I used to take a test for color organizing pearls for fun, which is apparently a very difficult grading process. I have friends, I swear.

I know that feel. Daily, sometimes hourly. If you ever need an ear, feel free to reach out. No burden.

And the justifiers. Sycophants. This is insanity. It needs to be stopped. We're only a year in, and the illegal actions of our own government are stacked so high that it's damning. I'm kind of glad that I've been unemployed for a year. I don't want my tax money going to these assholes.

One of the many ways through Machu Picchu. A gorgeous, sacred place.

I can't wait to be hired to clean up after a massive AI slopfest code base.

Unity / C# engineer here. I've written many gameplay and core systems for SpaceVenture. Over 20 years of experience in various IT domains (sys admin, CI/CD, API integration, app and web dev) comes along with it.

The power went out for a few during a long drizzle, so I decided to take a cue from the Internet and rename Link for a chill run. #thedude #n64

I actually tested one of the super secret easter eggs that I created in memory of my father, and that worked, but I'll also check those other ones โค๏ธ

I decided to try #SpaceVenture on #SteamDeck and, to my surprise, it actually plays fine. Keep in mind, we started development in #Unity 4 and migrated to 2022. We did not know Steam Deck would even be a thing, nor have we developed specifically for the goal of compatibility on it. #madewithunity

You have witnessed a mental illness driving a person's hollowing brain in real time. If there are any scientists left, you should submit that for study.

Heading to the Portland Retro Game Expo in October. Anyone else going? Sounds like we have a great adventure game community turnout planned. I'll be there all weekend as an unofficial #SpaceVenture ambassador, and for my friend, Roberta, who passed earlier this year. #prge #prge2025

SpaceVenture on Steam A sci-fi comedy adventure game

It's been an honor working with Guys from Andromeda LLC for over a decade to bring #SpaceVenture to life, and it'll finally be up on Steam in a week. There's still much to do, but I plan on taking some pride before the "fun" of patch cycles take over.

It's almost like they don't want to fix it.

It's a shame that the solar sector seems to be a bit of a scam pit. The return on my panels were nowhere near the projected value. And the price to remove and reinstall them is practically half the same price as buying them and installing them in the first place. Vultures everywhere, it seems.

"Error" :D Somebody out there did the world a service. A bad actor or incompetent engineer ... either way, respect.

That game is quite a pleasure. That team did such an incredible job of reusing literal space to create an engaging and rewarding exploration experience.

The Three-Headed Monkeys band site is finally finished! They don't exist, but I wish they did. I'm sure they'd have a rockin' pirate shanty or two. One more portfolio piece in service of working with bands and music stuff :D one.drinkarddigital.com

That'd be storage companies around my area.

The only vid I took from the concert I went to Thursday. If you're a fan of rock and Egyptian themed musical scales, you will likely enjoy the band Ra. Sahaj has some golden pipes.

I put it off for too long, so this weekend is all about getting my version control workflow down for #ruinsofamberhall ... it's not exciting, but it is absolutely necessary for me to keep track of my project's progress and cross-platform building in the future.
