domming myself into writing my thesis by forcing myself to donate to a cause I don't really care about every time I miss a session so that I can treat it like it's an actual job, let's hope this works

❌ Repeating the same mistakes ✅ Coming up with novel, increasingly more ridiculous mistakes each time, still not helping, but at least keeping things interesting

Don't put the game called "Everything" on your steam wishlist unless you want to get a brief hit of unwarranted excitement that quickly turns into disappointment when you get an "Everything from your Steam wishlist is now on sale!" email.

I like how instructions for medication are always like "take this medication EXACTLY as described here or else!" and then the description is "take one tablet per day". Not "swallow", "chew", "snort" or "inject". Just "take". Would it kill you to be specific?

I may be mostly retired from SMW hacking, but I will still enter contests, especially if they're questionable: smwc.me/1659720

uhhh I'm fucking sorry, there's *another* new dexter season??? what the hell are they doing at this point

13 hours in and silksong started randomly freezing indefinitely for me... not ideal

just as a single time statement: I will *never* clarify, explain or give any hints towards anything in 'the, if you ask I may well just ignore it there will be no further updates thanks for playing

kids, don't start hacking smw, this ecosystem is tainted and you deserve something that doesn't needlessly waste your time, just learn godot or something instead and have fun

In the interesting situation of running wine through WSL, don't ask

daily reminder that "cleaning" is just the act of making other things dirty so that the stuff you want to be clean isn't anymore

I like how technology has decided that rotating images is easy while rotating videos, something that some might say is just a bunch of images, is really really hard actually

had such a nice pride

I have the fucking best timing cause I bought one of those gaming handhelds (not the switch 2) and it arrived days before I had the worst cold of my life, bed gaming rules while sick

apparently in Austria we have the last name "Hotter" which I enjoy cause it implies that for every "Hotter David" there's also a less hot David out there somewhere

kind of says a lot about the impact of our 24/7 usage of technology when people in a major power outage including the phone grid are like "this is kind of nice in a way, actually"

spotted this extremely nazi coded campaign poster in vienna, upon further research it's for a "party" that has almost the same name as a real far right party that's running, except this one belongs to an art collective that's evidently trying to trick fuckers into voting for them, good shit

boomers will tell you "you don't know how to adult" if you don't know whether green onion goes in the fridge or not, then go "uhhh, actually that's wrong, we don't do it like that in my family" after you look it up

being bi fucking rules it turns out

It's actually so fucked up that my brain will now automatically click the less prominent looking button on any UI, just because I've been conditioned into distrusting any button that tries to grab my attention, even if the more prominent one is actually what I wanted, thanks capitalism

I've known I had some earwax buildup for a while, but I was like "oh, it probably doesn't make that much of a difference in hearing", I was so wrong lmao, they cleaned that shit out and everything is sooooo fucking loud now it's wild, highly recommend if you suspect you might have the same thing

love when you go to a doctor and they're like "let me just put this on your diagnosis cause you'll get more money back from your insurance", very based

got my cardiologist to send me my raw 24h holter monitor data, now I just gotta figure out how the fuck this proprietary ass file format works (probably too lazy, but at least I have the file)

got my first tattoo today, shit's fun, want more immediately

computer scientists be like "this is one of the hardest problems we are aware of!" the problem: "can you pick a few of these numbers and sum them up to this other number?"

what the fuck happened to nightcore since the last time I engaged with it?? where did all these nazis come from?? is there nothing they're not embarrassed to try to appropriate?

might be having my third bout of bacterial tonsillitis in the same number of months, fun stuff

it's actually so nice when you find a doctor who seems like a genuinely nice person, big perk of being in a major city and not having to choose between the 2-3 assholes available in the closest bumfuck nowhere town instead

slowly realizing the food in my fridge leads a horrifying life where whenever the light is turned on one of them gets abducted by a giant and then eaten, only the leftovers spill the beans about the horrors that lurk outside

you'd think before they force AI bullshit features on my phone they'd figure out how to stop it from switching from playing on my headphones to playing on my stereo without me asking it to do so every time I come within the range of my stereo, but I guess that's too advanced

Reskin of the moving castle block from SMW so it looks like howl's moving castle, call that the howl's moving castle block

guess who's top 1000 mythic in mtg arena limited lol oops

thinking of becoming even less hinged in 2025, seems to suit me

honestly the only reason I still use spotify is cause at this point all my shit is on there and that makes it hard to migrate, but it'd be a pretty fun project to write software that takes a spotify library and automatically looks for highly legal mp3s of the same stuff on the internet

they may have caught Luigi, but they'll never catch Mario

hot take, but imo you get to pick a maximum of 3 out of these, maybe 4 if you're lucky: - work life - social life - sleeping - hobbies - watching a full season of better call saul every day - eating

tfw bought tickets for interstella 5555 without watching the trailer thinking it's an actual remaster and it turns out to be AI upscaled garbage, highly disappointing

me, trying to make a posh person drink the cheap tea I poisoned: "Here we have a refreshing blend of artisan spices and herbs, presented inside a light cellulose container, served with thrice-boiled dihydrogen monoxide, ahaha, don't worry, that's just water *wink* *wink*, enjoy!"

conservatives when a poor person dies because of lack of healthcare: 😴 conservatives when a CEO dies because of acute lead overdose: 😱

I live in a student apartment and they always collect the AC remotes when summer is over as if that would actually effectively disallow people from using them, meanwhile I can control it with at least two things I own if I want to

no one: me: I think technically callisto could be made to help you find any pairwise conflict between arbitrary resources in your smw hack in O(log n) builds where n = number of resources under consideration and the hidden constant should be reasonably small, something like ~2-3 on average dependi

it's incredible what strangers at bars calling me pretty does for my self-esteem, I'm starting to think they might be onto something

Seems like the process of rewriting Callisto so far is mostly realizing I want to move a bunch of logic out of the core binary into Lua or Python scripts, which sort of makes one wonder if it shouldn't just all be scripts as long as performance doesn't suffer too much

started rewriting callisto (my build system for SMW hacks) in rust for version 1.0.0, can only be a matter of years surely

big fan of being anxious about doctor's visits all year, then having one day of courage and scheduling like 5 appointments in a single day, rinse and repeat
