I love when you copy some array/object literal between two programming languages and it turns out the syntax is identical so you don't have to make any adjustments.

it's like the programming equivalent of forgetting the spanish word for "bank" and just guessing "bank-o", and being right (well, banco, but it works the same if you're a lost tourist trying to find an ATM)

let he who is without sin approximate it with a taylor series

"Government = bad and wasteful
Business = good and efficient"

is one of the biggest scams they ever pulled. It's ridiculous that we've fallen for this in the face of evidence to the contrary.

The people that run businesses have sold us on the idea that our representative that protects us from business is bad and we should get rid of it.

New from 404 Media: we went to the premiere of the first commercially steaming AI movies. They were as bad as you would expect, and are being made explicitly as a targeting advertising push because data says people will be too lazy to change the channel

Random sketch (ish)

Robo fops :3 (assume its a fop)

((also not exactly a random sketch, but more of a study, been trying to re-study anatomy and figure drawing and consider this as a 'post test' on what knowledge i get from those sessions

I'm installing DOSBox 0.74 again.

this version of DOSBox is older (14 years) than the entire run of DOS releases from Microsoft (1981-1994: 13 years)

a surprisingly large part of my enjoyment of retroprogramming is that they are the only ones who say "blit" with any frequency.
I love that work. Love me a good blit. I can even get by on a Blt, like a WinGStretchBlt, to randomly name an API from 30 years ago.

I always had the impression Funko Pop was an awful company, but all I had to go on so far was that feeling of puke rising in my throat upon seeing their figures.

The traditional gift for a tech girl who just got her orchi?

Optical mice, of course.

Seeing photos of the alleged suspect floating around despite their jackets being different, and it's worthwhile to bring up that cops are actually really lousy at solving murders.

This is one murder they can't let slip, though, and there's high odds they will railroad an innocent to seem competent.

It is well documented that cops and prosecutors will conjure evidence out of thin air to entice grand juries to indict. Be highly skeptical if anyone gets caught.

#UnitedHealthcare

A joke that's been circulating:

Brian Thompson’s death has gotten more coverage than United HealthCare ever provided.

I don't know its provenance, but it's too good to not share.

Maybe they deserve to be scared.

Wanna know how
healthcare proletarians feel about it?

Pharmacist:
"Insurance companies are on par with arms dealers and sex traffickers in my mind. They arbitrarily put people in physical, emotional, and financial hell by applying different rules however they want. They have little to no oversight, and they rape the American populace to the tune of tens of billions ($317 billion this year for United) and I’m supposed to feel bad for the man who leads the charge on cost cutting by butchering the lives of average Americans?

How can I shed tears for a man who physically embodied the most ravenous perpetuation of greed and selfish skullduggery in American history?"

when i was a kid, you could build a simple game or application by dragging and dropping a few UI controls, and gluing them together with a few dozen lines of BASIC or Pascal or HyperTalk. it might take 15 minutes, at most, to get your little character walking around on the screen. this is how we ended up with a lot of hilariously good and cheap shareware you could share on BBSes in the 90s.

for the past year i've been quietly working on building a software thingie that doesn't exist anymore. i've been building a software toolkit that's kinda like Visual Basic and HyperCard and Borland Delphi, designed for making tile-based 2d games.

i've been using it to build my own little goofy games, and improving on the drag'n'drop IDE as i figuring things out. it's not done yet, and has a long ways to go before it's ready for other people to start making their own little applications and games. think PICO-8 or ZZT if they had grown up on a steady diet of Windows 3.1 and GeoWorks Ensemble instead.

i'm really, really bad about polishing turds to infinity and never releasing them. to break that habit, i've built a mini-website for the IDE/Shareware Creation Kit. it's called Exigy, named like a bad 80s metal hair band or richard garriott game.

i'll be posting weekly blog/devlog updates there, so i don't irritate anyone with them on this account. there is an rss feed button at the top right if you hate my demonic php and css.
