Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? what an idiotic question. who DOESN'T want to be a millionaire...
I think the smartest Gen Alpha kids are gonna be smarter than any previous generation, but the majority of them are still getting shafted education-wise
TIL you can tell Google which sites you want to see more/less of in searches: www.google.com/preferences/...
oh yeah. Unfortunately the syrupyy.cafe merch store has been closed. just don't want to maintain it right now, gonna wait for my YouTube content to come back I'm not aware of any unshipped orders, but if I missed any, let me know and I'll reship or refund you

It doesn't matter if your game engine can export perfect Mac and Linux versions with one button press. unless you put a gun to your users' heads and force them to, they'll never click it
had a dream I was talking to toby fox on discord after adding him through ludwig somehow. woke up and felt like grinding on making my game. fuck dude
when you feel bad about yourself, the question to ask is "do the cards suck or am I playing the wrong moves?" if you're playing the wrong moves, learn the right ones; if the hand sucks, bide your time until you get better cards
discord account stealers are trying to psych you the fuck out, be careful everyone
I think Bluesky is gonna stay weird almost-Twitter for a very long time. and that's fine because I like it. It's slightly more tolerable with the For You feed than the one on Twitter. I do less learning but that's fine

when I was a kid, I had a dream that Obama announced the US discovered Pokémon were real and they would be giving out starters to 3 random 10 year olds, and my name got called out on live television as one of the trainers
Genius really needs to add a "album this song is actually from" feature. like Michael Jackson's whole post-Motown discography shows up wrong on there because they rereleased all of his albums on one obscure iTunes compilation from 2013
being white is having two friend groups: one that says racial slurs despite being told to stop many times, and another that mentions how they're better than the first friend group before going on about how all homeless people are rapists and murderers. Neither one includes a single person of color
my priorities for this year: - Learn to read my email - release as much slop as possible (focus on making and posting things rather than spending ages polishing them) - start full-time work on Dreamnet Online (April!!!!!) - Update CS finally - finish PaintRush or open source & kill it if it sucks
