It was at 3am Pacific May 25 that Skynet was created. And it came in the form of a messenger plugin so powerful it now runs my randomizer and does it better than the randomizer itself did. What have I created?

I have lost count of how many times I have used assorted Mexican foods as test variables, or console.log messages. Listen... I just write taco a lot.
It wasn't until recently I discovered my game was seriously lacking a "morality challenged" jester. Every game should have one, what could go wrong?
I've had to make so many fixes to plugins to deal with memory holes... Don't people know I'm the only one allowed to do shoddy programming?
I never realized what an overwhelming resource hog plugin parameters are. I mean sure if you just use them occasionally... No worries. But I tried using them for my map generator.... From 60FPS to crashing after about a minute due to CPU usage. I might remove plugin parameters from other people's plugins I'm using for optimization.
Spent so much of today battling with my potato of a computer to successfully capture my new map generator in action.
Well I was about to do game dev work today, but then a random cave appeared. How can I not explore it?
Fancy an occult ritual in the woods?
Well I disabled Terrax Lighting, my game is bland and boring looking now.
Isn't my new hoodie sweet? I just don't get why nobody wants to let me in their house.
Sometimes I think code clean up day is my favorite day. I mean I do it for my plugins all the time, but usually I pick once a month and do it for my RM code. It really helps reveal a lot of random problems/stupid mistakes. Plus I end up vastly improving stuff I haven't looked at in awhile.
Of course my Dev Room needed mirror portals, how else does a Dev get around?
I'm basically a monster.
See previous profile posts for an explanation.
5:30am me.... What if a map had an actual identity crisis, and spawned in pieces of multiple maps dynamically around the player's current position?
2pm me.... I hate you 5:30am me!
So laying in bed this morning, I had an idea.... I asked myself, what really needs to exist for the player? Do I really need to create a whole map? Or can I just create a bubble around the player? Fast forward 6 hours and "The Bubble" was born. Now instead of 50x50 maps with events roughly capped at 250.. I'm getting 60 fps with 250x250 maps and 4,000 events.
Woke up to breaking 200 followers on Twitter. Only 19 days to get there, at this rate in a month I'll have more followers than people who have even viewed my game thread here.
Updated my swamp area, added "Comet Mode", made weird floating masks that chant numbers. (Blame 3am ideas.) Also I recorded this video on a larger potato than last time, so the quality should be better.
Started an Instagram.... I can already feel the evil eye of Zuckerberg staring down upon me.

Also this site is to Twitter what a Commodore 64 is to Alexa. How did Instagram ever become popular? It's terrible! I never though I'd be complimenting Twitter.
Woke up and updated my main character's model.
Last night at 3am I got the "bright idea" to let the player build an area piece by piece before playing it. Here's the result.
I probably should have picked a more finished area to use as the demonstration. But not going to lie, I really like the whole build your world experience. -

// Looks at Elfkisser, realizes he'd have to either install Windows 10 or compile it for Linux
// Didn't install Elfkisser.
Too much effort for a curiosity.
