Coffee-loving musician and ex-software developer. I'd love to write the music for your game! https://www.soundcloud.com/observerherb
If you love puzzle games and haven't played Hourglass by Cyberwave Games, it's a super solid first-person Portal-like. The environment has some elements of The Sojourn mixed with the recorder mechanic from Talos. They did a very good job with execution. Never got boring.
My topolinos are sleeping through National Sunflower Day this year.
Vivaldi couldn't use Ubuntu 20.04's ffmpeg version anymore, so it was finally time to update Mommabird's PC to Elementary OS 8. Wow. What a dumpster fire. Buggiest Elementary version since Freya.
"Go see the wildflowers," I said to myself. "It'll be worth it. It'll be beautiful." It was.
Purple and Maroon? That's kind of like having an 11 on your guitar amp's volume knob. Why can't we just have Red be the worst? I feel like this air quality scale is like... Good Bad Ugly Death Very Much Death Instant Death Dead On Arrival Death Incarnate
Spain and Argentina in the World Cup final! BEST WORLD CUP FINAL EVER!!!!
I broke Jack in OG Tekken Tag Tournament tonight. XD
Dammit, Steam! I was in the middle of a fight with a Tekken King ranked Alisa and actually holding my own (I was still going to lose but that's no the point). Why your servers go down now!?!?!
Got Heresy switched over to Box3D. Super easy library to integrate! Made an ebuild for it if you're on Gentoo and don't want to clutter up your system with manual builds. github.com/ObserverHerb...
Line cooks in training: "Yeah yeah of course obviously oh yeah uh huh of course" Line cooks when they're on their own: "NOBODY TOLD ME I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT NOBODY SAID ANYTHING NOBODY TOLD ME HOW TO DO THAT" Cry me a river.
I really wanted to see the U.S. in the finals but I just learned of Trump's attempt at meddling in the red card situation and that has me feeling like this ass beating from Belgium was a kind of poetic justice.
Today I'm scheduled with The Pervert. Just me and him in the back. He absolutely HATES me because I'm the only other male who will call him out and won't let him turn the kitchen into a frat house. What a fun shift this will be. Hopefully I come back alive. 🙃🫠
Jfc can Sully Erna sing. Easily my favorite metal vocalist. Has been for a long, long time.
"How bad is the wind where you live, Herb?" Why it's snap trees right off in the center bad, of course.
Spent a day trying to recreate my guitar rig on Linux and the process has taught me a lot about what I'm actually doing. Guitar Rig 7's Ultrasonic amp sim is modeling a Bogner Überschall and with neural amp models and impulse responses, I can recreate it using generic tools.
This was quite the sight tonight! This is a picture from Stellarium because I don't have the equipment to capture a picture of the real thing. The sky looked like a canvas everything was painted on and the moon looked like a paper cutout. It was gorgeous.
Wow, guys, rude!!! That glass of whiskey you just died in was from a $50 bottle.
Woke up, built a jambalaya in the slow cooker, then went outside and gardened until I couldn't stand gardening anymore. Wish all my days off could be like this.
It's official, I'm back on Linux. I went full Windows because of my stream, but with Copilot and Win11's quality issues it doesn't "Just Work™" anymore. Linux has come a long way in the last 10 years and some games even run better through WINE/DXVK than native.
Google changed their icons again, so now I have to relearn how to find all of their apps. I swear they're like a grocery store. As soon as you find your way around they change the layout so you have to waste time in the store relearning how to get work done.
David Halberstam's books on the Korean and Vietnam wars have impressed on me how careerism infects politics and the military. Many men, given a choice between saving lives or getting their next star, will choose the next star, then set someone up to take the fall for the deaths.
If anybody out there somewhere is wondering where my stream has been, it'll be back soon! Life got crazy for a sec. Social battery has been on like 20%.
If you have to tell someone something is obvious, then obviously it wasn't obvious. You're obviously wrong by merely having to say it was obvious.
