Man, it's still wild to me that the N64's RAM uses 9 bits ber byte instead of 8. Even if ya can't use that 9th bit directly.

So, that new year's resolution I had. It's going... Somewhat. I've improved, but a long way to go still. It ain't the end of the year, but it's worth remembering your goals.

Nothing you create blindly with AI has any value to me. It's not about the end result. I want to know that someone cared about what they made. The cheap copy you made in an to attempt to prove AI can "replace you" just shows you don't care to understand. The value was never in the product alone.

Oops I'm late to posting this. I hope you all enjoyed our work on Venture into the Unknown! We worked hard on it, it took a full year, but god damn if it wasn't worth it with what came out of it.

Hey, if you see me online in vrc, I'd love you to invite me places. I don't tend to join peeps who are on orange because I don't want to intrude, but I often still want company. I'm on a lot, often in my home world so peeps can drop by and say hi. You should come say hi sometime.

New year's resolution, dev stuff aside: be less lonely. Be more willing to let people in, and try to be okay with having friends care about me. To stop deflecting as much and try to be vulnerable again, and let people actually care about me when they actually try to.

Either I'm losing my mind or there's been people I followed that I'm not following and people that were following me that aren't. Could be either, but ay. I'm trying to curate a feed here bsky, what are you doing :V

Too many projects. Slowly getting through em but man, I wish I was busy with smaller interesting things instead of slow moving big things right now. Big things are always coming. I just wish they were a little less big sometimes lmao

It seems Gumroad has suspended sale of the Collar & Leash system. I will be investigating, and if I cannot get it restored, I will announce where it will be sold instead and will send out codes to those who have already bought it to grab it again.

They brought the McGriddle here to aus. I tried it... This is what you guys were raving about? This is far too sweet, what the fuck - why would you not just use an english muffin, this is terrible lmao

I see discussions occasionally about having GUIs replacing command lines. And while I'm all for it, there's a point that I never see discussed. Part of why command lines work so much better than GUIs for some tasks is that GUIs require organization and hierarchy to work.
