.

qntm — Fine Structure Feb 4 This novel covers some of the same ground as Ra, but I didn't like it as much — it didn't feel as coherent and directed, which drained some of the impact of the big gonzo ideas.

There’s a Greatures tournament arc on right now and it’s ludicrous. comments

Just discovered this new webcomic.

I'm not actually too much of a framerate princess, like honestly 30fps feels mostly fine once I've spent two minutes adjusting.

I'm mostly writing this here for my future self. ( You definitely aren't interested in this unless you landed directly on this entry via a search engine. ) comments

This is a gamedev post.

I've been loving Greatures, the current KC Green comic.

Everything's extremely fucked up at the moment, and I'm heartsick and volcanicly angry on behalf of my old home of Minneapolis.

When I was working at the counter in the bakery in Minneapolis, I would sometimes read a library book during downtime.

OK, here we go — the final 2025 bookpost!

Another end-of-year bookpost batch; we're down to two remaining books in the queue after this, which of course are some of the harder ones to talk about.

It's coming up on the end of 2025, so let's do a couple review posts.

All right, so first off, those Spotify assholes can go fuck themselves.

I don't think I shared this in my original review, but there was one specific moment in the game ZeroRanger where I went from "rather intent on it" to "full werewolf:" the part where the true last boss deletes your fucking save file.

Hey, let's do another bookpost.

Hey, let's do a Friday bookpost.

Had a fun experience today — one of my friends finally took the bait and asked me for the full download on how to make my default crusty bread.
