🎮 From Bugs to Boss Fights: My Game Dev Journey So Far

 Hey folks, it’s Hubaka 👋


You know, when I first started game development, I thought it would be easy. Just throw some code, add a sprite, press run… boom, masterpiece!

Well, turns out — that “boom” was usually my game crashing. 💥😂


I’ve spent nights debugging, days designing, and mornings realizing I broke something that worked perfectly yesterday. But honestly? I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Every bug, every failed build, every “why isn’t this working!?” moment taught me something new.


Game dev is wild. One minute you’re a programmer, the next you’re an artist, a sound designer, a writer, and sometimes… your own QA tester who lies to themselves saying, “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.”


I’m still learning, still building, and still chasing that feeling of watching someone play my game and smile. That’s the real win. 🕹️✨


If you wanna see what I’ve been working on, check out my games here:

And if you’re a fellow dev (or just someone who loves chaos), join my Discord!

Till next time — keep coding, keep creating, and don’t forget to save your project often.

A lonely linuxer log #20 – re-introduction

Hi everyone, today I want to reintroduce myself. There’s an Indonesian proverb: “tak kenal maka tak sayang,” which roughly means “you can’t love someone you don’t know.” So, let me re-introduce myself. My name is Hubaka Ghayati Setyakurnia — yes, that’s my full birth-certificate name. I was born on May 13th, 1997, in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. My childhood was simple, creative, and fun. I went to Al Ikhlas and TK Andhika for kindergarten, then continued to Priangan Elementary School. When I was in 2nd grade, my parents divorced and I transferred to Banjarsari Elementary School. After that, I studied at SMPN 7 Bandung — which at the time was the 3rd best middle school in the country (and if I remember correctly, it became the top one after I graduated). It was a great environment: clean, well-organized, and perfect for focusing on academics. Thanks to that momentum, I passed the entrance tests for SMAN 3 Bandung, which was known as the best high school back then — it even had its ow...

The Lonely Linuxer Log #14 — Confession of an AI-Powered Penguin 🐧

 Hey everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood Linuxer again. Okay… I’ve got a confession to make. Recently, I’ve been getting some help writing my blogs — from AI. Yup. The “lonely Linuxer” isn’t completely alone anymore. 😅 Before you imagine some robot typing while I sip coffee, don’t worry — it’s still me behind the keyboard. I just use AI as a writing buddy to turn my scattered ideas into actual words that make sense (most of the time). Honestly? It’s kinda like using apt install inspiration. I still control the terminal — I just get a few extra suggestions before I hit Enter. And oh yeah… 💙 Big news: I’ve switched to Kubuntu! Goodbye GNOME, hello KDE. It feels smooth, beautiful, and way more “me.” I’ve been customizing it nonstop — changing icons, tweaking panels, and pretending I’m hacking NASA every time I open Konsole. Linux is still my favorite kind of chaos — open, free, and full of personality (just like its users). So yeah, I might not be that lonely anymore. I’ve got...

A Lonely Linuxer Log #17 – My Walking Hobby

This log is a bit different, but still very much part of my uptime. I want to share something that’s been helping me keep my system running stable: walking. I live in a crowded city — like a machine running too many background services — but it still has green parks and quiet paths, the equivalent of hidden TTYs where things feel calmer. I started doing daily “maintenance cycles,” walking about an hour and covering around 3km. But recently, I’ve upgraded. Now I can push 5km without throttling, and yesterday I even reached 8km — a surprising performance boost. And here’s the strange part: walking seems to help my insulin levels. My blood sugar came back normal — which feels like discovering that htop shows no runaway processes even though I consume too much sugary coffee and still smoke. (Yeah, I know, I’ll patch those habits eventually.) There’s even an incentive module installed: my dad pays me 5,000 rupiah per kilometer walked. That’s basically enough to apt-get a bottle of coffee. S...
