I think mascot characters are probably my biggest special interest of all, though I'm clearly interested in specific kinds so maybe there's a better descriptor?

I'm generally interested in the cute animal-y ones with simple but effective designs (especially with theming!! Especially when that th...

I put off trying Neopets again for a long time because the way people talked about it made it seem not worth trying, but I think either I got the wrong impression or the change of ownership actually had a big effect for the better.

People made it sound like the Neopets site was all broken (due to...

Back when I was working on Nova the Squirrel for NES, I thought it would be cool to add some multiplayer stuff, because back then I was hoping to make a cartridge of the game, and I wanted the cart to provide a lot of fun even if it was the only one someone had. So I put in a quick Dr.Mario clone,...

There's a really pretty park near where I live named Promenade Park that is built around showcasing Fort Wayne's rivers, and there's a space there for events as well as a restaurant, and the restaurant that has been there has shifted a few times but it's currently "TEDS Snack + Bar" which opened las...

I've been doing a bunch of work on Tilemap Town and I figured I'd make a big changelog both to show it off and also to show to myself that I've done a lot of work on it. This is all within the past month or so. This excludes stuff I've already shown off here I think?

3DS and web client:

I thought it would be helpful to be able to mark that there's an event currently going on in a Tilemap Town map, like how IRC channels have topics and how Discord voice channels let you set a topic for what you're currently talking about. So obviously I named it the same as what IRC calls it.

So n...

I added a feature to Tilemap Town's web client where the game can switch what graphic a tile uses based on what tiles are next to it, to make it look connected to them. I designed it in a way where if your client doesn't support the feature (like how the 3DS one is somewhat behind as far as featur...

Tilemap Town takes a short, but noticeable amount of time to load on the 3DS, which is a combination of me not implementing websocket compression yet (because wslay doesn't do it for you and it's not trivial to add, and I couldn't find examples of people doing it), and the 3DS's download speeds jus...

I had a realization awhile ago that I might actually be driven to do homebrew stuff for very different reasons and with very different motivation behind it than most, which could explain part of why I seem to approach things very differently from other people (mostly in the form of emphasizing acces...

I got a TV antenna while back, and Cyberchase (on the PBS Kids channel) is probably the most interesting thing that comes on, and I've been trying to catch it whenever it does. I like the idea of people going "into the Internet" to solve problems, and the premise is still cool to me even though th...
