Freakishly warm today in the midwest too, raining warm rain too, very odd weather for winter season
I’m an artist and programmer, I’m currently rekindling my creative drive
I draw on a Huion Camvas and I use Krita for the software.

I failed math 3 years in a row in high school and I made plenty of minecraft clones using nothing but logic and basic algebra. Math isn’t as important to programming as people say, I still can’t do division or multiplication on paper, but in a program, I can make it do that for me.
Fucking UPS with the same garbage, the form for changing your address was broken and would display an error, the phone call support refused to help and told me to “just use the online form”. I wocked around it by opening the form, pressing the back button, opening it again, and then it would display properly… Just to change a single fucking number in the apartment unit category. Those are 2 hours of my life I’m never getting back.
Wanted to make games as a kid, got way way waayy too into it, now I just make my own programs when I need to
There’s a video from the YouTuber Noodle who does a good job explaining it
short form content sells, I hate it, but most people generally don’t
A place to live
I already switched to Gitlab when Microsoft bought GH out. Been using it for years and have never had an issue
Nebraska is the exception, this state has some of the weirdest price of living to wage ratios. For example, in my town you cannot find a job that pays more than minimum wage without commuting to the other towns around you. But the rent is set at a point where you would need to work for $16 to $20 an hour to afford roof AND food. Wild stuff
Threat Level Midnigt*
Some of the conservative psychopaths are so adamant against them because they are “too big”, or think they make noise? Like do these idiots think that the turbines make wind???
I believe there’s some sort of ‘soft’ filter in place since there were tons of complaints about seeing NSFW posts on the front page. Should be worked out soonish
edit : NSFW shows up properly now
Subarus really go, I just rebuilt a 1999 foresters engine and it’s got over 400,000 miles on it, 1000 after the rebuild, and it’s still going fine.
Here’s some of the missing ones, I pryed open those old folders and gave 'em a spin again.
A bullet hell shooter type game, I was testing performance and let it rip

The better version of the voxel game I was talking about (This one actually has bad performance (I mean PBR in javascript? wtf was I thinking?))

The rest are lost to time unfortunately
Here we go, this is the project I made to learn rust. Pardon the terrible quality and lag, that is all that my little laptop can muster. This demo is extremely memory heavy because it’s a fully infinite 3 dimensional minecraft-esc thing with biome mixing, super structures, and terrible fancy graphics.
I set this one to the side because it was waaayy too hard to keep working on. Technical debt hit me fast. But it was a very valuable experience.
Without screen recording the world gen is much faster since it is multi-threaded and tries to queue up as many as it can for your cpu config, OBS took too much power!
Now I’m working on a Visual Novel, but all I have done at the moment is like 1/10th of the ideal editing tool I want and a little bit of the prologue script drafted out.
The real video file was too big for kbin… lemme upload to trash youtube account
And here are some much much older projects I did, dating all the way back to high school
Again, this was all recorded on trash-teir hardware. The real performance was better, just not the recording itself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hVb_zR6bxY >>> Old C++ game engine for a 2D platformer, it went through SOOO many revisions, but it was also the reason I completely gave up on C++, the fucking thing kept segfaulting for just the wildest reasons. At some point I gave up
https://youtu.be/LHOwXgw_pSM >>> In this one I’m comparing my emulator’s bad APU to mednafens. It is a 6502 / NES emulator that is entirely run through javascript. It almost actually performed well, but pixel blitting absolutely nuked performance on any browser. This video was showing the godawful APU implementation. I also had a working assembler and iNES rom constructor baked into this thing, pretty cool.
https://youtu.be/LjuIIsqEsr4 >>> Here is an older version of my Javascript all-3-dimensions voxel thang. This one is completely limited to a small field, has no good graphics, and smells. The real one got a PBR implementation, infinite in all directions generation, and a much better UI. The issue is that it crashes every browser I try it on, it is just too heavy of a workload and it causes a ton of edge-case bugs. Funnily enough it’s actually more stable in FireFox.
https://youtu.be/fx-0qaIU80U >>> This is my oldest surviving project. Don’t be scared but, it’s a voxel game, in a web browser. This one was programmed in a single file, was duct taped together, had the WORST logic ever. But it somehow still runs when I open it so hurrah?
That last project was developed on a chromebook and was made in my freshman year of high school. Yikes.
This only scratches the number of projects I have made and destroyed.
I have this insatiable lust for the ‘new’ and I express it by trying to perfect my skrillz.
Though I still make dogshit code at least I can do it quickly.
