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)

working on a font converter that takes any font and outputs a Game Boy Advance Butano-compatible header

I love when I'm trying to make a post and I fail at adding appropriate content warnings and alt text, and there's no way to retroactively edit those settings

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

reminder dass, auch wenn man nicht an der "Front" kämpfen kann,sei es aus körperlichen oder mentalen Gründen,man auch einfach dadurch helfen kann, indem man den andern einen Kraft und Ruhepol bietet und anderweitig hilft anderen Hoffnung, Hilfe und Energie geben ist auch eine Form des Widerstands.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

Sprite stacking 101 🧩 #pixelart #indiedev #GameMaker

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Elon in 2016: In 2026 we will be on Mars! Elon in 2026: Here have this nazi-pedo-porn-generator.

BREAKING: X’s chatbot Grok isn’t just making AI porn deepfakes, it’s now making Nazi AI porn deepfakes, undressing women and showing them wearing “swastika bikinis”. Many of these women are Jewish, including a recently deceased Holocaust survivor.

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

If you have the space, means and collection: a northern Texas warehouse full of proto-Redbox VHS vending machines from the mid-1980s is being evicted. The machines are free and whatever isn't taken will imminently be scrapped. www.facebook.com/commerce/lis...

Move Fast and Break Kings

i fuckin love GDQ

The extent to which Games Done Quick has helped to steer the larger speedrunning community - one of the most hardcore video game enthusiast subcultures there is - into becoming something so welcoming, inclusive and supportive astonishes me

"gooner" is the new "woke"

I have 1 person who reports to me at work, but thats like 10% of the company. where's my VP status and golden parachute?

if I had the chance to give myself an expert-level skill instantly, it'd be a tough choice between music and digital art I've been practicing art at least once a week, but with music, I have no idea where to start!

I removed all division from my game and wow it suddenly runs 100x better who'd've guessed that a CPU that doesn't know what division is would be slow at division

its crazy that the innovation that lead to modern LLMs and GenSlop was mostly "huh the bigger models work way better" the same industry will turn around and say "AGI is right around the corner," but how big will the models need to be? will we have the resources? we already don't

The Game Boy Advance might be the console with the biggest amount of LGTB+ initials on its name.

detour completed. I can now insert a CD, DVD, Bluray, or UHD disc in my media server and rip it through an automated process. I started this project 2 years ago and its very simple. I only worked on it every 6 months. Maybe in June I'll add support for game discs, and by Dec/Jan I'll publish it
