fuck yeah NOW we're gaming

anyway just wasted several hours trying to cross-compile something that i could probably have waited for the tiny 1ghz pocketchip compile itself

i really wish cross-compiling was possible. you'd think we should be able to use multiple-ghz machines to compile for smaller ones. oh well

sometimes i really wish i knew at least one other person who knows how to compile things to pick their brain

i wish i could make any programmer friends, lol

this post brought to you by me trying to run fs-uae on a pocketchip

i wish it was easier on linux to grab shit-old emulators that have piss-poor accuracy but can run on your grandma's 486. rolling releases are great for support until all of the software it brings needs a quadcore with fuck-you ram

fs-uae-launcher is massive and doesn't fit on a 800x480 screen, i have to use X11 forwarding to set things on another computer, and i can't even find where the system settings for video etc are being stored, it sure as hell isn't on either of the folders it creates in .config

fs-uae is miserable to use on anything but the latest and greatest huh

oh, oh, laptop speakers, everybody's always selling gutted laptop spare parts

by which i mean i'm more upset that i can't easily find loose parts like this in-country so that shipping is quicker

i need a tiny speaker and i don't know what to rip one out of without having to order parts from china (i have no issue ordering parts from china, i just want one now)

when i last talked about this when my fiancée linked a kitchen appliance shop website from the UK that i couldn't see for the same reason, someone asked me "what? does it happen that often?"

yes. yes it does

it has been 0 days since i've ran into a website i never heard of before having wording that means that i, personally, am arbitrarily blocked from viewing it, because i decided to spawn in the wrong part of the world

but when china does it, it's an outrage

(and if i get it running on this kernel there's no guarantee it'll work on the stock 4.4 kernel)

i have never used tic-80 but someone asked if the pocketchip can run it and now i'm half-tempted to try compiling it but their cmake system seems like a mess

this is the pico-8 of all time

yeah no shit i don't want to release my code, with the attitude they have after i say i won't

people (generally idiots) are so willing to overlook all of your open source contributions the moment you want to keep 1 (one) project closed source

the old screen on my pocketchip died, so i got a replacement and upgrade, almost double the resolution!

all it took was uhhhhh don't look in the back
