@cinnamon oh same

i still can't draw circles reliably, even though everything i draw tends to be made entirely out of them :ms_mild_panic:

i sometimes do this thing where i give birds extra space when i'm walking so they don't need to fly and waste energy

but thinking about it, i guess it probably looks more like i'm just scared of birds

@codl is that the version that absolutely insists you use -p for ports?

gradle sure has a lot of documentation that assumes i already know all the conventions of the things it's introducing me to

@noiob gosh, i ended up learning some of the new positions for keys before i knew that shortcut was a thing

i eventually just started setting my computers to use US keyboard settings because it didn't install any secondary layouts for languages i didn't know

@FreyaManibrandr gosh, i feel you

starting projects is basically a hobby of mine, but doing anything beyond that? hah, oof

art is nicer because it's so much easier to finish the things you start compared to a big 'ol gamedev project

@monorail i think especially hard about accomplishing things some days

honest day's work

@nihilazo yeaaaah

it's actually kinda terrifying how much someone can do in bad faith if you find yourself in a place where they are actually motivated to do that

this is part of the reason why curating your spaces is important for reasons beyond protecting those around you and for your own mental health

scarves are the best!

i've never tried to draw them before, and i'm not sure how much i'll tweak this before i start coloring it, but i feel like i did a lot better than i was expecting here ^^

re: video game music (particularly gameboy) 

@karma oh wow

that slaps

birdsite embedding 

turns out, twitter timelines are actually a pretty-okay way to have dynamic galleries on static sites

it's not perfect, but adding new stuff to this is extremely low-effort--and has less inertia for me than adding a bit of markdown to my jekyll repo whenever i put up something new
