lime!

i bought this expecting a story-heavy atmospheric lonely driving experience with weird world building tense moments, like the vibe of the ship repair stuff in outer wilds.

i got a survival-crafting horror roguelike. you do comparatively little driving, the main game consists of scavenging for loot and using it to build replacement parts for your crumbling vehicle.

i hope this gets me back in. last time i thought the “repair vehicle after a successful run” setting would help me, but that also completely removes the quirks system, where the car picks up weird behaviors with time. it just deletes that gameplay element. that made me feel like i was cheating, which wasn’t fun.

they are also working on a follow-up, uv. not really a fan of writing tooling in another language but it works really well.

honestly i expected the fifth panel to be full of things like “GIL”, “2to3”, “virtualenv” “pip vs conda vs poetry vs…”, “mypy”, etc

my patreon bill is about $100 a month, I have a nebula subscription, and i pay for dropout, so yes i do.

and i pay those people if i engage with their creations. i still get ads in their videos, so i use sponsorblock.

advertising is emotional manipulation that i do not wish to be subjected to when not actively seeking it out. doesn’t matter if it’s done out of necessity, give me as a viewer a way to support you directly if that’s the situation.

many animals change biological sex completely, like clownfish for example. it’s very natural.

let’s get rid of the inverse square law. falloff is now linear.

i fixed an old mod i published on steam years ago.

i randomly got a ping on a workshop item for tabletop simulator that i hadn’t touched in aaages. in 2019, someone in my friend group had the idea to replicate the TechDif “Two of these people are lying” format, so i hacked together writeable and shuffleable note cards we could use to play online. a week or so ago i got a ping on that item, it was someone asking if they could ask me a question (never ask to ask, kids). this made me realize that it had hundreds of downloads, which made me a bit self-conscious about the code. looking at the other comments, i found some years old feature requests which i stayed up all night implementing.

the most interesting part (or gross, depending on your pov) was the request to make a card read-only. there’s no way to mark a text entry box as read-only, but i found out that they are only interactable on one side. so i added a toggle that rotates the text box so the back side faces up, and sets the scale to -1 which mirrors the whole thing.
