messier 87 black hole, glitch art
decided to play around and make some glitch art
first image is the original, nabbed from the sidebar on https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1907a/ , credit for the image goes to the Event Horizon Telescope team's collaboration~
(this is all made with audacity)
If you do small time indie Dev I can't recommend Kenney's Asset packs enough. lots and lots of both super Cheap asset packs and totally CC0 stuff. great for prototyping or placeholders

building fire, anecdote
“I had to admit to myself that this was in fact a perfectly rational point of view, it merely started from an unexpected premise,” Adams wrote. The essence of a building is its design, the intention of the builder. The materials may decay and be replaced, but these are only instantiations of a persistent idea. “I couldn’t feel entirely comfortable with this view, because it fought against my basic Western assumptions,” Adams wrote, “but I did see the point.”

I am glad I did order a replacement pad for my Rpi3b, since the old 360 wired pad I use is kinda showing its age. If worst comes to worst, I can just plug it into my pc instead of my ds4 if needs be then.
(I got the SN30 because eh fuck it it's a nice looking pad with cute colours and I can probably work around the old SNES pad form factor)
oh it knew it had a ds4 controller connected. but it couldn't/wouldn't connect to it. because as far as it was concerned, EVEN when DS4Windows was RUNNING at that point, it didn't exist.
I had to manually go into device manager, figureo ut which "HID-device whateverthefuckjargonhere" was the keyboard and mouse, then uninstall them all, then tell it to check for hardware changes. suddenly the pad works again.
goddamn i hate ds4windows i hate that it just fucking breaks things
so my ps4 controller worked just fine with everything on steam, but the moment I had to use a controller with anything outside of steam, I was SOL.
DS4windows makes a ps4 pad work like an xinput pad. theoretically. and yes, it does work.
the problem BEING that, even when it isn't running, it HAS installed a bunch of "game controllers" as far as windows is concerned.
which meant Windows suddenly stopped recognising my ds4.

Everyone's sharing the close-up image of the black hole itself, which is neat, but here is a zoomed-out view of the gigantic mass of space-stuff that it is busily consuming: http://chandra.harvard.edu/blog/node/719
