It's normally total of 3 hours, 90 minutes each way. That's not great, but previous to this I was living 500 miles away from my family, for a year and a half. So this is better for me.

500 miles away from family sounds like an amazing job perk

Not in my case. I'm very family-centered, so it wasn't clear why I'd even need to be in Japan if I'm that far away from my family. I could just go back to the USA and make 50% more than my current salary. But I want my family to be here.

I somehow found one of the ear flipper things for your ear buds to help them stay in place that I had lost back in like...October...at the gym...but I found it in my yard, after I mowed, yet it was there and pristine.

I’m still looking for the JVC Bluetooth headphones that I lost four times and found. I guess the fifth times a charm.

Was reading this random dude bitching on Twitter about how broken UE4 is because he couldn't create a pause menu. I said there is no way is this not in the guide and yep there's a whole step by step tutorial to make one, requiring zero code writing, etc. This led to me installing UE4 for the first time since it was in beta and messing around for a while. Managed to turn the FPS demo into a clicker game with different default geometry shapes as enemies that all spawn in the same spot in each other so it looks like garbage.

Also made a giant tower of default prop chairs that I put on top of a pyramid of boxes you can shoot and watch them tumble down each other until the engine automatically culls them because they fell off the "ground" into the void and there's no defined bottom. Yes, I spent time in Unreal Editor recreating Garry's Mod gameplay.

Then I put so many light sources all over the damn place that it said it was going to take an hour to recalculate the lighting so I said fuck that and quit.

So I will be delaying benjipwnsclicker to TBD from 20XX as my vision for the world design requires those light sources. With chair tower DLC exclusive to EGS.

benjipwnsclicker currently does not have a pause menu

Been many a year since I had been able to do anything like that. I used to be able to make dumb dungeon crawlers in C let alone code up little tools or websites plus the decade of modding, then there were many years where I couldn't do much of anything outside of basic scripts (which still makes you a programming god in poli sci), but now I can make a clicker game just using the UE toolset. And nothing broke except for the part I figured would!

I realized that the light sources probably were not related to the light sources themselves but all the prop foliage I placed everywhere too, it has to calculate how the lighting bounces off of and through those instead of just the flat surfaces. When I made maps back in the day I never had this problem as lighting wasn't that advanced even in Source.

Plus I actually spent a couple hours on it to where the clicker mechanics were working semi-properly. Which is sort of a triumph of starting something randomly and "completing" it. I didn't really intend to "finish it" and make a clicker game necessarily, but I might keep tinkering with it and put stuff on the blog to show how easy it is to use UE these days. Maybe even try to make a more serious attempt at a benjipwnsclicker as a blog feature. I dunno, felt like a triumph when I compiled it and it ran exactly as intended.
