i dont want to play video games made by people who dont even want to make the game. why put in my time

im honestly kind of suspicious of people who consider programming to be a wholly separate discipline from art, where there is just some inherent facet of the act that precludes it from being an art form in itself... what a dry and uninsightful perspective on something youve made your career doing

things said at the pantry during a sleepover

jumping up and down and pointing at the tv. im the oomf...

music post. go here... for gus and adlib at the same time https://youtube.com/watch?v=-lFNYJ7B820

WHAT?? WHAT??? WHAT??? i was NOT expecting my self-indulgent little doodle to do numbers like this but i'm glad y'all like it abdkshdjsbd!! there will be more. probably when im less busy

Well I think this is as good as I could get the Two-Tone Pulses going, the code is pretty ugly but it works so who cares really.

thats allowed

god i really wish a company that made hard drives (which are sensitive to vibration) also made a tool that is very harmful to said hard drives. if only

your post if you made it in a forest and nobody was around to hear it: made a new sound. i am tree

X answered: What software or hardware thing do you wish someone would create? versions of emulators that try to implement circuit bending type effects. it's basically impossible, but imagine a version of mame that let you simulate various hardware failures or goofs...

and thats just the cpu. theres like Ten other chips in a full dos pc and nobody writes papers or documentation for those at all. and assuming you find any, good luck finding someone both smart and actually interested enough to help you write a software version of what is basically a physics puzzle

writing a cycle accurate emulator for an x86 cpu more advanced than the 8088 or nec v20 will have you begging for scraps from 30 or 40 year old research papers and college textbooks or hunting down someone with an electron microscope to melt all the plastic off the chip and take good pictures

honestly... the smartest and most enthusiastic people i know in the space are emulator programmers. i feel like 'real hardware' isnt and shouldnt be a special sauce to be pitted against emulation when so much of what we know about the hardware is their work, and would not have happened otherwise

i know that vibecoding isnt why bluesky shits itself but saying it makes the devs mad so its cool

firefox open with just one bluesky tab. in place of the content is a black on white plain page, reading as follows: Error 503 first byte timeout first byte timeout Error 54113 Details: cache-pao-kpao1770042-PAO 1776355301 2511591784 (there is a horizontal rule here.) Varnish cache server

im still having issues

three blog comments, each with an icon drawn over and an arrow pointing to it. by user chfour: "that is, quite literally, witchcraft. I'm amazed. I mean I made an HTTP server in browser Javascript, and that's NOTHING compared to this. this is a fully functional, real time minecraft server. a full-on online 3D game. Wow. also, lovely font choice ;)" the annotation is an orange smiley face. by user me: "My BRAIN IS BOGELED" the annotation is a bagel. by user NotNite: "wow this is horrifying" the annotation is an orange, frowning confused face with a question mark next to it

He-Moon and the Masters of the Excitingly Different

that sucks. so youre not even seeing 100 posts a day about how good linux is/how bad linux is?

Precious…

thats why i use mastodon. no one else is funny there so its really easy

okay i uploaded a wav... yellowbook.cd-rom.net/au/mcinst.wav

moth (@mothcompute@merping.synth.download) Attached: 1 audio okay heres my moon child joke

i made an 'instrumental' version of the song for this post merping.synth.download/@mothcompute... by just opening the entire module in audacity as an unheadered signed 8 bit stream and zeroing out the vocal samples

i looked into this too and
- uade *does* play 7 channel mugician files, so ive been using that
- im not entirely sure that the version of mugician available supports 7 channel files
so ive been thinking of just doing what i did with rl2 and brute forcing the format in a hex editor

man... i sure wish something new and excitingly different was beginning around here...

this is the new twisted visage from all the vices ive been having

actually it was so my visage wouldnt become twisted by the desire. which i was already having

a macos window containing rectangular black and white pixels (about 6 wide, 12 tall). in the center is what appears to be a pixel art frog with a neutral expression

there is a frog living inside of my vga bios

and now... i have a profile picture
