YT keeps recommending me japanese struggle-core videos. They're all the same, featuring young people struggling through their work day and daily life. The sheer quantity of these videos is raising some questions about systemic issues in japan.

EU be like: the bottle cap stays *on* during sex

I've been trying out a lower carb diet this year. Today I'm peeling frozen pastries to get to the meat inside.

In the absence of breaking changes to hardware, software is the ultimate "buy it for life" proposition. With fixed hardware, software doesn't rot, it doesn't rust, it doesn't have expensive fiddly parts that break and need to be replaced. Which is of course, economically problematic.

Larian should remake Morrowind. Put some sexy dark elves in there. Put some cat girls in there. Give Ahnassi some more polygons. Some nice voice work. Just that would sell 10 million units.

Game CEOs are business ghouls who only talk about how to make money. They worship at the altar of monetization. They spit on game preservation. Asking for grace is asking too much.

@nothings.bsky.social I want to ask a little question about game engine architecture. Right now I have 1 array for each object type. I have to loop over like 10 arrays when updating objects or doing collision. Is that how it's typically done? Is there something better?

Not only does ICE need to be abolished, but there should be publically aired tribunals for as long as it takes to hold every last one of these thugs accountable. No one, not even the people who file paperwork or handle payroll, should be immune from prosecution.

@kenney.nl I had problems loading your 3D space pack. Couldn't parse it with cgltf. Other packs, like castle pack, load fine.

How do I find the right vector if I have fwd and up? They are perpendicular. @freya.bsky.social

I green-screened myself into my new game to tell you all about my new game I’m such a nerd 🤓 My new game is about driving a 4x4 in a Furniture Store youtu.be/NZUTvsWC60Q

Oh no! I want to make a programming language!

I thought grumpy Luke was perfect. He was the quintessential Jedi Master, like Yoda before him.

Over the last week of AI coding, I've come to understand the words prompt engineer. To get Claude to implement something, I have to tell it what I want. The thing I want has to be possible. It has to be compatible with the existing codebase.

I hate strings in Odin. This whole slice bullshit gets on my nerves. My kingdom for a fixed size array.

@quelsolaar.bsky.social Wanna ask you about error handling. I did some vibe coding, and now I'm removing a bunch of error checks from my codebase. Should be fine, I'm leaving some printfs. But I also got upset when BG3 crashed on me. So I'm wondering how you approach it.

I've been doing some vibe coding today. Me and Claude have allocated some memory and opened an SDL window. It's nothing impressive, but I had fun. I think that's something that's lost in AI conversations. Claude made programming easier, to the point where a threshold was crossed, and it became fun.

The villains of the world should remember the Law of the Forest. If someone hits you with a stick, you have the right to hit them with a stick. We choose not to practice this in civilized society. But make no mistake, it still exists. It's fundamental to beings with agency.

I've realized recently that Americans disgust me. Not all of them of course. But there are a lot of them who bend the knee to Trump. As soon as they got a chance to submit to a king, they did. And what a king they have!

I regret to inform you that I've gotten into a new podcast: Dwarkesh Patel. He interviewed Zuck, he's one of those. But he's also got some episodes with historians. And Patrick McKenzie.

If you want to get into games, you have to make a game. It doesn't matter if you are friends with people. They're not gonna make your game for you. You have to make your game.

What's the most amount of code you've ever compiled? 100k lines? 500k? A million? And how long did it take? @enikofox.com @nothings.bsky.social I think for me it was about 80k or so. A little bit of my own code, and several header only libs. This was C code and it took a couple seconds to compile.

Asking as a european: what the fuck is a hospital chain?

It's a whole genre it's beautiful

Tried to make abomination pizza today using my Gastronomicon. The bottom wasn't crispy at all, but it tasted good.

I bought a Gastronomicon to use as a baking tray. It's a Pujadas GN 1/2 40mm. Only used it once, but it's perfect so far. Perfect size, perfect depth, perfectly stainless steel. No more "non-stick" cookware for me.

NUDITY will be OBSCENITY now! we are in Afghanistan in 1977 and most people don’t realize

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true

it's 2025 and you still can't mention using light mode in any app without some fucking clown going "WOW MY EYES ARE BLEEDING EAIIGHGH THE SUN OWWCH OWIE I'M GONNA DIE LMAO HOW DO YOU LIVE"

@icculus.icculus.org Diablo 2 and Throne of Darkness are two games from the early 2000s. The mouse pointer in D2 is sluggish and bad on modern PCs. In Throne it's mostly fine. What could be the difference between then two? I'm trying to understand what APIs people used to handle the mouse back then.

My favorite martial arts channel delivers again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcKO...

@quelsolaar.bsky.social How many lines of code have you written? I remember seeing somewhere that MoF is 500k lines. Is that correct? And is that your biggest project? Or just your average project?

Can’t put it more succinctly than @sarahkendzior.bsky.social did.

This is kinda based actually when you think about it. If you're old enough to have a fucking credit card to use then you're likely old enough for the adult side of the Internet anyways. Literally no need for this face scanning/ID privacy invading shit and they clearly know there's not.

I signed the Stop Killing Games EU initiative. It was very simple and quick. If you want your games to stay playable in the future, I suggest you sign too. eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#...

as a gamer, I'm usually looking for games that give me more boosts than other games. or free gems on signup. I dont want to play any games without boosts or gems

Nobody wants an AI to spend their money and spam text their friends. The marketing ghouls are trying to gaslight you into thinking this is cool. It's not. What I want is control over the tech I use.

the only place i want “discover feed” is in my trough!!

I'm trying to make a Morrowind mod. Let me just reiterate that I fucking hate Lua and I fucking hate OOP. If I could just take a look at the player struct, all laid out in one place, I'd immediately know how to use it. But the information is spread between 15 pages of documentation.

Ordered 4 kilos of ribeye for 80 euros. Went to the meat website and asked for some ribeye, and they'll just bring it to my house just like that. Payment is after the fact. Kinda wild.

Great video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzdL...

This paragraph is on point. Having known many people whose mental and even physical health issues are CAUSED by work.

It's possible she may be guilty of this crime, but it's unreasonable for her to pay too high a price for 20 seconds of action. Think of her future! Girls will be girls.

I've been vibe coding a Morrowind mod with Claude, and I rather enjoyed it. Could I have done it myself? Yes. Could I have done it myself in two hours? No.

Hate when a site or service automatically converts emojis to those little yellow bastards. ":D" is a totally different vibe than "😁" and I will die on this hill

@larianstudios.com There this guy called Dammitt. He makes grimtools, which is a build planner and info database for Grim Dawn. You should hire him to make a similar site for BG3.

36 hours ago I was weighing 120 kilos. Right now I'm 115.5. That's from 1 day of low carb.

Did my monthly grocery shop. Got about 13 kilos of meat, 4 smoked mackerels, and 20 eggs. For carbs I got 1 kilo of rice, 2 kilos potatoes, and 2 kilos of flour. For vegetables I got 1 plant of salad, 5 tomatoes, 1 kilo of sauerkraut, and 300g of pickles.

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested
