people ask what I listen to and I have to answer like I dont listen to Tiny Little Lip Balm on repeat like some kind of weirdo

In my cyclical moods and motivations, I'm back to working on a GBA game no one but me will play. This past week I got: - A large overworld with no screen-scroll - Animation system - Projectiles - Sound effects - A new look - Branching dialog system & memory (you can permanently piss-off an NPC!)

Also, when im in a simpering, weak, pathetic, crybully competition and my opponent is a driver

the first rule of compilers is to have fun

my fish tank caught fire

while I am anti-LLM, I did get lost training my own to test a hyper-specific focus. I also now see how hard the optimization problems are TLDR: this shit doesn't scale that is inherent to the discovery that bigger = better, and attention being quadratic complexity with few optimizations

I offerred a coworker one of my 3D printers - which had been sitting idle for 5y - for his son, like a year ago, and I forgot about it since then. He asked me about it again today... so anyway, I'm 6 hours deep in fixing it, replacing cables, a driver from spares, and a missing motor...

Well. It happened. Its a cold day in hell. Its projected to snow 3-5 inches in coastal South Carolina, and its starting now.

I like my teeth like I like my women: not exploded

creating new badges for my site

Wolfenstein has the opportunity to do the funniest thing by releasing a game with a new, modern enemy

load bearing tweet for a settler colonial society

What a pretty game :)

I swear to god some of these corporate news outlets would open a window right now and say “We can’t confirm it, but it appears that the ground is allegedly being snowed upon.”

I feel seen

I've been working on a tutorial series and it has honestly been good writing practice

The tracker album for GBA stuff is working, but I am hunting a bug and adding support for Game Boy tracker music in addition to the Game Boy Advance tracker music. This should allow you to use both Pulses, the Wavetable, and the Noise that GB/C supports

so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery! now I'm bedridden for recovery, fun! I'm still about 1400$ away from paying my electricity bill, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much! ko-fi.com/fooneturing

work-related annoyances aside: I'm trying to work up the courage to tell my boss - who hired me at my first dev job and later hired me again at my current dev job years later - that I appreciate everything he's done for me

am I crazy or do people at work treat me like ChatGPT? 19 of the 20 things he brought up were on his end, and all he did was send me copies and screenshots of the errors that were entirely on his end

detour mini project: creating a modern foot pedal adapter cable for the NES/SNES Miracle Piano Teaching System (crappy foam original left, modern right)

I have like 14 things on my TODO list and the one I'm least interested in working on is "play a video game" strange times. I think I need to hand in my gamer card

the hell is portfolio day

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.

Meta Horizon is a client of ours. Our POC was let go this morning. ruh roh

today's the day I learned what a chord progression is

getting the "did anyone come with you today?"

Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative. No. ABOLISH ICE.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

aight it's time to see if its cancer

ok so my quick project - which I'm now calling 'TrackPak' - takes a playlist of your tracker music and produces a music player GBA ROM for your album with album art and whatnot. It is actually getting close to MVP. I can probably finish it tonight/tomorrow

Oh my god it fucking works

‪ok I am speedrunning this project to see how fast I can do it

i use arch btw

this music video is evergreen www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDJa...

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

I was thinking of making a tool, in which you can upload your s3m, it, and mod files, and a 64x64 album cover, and have a server build a working "album ROM" for the Game Boy Advance it'd only have prev/next, play/pause, support for 64x64 album art, and maybe ff, but I feel like that'd still be cool

Here's every time that ICE shoots at someone because they claim the driver tried to run them over / ram them Jul 31 - CO Jul 31 - CA Aug 15 - CA Oct 4 - IL Oct 17 - DC Oct 21 - CA Oct 30 - CA Nov 13 - DC Dec 24 - MD Jan 7 - MN, Renee Good Am I insane for thinking that >50% of their excuses are sus

I think the only thing that would make me feel better after finding out I have a tumor would be 'it' happening please let 'it' happen

I dont like seeing my favorite games of all time turn 21-30 >:(

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap released on this day, 21 years ago, on the Game Boy Advance! (January 10, 2005)

I’m using tilt controls

America is yearning for "it."

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

I hate when a local politician runs primarily on "reducing crime," bc instead of "prevent poverty," it usually means "28.7% of our taxes goes to the police. let's give them more!" (28.7% is a real number. check your municipality's annual budget report. It's usually the biggest single category)
