They finally cracked the Mayan calendar, and the reason they couldn't before is that the 819 days of the calendar have to be viewed across a 45-year time period to fully understand. 🤯
The Mayans were wild, man

Hah, i think I figured out a way to bypass #pico8 's range of possible values. It doesn't look pretty, though.

One more #picotron data format for the road. pods are used to represent any structured data, and used by the clipboard, disk storage (each file is a pod), as rich text, and as inter-process messages. Don't know if I want to display pictures in the code editor [by default] though!
Today I opened up the controller for an old Lasko fan that stopped working and the infrared LED seems to have detached itself from the printed circuit board... No way I can fix this, and replacements are like 17 USD
Eh, the fan is pretty old and likely to stop working soon, anyway.
Today I learned there's a programming language completely in Spanish called Latino and I'm feeling a NEED to try it out

Why do they spell it "Colour", "Honour" and "Favour" in the United Kingdom?
Because Rick Astley is British.

A little-known fact about Mastodon is that when you move your account, it gets put on a truck and then shipped to the new server. Here, for instance, are users employing I-195 to move between servers.
Redownloaded Infinifactory and I just spent awake till 6 am optimizing my existing solutions 😅

I put some fonts I've drawn for my games available on Itch. Since I'm clueless about fonts they're just image files for now, though: https://hempuli.itch.io/hempuli-font-bundle

What happens under the hood when plotting a #picotron pixel, in 12 steps. easy peasy lemon squeezy
Unfortunately it is almost unrecognizable from the functionality it is designed to enable, though! Later on I'll make a gif or something to visualize how this ends up as transparency in sprites, shadow rendering, and clipping masks etc.
