Untitled Platformer Post #2

Posted on December 7, 2022February 13, 2024 by Joshua

Blog post #2 is a pretty short one. I’ve spent the time redoing the sprites in the game and making them more of my own. I even added a little gun shooting animation. It was pretty hard to figure out how I wanted to pose and key frame it. I hope y’all like the way it looks.

Untitled Platformer Dev Blog 1

Posted on December 5, 2022December 5, 2022 by Joshua

 Hello there! I am not sure when this blog post will go up but I have decided to start writing dev blogs for my currently in the works 2D platformer that will be a donationware game. It currently doesn’t have a title. It’s interesting getting back into programming an actual game. My last game was a text based adventure and before that I was just working on a Breakout clone following an online lesson too much. Speaking of which, this too started out as an online lesson. However, I didn’t like how the instructor was making the game. This caused me to forge my own path throughout most of the class.

AVGN Movie Conceptually Fucked?

Posted on October 24, 2022October 24, 2022 by Joshua

I remember when the Angry Video Game Nerd(AVGN) announced he was making a movie. Out of everyone I knew who liked the AVGN, I was the only person who thought the movie was a retarded idea. The movie came out and it was a pile of buffalo diarrhea. Despite how the movie turned out I actually think I was wrong. See, I thought the idea of an AVGN movie was retarded. People now say the same thing, “How could you make a movie about the AVGN?” They dismiss the idea just like I did. Recently I was thinking about it and realized there could be a few ideas about an AVGN movie that could work. Don’t question what I think about in my free time.

Eternally Doomed

Posted on October 15, 2022October 15, 2022 by Joshua

Are there ever times where you feel like the entire world is playing a trick on you? That’s how I feel about Doom Eternal. I don’t understand how people like Doom Eternal to such a degree that I feel like Ashton Kutcher will break into my house to scream that I’ve been Punk’d by the entire world, revealing the series reboot at the same time. Even reviewers I like, and usually agree with, like Civvie 11 praised the game like the second coming of Christ, but now I wonder how.  This isn’t me being a contrarian either. I think people are just attached to the idea of Doom that they are overlooking a lot of glaring flaws with the game.

Why the hell did we want the Scott Pilgrim VS The World game back?

Posted on October 7, 2022October 7, 2022 by Joshua

Why the hell did we want the Scott Pilgrim VS The World game back? I remember loving it when it first came out. It was a blast. I wasn’t even a fan of the series. I never read the comics. I bought the game before seeing the movie and I got a lot of my friends in college to buy it as well. All of us would play it non-stop for a while and we loved it. We bought the DLC and everything. When it came time to beg for it to come back I was right there begging with everyone else. I loved it in college! I wanted to buy it and play it with friends again, but… why…? The game is awful.

Banned From Trolls For Trolling

Posted on September 9, 2022September 11, 2022 by Joshua

There are times where I am writing something and then something new happens so I wind up writing something new. Even if the other thing I am writing is close to done. Then something new happens and this keeps repeating. I have blog posts that are so old now that I have no idea what I was writing. Right now I am writing something I’ve never written before.Trying to get the format down for a new subject is interesting, but takes while to get right. However, some shit just popped up that left me floored so much that I feel required to write this. What is it? I was recently banned from Poast. What’s Poast? A free speech platform for trolls. What was I banned for? A troll from AOL chatroom days.

Shut up about SBMM

Posted on August 27, 2022September 11, 2022 by Joshua

Do you know the one thing you can always count on with the internet? People arguing about shit they know nothing about. This happens to such a level that people have posted classified government documents about tanks on the World of Tanks forums, three times. Today’s post isn’t anything nearly to that level, but it was a funny factoid that’s somewhat related. Instead I will talk about gamers bitching about Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) because they suck ass at games. Yes, I will go over the few valid complaints of SBMM.

Why I don’t write about life in China

Posted on June 30, 2022June 30, 2022 by Joshua

For those who don’t know: I am an American expat living in China. People often think I am lying about this, or are shocked by it. Some people will ask me questions about life in China and I will sometimes answer their questions. I try to avoid this topic as there are no benefits if I talk about it. If anything, it almost always results in negatives. However, there’s two things I want to talk about. I’ll write about the other one next time. Right now, I feel it’s important to talk about why I don’t talk about life in China because even with me saying what I just said there will be people who are already trying to take it out of context. I’ve seen it countless times when describing life here.

Camelot331 is a con artist

Posted on June 1, 2022June 1, 2022 by Joshua

People who know me know I am oddly out of touch with internet drama. I follow certain things because they’re hilarious, but that’s about it. I find the entire Ethan Ralph situation to be hilarious. That is why I follow it. I do not think DarkSidePhyll, Ethan from H3, Keemstar, or any other drama cows are funny. So, I do not follow them and generally just get a best of about their mooings on the internet. However, one person swept me up right away when they started causing drama. This person was Camelot331. However, by his sixth video some major cracks started to show and within 3 months the con was so obvious I am still shocked people haven’t figured it out.

When I did Keto and Intermittent fasting

Posted on May 30, 2022May 30, 2022 by Joshua

In my last post I talked about how I used to be very fat. I am still fat. I am starting my weight loss journey again to lose these last 30 LBS. Lots of people have suggested two things to me: Keto diet and intermittent fasting. I’ve seen my friend Ben lose lots of weight on the Keto diet. I’ve also seen some friends gain weight on it; they were following it exactly. I’ve also done both of these in the past. However, I did intermittent fasting by accident. Both of these were resounding failures for my health and I had to stop.
