a carton of eggbugs for you today #cohost #eggbug #art

sad to say that today was my last day at Discord. I've had a great time working with some incredible people on cool stuff, but now it's time for something new. I'll put out a longer post about what I'm looking for soon, but for now I'm taking a few weeks to myself.

have any of y'all found a physical media library tracking tool you like? ideally something i could self-host but i can live with it being SaaS

https://github.com/antisoftwareclub/cohost-renderer i've got more shit to do to clean this up but this passes typecheck, bundles, and doesn't seem to have too much unnecessary stuff hanging out right now. no npm package yet. PRs welcome, no guarantees i will get to them in a reasonable timeframe.

ok so my target for the cohost postmortem was tomorrow, the third anniversary of the public launch, but i'm probably not going to make that because i'm still not sure what i'm trying to write. maybe i'll figure it out by then but i'm not betting on it.

CURRENT STATUS: working with a third party SDK that doesn't have searchable docs. the closest thing they have to search is an AI chatbot with <50% success rate. who the fuck decided this was better don't worry though, i have been slamming that thumbs down on nearly every response and providing […]

i only wear my apple watch when working out, which means that looking at Fitness Rings is like "0/0/0, 836/143/5, 0/0/0, 742/89/5, 0/0/0, etc". becomes a lot less useful when you don't wear it everyday turns out

something consistently fascinating to me about "doing weird things with computers" youtubers is that they seem to often do zero research or prep, never learn from past mistakes, and will often just abruptly end 20 minute long videos like "well that didn't work. ok bye." i have to assume at […]

as we all know, the true goal of rhythm games is to look cool in front of your friends. you know you’re “good” at the game when your friends see you do a play and say “holy shit” i am good at WACCA

one of my favorite things about blogging is writing a little bonus joke for the opengraph description tag that doesn't appear in the actual post anywhere. more people should do this

waccaposting on a thursday https://jkap.io/wacca-reverse-is-really-fucking-good/

planning on blogging about this but i've recently gotten very obsessed with the dead rhythm game WACCA and got my first rainbow-pace score tonight. very happy with my progress and growth in this game so far. also it's just fun as hell

i should probably use masto more. i've mostly been on bsky because it's where all the artists i follow ended up but also bsky kind of sucks. realistically so does masto but in different ways

ok i'm actually writing it now

trying to see friends in your 30s is just this over and over again

JAE'S EV OWNER PRO TIPS: can't charge at home because you street park? just go play maimai for like four hours and charge at the arcade. you'll be back at 100% in no time

i think the biggest thing cohost demonstrated is that the only reason more sites don't let you include inline styles and arbitrary html in your posts is because they're run by cowards

LB COHOST MENTIONED

i've gotten access to what one could call "chunithm at home" and man....... good fuckin rhythm game. getting a lot better now that i can play it in a context other than An Arcade

update on the open source cohost post renderer: i swear it's still happening. i haven't had the emotional resilience to work in the cohost codebase but once i find a therapist i'll finish it.

kinda harsh

gonna be in SF for work next week, hmu if you wanna hang out. jkap on discord

do women want you? complete the package. FISH FEAR ME is now out and it's good as hell https://store.steampowered.com/app/3000120/FISH_FEAR_ME/

something i've learned over time is that i actually kind of hate working from home and would like to be in an office at least a few days a week, but also there is no way in hell i'm moving back to san francisco so i must cope with the home office that is also my bedroom

so early last year we (cohost) started working with fastly on a case study about our experience working with them. due to some issues, it ended up getting published around when we announced our shutdown in a move experts are calling "really fucking funny" https://www.fastly.com/customers/cohost […]

pretty happy with this for my first endless shuffle run in mindwave. the upside-down sections gave me a lot of trouble; turns out speed doesn't affect me anyway the mindwave demo is fucking awesome. really excited for the full game https://store.steampowered.com/app/2741670/MINDWAVE_Demo/

are you the sort of freak that wants to have the current French Toast Alert level in your Home Assistant instance? well you're in luck, because I am too and wrote the config to make it happen. https://gist.github.com/jkap/cacf6e10235e6e8ed0af79c00babbbf5

it's not visibly snowing but every time i look out the window there's more snow on the ground. so it's gotta be coming from somewhere

experiencing the best case scenario at ANE: people recognizing eggbug and having no idea who i am

remembered a post, had forgotten that it was a cohost original. one of those posts that adds new shit to your lexicon https://web.archive.org/web/20241124155209/https://cohost.org/bigstuffedcat/post/4152972-bartender-man-some

did you know that to delete an s3 bucket you have to "empty" it first, which requires you to keep a tab open the whole time did you know that it takes a really fucking long time

every so often i realize once again that i can, in fact, just Start Doing Cosplay. there is nothing actually stopping me. and then i don't. this cycle repeats about every six months.

ANE soon… i’m not gonna be showing up until friday even though i live here because i don’t want to deal with going back and forth from seaport during the week. i’ll have eggbug stickers. come find me

got to see Stereophonic tonight. crazy good show, even if Act II was briefly interrupted by someone smoking a bowl in the bathroom. i’d say “go see it” but i think there’s only a week left.
