mh -, programming 

@dnld i did look up other people's code and i didn't learn anything

mh -, programming 

like i get the part where you treat it as an x,y map to plot things onto the screen

but then there are people who just like. put shapes and text on the screen. and a fucking full 3d model. on a shader. i don't think shaders were meant to do that?

is.. is that collision checking routines? on a shader? oh go to heck

mh -, programming 

i taught myself programming (starting with LOGO, QuickBasic and mIRC Script) from reading the documentation. i understand data structures and know all the terminology needed to pick up a language.

so why is it that i cannot drill shaders into my head? it feels like the same mental block i have to music theory, i just look at the steps to set up anything shader-related and immediately give up on it and feel inferior to anyone who shows off their shader toys

@posit@chitter.xyz (the increase storage thing somehow meshed both filesystems into one so the microsd by itself was unreadable by anything but that specific phone)

@posit@chitter.xyz boy howdy let me tell you about the time my parents used microsd cards to increase storage instead of keeping them as independent filesystems

also this is horrible i'm sorry :(

hey i really like adam savage ok that's all i wanted to post at this minute, later

@posit@chitter.xyz HECK YEAH

JUST STYLE MY WHOLE ROOM LIKE SOMEONE'S DESK AND I'M TINY

@sydneyfalk sleeper pc is when you put really high end guts inside a super cheap outdated case
