the entire interface of this machine consisted of:
- one designer who was not used to the scale of 320x240 pixels and had no software that would directly accommodate it because they came from a mobile design background
- me doing skunkworks "i can put images on this screen"

fun fact: yes this machine is using ubuntu mono for fonts

because: it was the only font we found at short notice that would scale down to bitmap with proper pixel hinting and wasn't a licensing nightmare

so weird seeing this thing in the wild. i made that. i wrote the graphical interface for this machine. i wrote the functions to draw that status bar, the clock, the logo. i built the menu functions. everything

the one thing that keeps me going is hearing from people who believe in me more than i believe in myself

i refuse to be acceptable, sterilized, proper, family-friendly

i only make bad takes when everybody's asleep so i don't get cancelled for them when i post them but rather 5 years from now

i realize this sounds like "you didn't like me enough so i'm going to start voting for the bad guys out of spite" but consider this: I am Running Out of Money and i have Not had a Single Interview since May of This Year

Show thread

given i have not had a single interview since may this will not decrease my chances of getting an interview

whenever jobs *require* a cover letter i'm going to start attaching PDFs whose sole content is "this page intentionally left blank"

anybody with over 1000 twitter followers has brain rot and i realize i'm getting close to it

i'm a competent low-level C software engineer with experience in web design, graphic design and all things hardware. someone fucking hire me already

Show thread

the only thing i want to vaguetweet about this whole bullshit that's been going on is that i have been looking for the "nice tech companies" to hire me since may of this year and if lockheed martin showed up in my inbox with a contract i would hesitate to say no

For five bucks just get it and look at the menus tbh. Go into the boss rush modes and watch video playback of the world records. Read the bonus features. Launch DuckTales for five minutes and remember that you don't actually want to play 33-year-old games anymore.

It’s increasingly clear that most tech company HR departments are an active impediment to hiring
