i don't have a lot of friends at all. i don't have constant validation. most days i feel like if i dropped dead nobody would notice. one quick message (not a mindless star/heart click, please) helps turn that around a bunch.
making things online is lonely. i've made a bunch of tools and cool stuff online i shared with others not because i want fame and power but because i want people to enjoy them and tell me they enjoy it. i make things for others and i'm attention starved for the validation. if you ever enjoyed something i (or others) made, please, just shout us a thanks
that, and, i wish people would actually use the #webgbcam tag because then i could see that something i built is being used and enjoyed by people since direct feedback to me is so rare
i'm actually not at all happy with all the people i've caught passing off #webgbcam pictures as real #gameboycamera pictures. i think i built a really cool app that can simulate the original thing but i don't like being disingenuous about it. it is a camera filter, and doesn't capture images the same way the original CMOS does, and i don't think anyone should be misleading about that

@jcutting wow! i've never seen a #gameboycamera picture this ungrainy, either you used a really bright light to fix the CMOS ISO low or, judging from the scale and palette, used #webgbcam ? :)
feeling like i should watermark #webgbcam pictures so people stop passing them off as actual #gameboycamera pictures lol but also go play with it https://maple.pet/webgbcam

welcome to linux. your screensaver is set to ‘none’. the display power management settings UI is set to never switch off the screen. and the screen switches off every half an hour. this is because the “real” settings are in 19 bullshit files somewhere, and they all override each other. because it’s linux you can edit all 19 files yourself, it only takes a couple of hours! but by the time you’re done there’s been a package update that resets your changes. it also changed the config file format

i’m still constantly surprised that one of the biggest hurdles when learning anything gamedev related is not necessarily your technical know how, or even skill, it’s knowing the right specific terminology so that you know what questions to ask to find the right answers.
there’s about a dozen different ways of doing the same thing but only one is right for you…
learning something new i’m always struggling with what a specific thing is called so i can find the right rabbit hole to fall down.
linux is Fine. it's All Right. if you need something to run on a 10 year old laptop or know how to execute the ancient sacred runes. it's the proselytizing against windows that i tire of. your breaking updates are no better, bucko!!
windows is such a horrible operating system, it's completely unusable! you cannot do a single thing on it! now where was i resolving package dependency conflicts through ssh on a whole second computer to re-enable any use of my graphical interface

Tell your friends you care about them. You don’t know when you won’t be able to any more 😢
Extra remembering the times I’ve nearly joined them today. It’s hard. 😭.

New: Firefox users have reported an "artificial" 5-second delay when they try to load YouTube videos that is magically fixed if they use Chrome, which has been going viral in a few different places. I asked Google what is going on. They
1) Didn't deny the artificial wait time is happening
2) Said it's part of its war on ad blockers, not targeted at Firefox
Mozilla also told me no indication this is targeted at Firefox

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance 
🕯️.
If it's new to you, please research it and the issues, challenges, and threats we face that make today necessary. Remember the dead, and fight like hell for the living.

you know that quote that's often (erroneously) attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto -- "a late game is late until it releases, a rushed game is bad forever"?
well. turns out a trans woman game dev was the one who said it. huh.
https://www.acriticalhit.com/solved-miyamoto-quote-late-game-bad-forever
does anyone know how to do anything

I can't help but notice the new Apple laptops rate "Video Playback 22 hours, Web Browsing 15 hours" under battery life.
Congratulations web developers everywhere, it's now more computationally intense to render a webpage than video playback!
