I like this idea that The Acolyte is setting up why the Jedi are under so much oversight in the prequels. They jank this up so hard that the Senate is going to be like... Look guys, maybe you have to follow the letter of republic law.

Last night I figured out camera edge panning, but today I need to figure out how I'm going to move around a group of guys like a little swarm, think Olimar and the Pikmin. I can barely get one character to move properly, moving a mob in gdscript may drive me mad.

I KNOW there is an easier way to do screen edge panning, but every godot guide on the topic is about click panning, and I was losing my mind so I decided to just do it the ugly way.

It is like 4am, but I've finally taken the time to finish unicorn overlord. Pretty sure I made those final bosses harder on myself than they needed to be. Thank goodness I hoarded so many items.

I have been trying to cut down on overeating and calories, all year in fact. But I am pretty sure that the cosmos is conspiring to halt my weight-loss progress. Last few months, I have been given free donuts no less than 6 times. Not a single donut either, it is always 3 to 12. Absolute madness.

Realizing I haven't really used Linkedin for like a decade. Had to log into it to help the wife, and saw posts from old classmates from college like... wow.

Acolyte Episode 5 spoilers and such. Now THAT was some choreo. I think that is the most brutal Star Wars has allowed itself to be in a long while. Also, this is definitely going to solve people's problems with Ki-Adi-Mundi's lines in the prequels, no one will report this.

Stroll in the rain

The Acolyte episode four has a whole lot of people googling the lifespan of Cereans, which is really magical.

I can't believe they opened the direct with a new Mario & Luigi, stellar stuff.

Was testing out some code for a turn based tactical game. Mostly an amalgamation of a bunch of guides I've been reading so far. Hit... well it works for what I need. but it does end up being a bunch of lines just to say 'hey, see if they miss'.

A bold headline, but it really is weird watching an episode of star wars and instead of finding fun fan discussion, half the content is people full lf the worst vitriol you've ever seen. How did we make disliking stuff an industry? www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

10 Years Later, The Newest Star Wars Show Has Restarted an Annoying Old Debatewww.inverse.com Lucasfilm’s latest series is the franchise’s best yet, but fans are too blinded by their hate to see it.

Whenever a force witch gets to do something in Star Wars it is always the hypest thing that we have ever seen. This is what we are deprived of because everything is about the jedi and sith when it comes to the force. #THEACOLYTE

Okay but... How did Torbin get his scar? I get the feeling we are going to be flashing back here again soon.#theacolyte

Entering my 'messing around with Godot' phase of my life.

Just got my shipping confirmation for ARCS, time to finally get our third @ledergames.bsky.social game! Just in time to back the Oath expansion.

I'm dreading playing master duel this weekend now that Fire King has been added.

The only thing that makes The Acolyte better, is watching the fandom menace flounder around trying to find stuff to hate about it.

It is amazing how big a tip it is to tell young men to 'make friends with a woman, just because you like them as a person.' The weird woman-hating culture building up, especially among nerds, weirds me out. youtu.be/GHkhTIEe254?...

New Boruto, old memes.

Decided to think about post-by-post roleplay for a bit. Oh man, I used to actually post stories twice a month, wild! open.substack.com/pub/blacksta...

Digging to the Core of a Gameopen.substack.com I'm doing some self-reflection and thinking about post-by-post roleplay.

One of the downsides of bsky is that the Star Wars community here is just as bad as the bird app. Less fascism I guess, but the same tired comments as if they are still scoring brownie points for disliking the sequels release. There has been so much more Star Wars since then!

It is weird how comfortable a select few people are with being cartoonishly evil. Not even like the normal person I might hard disagree with, but I mean the social media vampires who take terrible stances because it is their ticket to fame. Like, would you be a nazi for the clicks? Wth

The Kendrick/Drake beef have distracted me from enjoying Tales of the Empire. Okay Dave Filoni, why did you delete the Witches of Dathomir if you were just going to bring them back a decade later?
