Finally switched back to my second generation Chromecast today cause I just just cannot deal with how unreliable and buggy the gen 3 "Chromecast With Google Tv" is. What a prime example of product bloat making something actively less usable.

Another #ProjectWeirdLittleGuy #ScreenshotSaturday update! Construction! Getting all the little visual glitches sorted was actually the biggest challenge for this one, especially making sure the raycast doesn't just hit the back of the player's head, but I'm liking this as a start to the system.

January 26 is weird for me this year. Normally I try to take some time to sit in quiet and honour those lives lost and the destruction wrought by my ancestors and those like them, and my place and responsibilities as someone who is heir to that destruction and thus tied inextricably to the lands I call home. And that's normally a quiet and very grounding moment for myself. But this year, my second January 26 living overseas, I feel so alienated from my own sense of country that I am struggling to place myself within my larger context and it's giving me a whole other kind of grief? So I guess today I'm paying respects to the first nations folk of Australia past and present and also sharing a sense of connection in disconnection with other immigrants all around the place. I hope we can all find moments of peace and grounding today.

Every time I see a picture of Keir Starmer I think it's Richard Spencer.

It seems ridiculous to be frustrated with the speed of light for being too slow but the fact that the lowest possible ping between two points on opposite sides of the earth (using glass fiber transmission) is 200ms means I'm getting annoyed at universal constants anyway.

As appears to be tradition for #ProjectWeirdLittleGuy here's a Monday #ScreenshotSaturday showing off... a crafting system! I wanted it to feel physical but also be super portable? So the result is a crafting bowl that goes in your inventory rather than a full bench that has to be actually built. And of course you hit it with a stick to do the actual crafting
