Plus enjoying the cooler end of summer weather 🏖06 Sep 2026 20:21 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3muuszgmz2c2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3muumvmeujc24I'm in this picture and I don't like it 😆😅 [contains quote post or other embedded content]06 Sep 2026 18:31 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3muumvmeujc24https://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mucxcnk7m223Glad I'm already entirely off Google products entirely, but this is infuriating 😡 It is, and always will be, Lake Ontario30 Aug 2026 17:50 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mucxcnk7m223https://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mubb2zuawk23Alright, we're finally trying out Lou's Gagoon (Lou's Lagoon, as pronounced by my daughter, 4)! She's been super excited & asking, she just finished making her character. Looking great @tinyroargames.bsky.social 😄30 Aug 2026 01:39 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mubb2zuawk23https://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mtzzn52jrk2qTiny fire! This I found pretty challenging at only 8x8 px, kept finding it either too energetic or too static. But good enough for now, I'll probably adjust it more once I have it in the game properly27 Aug 2026 04:37 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtzzn52jrk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mtysklslo224Oh come on @proton.me - silently enable auto categorizing emails and not show them in the main inbox anymore? Really? I have a ton of missed email now because I had no idea they were getting automatically "sorted" into categories, and badly too. Is nothing safe from enshittification 🤬26 Aug 2026 16:58 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtysklslo224https://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mtu4obiaas2xMultitasking game dev/hockey dad😅24 Aug 2026 20:16 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtu4obiaas2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mt5bf6c6u22fWoah, woke up to a bunch of new followers! I don't have any exciting game progress to show today but new art coming SOON Also been working at getting a blog going so watch out for that, here's a little teaser of one of the article topics I have coming up coffee.coastwidesystems.com15 Aug 2026 18:09 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt5bf6c6u22fhttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mt2kibmfoc25I'm _really_ trying to get some solid game updates out but seems like every 5 min there's some tangential emergency/fire to put out Today's issue: a bird knocked out power to most of the town, then my Ubiquiti network gear shit the bed when I started powering stuff up 🤬14 Aug 2026 16:14 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt2kibmfoc25https://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mslbuard7s2lI might be doing something wrong but...podman pods in quadlets _suck_. Run the containers in independent namespaces and they're fine, but put them in a pod? *Maybe* 12h uptime before something goes screwy and the entire pod crashes08 Aug 2026 14:29 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mslbuard7s2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3msbemoydgs2sIt lives!!! PC is back in action; thankfully only the motherboard burned out & I was able to scrape together enough change for a replacement (helps that old hardware isn't ludicrously expensive). Freckles missed gaming nights as much as I did 😆 [contains quote post or other embedded content]04 Aug 2026 15:52 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3msbemoydgs2shttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3ms7a5nlnbk2aGuess it's not all bad having my PC out of commission. Still miss having a full sized monitor though, laptop screen real estate is pretty limited for gamedev03 Aug 2026 19:27 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms7a5nlnbk2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mrxlr4jfzc2fHad to head in to the city the other day with the kids & we encountered a cybertruck; my son (7) yelled out "it looks like it was designed by AI, I hope it doesn't break down in front of us!" Kid's gonna be alright 👍31 Jul 2026 18:33 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrxlr4jfzc2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mrnxn36qcs2eSo bad news on the game dev front: my PC burned out, and I can't afford a replacement. Not sure what, if anything, is salvageable but it's all older hardware so finding compatible parts won't be easy even if I could afford any of it And it takes with it a month of art assets I hadn't committed 😣😭27 Jul 2026 22:39 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrnxn36qcs2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mqujg3lbh22hDefinitely going to have to get references to these memes in Heat Retreat 😆 [contains quote post or other embedded content]17 Jul 2026 19:48 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqujg3lbh22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mqqi3yz36s27Been diverted from gamedev with some sysadmin shenanigans lately: the homelab was ailing after a long power outage and I went down a horrific rabbit hole16 Jul 2026 05:14 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqqi3yz36s27https://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mpm4z6gz7k25Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦01 Jul 2026 18:20 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpm4z6gz7k25https://bsky.app/profile/coastwide.systems/post/3mpm3twq5rs25With all the shitty news going about with digital media, here's a reminder that Heat Retreat will be 100% DRM free, forever! As for physical copies... I'd like to, but there are some pretty significant hurdles so stay tuned. I won't be stocking a Walmart isle, but maybe a limited run will be doable01 Jul 2026 17:59 +0000at://did:plc:rtbjm5k7txpjojdprweuevdn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpm3twq5rs25
