 Spending my lunch break playing with a new-to-me thing for making gantt charts.

Idk whether to thank @d3bd6f4b or unfollow them for doing this to me. 
 Finally, let's get this thing back on track #totp 
 nostr:npub1nhwkrnfzcrf452kjmuulfqfquw7mhfxj3ys2h0k75kdq3xspm6xs6gg2sy Yeah, well I need to watch ... 
 @ffabe43d I feel that! 
 A really weird thing that stops me from playing more with #Godot is the naming of Scenes. I know,... 
 @ffabe43d We all have our lines in the sand! 😅 
 @0ae49f5d Happy birthday to you! 🥳 
 @64cce771 The rules are different on a Saturday, anything pre-3pm is still basically morning. 
 Am I extremely biased? Yes. But have the 90s absolutely won this round? Also yes. #totp 
 A big episode for waistcoats- Andy's looks like his mum knitted it #totp 
 @4dbc6fea Knitting is very cool these days how dare you 
 What an absolute tune #totp 
 It's not often I get to say this, so just let me have it. But I seem to be way too young for this episode, think Blue Monday is only the second song I've even recognised! #totp 
 Update: Three songs! #totp 
 @f49d8e7c went to the loo during Bowie and I believe that may be a shunning offence. Thoughts? #totp 
 At least we have each other. We'll make it through this. #totp 
 How much should we be wiggle wiggling it? A little bit? #TOTP 
 @bf3866a1 I believe it's the consistency of the wiggling that is key 
 I've had that Alex Party song in my head for the last three weeks running... which, in this endle... 
 @f49d8e7c Make that four, then #totp 
 @adb4dabc Just about to pick up my sock knitting to get me through Celine lol, we are totally cool. 
 Marti Pellow and ruining otherwise banging episodes, name a better duo #totp 
 @bf3866a1 The fact that you took the time to add alt text is peak Mastodon and I bloody love it. 
 #totp eclectic mix tonight that's for sure 
 @6ac9caba Feels like this episode was made for me. I'm sure it won't last. 
 Normally feel a bit shortchanged when they have the slower songs on, but I could listen to Thom Yorke singing forever. #totp 
 The Bends is another of those mid-90s albums I played to death #totp 
 @4dbc6fea Literally not a bad song on it #totp 
 Wait, are these lads going to strip off? #totp 
 @4dbc6fea Opportunity missed 
 After a week of way too much housework and not being allowed pizza, I am currently eating pizza. And now a song that makes me feel like a kid dancing round my bedroom again. That's the shit.

 @f49183e0 Oh god yes thankfully my project is solo and very much a prototype so in theory will be much better constructed by the time it's ever public. But we shall see, of course 😅 
 The problem with my "build the scrappiest possible version you can think of and don't worry about what that means for your future" approach to game development is that occasionally, just occasionally, you realise the future has arrived.

 @46281ca2 Mince pies are actually rank so if anyone foists some on me, I'll give you a shout. 
 In the name of research, of course, I've been scoffing mince pies since 30th of August. Hey, it's... 
 @46281ca2 Boosted in the name of SCIENCE.

 @46281ca2 You did have to entirely change your engine. Although I had nearly 3 months off, so maybe we're even 😁

 @b50ccc18 Just let me feel like a rebel! 

(also thank you :D) 
 I've made a terrible mistake!

Finally added visible bridges to connect the hexes, so my little capsule fellas are no longer floating weirdly over the gaps.

But now instead of working on it more, I just keep watching them mill around town aimlessly. Oops! 😅 

p.s. yes I'm doing #ScreenshotSaturday on a Sunday and you can't stop me.

 TFW your #ScreenshotSaturday looks almost exactly the same as last week 😅 

In my defence, last week every hex tile connected on every side. Now, they'll randomly generate connections so our little capsule folks have to take more interesting routes. 

No idea what the official approach to something like this is, so my code is probably terrible. But you know what, it works.

 First commit to my city builder project since June 30th.

Feels good man 😎

 @46281ca2 You're a bad influence, but you do make a compelling argument 🤔 
 nostr:npub1nhwkrnfzcrf452kjmuulfqfquw7mhfxj3ys2h0k75kdq3xspm6xs6gg2sy oh, sorry to hear that! Hop... 
 @46281ca2 Thanks, we're all good. I'm coping mostly through deep cleaning the house, and eating way too much bread. Which as coping mechanisms go, could probably be worse! 

Still hope to get a bit of gamedev time in this weekend ofc but we shall see! 
 nostr:npub1nhwkrnfzcrf452kjmuulfqfquw7mhfxj3ys2h0k75kdq3xspm6xs6gg2sy did you get your submission... 
 @46281ca2 Ok, right, I did not submit in the end. Didn't even try for late submission!

BUT I am absolutely going to play the "husband was having surgery on Wednesday and it's been very traumatic and I had more important things to be getting on with, the jam was just to distract me from my anxiety spiral for a bit" card, so nobody is allowed to judge me 😅 

(Surgery went well, but the whole thing was terrifying, 0/10 would not recommend) 
 Going to skip the 70s and watch Cool Runnings instead, apparently! 

I'm ok with this.

Enjoy, #totp folks, see you next week! 
 You can judge the quality of a #totp episode by how much of it you spend bopping along awkwardly in your dressing gown. And I have done a lot of that in the last 20 minutes.

Unfortunately you can also tell the quality of a number one by the realtime toots of people who aren't on an iPlayer delay.

 @949f0d57 Tbf I can actually understand that one more! 
 Have to admit I'm a sucker for anything with a good whistle in it. And for once I'm not being sarcastic. #totp 
 #totp feed is the first time I've realised some people don't like Faith No More. Everything I thought I knew about the world is wrong. 
 nostr:npub1nhwkrnfzcrf452kjmuulfqfquw7mhfxj3ys2h0k75kdq3xspm6xs6gg2sy LOL.

 @f1ee7a25 Clearly you need to headbang harder 
 Who is still buying this Scarlet single, exactly? #totp 
 @4dbc6fea It's found a new fan in our house just through sheer amount of TOTP coverage. Still winning over hearts and minds in 2023. 
 @409de9cc We've all been this guy for a support act when everyone's there to see the headliner. Honestly, respect to the fella #totp 
 Way to bring the mood down #totp 
 Everybody else try to whistle along there really badly, or just me? #TOTP 
 @c90e40fe I am whistling in a very talented manner thank you very much

 @f1ee7a25 I'll live 😀 
 Bring back Cotton Eye Joe! #TOTP 
 Tonight's movie marathon is brought to you by...Top of the Pops last night?

Not something I expected to be saying *ever*, never mind in 2023.

 Trying to convince husband that "I think I accidentally started an indie #GameDev studio today" isn't as alarming as he thinks.
