My Gnu Year #resolution is to finally buck up & learn #Godot so I can make a video game because all my friends IRL want me to.

That and write a book on #Guile

I’d just like to interject for a moment...

This is the second time the #Matias support team has gone above & beyond to help me out! I have never had a better experience with ANY other support team (offline or online) 👍

Want to have a good time? Go watch a foreign video on YouTube then turn on "Generate subtitles" to get some great Engrish.👌

Well I mean, that was months ago, but some of those #SSB challenges are haaard!!

From outside of the room I can hear:

"GO CHOMP A DICK, PACMAN!"

Ah yes, someone's playing "Event Mode" in Super Smash Bros. again 👌

#GNU is cool and all, but...

Oh wait, that's right - there is no "but" 🤔

I've come to the point where I can play an AAA title video game and think to myself:

"It would save a lot of CPU power to cut down on (so-and-so animation/effect)... In fact, The entire game could be built with no textures, no anti-aliasing, and just be built from polygons & basic cell-shading."

But then I tell myself how stupid I am, and that the game should be treated as a piece of art rather than a computer program, that way I have a lot more fun playing them.👌 🎮

In-line remotes seriously decrease the lifespan of headphones. The ones that I have work fine but every now & then the sound cuts out of one ear, so I have to spin the volume control wheel a little bit to fix it.

Other than that they've worked very well for the past three years and I'm too cheap to replace them!

I may end up just cutting the remote off & re-soldering the strands back together. I just need a wire stripper & an iron...

I'm really behind in the news.

#Guile 2.2.4 & #Guix 0.15 released 🙌 👌 🤯

A weekend project. 👍

Painted the home office/studio a weird green. We both agreed that "it /looks/ like it /should/ be an ugly colour, but somehow it's nice". "forest-y" is the vibe I'm getting. 🌲

Still need to touch up a few bits but so far I think it's #BetterThanBeige

"Communism has never worked before so we shouldn't do it"

As a capitalist I actually kind of disagree with this. It's like saying "The first recipe for Nuclear Fusion was a failure so writing a new recipe is a waste of time"

I think Nuclear Fusion would do wonders to the world & they shouldn't give up on it! I'm not a communist, but I won't say "It's a bad idea!" I know a lot of you are pro-communism &, if it happens to be a good idea, then I hope you can make the change 👌

Oh, I applied for more jobs, just standard cashier & barista type stuff. Any work is good work I guess (that is a very untrue statement, but the work I applied for is good enough)

#DJMax is an arcade rhythm game popular in Korea apparently. I didn't even know they had a #PSVita exclusive until recently!

I picked it up today. It's a very well crafted game! I usually prefer buttons when it comes to rhythm games but this isn't that uncomfortable tbh. I'm just glad they made use of the rear touchpad!

I know "Seamless casing" has been around for a while in modern cell phones, but let me complain just this once.

How come "You can no longer upgrade or replace specific components of your device" is considered a *selling point*?

#SUSE Enterprise was just sold for $2.5 Billion (or so I've read). 😮

Oh also happy Canada Day 🍁
