She's been wading in my creek before, but this is her first time in water over her head.

For future fetches, we moved to the other side of the ramp where there is an eddy current, just in case.

Back in the not so distant beforetimes, I was a part of a community which occasionally hosted goofy "karaoke" nights. Basically, we'd all just use vocaroo or whatever service and upload ourselves singing whatever, or trying to pronounce words from one another's languages/dialects/accents.

I recorded a parody of Baby Got Back(yt tracker removed, re-uploaded from an archived capture) based on someone else's parody verse, the Aussies would all come in and say g'day and Mell-bern, we'd all try to speak Swedish, and it was a pretty good time.

Showing you guys that song may get me kicked out of that community, but I hope not.

If anyone here is from there by chance, tell TMW I said the anniversary of the retirement of his space helmet is coming up. I wanna say August 19.

And tell Airport I said sup.

"Last year, Red Lobster reported $11 million in operating losses following its flubbed 'Ultimate Endless Shrimp' deal, which backfired when it reeled in too many customers after the limited-time promo became a permanent menu fixture last June. The restaurant chain later reported $12.5 million in losses in the fourth quarter of 2023."

I've been learning development in Godot for a few weeks, and I'm building a little old-school rage game to go along with my lessons.

I'm getting to the point where I'm doing things that are complex enough that I'm convinced I'm learning things incorrectly - or at least inefficiently.

Do you guys struggle with this? It feels pretty typical of my learning experiences, but I've never really asked about it before. Maybe I'm learning things wrong.

If anyone wants to take a look at my project, I've got it on itch, here. I love feedback.

Just keep in mind that it's a WIP and that I've only been coding since February 8.

Thank you!

So, I decided to start learning how to use Godot and GDScript, and I've been building a little (currently) mobile / browser game to go along with my lessons.

3 levels are currently complete-ish, and I have been doing a little bit of visual cleanup/mechanics polishing before moving on to my next goal.

I guess I'm just looking for ideas to finish-out the overall look and feel of the game. For instance, I'm missing any sort of settings page, so all of the volumes are currently premixed - and poorly so. All of the gameplay sound effects are either my mouth or a Pringles can, jsyk.

Anyways, if nothing else, I hope you try it and find it somewhat amusing. I have big plans for it, including several genre swaps - just depends on when I learn what right now, really.

I appreciate your time.
