wiring could've gone better, using stiff wires was an absolute mistake (i had a huge surplus i figured wouldn't have been a problem for this) but now hopefully everything is wired as i want it, just need a hole for the cable and i should be able to start writing code if everything works hopefully

just the follow-through with your ideas, no mater how bored of them you get, how tired of your project… find a way to finish it.
everyone has good ideas, good designs, exciting innovative concepts… not everyone has the discipline to see it through. that part is very hard.

getting good at making games involves mastering the basics sure but the longer i do this the more i’m convinced that “the basics” isn’t coding, design, art, innovative unique concepts, or UI… it’s developing the difficult habit of actually
*finishing something*
i play dress up pretending to be a woman every single day of my life and the one day that's meant for everybody else to dress up pretend i feel like i'm left out. happy halloween
i have no idea what the scope of ScummVM even is anymore at this point but i'm always excited to see them supporting more games to be played on modern machines https://manitu.social/@scummvm/113400231458632384
FUCK THE YANKEES

*youtuber voice* at only $1799, this product is a great budget option for those who are just getting into the hobby, and are maybe thinking about trying out an entry-level model

botsin.space PSA
Hey friends, it's hard to write this, but it's time to retire botsin.space. I wrote a post about it here: https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/
TLDR the site will go read-only on or around December 15th.
I'm so thankful for all the support and good times here ❤️ thanks everyone

the best prices i can find on eBay are around 60 pounds and even those i'm not fully sure aren't just DVD only drives with blu ray in the title same as the ones being sold for 17 quid
is there anywhere to get an external usb blu ray drive in the UK that's significantly less than 100 pounds that isn't Amazon or eBay scam listings for drives that are actually DVD only or did blu ray really become a dead format before ever going down in price like DVD did

i'm computer
almost 20 years in and bluray drives are still expensive huh?
what do you think is the most compromised commercial backport of a game? i used to think it was arcade recreations for the ZX spectrum until i found out there are atari 2600 versions of double dragon and ikari warriors

hackathon prompt: an hour long film is shown. you have 24h to submit an at most 1mb compression of it. participants vote for the one that best represents the aesthetic quality of the film. anything goes: dropping frames, dithering, down sampling, collages, generative synthesis of the sound track, making a single drawing, etc. I think some very interesting media ideas would come out of the process.

https://netizen.club/~wildweasel/golfswings.html - Going live with a slightly more analytical article for Golfshrine, as I think about how being good at a golf video game is nowhere near the same thing as being good at actual golf.
