* London is an amazing city to bike around, but you don’t have to bring one, unless you plan on biking outside the central (your first trip to London, you will probably just be around the central). Biking around just made the city feel even smaller than it already does with the Underground. I had full access to London with the Undergro...

Laziness (and the curiosity that arises from it) led me to subscribe to Apple Fitness+ for the month. Low friction is what leads to a great exercise habit. The hurdle was seeing if my apartment gym has Wifi (it does), otherwise I would have been tethering it to my iPhone. I didn't want to use the iPhone because of the small screen (tho...

Here is my first (chase) scene created in Unreal Engine. https://youtu.be/WNaV7o1ltpY Struggles in starting to learn Unreal Engine (by creating a chase scene): - Getting back to your project when Unreal Engine stalls or crashes (luckily I took notes on the pathway, to get back to projects) - Correcting key-animation trajectory of chara...

Saw a great meme from Kobe Bryant about "accidental basketball." What him and Phil Jackson were starting to see in the league were more players driving mindlessly to the rim, and when they suddenly realize that is the wrong idea, pass it out to somebody out on the 3-point line to shoot. Kobe didn't say "mindless" though implied. What I...

TLDR: 2 months ago, I tore my Achilles Tendon during a Pickleball game (though I do CrossFit 4 times a week as well). I finally got surgery on it today. Don't be a bonehead like me, and think it's not as serious as it actually is and get a doctor's diagnosis immediately after the injury. Mid-October: I go to pick up the pickleball duri...

Just got my Macbook serviced. The screen had to be replaced, which means my local data would get wiped. I love visiting websites for information, but find that websites are designed to suck you in for a long time. RSS feeds allow you to dip your toes in the stream, and dive deep at your leisure. My netnewswire feed got wiped so I had t...

I booked an 8:45am flight to Las Vegas using the Oakland terminal. I usually book SFO because of the AMEX lounge, but Oakland Escape Lounge has a partnership with AMEX. I booked this later flight thinking it would give me enough time to get from Berkeley to Oakland Airport, but as I reasoned through the itinerary, BARTing from Berkeley...

Really want to see this talk from Ben Brode at the GDC, but decent summary here. I like playing games where I also learn something. That's why I want to make/play a game about Southeast Asian history. Or a game about cooking. Update: Here is the link to the talk.

My dearest of friends are getting married. My flight is at 8:50am, boarding ending at 8:30am. Up until the week prior, I figured waking up early and taking the first BART to SFO would suffice. Then, I remembered one BART trip I took one morning to take my Police Academy physical test, which got delayed by a mentally ill passenger - how...

It's just about 1 year of playing pickleball on a regular basis (3 days a week minimum for at least 2 hours, so 6 hours a week). But, if I do a true tally, it's more like 10 hours a week, now including Saturdays. Shout out to the Dars and where it all started: Booker T Anderson Park in Richmond. At first, of course I wasn't great. I do...

It's out, and I don't want to deal with configuring Blot.

* Destroy objects Nodon (configure to the object you want to destroy, in this game's particular instance: sphere) * Connect it to the Person nodon (in settings, change the action to "Punch", so your person is facing forward) * Get a Button nodon, and connect it to the Person nodon

I made a bug when I overlaid the A and B Teleporation Entrances/Exits on top of each other. The bug makes sense. This was my solution, along with erecting a wall serving as a solution that draws the eye away from the teleporation points. I could refine, but this version 1 works. I also made both walls not solid so the moving platformer...

• Counter needs to be adjusted to the dimensions of the game screen • Two boxes needs to be attached to the Free Slide Connector, one has to be switched off for visibility

Platformer I've been obsessed with (developing for) Playdate, so much so, I have been looking at GB Studio (since Playdate's SDK isn't out yet). If I were to make a platformer, it would have to do with eggs, or food, and learning more about food (to help people become more educated about how to cook and be self-sustainable). Which remi...
