Get Your Skills On: Game Dev Get Your Skills On
-
- Education
The Get Your Skills On Game Dev podcast is about three simple things:
1. Using up precious entropy to speed up the inexorable march of time towards the end of the universe.
2. Making a public domain videogame.
3. Keeping up the façade of stability while making friends along the way.
Join Thor (your host) and Tim (probably insane) while we try to stay on subject in this exciting and totally original podcast.

GYSO Game Dev Part 11 - A "The Happening" brought forth by Comic Sans memes: Filler 3
Follow along while Thor (your host) and Tim (your fellow bomb ass bitch) pretend to develop a public domain videogame while trying to find something interesting to talk about.
This podcast is actually just a coverup for the coverup of the assassination of King William IV. The first coverup was to cover up that it was an assassination, and now we're covering up the coverup. It's like a blanket fort in here. If you can read this message then just play along and await further orders.
You'll feel right at home while we fumble through a podcast supposedly about developing videogames! Have fun and enjoy! :D

Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, the Get Your Skills On podcast and blog is taking a temporary hiatus. You can read a little bit more about that, but not a lot more, on our blog.

GYSO Game Dev Part 8 - Sleep
Hi and welcome to the GYSO Game Dev podcast! Where I, the anonymous editor, continually forgets that I have to make shownotes! So here's to not doing double the amount of work for some lame text that accompanies a podcast no one cares to quality-control the correctness of it's shownotes.
42:30 Tim wants to do things
43:30 Editors note: I have been trying to mark the transitions while recording, but it's still a work in progress
44:22 So I don't know what section we're in now, because I jumped to a marker, but it seems to be *very* far away from a section marker
46:00 We might be in the What Went Wrong section, but maybe we're still in What Went Right
46:45 It's Thor editing, by the way
47:00 This entire episode is, practically, about Tim's new sleep schedule
47:50 But includes some more abstract thoughts on doing the things you want to do in a stress-free manner
48:30 Again, focused on how freeing it is for us to work in solitude, before the rest of the world wakes up
49:00 Editor here, I've developed the editing template for the podcast a little, and I think the podcast sounds a little better and fuller. Slightly overcompressed still, but better.
50:10 Send me some feedback on what you think about it
50:30 I don't really feel bad about some of the amateur cracks and pops, one of the things that defines GYSO is the unmitigated raw nature of it.
52:10 Here, actually, some interesting conversation happened on the merit of copying other people's strategies bit-by-bit, just because and I think you should listen to this bit specifically if you only listen to one thing in this part - or is it episode?
53:00 What Happens Next?
55:30 I feel inspired to create instruments. Not in the podcast, but right now.
56:00 This slow burn of me creating my Linux musician setup is already at it's end
57:0 I have all the tools I need, and I feel like creating soundscapes
58:00 My week has been pretty good to me, if very much over-social for my personal need
59:00 But Tim is talking about being content right around here
1:00:00 And I relate a lot right now. I've been doing *better*
1:01:00 But now I want more.
1:01:30 Tim is saying some pretty nice things right here. Actually, throughout most of this podcast. I expect this level of clarity from him will continue for a few more podcast episodes before some weird vagely-related setback
1:06:45 Reading back, I really do wonder who knows me better: Me, or Tim. Because what I just wrote about doing better and wanting more is triggering the Tim-coined term of "immediately escalating my interests"
1:08:40 A couple months back, I had a deep realization that I talk about my deepest self-motivations too lightly.
1:10:40 You see, I'm an intensely self-aware person, and so it's pretty easy for me to talk about the stuff I *really* care about and the things I *really* want to do
1:12:00 But then, having said those things out loud, they stop being fun things that develop me, my personality, and my self-worth in the background, and start being something I have to be accountable for
1:14:20 In that way, this podcast is really dangerous for me in that way
1:26:00 Those were Thor's final comments. Editor's note: I skipped. If you want to know what we talked about, you can listen to the podcast.

All the timestamps below are wrong because I did bad stuff in editing, enjoy.
00:00 Introduction
00:00 You know, I'm tired of this shit
03:45 I'm listening to this at 2.5 times speed just to get it over with
04:20 I'm having the worst of days.
04:40 It actually started nice. I read a little, felt open and aware and riddled out my bitterness a bit
06:00 I can't hear anything what we're saying. I hope I can figure out when the transitions are.
07:00 I'm not editing this. I'm applying my presets, and then I'm done.
07:30 Maybe I'll export the podcast at 2.5x speed just because I don't want anyone to hear it
09:00 My audio driver is broken. I only get audio out of my left ear.
10:00 Chipmunks us are probably talking about me buying a pressure cooker
02:35 Hey I paused the podcast using the space button and it put me back at the beginning of the podcast because my tools aren't configured properly. How hard is it to understand a pause button?
14:00 I seriously don't know where I'm supposed to put the transisiton and I can't be arsed, I'm just placing something around here
19:20 I skipped.
19:30 basically, I've moved this weekend to dorms
20:00 and I'm a little on edge
20:30 Dealing with people and new impressions and people is hard for me
21:20 We're singing
21:45 So I've procrastinated editing this until literally the last minute. Usually the podcast is scheudled to upload 40 minutes earlier than my current time.
23:30 But it's fine, we're still in legal range of upload
24:00 Just kind of bitter
27:00 I'm not doing any noise reduction to this, probably
27:40 Actually I will, this sounds terrible
36:45 What went Wrong
56:0 Tim has had a fan going or something for the last eternity
1:02:45 I'll just place the next section marker here, I don't care. Save me from this hell.
1:15:00 Also I'm just cutting it here I just want to eat something and go outside, people are playing music, and playing music badly in my dorm. Save me and also fix my audio so I can listen with both my ears.

GYSO Game Dev Part 6 - Filler 2
Hi and welcome to the GYSO Game Dev podcast! If you were paying attention, I forgot to add in the "introduction" voice thing at the very beginning of last episode. This time around, I'm equipped with a little script to hopefully make it a bit easier for me to continually write interesting shownotes!
00:00 Introduction
00:20 Banter
02:40 Temporal issues
06:00 The Open Book
09:00 Thor's life story of moving a lot recently
11:20 Intense desire to escalate your interests
11:50 emacs quickurl is old
18:00 Thor's emacs config is imperfect
20:00 The inital emacs rant ends
21:35 Then he continues...
22:45 What Went Right?
23:15 That one episode of that one particular show
24:35 Thor continues talking about emacs, peripherally
25:35 Tim has been sitting in amazement, yet still keeps on the subject of emacs
26:40 I think they have switched subjects here... Something about working at Apple's Segway department
30:35 What Tim Made
32:10 One last thing about Thor's emacs config
33:20 And they're back on track on again
37:20 There was some more emacs meta-comments around here
38:05 Back on track
40:00 Take it seriously if you dare
42:00 What Went Wrong?
43:10 A note on the last GYSO Drawing post
43:50 Tim's creative impulses
44:30 Don't change the subject... don't change the subject...
45:07 Oops, he did it again
45:25 Thank you!
46:30 Everything is wrong
46:35 Nose whistles
47:40 Thor occasionally feels empowered
50:40 He did release an album that one time
51:35 The problem with having a Swedish artist name that is multiple words long, and incomprehensible to English-only speakers, is that you can't really just say what your name is. So here's a link: https://ienidentitetskris.bandcamp.com/
52:00 Trying to pronounce Swedish for like a minute straight
54:00 Rundown of what i en identitetskris is meant to be, and what it has turned into
57:00 Tim is going to the bathroom
59:00 Tim is back
59:35 Somehow, Thor sneaked in some more emacs in here
1:02:02 Yeah, there's that emacs config again
1:04:55 What Happens Next?
1:06:00 Tim starts talking about something he cares about
1:10:30 I'm skipping a lot in this section, because this is boring
1:23:20 Thank you for listening!
