    bitsy game jam submission at wonderville

    another game jam at wonderville. there quite fun, as a non-designer. as with last game jam submission, my work on this was mostly writing: a heavily worldbuilt absurd world, with more connections and resonances than you’d ever need. give it a look below:

    finally updated my list of publications, first time in years

    i think i missed some things, but that’s alright. i’m a semi-professional writer. that means being messy is a boon

    why is the dominant aesthetic form of so much web-art brutalist?

    its always plain text, default font, white background. its checkerboard transparent stand-ins, equal-width characters, source code visibility a must. i feel it pretends to a sort of transparent modernism, a text describing its own creation apparatus, but why then does it seem to me so nostalgic? these are all signifiers of old ways of using the computer, old by the time i got my first laptop (which was a very long time ago now). it feels like a stranger letting you know something awful dot com is the originator of online culture, not 4chan like you were taught. i guess it comes off like a pose, is what it feels like. i’m not coddled byt the convenience of modern computing, it tells you. i’m an operator, eyes inside

    brought on by seeing this, though really this is a reaction to almost everything, a tantrum of things i dont understand

    ren'py game jam submission at wonderville

    this weekend i participated in a game jam at wonderville. we had 2hrs to learn ren’py and make a game with it. in my team, i did the writing. all this below was in ~1hr, no erasing, no thinking ahead. it was fun, huh

    also, note, it doesnt actually use any ai. that’s a lie, or maybe an attemt to seem more modern

    this is now a place for completing projects

    i swear unto you, i will now be completing projects

    remember

    scrolling is a form of rumination. ruminations a turtles way of setting in

    Testing out TinaCMS

    As an excuse to post more on here, I’m trying out TinaCMS. Expect either:

    1. More posts, as they are easier to make
    2. Less posts, as I can now ~tinker~
