i juiced up the crude carpentry table: now it drops the items you craft, and materials involved in the crafting get a little animation. also it now shows the quantities of materials when you mouse over the crafting station for convenience
next is adding more items/recipes to the table to finish it out
i'm also gonna give splitting block game development into shorter (bi)weekly threads a shot. we'll see how that goes

My contribution to the game difficulty debate is I made an SMB3 style platformer with a mode where dying simply pops you back up immediately on a flying cloud and with cheats beyond that
Just like I made a turnbased roguelike with a mode that gives you infinite lives, which also has a cheat menu
(And you can pick those up for $20 as a bundle with our other two games, an adorable block pushing puzzler and an SMB1-like prequel to the gay foxgirl platformer Kitsune Tails https://itch.io/s/169922/kitsune-games-bundle)
Hey can someone make a Firefox addon that replaces the names of tech billionaires by prefixing them with "Serial liar and perpetrator of investment fraud"
For example "Sam Altman Wants 250 Gigawatts of Power. Is That Possible?" would become "Serial Liar and Perpetrator of Investment Fraud Sam Altman Wants 250 Gigawatts of Power. Is That Possible?"
Or "Serial Liar and Perpetrator of Investment Fraud Sam Altman’s OpenAI Is Officially the World’s Most Valuable Startup at $500B"
@stux I'll pass that on. I already said that they'd be expected to mark things as NSFW, since its just kind of fedi wide etiquette
People have a lot of remarkably intense opinions on acid and databases
Anyway I'll probably just use sqlite
Someone on bluesky wants to join fedi and they're looking for instances good for lgbt nsfw artists. I'd like to give them a few instances to look at besides just dot art so please throw your recommendations in the replies
even if you don't give a shit about covid you should want clean air in schools (and other public buildings but lets start by aiming low 
) because guess what, getting sick more often is a huge economic hit. it literally costs the economy exponentially more money to *not* filter the air than to do it
but maybe that pragmatic argument is too reasonable coming from an unreasonable person like myself who is still concerned about covid
i guess i'm also very unreasonable in wanting clean air in schools. because schools are hotbeds of viral activity and in most countries completely unavoidable, and i thought we cared about kids. so maybe we should do something so they don't get sick all the time, and so their parents don't get sick from them all the time
and we know air filters work and we know uv-c above drop-ceilings work. hell, even fucking ceiling mounted fans work! but instead we're not doing anything
wow, so unreasonable
idk about you but given hospital acquired covid infections are measurably worse i don't want to get sick, have to go to hospital, and then die or become permanently debilitated from a covid infection a nurse or a guest gave me because they couldn't be fucked masking. and i don't want that for anyone else either, but it keeps happening
if that makes me soooooo unreasonable then uhh i guess i'm fucking unreasonable
"people who are still concerned about covid are so unreasonable, they just want us all to go into lockdown again!"
literally nobody is asking for that. what people are asking for is stuff like universal masking in unavoidable situations like healthcare settings and investment in indoor air filtration/clean air infrastructure
Reading a thread of comments on a poll about where people stand on covid mitigations and seeing someone proclaim "I know when I have covid/flu" so they know not to see people if they have symptoms
My good man, a large quantity of covid infections are asymptomatic (but can still spread) with figures quoted at 25%, 45% even up to 60% of infections. I know this is inconvenient but it is the reality of the situation
Bold move by Valve to put out a public statement to the tune of "nah Mastercard is fucking lying, actually," bravo https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/valve-pushes-back-after-mastercard-denies-quashing-adult-content-on-game-platforms
so apparently valve updated their rules for steam saying they may ban games that "may violate rules set by payment processors or banks."
can't wait for kitsune tails to be banned from steam when some US fuck decides to reclassify all lgbtq content as adult and immediately going bankrupt
anyway uhhh get it while it's legal i guess? kitsune tails is 30% off on steam right now https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260/Kitsune_Tails/
i'm gonna be honest. while i understand the difference in C between
const char* ptr
and
char *const ptr
i will never be able to remember the 2nd form exists let alone use it
i was accidentally following someone on bsky who is apparently into vibe coding and they posted a guide for how to optimize your code for interacting with LLMs which (after unfollowing them) i read
there's so many things he suggests you do. including "not too much but not too little" on *multiple items*
this list of best practices sounds like a full time LLM babysitting job jesus christ just write the fucking code yourself it's less effort than this!
ugh, guess i'll just take it easy...
