The mind of man is holy.

Right? I thought I was in /c/[email protected] for a minute.

Let’s all block each other.

I mean…

There are games I pay for, but only on Nintendo consoles. Aside from that, it’s strictly write it myself or go without.

I definitely should donate to more FOSS projects, though.

Some vaccines don’t really guarantee anything beyond reducing your chance of ending up in a hospital (and they can be less good even at that if the particular strain that you get isn’t the one you were vaccinated for.) For some vaccines, even vaccinated, you can still get the disease you’re vaccinated for and have anything from a couple weeks of being sick to life-long debilitating effects.

All else being equal, unless you have some particular reason why you’re not a good candidate for a particular vaccine, the significant majority of people are much better off vaccinated than unvaccinated, but vaccinated doesn’t necessarily mean safe to go lick doorknobs or, case in point, dine with a dozen relatives, whether those relatives are vaccinated or not. And of course there are plenty of reasons why OP might be at higher risk than most.

Did you consider wearing an N95 and washing hands thoroughly upon departure

Not OP, but if the main attraction of the “holiday event” is a meal, it’s not like you can wear an N95 mask to eat. I suppose it’d be an option to make a quick appearance and then bow out before the meal, but it sounds like OP’s family’s would just be assholes to OP if OP showed up just to leave early (and was also assholes when OP declined to show up entirely.)

My pixels too are insufficiently numerous.

One egg white omelet with a side of yolk.

And that’s before he soaks it in the blood of innocents.

I use Lemuroid on Android. Works well. On F-Droid. Nothing about it has prompted me to search for alternatives, so no idea how it stacks up against other options.

Also, EasyRPG Player on Android for RPG Maker games. (I played the original Yume Nikki not terribly long ago via EasyRPG Player.) Also on F-Droid. Also worked great.

Bookmarked that shit so fuckin’ hard.

Weirdcore: World is broken so I’ve been slamming Monster energy drinks for 48 hours straight and now I’m delirious and hallucinating the nineties.

Curl.

“Clown.” Some of my best friends do clowning as a hobby.

“How do I build a better guillotine that starts with B?”

(There’s a guy named “Magnus Carlsen” who is arguably the best chess player of all time.)

That was pretty much exactly the main joke that Dave Chapelle told during his monologue when he hosted Saturday Night Live in season 50 episode 11 January 18, 2025.

Check your spam folder. I don’t know that I’ve ever not received an email I was supposed to have received and found that the spam folder was actually the issue. But it’s still a good idea to check it in case that’s the whole issue.

Hey thank you! I’m glad to hear some interest in it. I’ve definitely got ideas as far as how I’d like to see it improve moving forward (some syntactic sugar, more sophisticated ways of drawing “people”/creatures/skeletons/etc, maybe vector graphics output support – no project is ever really done, you know.) I’m on another project at the moment, but if it got enough interest, I’d probably be inclined to put more work into it.

I don’t have a TTRPG campaign running right now (which is what I wrote it for), so I’m not “eating my own dog food” very much with that particular project. But I would love to do more with it. Only reason I’m not already is because I’ve got so many other projects I want to work on. Heh.

The main project I’m working on lately has been that 3D game assets DSL that I mentioned later in my post. It’s probably quite a bit more ambitious than codecomic (it’s actually Turing complete which definitely adds to the challenge), but I do see a point approaching where it’s feature-complete enough to at least publish an alpha version. It also definitely needs a lot more code comments/documentation before I publish. Probably still months away, but it feels a lot closer than it did last week. Heh.

Anyway, thanks again for the complement!

• Circular financing where all the “AI” players are paying each other making it seem like they’re worth something when they’re not (kinda like circle-jerk-style wash trading in a way.)
• The tech CEOs and government all know that AI’s failing miserably and the bailout is already happening. The government is just casting things that are a bailout as “not a bailout” to try to keep it under wraps. (The “Great Big Beautiful Bill” had measures in it specifically to bail out AI companies.) They’re also propagandaing us hoping the public will support (or at least tolerate) a much more blatant bailout in the near future.
• CoreWeave is a former crypto company that pivoted into building data centers. Many of the other AI players are financially dependent on CoreWeave. Meanwhile CoreWeave is in gar-fucking-gantuine amounts of debt that they will never be able to pay back in a trillion years. It’s very possible CoreWeave could be the first major domino to fall.
