I am begging people, talk to your artists that you appreciate.

Give them some encouragement. Tell them what you love. Gush a bit even.

If it wasn’t for some random DM in my inbox this morning, I’d be taking my internal compulsion to close up shop a lot more seriously tonight than I am.

Artists are tired, exhausted even.

I am *lucky* to do this as a glorified hobby.

Others’ abilities to get bread on the table depend on coin that isn’t coming in.

Don’t leave words left unsaid as well.

i just want to be hired to do and recommend me chill games for the other robots. im sorry i went on it to all stop and think about how upset i only now realized, i cannot fucking tell the difference between TTL serial and RS232 serial you will be anger directed at a subtweet to many games, but I don't know anybody? it seems like someone would pay a $150k/year computer prima donna. All that AND it’s a killer designer? For real: hire it!

gritty docudrama titled "far away in time: the echo beach story"

having just effortlessly removed an entire dip ic without ruining any of the pads on a 40 year old PCB i'm officially a desoldering gun fan

Not to alarm you about modern software but "emulate a complete 486/120 system and play an MP3 in it" turns out to be one of the more CPU and memory efficient ways to listen to music on my laptop.

what if... video GAYS — now your'e speaking my language....................

i unfortunately have way too many boundaries to be a good sub

turns out the carriage starts at an offset of 60 steps, so when i was scaling data to a full page width of 960 steps everything was offcenter to the right. i've corrected this in pypenwriter and made it not issue redundant moves to minimise penup/pendown noise

(this picture being offcenter is just due to the scale not matching the paper)

my sister @angela really needs a break and some good things towards its way right about now

WEREWOLVES VERSUS makes me proudest of everything I've made or been a part of. I had a goofy idea in 2015, and it turned into a sprawling, 11-part project that showcased the work of over 120 people, including some of my favourite authors and artists. https://werewolvesversus.com/issues

Voting for the Queer Indie Awards closes tomorrow! If you've read an issue of WEREWOLVES VERSUS and enjoyed it (or if you haven't but like the idea of 2000+ pages of very queer werewolf prose, poetry, essays, art, comics, & music, available as a "pay what you want" thing), please consider voting! https://forms.gle/rDRrgJKaKxhJbPAr7

is there any source of the little MAX3232 converter boards on ebay that don't use fake chips that immediately burn themselves up or make the FTDI i plug into them short and blow up
