Had the wildest thing happen today while snowboarding. The soles on both my boots delaminated! These were like 15 yo boots that had been sitting in the garage for a while so I guess the glue degraded. Despite that still had a lovely day at Snoqualmie despite the low snow pack this year.

When I first saw that diagram my game programmer brain immediately went to cross product right hand rule diagram lol (curling fingers around the normal vector).

@straycatalyst.bsky.social was hankering for a homemade chicken pot pie yesterday, so I obliged. (I cheated and used pre-made crust since I’m terrible at that). I forgot how much of an awesome winter comfort meal this is.

Oh no. I’m only 3 eps in. Guess I should buckle up and get the tissues.

Did a tour of the rebuilt Globe Theater here in London today. Was funded in part by individual donors at Β£300/person to buy a stone with your name on it. John Cleese (of Monty Python fame) bought 2: one for himself and one for Michael Palin, but only on the condition that Palin’s name wrong.πŸ˜‚

Before my visit, I didn’t realize that the Tower of London was at one point a multi-purpose government office, one of who roles was as a repository for weapon templates and standard measures. They had some standard imperial sized vessels. I had never seen a β€œpeck” before (2 gallons).

Just completed a super fun Bridge Command sim here in London at bridgecommand.space. Highly recommend. Was a super fun blend of interactive sim, team coordination and role play with actors. We rescued a crazy scientist in our particular mission. Was wild seeing her go from on screen to on deck.

When my Japanese language teacher and I travel we try and make a point to send postcards to each other from the places we visit. It’s good writing practice, but man, my penmanship is bad in English, and even more so in Japanese. I feel like an elementary kid when I write lol.πŸ˜‚

Got to check out the Brighton Pier this afternoon with friends. Really lucked out with the weather in the later afternoon. Clouds opened after shortly after we arrived. Also won a Brighton themed tea towel in the arcade!

Wrapped the global game jam here in Brighton with my teammates yesterday. Huge thanks to the Unity Brighton team for hosting!! The jam site was super cozy. So many inspiring games made this year.

Ohh cool! Looking forward to meeting this guy next week. Which reminds me, I gotta make sure that’s open for tours.

I know it’s just a Dollar Store equivalent here in the UK, but I still giggle every time I see the sign.

On the way back from dinner in Brighton this evening we came across an urban fox! They were surprisingly unbothered by our proximity.

Just arrived this morning in London to join my compatriots for the 2026 Global Gam Jam. On the train down to Brighton to meet up with folks now! Couldn’t ask for a nicer morning to ride the train.

Hey everyone, I got real bad news.

I lost my job today. Not really sure what to say other than this makes it really tight on my family money-wise.

If any of my games writer friends and followers have or know of openings for games reviews, please contact me.

Shares appreciated.

Brilliant. I can immediately see Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as a member of the Black Mesa science team.

Saw a big ANTI Ice protest right outside my office just now! Way to go Cap Hill! It’s cool seeing my neighbors speaking truth to power.

Character sheet for Jasper Mozu. Shows front, side, and back views of an anthropomorphic bird guy. He has an orange and white head with a dark mask, black hands and feet, and grey brown wings with white markings on the outside. He's wearing an orangey/light brown suit and green tie. Below the turn around views there are three linework facial expressions- surprised with beak mouth open, eyes closed with furrowed brows, and a smirk with angled eyebrows. There are three additional rough head sketches of different angles.

I kept forgetting to share this, but this was a cool VTuber character design @bwalker81.bsky.social commissioned from me! It's based on a bull-headed shrike. The final character is going to be 3D. This was a fun project.

It was a pleasure working with you on that! Thank you for your amazing work on the design. I’m still waiting on the rigging to come back from from the 3d modeler (texturing work wrapped at the end of Dec), but I’ll make sure to share shots of the 3D once I get sign off from the artist.
