Re-watched 𝘚𝘦𝘹𝘺 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 (2000) for probably the 5th time last night, first time in a decade. Great film. Still holds up. Glazer directs Virtual Insanity, then it. All the performances are superb.

I need to watch the 2024 series.

I'm a year older today, so here's a fact about me. 𝘎𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘢 is my favorite film for a myriad of reasons. Have a great day!

Been tinkering and reading up on how Neo Turf Masters was made. They're wizards. Very cool how a lot of it is done.

I made a little bird feeder sorta simulation thing in

- birds fly around for 7 seconds
- eating feed gains 1HP ❤️
- not finding food loses 1 HP

I made an app to help track your job applications across various sites. I used to use a Google Sheet, and figured it can be an app, so here it is.

More features inbound. And yes, its named after Loffrey (Rofel) Wodring for the fellow Zodiac Braves.

onthemorrow.app

I made my own little project + task tracker, called "Morrow". Consider it a 0.0.1 release, so there may be a bug or two.

- Create projects
- Projects have timeframes & priority levels
- Create tasks
- Tasks have weight and are dependent on others

Enjoy!

@rafcolantonio.bsky.social @harvey1966.bsky.social It was really great to see the "dev commentary playthrough" of Dishonored come across my YouTube suggestions.

Its easily in my top 3 games, ever. Thank you, merci.

I made www.scribe.club

In my @haxeflixel.bsky.social game I'm working on, I have a lot of #JSON stuff that was getting disorganized. I wanted to be able to reference things, in a "SQL-like" fashion.

I know other cool tools exist out there, but this one is mine (no account needed).

Tinkering in @haxeflixel.bsky.social . "3D" ball bouncing.
- LEFT/RIGHT arrows to move
- Hold SPACEBAR to power up
- Click "Add Ball" to well, add another ball

I miss that late 90's, what I call, "page torn" UI and menus
- game is PGA Tour 97 (EA Sports)
- 1996 ESPN 2 coverage of MLB game 4 ALDS*

Its just so much more vibrant and unique than everything today.

*also really like various letters being capitalized on the title

@renaudbedard.bsky.social 👋 good to see you on here. I've been finding more and more Merv (I had a sabbatical from social media for a long while).

@aeriform.bsky.social 👋 "jay" from Merv those years ago. Nice to see you on here.

@somni.us 👋 "jay" from Merv Slack way back in the day. Hello again! (I was sans-social media, Mastodon included, for some time)
