I wanted to post this drawing from a while ago on the day of the nintendo direct, when We Love Katamari REROLL got announced, but couldn’t find it. I found it today while browsing my files, enjoy.

I think I’m gonna be sharing more artwork. I’ll try to figure out a flow that works nicely for me and generates a nice gallery. [Read more...]

Discord servers and open-source projects

Just read this cohost post about a common phenomenon in online projects: Discord servers for help & support, and just service lock-in in general, I suppose.

I specially like this quote:

[…] we’ve normalized not logging in. At this point, I don’t think you can get anyone to log into anything, ever again, unless they believe that “all their friends are there.” Whether that’s literal - as in a new social network - or figurative - as in “1200 users, wow, this must be a great resource” - the friction of getting someone to sign up has to be colossal in this foul year of our lord.

I’ve read a related blog post a couple days ago - this one. (“Please don’t use Discord for FOSS projects”)

Only slightly related, I’ve been hanging out on the melonland forum, and it’s been really fun.

I made a wiki for one of my favourite games :D

Make 10: A Journey of Numbers is one of my favourite video games… I must admit that the main reason is nostalgia. I could talk about it for hours; the problem is that barely anyone has heard of it! In an attempt to fix that, I’ve started a wiki for the game! I now have a space to freely infodump on an obscure game that I love and help others discover it >:)
