Mc unrelated: Does anyone of you guys have a TV?
Cute reminder that all your TV's track/monitor/spy on you for advertisement/user-profiling by capturing your screens c:

Samsung, TCL, LG, Roku, Vizio, Sony.. basically all do ACR, they know when&what you watch, play, or when you do work or shop

(On the LG G5, identifiable ACR-related traffic)

New world map before GTA6 lul

The UN voted for a new map projection to be used - Bye Bye Mercator, hello equal earth c:
New one comes with better country proportions and doesnt exxagerates the polar regions as much

also only now I noticed that mercator freacking placed the equator line into Algeria instead of Gabon, DRC, Kenya etc. wth xD

viewflation is some bullcrap man like wdym i gotta look in advanced mode to know what my "real" views are? (i don't even know if i always trust the "engaged" views to be the "real" views since sometimes it shows results that are pretty clearly wrong according to other factors. doesn't help that the current youtube studio is a buggy ai-coded mess.)

that said, as far as i'm concerned, view systems were kind of flawed even before this since they were still susceptible to stuff like viewbotting and all that. we bank a lot on views and yet in the end is any of it even "real"?

webdev stuff i learned today.
Was kinda confused why there were these random path requests for my site and investigated a bit.

• There are automated reconnaissance bots casually skimming through the web searching for access points / logins to webservers or backends to attack (knew about that)
• What i didnt yet know was one way how they do that, supposedly this is a "asset fingerprinting", trying to get a response from hidden web server/pages which usually doesnt respond or straightup blocks that stuff, but regardless of request sends like favicons/logos of the login page and therefor giving like a "positive" response back.

You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round

Found this doggo while going through some tech documentations xD ICANT
it has such meme potential

Festival/party outside:
They play music: yay
They hired a band: nice
They play random songs: eh okay
They play your favorite song: yay
They play it horribly: *nohoohohooo*
They play a song you dont like: it sounds great x_x

Today marks my 22nd birthday. To commemorate, I've released a special Patreon post that can be accessed by everyone, both members and non-members. Check it out below (no tiers required!):

That'll be all. Have a good rest of your day!

Currently:
playing professional "Where is Willy", on my worlds

# find the desert temple in this image lol

youtube decided to pointlessly change studio again for some reason and it's really throwing me off
like come on why did you have to do this?
just to give someone something to do?
probably not that actually considering these changes are probably the result of even more "vibe coding"
seems like just about everyday they wake up and choose violence against their own userbase

ive never ever wittnessed a storm like this
its night, and the freaking sky turned daytime

and after weeks months of drought, SO MUCH WATER holy

After a random surge in motivation, Jelly the Not-Fish 1.4 (and then 1.4.1 to fix a minor bug) has been released TODAY across TIC-80, Newgrounds, and Codeberg!

In this update, I've added a new character, Shelly (the Not-Fish), who for the time being is more or less a player skin, but in future updates may have unique mechanics. In addition, I've also added a shield powerup which allows the player to survive the impact of one bomb. The ability for shields to spawn, as well as the character you play as, can be toggled in the options menu.

If you decide to try it out, feedback for what I can improve in future versions is appreciated (but not mandatory)!

2 days ago, the first of the exclusive second monthly Patreon posts for the $5/month tier came out (that was a lot of words.) Check it out below (requires $5/month tier to access):
https://www.patreon.com/guywithabluejacket/posts/twice-stuff-166757139
From this month onwards, anyone who joins the new $5/month tier will have access to not only the monthly posts that the $3/month tier gets, but also their own exclusive second monthly posts with even more of the benefits the first ones provide. Additional benefits may be added to the new tier later on if I feel like there should be more.

I'll also promote my voice acting Fiverr gig again because a little more exposure is always helpful I suppose:

That's all for now. Have a good rest of your day.

Aside the project updates today, i finished yesterday "The Biome Composition"
Kinda a mixture of what biome is included and how big the share is, and now wondering if i can add that to my pmc project pages maybe..hmm.

https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20251214-advent-map-14#biome-composition



Also the amount of water % is craaazy, like yes my worlds are surrounded by water but it never felt like 40-50+%, more like 20-25%, i wonder if i should move the rivers to surface biomes, so the water doesnt get "over represented. But then its like xD "top" biome like whaaa

Rivers being so high mainly derives from the fact, that the "river and river banks" both classify as one biome, so they are a "little" larger than actually seen. Wondering how i should handle that ..

first (partial) solar eclipse + sunset experienced.

- its weirdly hard to grasp in the moment as you balance the *stare into the sun* with *not doing that* because: the sun is a deadly laser~
- that small ball casually covering an object 370x larger than itself lol
- or like: people have been there just a few months ago like what.

time to share my fav video about cosmic distance ladders and how some mega brains did the math like 500..1000.. and 2000 years ago #damn

that really expensive power cable getting rerouted into a bronze age burial site all because the harry potter fandom wanted it to avoid the "grave" of someone who doesn't exist is proof that we should quit burying our dead and just eat them instead

working on the next one, almost done, spent all day on this

it surely could be better but im not sure how hmmm

tried to improve my mountain styles, textures and silhouettes, only to be covered up by shadows, clouds and forests x_x

3 days ago, the monthly Patreon post dropped, so here it is ($3/month tier or higher to access):
https://www.patreon.com/guywithabluejacket/posts/stuffus-augustus-166054849
In addition, a new $5/month tier has been introduced, which gives anyone who joins an exclusive second monthly post with more of the benefits the other one gives. The first of the $5/month posts will probably be posted sometime around August 16th. On other notes, my birthday is on the 21st, so expect a freebie post around that time.

Also going to promote my voice acting Fiverr gig again because why not:
https://www.fiverr.com/tobias_keevers/voice-act-for-your-project-american-or-british-accent
I've kind of been reminded that I should probably release more of my own productions involving voice acting, not merely to prop up this gig but because voice acting is fun and I'd like to do more of it. I've kind of already released a few things involving that in recent months, and I hope to continue doing so.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading, and have a good rest of your day.

16h later...OMG im finally dooooone!!1!^11!! @_@
