feeling bad

thinking about shaders to recreate old digicam look by reimplementing low resolution imperfect bayer demosaicing

only theoretically because i can't shaders

there should be a demoscene for winamp avs presets

thinking about someone replying to something i said on a tech discord with "lua 🤮" and imagining what if normal, non-computer, people had this kind of opinion with their trade tools. "hammers 🤮 i only affix nails to wood using the back of my screwdriver"

i used to think basket case was a banger before i understood enough english to understand the lyrics

i still do, but i used to, too

people thought dilbert was funny because they thought scott adams was dilbert. scott adams thought dilbert was funny because he thought he was dogbert. the real truth is that scott adams was ratbert, spreading the plague

you can't prove dilberritos don't cause prostate cancer

@ultranurd own the bit. come back and greet them "hey Tuesday how's it going"

@selectric and also rip in piss

@selectric this blindsided me

@deepy yeah, a full friends list of "online" without any indication of whether they're actively looking at discord, or it's just in the background at their phones.. not the same

i think for the past 10 years i shifted from being close to people and shut myself into being close only with our polycule while communal spaces either abused me or banned me outright. i turned into a really socially anxious creature but the need for connection is still there

i love getting messages from people. if you're a mutual and i haven't talked to you in ever and you want to please message me. this is a problem on my end

it's funny, on one paw i miss chatting one on one with people on MSN, on another i feel discouraged to do so in any modern fashion today

and i can't put my digit on what exactly changed. is the difference in UI/UX paradigm all there is to it? did i change? did my circles change?

while i do think that there was a lot of fucked up stuff that shouldn't have been as easy as it was for 10 year old me to find, i also think today's internet is far too sterile

all my friends are on lesbiaboard you should join it

i wish fxtwitter would link to nitter or nitter would render embed cards so you don't have to link to the same post twice on both URLs
