It's been four months since I moved away from this website. I can't use it while it puts money in his pocket. But I miss many of you who didn't come with me. Please consider creating an account and checking out the blue site. It's really great.

What kind of monster prints their title upside down on the book’s spine? I just got Lua Programming Gems in, and I hate this.

Are we trying to leave again? I liked the elephant site better, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm game.

Watched a video of a guitarist/songwriter experiencing Elliott Smith for the first time (Between the Bars) and it's clear that it's hitting him super hard. He paused it and just said, "Fuck!" and just sat there for a second. Yep, me too, buddy. I still feel it every time.

Two book club books in a row that I've hated, and I didn't like the first one much either. (We've done three in total so far.) I'm beginning to wonder if the book club thing is for me. :(

omg, this is so dumb. I was trying to find the name of a zelda song, and started typing the dumbest search. "What's the zelda song that goes doo doo doo" Autocomplete finished it for me and found it as the first result.

I've setup a simple blog to journal my dev work. It's pretty basic, but was fun to learn how to setup. Do people still use RSS? I can enable that pretty easily, I think. What about comments? Should I include a "come yell at me on twitter" link instead? jessechounard.dev/

I'm so excited. I love Mistborn and deckbuilders are my favorite type of board game. (Card game? Tabletop game? Whatever.)

Got Terry to master rank tonight. He's a lot of fun! Lots of Terry mirrors on the way up, just like with Akuma.

I put this line in my code yesterday to remember where I left off. Now I don't want to remove it. // todo: don't let your dreams be dreams

UFO 50 isn't perfect, but man is it fun. It makes me want to go make more games. Thanks, @mossmouth!

Been reading @redblobgames dev updates recently, and I feel like I absolutely need to start journaling my work and occasionally write up a blog post. Any recommendations for a self-hosted blog I won't have to spend much time tinkering with?

I can't play any more Street Fighter. This number is too cool to mess up.

Just watched the UFA Street Fighter 6 finals. The final game ended with a six throws (he went for seven) in a throw loop. This takes zero skill and is boring for both the viewers and the players. It's just stupid. Please remove this crap from the game already.

I think we've reached a level of graphics quality where I'm not worried about minor upgrades anymore. The main draw of the PS5 for me was the faster load times. I don't have any reason to upgrade to the PS5 Pro anytime soon.

Welp, it looks like the answer is no. (Regarding my last tweet.) Don't touch Flappy Bird. Fuck these guys. xitter.gq/SamNChiet/status/18342…

I don't see Dong Nguyen mentioned in any of these things. I hope he was treated well in this process.
