Adapting the Futhorc
The Futhorc was the original writing system for English. Theorized to have derived from the Etruscan alphabet, it was widespread across northern Europe until finally being supplanted by the Latin alphabet sometime around the 13th century. It was typically written on wood, to the frustration of modern archaeologists as only the rare stone or metal inscriptions have survived.
Hyper Feminine, America Online Themed Website About Pop Culture
It's Independence Day in America which feels like a good time to feature America's Decline.
The vibe is like...
You're out shopping in the early 2000s and coming up to the checkout, you pass those stands of magazines with Britney Spears and Katy Perry on the front cover.
What's Next For the Site?
Recently I've been experimenting with a lot of different types of posting from different authors and aliases. The direction of the blog kind of jumped from just being a place to throw my sporadic gamedev and technology articles that would come out every month or so while I was more focused on making software into: "I will publish anything that someone wants to write for the site."
After asking people to consider contributing, it occurred to me that the best way I could make this look appealing was to write about other people on the Internet everyday. After all, what better way to make the site seem open to different kinds of articles than to feature different kinds of sites and people. I think that went really well. I'm not ashamed to admit that A True Story of Dead Internet is one of the best articles on the site and I didn't write it. I would love it if more people wanted to write as many quality posts here as that.
However, writing everyday to upkeep the appearance of a site that covers a wide range of topics and has many different writers where anything could happen is taking a lot out of me! Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed it, but I have software that's waiting for me to get back to writing it.
This isn't the end but we might be slowing down for a while. Submissions are always open of course.
Digging Up Y2K Era Cam Girl Blogs
In the early 2000s, there was a race to be the next Stileproject (the wikipedia article should catch you up) and every noname E/N site was adding cam portals, writing about cam girls, and hoping to strike Internet gold in the process.
A "camgirl site" wasn't really what you imagine today. It was closer to a girl with an Instagram and a Snapchat in terms of content -- the main difference being that she was generally interested in web design, was willing to teach herself to get a site up, and would then affiliate with portals for traffic and accept gifts from Amazon wishlists. She was almost always a college student studying the same kinds of subjects other people with websites were studying. Image quality was very low back then. Having full videos was the dream of a few years later. So these girls were also writers.
Let's look at some of these camgirl sites.
A True Story of Dead Internet
The term Dead Internet Theory has been floating around lately. The main gist is that as bots have become more prevalent, they’ve started to replace human interaction online. One might think that computer-generated content would be easy to spot, and in many cases you would be right. However much like how ChatGPT became very adept at creating banal HR dribble, it proved less that AI is capable of human speech, but more so that HR isn’t able to generate content that advances beyond basic predictive text.
The Nihilist OPSEC Blog I
The Nihilist OPSEC Blog was originally published on nowhere.moe. In May of 2025 it went darkweb only and in June of 2025 it went offline. It is being preserved here.
A Community Website Anyone Can Edit
Everyone on the MelonLand Forum can edit this website at the same time together.
Punp's Pog-Pounding Pog-Pocalypse Slammer Page
I've always been horrible about adding external links to my websites, so starting today, we're doing a new column, The Goeshard Link of the Day, except it's only going to happen when I feel like doing it.
Dada Manifesto (1918) by Tristan Tzara
The magic of a word: Dada, which has brought journalists to the gates of a world unforeseen, is of no importance to us.
Snow Deformation (with Godot)
Snow deformation is a cool effect where as you walk in snow, it deforms it in a trail along where you walk. There's a handful of different ways this can be done. Here I cover a way using particle effects, an orthogonal camera and a Shader on the deformed surface.
Intercepting Requests to Unlock Hidden Functionality
When you fill out a form on a website and hit submit, your browser constructs a POST request and sends it to the website so that it can decide what to do with that information. It would contain not only the data you entered into the form but information about your login session and a cross-site request forgery token (hopefully).
If you're interested in understanding a website's functionality, capturing requests as they exit your browser lets you examine how to effectively interact with the site, as these requests are crafted by developers to elicit successful responses. You can use this insight to create custom requests, which can sometimes yield intriguing results.
Let's look at how to do that with a simple example.
Do You Want to Guest Post an Article for Goeshard.Org?
It's been a while since I've done a meta post. Most of the time when I write, it's to nerd out over whatever programming project I'm working on. For the past year that's been just a lot of gamedev posts. But when I first imagined goeshard.org, this place was intended to be a hub of art, music, programming, and other DIY web projects.
I know when a lot of people set out to make an independent website their mentality is very much, "Welcome to my personal space!" That wasn't really the goal for this site. I wanted goeshard.org to be a celebration of various things across the web in general, but as working on games is very time consuming work, it's what I spend the majority of my free time thinking about. It's naturally what ends up being the primary content of the site.
Having more guest writers could be the element that elevates goeshard.org to coming closer to what I imagined and covering more topics.
Untitled Adventure in Cute Fantasy Farm?
In my brief gamedev career, I've become known for short, brutally difficult arcade games. When you're developing a game like that, it adds a certain amount of high stress once you're ready to release. You want the player to like it. You want the game to be difficult. Both of these things align very narrowly on stars when someone is really good at game design. So with the new game, that pressure is something I wanted to take out.
I'm officially in my cozy gamedev era with this new prototype.
It's been called a surrealist masterpiece by a real person.
A playable feedback request version is AVAILABLE TODAY.
Side Loading a Non-Steam Game to a Steam Deck
Every time I want to add a Non-Steam Game to my Steam Deck I have to look up all the commands in my history and remember all the exact things I frequently forget to make it happen. This will never happen again.
Super Shirtless Guy World Postmortem
Back in December I started a platformer prototype. In February I entered it into a marathon game jam, which is an exercise where participants enter an existing project that they'd like to push themselves to finish and everyone presents their work a month later.
What became of this project is Super Shirtless Guy World, which I consider to be a massive failure despite the game working and being relatively bug free. Basically no one understands it or likes it. In this post I'm going to try to cope but also figure out how I might avoid several pitfalls in the future.
From Firefox to Ungoogled Chromium
This past Wednesday Mozilla dropped a bombshell.
When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information.
For many years I was very proud to be a Mozilla user. Over time I came to think of them as the lesser of two evils. And now, I just don't want anything to do with them.
I switched to Ungoogled Chromium and inside are some details.
Grandmother's Country Music, Honky Tonk
I couldn't begin to tell you what a modern country song sounds like or who the artists would be. I scarcely remember the names of 90s country artists I heard as a child from my mother's radio, which I regularly listened to with my cousins and family.
By age 13, I had completely discarded county music. I moved from punk rock, to hardcore, to emo, to ska, to dancehall, to vaporwave, to witch house, to cloud rap, to hyperpop. You name it, but the point is, I left country music in the dust as soon as I was old enough to do that.
Recently I've been experiencing a return to my familial roots. Except it's not my mother's country that I'm here to tell you about. I want to talk about my grandmother's country music.
Fun with Retroarch on Linux
Retroarch is a frontend for emulators. It basically merges multiple systems into a customizable interface with unified settings. I'm going to show you how I build and configure my classic game box and we'll look at the scripts I use to get roms onto it. By the end we will have a complete collection of games, thumbnails, screenshots, and database info about every game ever released for multiple classic gaming consoles. Then we'll do some other fun things like organizing a random game picker.

Using Tiled Object Layers with Defold Tilemaps
Defold is great, but when it comes to designing levels, integrating an external tool like Tiled can significantly enhance your workflow. Tiled is a free, open-source map editor that supports a wide range of formats and allows you to create tile-based game worlds with ease. It's snappy, fast, highly extendable, and its been around for as long as I can remember.
What's even better is that out of the box, it supports exporting Defold tilemaps and collections. What's slightly disappointing is that after getting Tiled-pilled, you realize there's a lot of things it would be nice to specify in the level editor that you can't because Defold tilemaps do not support those features.
I'm going to show you how I set object spawn positions in Tiled, export them as JSON, and load them with Defold.
