guess whos reading a 970 page book on opamps instead of doing literally anything they're supposed to be doing

well after literally HALF A WEEK of spending all day fighting with an obscure unreal build system bug where it supposedly fails to find an arbitrary generated header even though it exists, i've emerged victorious. the culprit? a single missing semicolon after one of UHT's awful magic black box macros in a different file in a completely different module. (fun fact: some of these macros require a semicolon after them, some CAN'T have a semicolon after them)

uhh #devtober i guess

gotta love when you spend all day working on a thing and getting a better understanding of it and your improved knowledge at the end of the day tells you that everything you just did was dumb and you need to redo it all

accidentally making a pretty cool memory viewer

i also made this little icon that has way too much detail you cant even see at 64px

after a few days of flailing about with the 20-something classes it takes to make a custom editor in UE4, i finally have the beginnings of a graph-based procgen system going #devtober

i've mostly been working on boring codestuff lately so here's some screenshots of more visually interesting procgen things i've done recently

against the will of god i continue to exist, and in an attempt to return to social media things, im doing #devtober this month. so expect screenshots or yell at me if i start slacking (although i will be moving sometime this month so that'll probably keep me busy for a few days)

hello i have Made A Thing

well, it's still very under construction, but here's that modular info site i was talking about: https://modular.trashbyte.io

here's a few of the more-completed pages, including a build guide for the mixer module:
https://modular.trashbyte.io/modules/004
https://modular.trashbyte.io/buildguide/004
https://modular.trashbyte.io/wiki/Jack

workin on a build guide for the mixer module kit!

i updated my patreon tiers to add more tiers and rewards. note that some rewards (like exclusive physical merch) aren't actually available yet, but i'll do my best to try to remedy that.

mainly i just need money, so i can like, pay rent and stuff. and *hopefully* pay for more modular synth development.

any support you can offer is greatly appreciated ❤️

im a menace

i can also do this neat two color thing but it makes the shadows even worse

sample photo with my lightbox. im not totally happy with the diffusion of the lighting or the whiteness of the backdrop but its something

cant we just overthrow capitalism already smh

i probably qualify for a COVID-19 relief check, for as much as $1200, but afaik i need to file my taxes first to be eligible, and due to having an "unusual case" (some weird college fund penalty fees) i need to pay like $100 to file (or try to file manually but that sounds like a disaster)
