I absolutely love this chill glitch pop (?) album by Willow Beats, but I can't find anywhere to buy the mp3s ;_;

(If anybody knows where I can buy the digital album please lmk)

"I sure do love boardgames" they mused to themself, filling the 20th bag with manually punched-out cardboard coins. After 2 hours of organizing pieces and sifting through punchboards, the shiny new board game was finally ready to put back in the box and sit on a shelf for months.

I got SO frustrated at one point at . There was a great panel about how we don't have control over the engines and tools we use. About how small, open source engines are the way to do that.

They lamented the closure of walled gardens like Flash (I fear for Dreams in a hopefully far future), and how much culture is lost to the whims of the market.

They mentioned the contradiction of user vs corporate interests. They mentioned open source as an example to follow.

But when I asked...

@kednar For anybody that reads this and wants an open source pico8, the tic80 is very very fun and open source (and supports extra langs!)

@aeva I discovered the Orca lang the other day, and then was shown Orca Play to play with it in browser:

Opened the forever-closed-until-now world of music to me!

Also can DM you cute pics of my dog if you like fluffy dog.

Threw out my back last night and this morning has been an absolute adventure of pain.

Get out of bed? Not so fast!

Go down the stairs? Not a chance!

Need to pee? 30 minute sweaty odyssey clinging to walls and chairs.

Wild times

I bet evaporating feels nice. You get to just be a soft fluffy cloud and float around for a little bit, or perhaps a nice fog that blankets the city. I'm a bag of flavored water why can't I do that

of the day:
Do you have a “grail” pen(s)? What first drew you to it? What is preventing you from getting it?

mvu,
@mvu@peoplemaking.games avatar

@penfount I'm more or less "done" buying new fountain pens for a while, but my grail was/is the striped Pilot Myu.

I spent a day in Tokyo last year (on a stopover) and scoured second hand pen stores but couldn't find one -- the process soured me quite a bit, as I'm used to fountain pens being a "nerd" hobby and not a "luxury" hobby. Several of the used pen stores in Japan really leaned into the luxury aspect, and the clerks eyed me [not very luxe looking] like I just walked into a Chanel wearing socks and sandals. Felt gross. I stopped my search for the grail pen since.

I did end up at Kakimori which I guess is kinda "medium end"? Much better vibes, bought some neat ballpoint pens.

I don't know if it's the dpad or just frustrating design decisions, but wants me to do things that the controls are absolutely not tight enough to achieve.

    @pikuma I don't know the details, but sounds like someone leaked course files.

    That's really rough, but I think ultimately inevitable as you grow your business and catalog. If something's worth buying, then it'll be worth stealing to someone.

    It happens to all levels of creators, from AAA games to onlyfans accounts. I think all you can do is re-interperet the scenario as a sign of success (albeit an annoying one). The people stealing your stuff wouldn't have paid for it anyways, but now they might talk about your courses to people who might (attempt at a positive spin).

    Anyways, your NES course has been on my wishlist for a while -- picking it up now. While there may be people willing to steal your content for whatever reasons, there's still lots of people who are more than willing to pay for your work. ♥️

    good riddance to everybody who doesn't use zig because they want unused variables in their code.

    I hate reading your code, and I've constructed a life for myself where I don't have to anymore.

    every time you complain, I celebrate my life achievement.

    mvu,
    @mvu@peoplemaking.games avatar

    @andrewrk I'm gonna fill my Zig code with

    var g:i1 = 0;
    g = 0;

    And never use g again just to spite you.

    (JK I love Zig and have never unused a variable in my life)

    Ok so I've got dumbbells and a kettlebell, I've used a barbell before, but today I learned that there's a MACE BELL.

    It's literally just a mace.

    I'm going to get a macebell and live out my blunt weapon fantasies in the back yard grinding irl exp.

    Working on some visuals to add to the card game I posted about! Got a cool set of pixel cards off itch.io to work with from https://the-wild-kin.itch.io/kin-pixel-playing-cards

    Re-link to game rules (no images added just yet) https://mvu.one/pages/duel-of-nobles.html

    @mvu@peoplemaking.games avatar

    A question on here spurred me to publish an old standard-deck-of-cards game I wrote (based heavily on an existing game, credited in post) on my blog.

    It's a battling game where you have the noble cards duel it out (politically) by allying with supporters and keeping those alliances secret.

    It's really fun, but I honestly don't know if it's actually playable without a couple of visual aids, which I'll see about making and adding later.

    Anyways, give it a read / tweak / try if you're into this kinda thing. Feedback appreciated!

    of the day:
    Have you had any fountain pen disasters—like dropping a favorite pen, or a pen snapping in half? How did you feel and what did you do about it?

    mvu,
    @mvu@peoplemaking.games avatar

    @penfount I left my Ystudio pen sitting too long inked and the ink ate through the plastic seal and now the neck leaks right around the nib and it's unusable 😭

    mvu,
    @mvu@peoplemaking.games avatar

    @paradoxmo Could be! I've just taken it as an expensive lesson and try to keep my other pens in-use or cleaned out.
    Contacting customer support sounds like more of a hassle than it's worth 😅

    Pen still looks good as a non-functional chunk of brass.

    @LeviKornelsen it looks good!

    I'm wondering tho, if you outlined all the pieces with a silvery/white background, could you achieve a stained glass look kinda like before? (But hand drawn this time!)

    i may work as a front end engineer but i often don't talk about it because the space it littered with blowhards i'd rather not associate with.

    but gosh i've seen some bad takes around TailwindCSS over the last year. one said Tailwind is for men (uhh, go back to gendering restrooms) and today I saw one saying Tailwind is for people who don't know CSS (lol sure whatever)

    all i am actually hearing is that these people are lonely and need a friend but their attitude pushes everyone away

    @zicklepop Pfff yeah us tailwind enjoyers know CSS...
