Been attempting to integrate a native C library into a Java project and it’s proving to be a total nightmare, even with jnigen. Once again cursing myself for choosing to write a game in Java.

We went for a walk/forage on the Ridgeway today which was very muddy but gorgeous. We found:

• Jelly ears!
• Oysters!
• Gorse!
• Nettles!
• Wild garlic!
• Turkey tails!
• Ground ivy!

I will admit it irks me slightly that my application for a Switch developer license was declined when the eShop is full of shit like this.

So after posting my Manifesto I tried some pizza from Veggie Crust on the Old Kent Road and while it was no Mario it was some pretty good Good Shit Pizza.

We went to a couple of cool exhibitions today - the ASMR one at the Design Museum and the one about Japanese silk braiding (Kumihimo) at Japan House.

Rolled credits (well, you know what I mean) on Lightfall. I actually quite enjoyed the action movie vibe of the campaign as a whole but every complaint about the narrative is valid; it feels like we’re back to the bad old days.

Getting Webmentions working has been a bit of a pain in the arse but I think I’m getting there, slowly.
