finally hacked ijanet up to behave like the scheme REPL. very excited about this!
gameboy color speaker replaced using ds lite speaker. sounds quieter than I expected. but better than no sound at all. this, combined with the new case I got for it, makes it almost feel like a brand new device :)
rx pixel editor looks seen on HN today looks interesting to me (and the sort of thing Iâve wanted to build), but the vulkan support seems like overkill. Also, my graphics cards drivers are broken on Alpine, so the program probably wonât run. trying anyways.
Voidcall â Making Of
Like last year with Underrun, I participated in this yearâs js13kGames â a JavaScript game development competition with a file size limit of 13kb, including code, assets and everything else. My entry was Voidcall, a Real-time Strategy game.

If you want to play videos in a native app or game you basically have three options:
Are there any free AS/400 emulators floating around that would give a feel for what itâs like to use the system? (Support for running arbitrary IBM binaries optional)
One thing that Pet Sematary (2019) has over the 1989 version is that it actually looks like it was shot in the north country & people actually dress, act, & decorate like thatâs where they are.
Hey, does Amazing Stranger share staff with Battle Programmer Shirase or is there just a lot of accidental style similarities for, like, budget and format reasons?

Hot take: language is like sculpture, in that each word acts as a constraint that cleaves off parts of the infinite space of possible meaning.
OK I canât fault the DomeKano anime for dropping a younger girl who looks almost exactly like Hina & is tsundere from a scene that would be in the last episode but if she doesnât become a repeat character I will be shocked
The most unrealistic part of Super Dimension Fortress Macross is the way that the translated ancient pop song could be broadcast on the radio. All the ancient sumerian pop songs are shit like âletâs cover each other in honey and lick it offâ
People whose dating profile consists entirely of their nationality are incomprehensible to me, but not quite as incomprehensible as the ones that are blank or have some useless placeholder like âaskâ. The point of a dating site is that you get to see compatibility before starting a convo, yâknow
Reading the DomeKano manga, I keep running into stuff where itâs like, I donât remember them happening in the anime but they must have, but at the same time I would have thought I would have remembered them. Maybe the constant bombshells produced twist fatigue.
despite the temporary break of last weekend, i still feel like iâve been going at full power
Analogue Mega Sg Review: Sounds Like a Winner https://tedium.co/2019/03/26/analogue-mega-sg-review/
the pattern on charmin toilet paper looks like eyes & even though itâs almost definitely accidental i sitll find it wonderfully suvbersive
In case you havenât read the Oshiete Galko-chan manga & have only heard about it: itâs gorgeous, in a really innovative style, heartwarming & funny, & also peopleâs tshirts say things like âcamel toe â and âsnowman pornoâ
holy shit did the domekano anime cut like most of the literature club shit? i donât remember them going camping & hina getting stung by a wasp
âYou like horror movies, huh? What are your favorite genres?â âWell, mostly gothic & art deco, but Burnt Offerings was a fantastic greek revival flickâ
OK so one thing I donât like about the DomeKano manga is the way the plaid bottoms in their school uniform are so clearly done with a single sheet of overlay per frame (or maybe even per page). Itâs distracting, the way they donât match the fabric folds.
Hot take: Mondo 2000 should do what Fangoria did & release a very fancy very thick periodical like once a year for about a hundred bucks.
most of my professors prefer that students leave computers in backpacks anyway so itâs not like classes will be harder

A good user interface is a lot like a standup routine: you take the deep knowledge of an audience and twist it in creative ways so that they now understand something they couldnât have imagined on their own.
Other ways in which UX is like stand-up comedy: if you omit the setup, the punchline wonât land; reading the room is a vital skill
The only outright negative review my game has gotten thus far starts with the reviewer saying making a VN should be a crime against humanity. Like, thanks for leading with the admission that youâre not part of the target audience & your opinion doesnât matter.
People love to talk about the potential security impact of exotic state-of-the-art shit like GPT-2 and deepfakes, but theyâre neither convincing nor the lowest-effort effective way to create disinfo. Spinners scale better than GPT-2.

An anime being âbig in americaâ is like a punk band being âbig in japanâ: a common but rarely intentional side effect of globalization, notable mostly as trivia.
DomeKano is like the Mayoiga of harem-drama and I love it.
A lot of people are going to start watching Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka, and then say âthis looks like trashâ and stop watching it. Theyâre right, and itâs a shame. Higurashi had the same problem.
I really like the concept of Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka: a mahou shoujou show where the focus is firmly on the combat PTSD of child soldiers. Itâs a shame that the production Quality was melting from frame 1.
but i still feel like iâm not super good at directing all this productive energy that i now have towards actual school
i feel like iâve been getting a lot more done with the radio station than i ever have been able to doâŚ

A lot of large software projects are so bad that liking them should automatically disqualify someone from working on them, unless you like them in a masochistic semi-sexual way.
This movie is fuckinâ wild https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYeJfYso9os Itâs like Contact meets The Parallax View with Charlie Sheen
Public service announcement: markets & capitalism arenât the same thing. You can have non-capitalist or even anti-capitalist markets (ex., cases where progressive taxes actually make rentseeking infeasible, or markets without private property). You can have capitalism without markets (like inside a corporation).
I feel like the simplified and cliched ideas about slashers that informed Scream kept me from discovering the strange and wonderful world of actually-good slashers like Sleepaway Camp, Happy Birthday to Me, Tourist Trap, etc. Like, a lot of them are surreal and moody and great.
All of the negative reviews of Alita are like âit follows the manga even when it shouldnât, which makes it not feel like a hollywood movie, & it fits 4.5 volumes of manga into a 2 hour movieâ
All of the positive reviews of Alita are like âit follows the manga even when you donât expect it to, which makes it not feel like a hollywood movie, & does the best job it possibly could fitting 4.5 volumes of manga into a 2 hour movieâ
