considering learning the trumpet
i keep getting recommended videos from vice about weed because ONE TIME i watched a video wherein tyler the creator learned where maple syrup comes from
y'know what actually i brought this on myself
suddenly extremely tired. stream tonight is gonna be fun
video tutorials are virtually useless for actually learning things, almost completely un-localizable, difficult to update, and way less accessible than text tutorials. MAKE TEXT TUTORIALS
STOP MAKING VIDEO TUTORIALS FOR SOFTWARE
STOP BEING LAZY AND WRITE DOCUMENTATION
i bought shader forge, look forward to some new and exciting garbage coming your way
me: i wonder if the harry potter thing would work with my most recently played steam game
me: .... "Harry Potter and the Divekick".
a lot of these books i have in my room work pretty well with the harry potter thing
Harry Potter and The Enormous Room
Harry Potter and The Last Summer of Reason
Harry Potter and uh... Frankenstein?
this project is heavily inspired by You're In Space And Everyone Wants You Dead, my favorite GBJAM game (though i'm looking to go for more of a chill vibe than that game) https://adamgryu.itch.io/youre-in-space
after looking up a significant amount of help online i've got mouselook working! and you can jump between planets! there's a tendency to uh, fall into orbit around them, but that may be a feature and not a bug. https://witches.town/media/UOuwdKWmuTcb2B_9vIA
i mean like i actually do know what quaternions are, like i understand the idea of 4d complex numbers and i kinda understand what "i^2 + j^2 + k^2 = ijk = -1" means but actually representing rotations with them is beyond me
i'm worried on like a deep level that making this work right is going to involve me actually understanding quaternions, and that's just unacceptable
got walking on the surface of a sphere working but i can't get mouse look to work on a sphere. if i can get this all working though it'll be super cool https://witches.town/media/doYvi0_8sSjgMncDmUs

currently visiting the most lynchian apartment complex i have ever laid eyes on. there has definitely been a murder here.
yo what the fuck was the deal with grimace
i barely slept last night and was dead tired before getting into bed, now it's 3am and you might have noticed i'm still awake i am a giant squid of anger
when i google how to do something and the first result's page title includes the words "Calculus III", i know i've fucked up
i was trying to make a character controller that could walk around a sphere and i accidentally fell into orbit around the sphere

am i just trying to run away from procgen because i feel like there's backlash against it? i don't know. i think i know that i want to tell stories and that the stories i want to tell would benefit from handcrafted levels. but maybe i shouldn't want to tell stories? i'm not very good at that. how do i best reconcile my desire to tell interesting stories with games with my complete inability to tell good stories/fascination with the purity of systems?
