Using a felt-tip marker on some Japanese cards, wondering if a non-casual player/collector would scream at me. 🤔

Okay, yeah. That was so good. Not just for the breakdown, but envisioning the editor's role -- here's the footage we shot, now cut it together in a way that best serves the story... sometimes a tall task, for sure.

When someone says a movie has "some of the worst editing I've ever seen," what do they mean by that? Is it something you just have to see for yourself and understand intuitively, or is editing a craft that can be broken down and explained, taught to someone?

As it is, it's like... drinking artificially sweetened saltwater. Not an experience I'd pursue! Lol.

In the realm of food and drink, I like trying new things. My mind is delighted by novelty, and finding an odd little treat can be a relatively inexpensive thrill. But this, I cannot recommend. 😅 Somewhat pickle juice, somewhat fruit punch, I wish it would have picked a lane.

Happy #indie Sunday! This week's review is for Vernal Edge, a non-linear platformer. I play as Vernal who is on a quest for revenge across an archipelago of flying islands created by a mad scientist's experiments. It has good ideas but I have to force my way through a lot of irritance to find them.

sometimes game development is programming enemy behavior sometimes game development is staring deep into the abyss and wondering if you've never actually known how to draw the letter "G"

I want to acknowledge quick, the past couple weeks of life have presented some challenges to getting my usual sermon notes up. Happy to return to the practice today, as our church continues a series through Psalms with a message on the third. I took a few points down.

Gazing back over all the social media connections I've made in the gaming space (a handful of whom I met at real-life events) and not feeling great about how many turned out to be sex pests or have other very serious issues. Is every field like this, or...

I think it's close, for me, if only because I spent a solid decade of my life trying to amass a cross-console retro gaming knowledge base. I can imagine getting to like 817 and running out of steam though. 😅 gonna go handwrite a list quick, let's see here--

Gamers: Do you think there are 1,000 distinct releases (different titles) you would recognize from a single average screenshot? 🤔
