Dark Souls turns 15 years old this week (ish, NA release was Oct. 4), and I thought it would be fun to replay it on the 360 again, with 10 fps in Blighttown just as Miyazaki intended. 🥴

Without fail, every time I get back into working in my own engine, I relearn the muscle memory of reflexively hitting Ctrl+Shift+B to build the entire solution after every change, and then I go back to Unreal and accidentally do that there and no no no that's not what you want to do in unreal

Manhattan has never faced a crisis like this. Reality has been twisted and bent by an invading cosmic force. Only Dylan Faden can stop this paranatural geophysical nightmare.

just casually refactoring my entire engine to avoid doing ui work
menu system ➡️ cascading property sheets ➡️ type-agnostic storage ➡️ type object interface ➡️ scripting language restoration ➡️ variadic template string functions ➡️ move constructors ➡️ user data paths ⬅️ i am this far into the malcolm in the middle lightbulb gag
