Hi #screenshotsaturday! Check out #santria 's victory screen with new unlocked traits! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker

GMLive has saved me tens of thousands of hours of recompiling and has helped me dial in so many small tweaks to make things feel just right.

It's worth every penny and many more.

16 bit style pixel art. Kinda water color on parchment treatment. A large portrait of a bunny knight is in the top left corner. Under her are a bunch of stats. and a command menu. In the center is a gameplay screen of a dungeon with various enemies and hazards. On the right is a map. Quest progress scroll and inventory in a cute bunny themed backpack.

Just remembered I'd started pixeling a mocking up for a Cave Noire-like a few years back. Some of the ideas I had for this are ending up in #goblingirlgame now.

Also I guess I've been itching to create a micro dungeon game of some sort for over half a decade now?😬

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

Huh, so I may have finally found a trick for good line rasterization outside of OpenGL Core.

Vertex shader stores the coordinates for each pair of verts, then in fragment I test them with a Bresenham line function, discarding pixels outside the line (& use conservative rasterization to avoid gaps).

i finally got around to implementing character sprites, therefore, Error Joseph is now real and can jumpscare me

(sprite @yummypillow.art who put an unreasonable amount of effort into this)

An analytics page screenshot showing that paths containing /terrasavr/comment now have 39 views, "down 99%"

Results are promising so far - for this I had to
- Blacklist a few user agents for bots that *do* identify themselves
- Blacklist ?replytocom (WordPress' "reply to comment" links) in robots.txt
- Also blacklist it .htaccess because, of course, some bots ignore robots.txt

There are now a few open-source ULP keyboards (like this one!), but you kind of want a hot plate to solder these, and de-soldering them is even more of a pain, so socketed Kailh Choc or Gateron LP switches are usually an acceptable sacrifice

Goes on sale time to time but it *did* cost 200-something a few years ago.

Cherry themselves recently released a a keyboard with these switches (Cherry KW x ULP) that's slightly more affordable

look up "hyperrealism" on duckduckgo

Your instance names become constants that point at that instance ID at play-time, so `i = ipu_room_item_5` will become `i = 100017` or alike.

If you want a lookup table with these, write (or generate) a script that does `map[?"ipu_room_item_5"] = ipu_room_item_5`

Thank you!

A drawing shows that Magekicker Dave is a small gator-esque creature sticking its head out of a boot. The creature has a smug look and an angry eyebrow. Background from 2minutetabletop, boot from Foundry VTT standard icons

A little while ago I did a Pathfinder one-shot where you hear of this wanted criminal called Magekicker Dave and when you finally get to him, you discover that he looks like this:

I'm really curious to see the reactions to this.
I'm currently using the 2015 version, which they don't distribute, but I still have to pay the subscription to use it lol.
Fuck Adobe but I hope the software survives in some form.

You could match it like div[style="whatever that block has"], on light mode that's
div[style="border-top-width: 1px; border-color: rgb(220, 226, 234); background-color: rgb(249, 250, 251);"]

I've set up slightly more verbose logging and there's a bit of everything:
- Regular crawling
- Some "newsai" re-downloading pages every 30 minutes
- Crawlers pretending to be Google Bot
- Select crawlers coming to a page and then visiting every single link on it, including comment permalinks

All different IP addresses, as per first screenshot

The said users don't have much to tell them apart from legitimate visitors.

All of these present as very regular Chromium browsers on Win10/11 so either I have to start paying for security services (on a personal blog!) or block Chinese IPs entirely.

Analytics page showing that paths containing /terrasavr/comment have 55.6K page views during the current month

... among which, only 7 aren't from China

Here's a crawling moment for ya: I get an email saying that I've exceeded my plan on the analytics service I use. I check analytics. It's Chinese IP addresses hammering random pages at an impressive pace.
