Fuck sake this is getting ridiculous

I have become a 6am gym goer, what is happening to me

Writing my slides for the upcoming @matrix conference talk. it's going very well

fuck sake how did this happen

[film, horror, minor spoiler] Did anyone else see Weapon (the film) recently? We came out of the cinema and have entirely different feelings to all the reviews that came out. Derivative as hell

Whoever did this, I salute you. 🫡

Scrolling an AI company website: "20 billion predictions made each day" mate what the fuck are you predicting

Cool thank you British broadcasting corporation.

the unmistakable kiss of raw chicken :blobfoxscared:

[mini-rant] Hot take but: If you're asking someone why they might need E2EE for their chat messenger, then you're probably sitting on some mighty fine throne of privilege my friend.

Left my mouse behind in the office. :halfy_sleepy: 💡The PS5 controller can work as a touchpad out of the box on Linux.

Reading pride was awesome, got to take my partner around the route for the first time too ❤️. #pride

I was in a grumpy mood from hyperfocusing a bit too long and messing up dinner, but my boyfriend got me ice cream and now I am good again ❤️ :blobfoxheart:

I accept my fate. I don't know why I find this so funny :D

[food, meat] Made some flatbreads on Friday with a beef topping (minced, marinaded in garlic and chili, and spices) alongside some fresh yogurt, herbs and chips. Having made too much beef, Saturday was sponsored by fresh pizza with the same beef (now […] [Original post on mastodon.half-shot.uk]

Finally hit the gym properly today and did some weight and strength exercises alongside my usual running. Felt great :)

[anti-ai] cool stock android features: If I swipe up on my home screen, it tries to do an AI image search of my background by default. Which is of me and my partner. Because every time I mis-swipe I want to give Google bits of my life to train itself on. Cool feature /s

mmmmmmm Chipzel's Spectra is good for the stressed mind :halfy_mow:

these captchas are getting insane....

When you follow me you get Good Food

Made really good food, holidays are great for expanding your palette a bit. This is poached white fish with roasted asparagus and leeks, with a honey mustard sauce. For pure showoff points I put a few dabs of chilli oil in the sauce.

Coming back home and forgetting to update my PC leading to this cursed screen.

Happy Sunday Folks 🌇 After much procrastination, I've formally started my gamedev blog series! The introduction is fairly short and sweet so please give it a read https://half-shot.uk/blog/kobold-kombat-intro/ and let me know what should be my next topic to tackle :)

Hey hey, sorry folks if I've left you unread over the last few weeks. It's been mad busy online & offline and struggling to do my self care, let alone messaging! I'm working my way through people ❤️

[javascript, self inflicted injury] I really really would love to get behind ESModules, but every time I work on a project with it, it's like sticking needles into my eyes

Fediverse question: If I want to migrate my instance to GoToSocial, could I keep the same handle @halfy@ half-shot.uk or would I need to setup the instance on a new domain? My real domain is mastodon.half-shot.uk but I use the webfinger thing to redirect it.

Put my mastodon into the brand spanking new k3s cluster. The community helm charts for masto either are crazy complicated, rotted, or awful so I had to write one that does just what I need. It's good though, waaaay less effort to maintain.

Going to a furry gamedev meetup later today, where I'm sure everyone will have a lovely little career making these wonderful games, and there is me hyperfixating on making accurate fire entities for worms.

Because I am not server-admin well off but I need a server rack, we are building: The LACK rack

I have two more bisexual pride flags 💙 💜 than bisexuals in my house, would anyone like a free one (provided shipping to you is not an absolute pain)

@brendan do you have signal?

If the federation traffic on my instance got replaced by an AI trained on all the data on my instance, how long would it take me to notice I am taking to imaginary friends. (Thanks @thibaultamartin for the thought)

woopwoop, half-shot.uk got approved for fediring.net :)

Are there any free game design resources out there that I can use to guide my own work? I'm not looking for a cheat sheet on how to be a designer, but it would be nice to have some info about common approaches that I can use as a basis of my own. #gamedev

this thing on?

Latest Kobold Kombat updates: * Background music, finally. Still quite basic, but there is a cool transition system when there is action on screen! * Improvements to damage rendering, weapon performance and the rain effect. * Custom levels are a bit better behaved. Still a few bugs to […]

Applied to fediring.net to add https://half-shot.uk/ to it, and added some little web buttons. I thought it would make the site look silly, but actually I really dig the style.

Actually Google, I'd razher you took out ze AI features and didn't charge me more.

[AI negative] I'm learning to play the piano, because it feels good to conjure up a tune and have your fingers slide across the keys. I know full well I could go out and buy a CD, or download a MIDI file and the computer will play the same tune better than me. But there is no fun or enjoyment […]

Started going paddleboarding more often, it's been really good fun to just plonk myself in a lake and chill with the warm weather and warmish water. No phone or devices, just total disconnection for a bit.

with every year i age my typos get wose

I swear 99% of my bugs in JS is where a package in the ecosystem drops commonJS support (fine), and then the consumer library fails to notice and blindly breaks support by including it.

[negative, nostalgia] I feel bad for people just getting onto the internet these days, there are so many iritiating things we didn't have when I was growing up: * Cookie prompts * PROVE TO ME YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT (10 times please) * Payment barriers to read content * Sloppy slop slop […]

Made a little bug. Judge my extremely poor soldering skills. Also, never buy cheap wire.

Lunch noodles, gone back to my veggie tofu life 😊
