I tried ketchup flavored chips again and actually liked them a lot, which surprises me since I remember disliking them.

I noticed I actually rarely feel out of place for being a girl anymore. I'm not sure if it's my surroundings improving or me simply finding better surroundings but I'm thankful.

Here's a cleaned-off desk, where my squirrel print from last year's IndyFurCon can decorate my room much better now.

Actually taking some time to clean my room and make it so my desks are actually usable as desks again.

https://t.me/cleanfurryrp18 Gonna try and start this at least. I tried starting a regular SFW roleplay group and it got flooded with minors and feels super unsafe.

I also have an ace-friendly transformation group if anyone wants an invite to that (~30 people). It's inactive though.

Now and then I really wish there were more of a place in the furry fandom for adults who want somewhere cleaner to socialize. It's really unfriendly to ace people as-is.

In-game level editor in FHBG GB now lets you set the number of needed chips (if needed) and a limit on the number of simultaneous enemies. #gamedev

I made a small Serious Sam map that actually puts more effort into being a good map for two or three people, as opposed to the very big maps I've seen. Oh, and I had fun picking textures as always. Hopefully I can actually try it out with a real person soon.

I love how you can just buy a big bag of rye chips on their own. Like "we know this is the best part of Chex Mix, let's not kid ourselves about what you're really after"

Actually dug out FHBG GB again to work on it a bit, and I added a pole block type for decoration. I should work on that again. #gamedev

Bikes are really nice for the freedom they give you if you don't have a car, but they're terrifying trying to get home at night with.

Tilemap Town's got an inventory now that's actually saved on the server. It's pretty minimal now, and you can't actually upload images or define tilesets but both exist.

Folders (stylized as chests) are also functional, though they currently just dump their contents into the same unordered list instead of doing a neater indented thing yet.

I'm picking Serious Editor back up and I'm working on even shitpostier Serious Sam deathmatch maps, with a bit more real thought put into them, and many more Isabelle pictures.

Though, I kinda want to try something completely serious (no pun intended) again like my Faceball map recreation. I've been peeking through my music collection for good background music, trying to decide what kinda themes they inspire.

Still working on adding a proper inventory to Tilemap Town, though at this point all that's really left is client-side code. THAT's going to take a bit of effort since it's going to require UI stuff.

I still love how any random person can just buy and own uranium. I have some in my room in a box.

This is paired up with not having found a job yet and having recently graduated, so I spend the day mostly alone with my thoughts and they go in unhealthy directions if I can't distract myself, self reflecting on why people must not find me interesting enough to talk to, or telling myself that people who haven't been able to find time for me (but have for other people) don't care about me anymore...

And no one I talk to knows how to help. I guess that's why it's leaking over here.

I've been feeling very lonely for a very long time and most of my friends have slowly gotten too busy or too depressed to spend time together anymore. I've been trying to open myself up to new communities to give myself more social opportunuties but they're either dead or I just get ignored...

I feel like Lego Racers' ideas deserve a better implementation than they got. I haven't played the sequel, but at least in the first game there's no opponent AI and the way you build your car doesn't change anything.

I do know the second game gets rid of the really neat powerup system though. I liked the idea of picking up a base powerup and deciding to use it or wait until you've enhanced it to use it, though I guess if you can just continually warp maybe it's a little broken.

I finally bought a non-stick pizza pan and it's just incredibly easier to clean because things don't burn onto the pan, and when you pick up a slice there's never little bits of the slice sticking to the pan. Definitely more than worth the extra few dollars it costs.

Isabelle from Animal Crossing makes me happy. She's so cute!
