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.

@gsuberland god damnit I was going to go to bed

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 โ€œgrailโ€ 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. โ™ฅ๏ธ

    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)
