after lusting for a copy of andrΓ© lamothe's Black Art of 3d Game Programming for years, i finally found an affordable copy
it does not disappoint. one of the fatal flaws of 95% of 3d game programming books is that they jump straight into mathematical proofs, instead of explaining in human terms how concepts are relevant to making a game. lamothe's programming concepts are clear, easy to understand, and provide real-world examples before diving into code
to my delight, the book doesn't limit itself to just 3d. it covers every conceivable topic for building a game engine from scratch in MS-DOS - and includes some great chapters on FM and wavetable synthesis!

The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!
I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesnβt require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.
And itβs free for all. π
If you'd like these wallpapers for your own similar setup, here are the files, for 1080x1920 and 1920x1200 respectively.
Even if it's always going to be covered by application windows, it's always nice to put my own photographs on my desktop wallpaper. These came out really nice. At least I'll always glimpse them when I'm logging in to the machine in the morning.
...i do still have a couple of golfshrine updates that i still have not finished (or started) writing though, i'm tired, that's my excuse
last boost: one of the many things on my ever-growing to-do list is to eradicate my solitaire blog from wordpress hosting, and move it to my netizen.club space. every single time matt mullenweg opens his shitty little mouth, i notch that up the to-do list just a little bit more.

I think I just vaulted over the line between "WordPress is too much of a maintenance burden, I want to move away" to "I need to stop using WordPress. Now."

instead of hacking a non profit archival organization one could personally give matt mullenweg the world's largest wedgie

BitWarden is nice. BitWarden is not controlled by any corporation and you don't have to worry about it being someday confined to one platform or tied to some other product. BitWarden supports self-hosting. BitWarden supports passkeys.

All golf courses should be rewilded or made into public parks. No exceptions. As a priority, the 15 or so that are inside London should be immediately turned back to parkland.
i wonder, how many CEOs, presidents, and big cheeses of the business world, actually "earned" their position by climbing to the top, versus how many just happened to start there from the beginning? was "climbing the corporate ladder" a myth from the very start?
a reminder that if you feel like you can help me to get back my one hope at ever escaping the suburban wasteland and be able to Go Do Shit In Public Again, here's the GFM where you can help me with that. https://gofund.me/4192af90
"Riding your trike can be a great way to get in shape and lose weight!*"
*must weigh less than 250 lbs or the vehicle may spontaneously collapse
i also wish some asshole hadn't stolen my e-trike SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS AGO
i wish e-trikes didn't cost 5,000 goddamn dollars
i'd even accept a regular trike if anybody made the damn things but they're uncommon enough in the US that they still cost like $2,500 and come with tight weight restrictions
last boost: GOOD, i wish America could make headway towards discouraging cars and favoring cyclists and/or public transport where possible
