"Weird Ships Unique to People Overseas"

x.com/tentenchan25...

In feb I warned my parents that only half the screws had been put in their kitchen units; just now one of the doors fell off and split the ~$2k marble slab clean in half

After checking all my limbs were attached I sent a picture saying that it was "sagging a bit" and went back upstairs with hummus.

My grandparents aren't around anymore but my dad has been using it write basic letters in a super glib tone and to put smiles on our family photos. Old people's faculties are the biggest casualties of this tbh

congratulations on your transition botan 💜 !!!

Happy double booziversary!

I think I want to make blind box toys sitting on books into a thing. I don't actually have that many, though.

Been on a Phone Bad kick lately (from "Stolen Focus") and picked up Csikzentmihalyi. He was saying the same stuff about TV in the 80s; enlightening but I see why there's guys dedicated to paraphrasing him. "Please I just want to stop scrolling—" Did you know that POWs used to count cracks in paint?

Sort of meme-like image showing Lucia's transition from being a long-haired boy who killed someone with a baseball bat to "haircare", "skincare" and "dressing for broad shoulders"

Seems she has a troubled past though???

Handler... I redesigned her to match the other kinda floaty Citizen Sleeper-ish sprites, renamed Lucia Holdenfeld, which is an anagram.

She's really, really nice and will help you go back to Sol and restore Pre-Collapse Perpetual Status Quo Democracy.

flat cowgirl, perfect 🤤

they are modeled with autobalance! the outer RCS are destructible in pairs because it's quite punishing otherwise.

the core section has indestructuble jets and some 'magic' too. i'm trying to marry ship customizing w/ bullet hell, so the player needs to feel in control even if there is some damage

I was sorting the art folder on my NAS and found a "my art influences" template I'd filled out with like Leyendecker and Kim Jung Gi and the key artist for Homeworld. it's like a letter from a baby

nowadays i think it's 2-3 gacha game artists who post once a year and a wrinkly ESD bag on my desk

Also, I unit test every feature using my own Gherkin executor. Product ownership has entered the building, we are no longer playing small ball.

The scope I think is just right. In the design document I broke it down into just three 'modes': the explodey bits, the visual novel/life sim bits. Here's some mockups.

It's also Story Rich. The story will have a lot of words and empower you to spew entire paragraphs of bile at people in one click like in Pathologic 3.

You play as this 600 y.o. friendcel shipgirl who is going to take better care of herself and not be repulsive now, so basically anti-mechsplo.

How is the game going? I wanna say the combat programming is more than halfway done. It's kind of like Highfleet for people who want to feel things other than pain.

At the minute I'm rushing to produce new textures and get the Steam page up. If I've improved at all as a PO, probably August.

I think the average catgirl tail is just under one body length. Domestic cats can reach that length, but it's more often half their remaining body size or less.

Combined with being lightly prehensile, catgirl tails have more in common with those of new world monkeys... really makes you think......

May I recommend you get into fountain pens, which also won't dry but will become a strange hyperfixation?

no tailless baby, you can't say "nyaa" ❤️

your word is "sorry i can't come into work today" 👩‍🔧🥀

these are so neat!

Anime-style illustration of a girl with short gray hair adorned with lavender flowers, wearing a transparent, inflatable shawl over a beige hydration pack and black shorts. Above her there is a spiky metal halo. Behind her there are purple mecha parts with a rotary turret outlined in orange. Opposite the turret, a Godot Icon placeholder object is being moved into place with an axis gizmo. In the bottom right, partially visible JSON code reads: "name_i18n": { "en": "Kukushka", "ru": "Кукушка" }, "faction": "MRN", "size": "frigate", "armament": { "40mm PDC «Primula»", "4x Rocket «Acacia»" }

I love making video games!!!!!!!!

I have heard Syngman Rhee's name pronounced so many times but had no idea it was spelled that way until I watched the Ishmael wetsuit incident video essay pt2.

That level of custom anglicization feels like a 🚩

same tbh

for a little bit my mom was concerned that my classmates would find it weird but i was already too much of a pariah for it to even matter

interesting; i'm not sure i noticed any difference between colors except that gel pens were a bit more reliable but bled thru the paper

i'm mostly wondering if there was a type that would bring red pens in case they have to mark a paper (or actually had to)

ok phew (?)

a feeling of dread washed over me...

i fucking abhor that this man is 80% of my "Merujuk Kepada Malaysia" feed

it makes sense demographically but it's disappointing

did any of you ever bring a red pen to school as a child? if so, why?

(multi-pens don't count)

he deleted it within the hour but it was completely horrible

the other people in the discord figured he was a turbo-extrovert who lost his mind during lockdown and started dming every girl he could find

The manuscripts are very much a sprawling unedited fantasy war game AAR with a couple of lolicon quotables about how angelic the girls are

On the other hand, from what I've seen of his art he was unironically a natural at it
