Back in the olden days (90s) how long do you remember playing a given game? These days it feels like a new game is maybe a "two month" thing and then I don't usually replay it or continue. Back then walkthrus were less available and there were fewer games released, did we play them longer?

For my next year day planner I'm getting kind of tired of stickers and I'm planning on just hand drawing most of whatever, and especially drawing my own random characters from over the years.

A common occurrence as I have been reading through Homestuck et al.

Song: Dhoom Machaale 🪩 Me: Dhoom Machhalee 🐟

Sidenote I really like talking to y'all 💕

Wish I had more brain bandwidth 😩

Probably going to start on #christmashorse next weekend. 🎅🐴 #gamedev

Coca Cola could have hired me to animate a Christmas commercial in Macromedia Flash '99 for cheaper than their GenAI subscription. (* Proof of concept drawn in Fossify Paint Beta)

RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@Moosader/115511414103228888 Toot toot, losers.

Ooh gamedev place lets us quote toot now.

I am glad that I was able to make a webpage for mom updates, and that mom's friends were able to add comments to the guestbook before mom passed. She got to see comments from former coworkers from when she was a middle school teacher, and fellow volunteers from the Harry Truman museum and the […]

Once, I was working on a Python interface to a software package named "Liquid," so I named it "big-boss." That way, if you ran `git clone big-boss`, you'd get Liquid Snake. https://mastodon.social/@tef/115506180856099799

Being into computers these days is like having learned to become a wizard cuz of cool magic to help people and make the world better but as an adult the world is actively being terrorized by evil wizard bros and their evil wizard magic making life terrible and dangerous.

Watching the American Experience episode on The Gilded Age. It will be interesting in the future to see historical documentaries from the HD era, I guess from the 2010s on? But I also worry about how Generative AI will affect documenting events and daily life for posterity.

Such a useful "AI Summary". Thanks, YouTube. 🙄

World building idea: throw all your baskets of clean laundry on your bed. Have the laundry piles represent the topology of your game land - mountains, plains, cat infested corners.

I might also convert my "office hours" next semester into more of a "coworking study time" and maybe find a classroom to work from, so people can come and go and ask questions. I do get drop-ins for office hours (which I usually call "student hours"), but maybe if it's a bit more casual and […]

I like that on Mastodon I've now talked to both a @cubeofcheese and @20000lbs_of_Cheese

There is so much I'd like to experiment with for online, asynchronous classes, but I feel like I'm not really permitted the opportunity to focus on that. A lot of teachers seem to take the stance that teaching an online course means a "worse experience" for students and also "the teacher gets […]

So as the semester is heading into its last month, I've been thinking about challenges to tackle for next semester. This probably isn't a problem unique to me but I do get some amount of students falling behind by weeks and then contacting me around now to get help with catching up, so we make a […]

Idea for how to thwart YouTube's auto-translation and dub system: Just switch your speaking between multiple languages throughout the video.

Updating my Hindi flash card web app to have mnemonic images to help me remember words. Back when Memrise was community built and everyone could put their own mnemonics that really helped me with memorizing Esperanto words. Anyway, WIP.

So I was handed a paper card with a prayer to god on it, at a Christian hospital (my doctor moved hospitals during this process) and do Christians just assume that EVERYONE is Christian? Or do they think that everyone's going to be appreciative of a prayer to someone else's god? I don't get it.

So if I want to buy some basics like nail files, n95 masks, and a potato masher, but I want to avoid Amazon and Target, where should I shop? (Have also heard bad things about how CVS treats its pharmacists. Don't know about Walgreens.) Is Hy-Vee okay? They say employee owned.

How the heck did two different students start working on the same model in the semester Shopazon project?? Someone wasn't paying attention to ticket assignments. 😭

This week's discussion board for one of my classes is to read some articles I found on various instances of data collection for surveillance in the news. Doorbells, flock cameras, gait detection, there's even a KCUR article about the ShotSpotter gunshot "detection" system from 2023 and how it […]

Every time I hear someone IRL say axolotl I have to resist telling them what the real pronunciation is. 🥲

To nap or not to nap, that is the question.

Streaming Hindi study / coding flash cards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOKbjbQ0u5Y #hindi

https://moosadee.gitlab.io/web/portal.html Gonna be working on Hindi flashcards and stuff to help me study. Putting 'em on my webgames portal. :P The first one listed is what I'm working on now, the next 3 are ones I made while taking a Hindi class in 2016 - 2017.

Cafe Cà Phê in #kansascity is doing a food drive where you can bring in a nonperishable item for 1% off your drink, and you can donate up to 10 items for 10% off.

I'm watching YouTube on my """smart""" TV, which I rarely do, and two of the three ads this break used AI. One was clearly AI video (about a CRM) and the other one had AI generated speech. The only not-AI ad was for Hamilton coming to Kansas City.

Also need to start working on #christmashorse since it's officially November now.

Might do some gamedev tonight and do a morning stream tomorrow. I do have some class prep to still do but since today ended up being free, I have more time than expected this weekend.

I have so many ponkins 🎃

I guess I'll take all this food and apple cider to work on Monday.

Man.

I was wondering why Pixel was pawing at this Aldi bag then realized Luna was hanging out in it. #cats

EWWW I have this little humidifier but I've only been using it as a night light for a long time. Just opened it up and it's full of bugs, alive and dead. 😳🥴😫

Oh my god I'm so dysregulated right now

Drawing with my friend's 4 year old. He tells me what to draw and I draw it.

This is how Pixel demands to sleep with me every night.

Sometimes I think about doing short vlogs in Esperanto but then I feel like I have nothing interesting to say so what would I even make? 😅

Cancelling my office hours today cuz I need to catch up on cleaning the dang house and patio. 🥲 And I'm gonna be at work and in OP for most of tomorrow. 🥲🥲🥲

I need to renew my #geminiprotocol cert but I don't know how 😅 don't remember what resource I used the first time when I originally set up gemini.moosadee.com
