I see my code, to some extent, as like a form of art. That is why I enjoy writing it myself. I’ve used an LLM at work and it’s like babysitting a comically stupid idiot.

Still on Caves of Qud. I must’ve pissed off the wrong person at some point because now everyone at Six Day Stilt attacks me and I can’t turn in the books I found anymore.

Umm, how do most people feel about sauerkraut? It goes well with mashed potatoes and pork, or on a hotdog.

The thing I miss about those TVs (and old game consoles) is that you push the power button and it was on instantly. No booting up. No splash screen. No ten-second delay during which I’m forced to think about all my poor decisions. Just instant, somewhat blurry entertainment.

It doesn’t help that all the fancy tubes and playthings for hamsters were expensive as fuck. I dreamt of a complex pipe structure spanning the width of my wall. All I could afford was a couple curve pieces and a ball that they could roll around in.

Do people not simply toss the clothes on a pile on top of a dresser? Am I the weird one?

I kept accidentally summoning the AI assistant on my mom’s tablet so I told it to fuck off. It was like “words can hurt!” So I told it to fuck off again.

Still playing Caves of Qud. Probably will be playing that for quite a while (relatively speaking… I mean I tend to lose interest in most things after so many hours).

Yeah except I can’t get back to sleep until like 5:30.

Got back into Caves of Qud recently. I gave up on it a while back, but I have a renewed interest in it and it’s going well.

I read this comment as a joke, but yeah. As much as you’d pay to support others, others would be paying to support you. The idea is that society would function like a living organism instead of as a big fuckin contest.

I got burned out developing business software and lost my job after 13 years. I’m lucky if my previous game makes $100 in a year at this point. So now I’m wondering at what point I’ll need to give up on my dream of being a full time indie game dev and start looking for a new job.

I’ve dabbled in wood carving. Stuff like whittling, relief carving, and my favorite kind was chip carving.

I also enjoyed doing some wildlife photography.

Maybe the weirdest hobby I ever tried was when I made a home-made furnace for melting aluminum.

But the thing I spend most of my spare time on by far is video game development (everything from the coding to the 3D modelling and animation and a little bit of sound design).

I’ve got a SpaceMouse Pro that, although useable with Blender, I haven’t been able to get it working as well as it did on windows, but I think that’s the only device I had any trouble with so far.

The soundtrack for Virgo Versus The Zodiac. It’s the only video game soundtrack I ever bought.

I don’t downvote (at least not intentionally - the buttons are right on the edge of my phone’s screen, and I have fat fingers). I don’t really see a benefit from it. I often wonder though about all the non-offensive, opinion related posts with one or two downvotes. Like are people really bothered by someone enjoying different things?

Started playing Monomyth recently. I’m not far in yet but seems pretty good so far.

Idiots making home-made explosives sounds like a problem that can solve itself eventually.

I randomly thought about a freeware game I played probably 20 years ago called Notrium and found out that it’s on Steam for $3.

people are surprisingly opinionated about it.

Getting repeatedly burned by soulless multibillion dollar comanies tends to do that to a person.
