Falkreon, when the walls fell @falkreon@cybre.space

Sorry, before I can meet you free-speechers halfway, it seems like I have to meet you half of halfway. But in order to do that, I'd need to meet you an eighth of the way, and you see I'm just swamped contemplating the increasingly fractional ways that I would have to meet you before I can make even the slightest progress, so I'm afraid it's a paradox.

JRPG is actually pronounced "Gay Arr Pee Gee", as in "Choosy developers choose -

Pinning to warn people of my horrifying imagination

`~/Java/falkreon/Jarser$ git commit -m "oops the lexer is done"`

Me, working on Jarser: "I can't believe this disgusting assembly of builtin java regex works so well."

A page called "robot validator" which is the recaptcha "I'm not a robot." checkbox, but if you click it, it takes you to an error screen which reads:

You are a good robot and we like you.

yesterday was both a ffxiv content patch and a wow expansion prepatch. and I just acquired Among Us a couple days ago. today I'm very tired.

since I'm constantly having stability problems with decent foss image programs I'm like two inches away from using the compositing tools in glow to just make one for pixel art and animation

the name covid-19 doesn't really say anything about the still poorly understood cascade of immune, autimmune, cardiovascular, and neurological symptoms of the disease. the name is kind of giving up on descriptive terms. But we have procedure for these situations! Since patient zero is also unknown, I think we're procedurally in the clear to use the most notable patient and call it Trump's disease.

lots of 2d coming online now. I took a giant sized detour into truetype/otf/woff, and atlas creation, and rectangle packing, in order to get a decent raster image I can draw letter glyphs out of. but I have that raster image and now it's just a matter of packaging that information and uploading it to the card. then I'll finally be able to draw dynamic text instead of baking a string into a texture and uploading that, which is slow.

I've also been looking briefly into video decoding but it looks like all the hardware codecs on Linux have been funneled through ffmpeg, putting them firmly out of reach. I'd be doing clientside software decoding. plus I don't really make or use fmv so that would be a feature for other people and not me. the way to do it, though, is to upload into a pbuffer, and only move it to the texture in the last minute. use all the rest of your time to render everything else.

good morning fedi. it's a slow work day today and I don't want to know what the news is doing so welcome back to shitpost country I guess

Tried everything, both with the steam launcher and the windows one (steam in proton, windows in wine). Finally pulled the goatcorp quicklauncher down via Lutris and, well, I'm not really surprised that it works better than the original, but I'm absolutely shocked that it works at all.

So I'm back, bringing up an alt on Adamantoise. CNJ->WHM, obviously.

Karen'd at a FFXIV rep today because their launcher is barbaric. As in, please tell your devs I am *very disappointed* with their launcher.

I can't help but imagine how powerful the California wildfire kid's gender re-reveal is going to be when they're old enough to think for themselves. like, whether the Earth can handle this person coming out. but also kind of want to see a gender that powerful

surprised that some toxic youtuber hasn't claimed to have covid-19 when they didn't, gotten called out on it, doubled down, been proven wrong, issued an insufficient apology, and been cancelled forever. Are toxic youtubers changing up their MO now?

Time soup is my favorite kind of soup tbh

I see that it's SUBtember on twitch, maybe it's a good time to pick up a sub
