My partner is working evenings all weekend so barring visiting her in the morning, I'll have a lot of time to myself.
Also, I'll be looking to set up a basic static HTML/CSS page on https://sk-game-dev.neocities.org/, to have a free, simple place to keep my project(s) up to date, as I didn't renew my old hosting and domain.

I have seborrheic dermatitis (at least, that's what I was originally diagnosed with, but it could be plaque psoriasis of the scalp), and one small patch of psoriasis on my knee. I was prescribed ketokonazole for the sebderm, and Dovobet for my psoriasis. The ketokonazole did nothing this time like it used to when I was a wee child. However, I tried the dovobet on my scalp and I'm lucky enough that I'm completely clear. I've had some form of skin grossness since I was like 5 or 6, and I eventually just gave up after high school and let it get bad (a wound basically began to creep down from my scalp, past my hairline and onto my forehead and I just accepted it)

I'm going to try to work on my plat/action prototype, as I want to refine all the mechanics into a state machine, which is something I'm not very familiar with doing, as well as find a feasible method for level shifting, as I don't have one yet.
The level shifting thing is tough because it cannot function entirely the same way that a Zelda NES/GB style one would, due to variable level sizes affecting the camera. Unfortunately there's not a lot of tutorials for that in Godot.

Just building out the game's functionality and testing everything, but here are some screenshots (they're Discord links but hopefully they work):
Current state with two characters, an X type named Bob and a Zero type named Dot

xstresedg Link ParentI scored 90%. I may have missed one or two prior to the static images, but I feel like I only had a 50% rating on the staticy ones. Some were obvious to me when staticed, but others were guesses.I scored 90%. I may have missed one or two prior to the static images, but I feel like I only had a 50% rating on the staticy ones.

I'll be spending the mornings with my partner as she is working evenings. Then I have two weeks off of work for some staycay, so hopefully put some more oomph into some devving.

However, this would be giving us time to find a permanent, clean solution: clean energy, tokamak-like technology, or something else we don't know about yet.

My coworker's step daughter was looking for her first car and fell in love with the G6 when she saw it lol The sale was made official today.
Not sure what else is going on, to be honest. Spending time with my partner, but otherwise no plans.
I've yet to start back up on my game dev project. I just haven't made time for it. I'm going to try to get the next couple weeks off for a staycation and probably take a run at it during that time.

xstresedg Link ParentI'd say, while it may be some dehydration, you could also be under-salted. You could have been missing some (or a lot of) potassium and magnesium.I'd say, while it may be some dehydration, you could also be under-salted.

At 30, a single day of hangover recovery does not happen anymore.
Spent the whole weekend minus the evening on Sunday with my partner. She was wonderful in helping me survive the weekend hahaha.

I'm also a heathen and add pepper and ketchup.

Comment on Forever 21 Under Fire for Including Atkins Diet Bars With Orders in ~life
I did. I forked some CMS-like tool over, it had a Zelda inspired name I think. I can't remember what it was called. I had trouble getting it to work, plus as far as I had read my entire fork was publicly visible a la free Github, though I could have mistook that for something else.
I saw someone on here reference Neocities so I'm going to give them a try.
