If you're worried about people remembering every embarrassing thing you did, think about it. Can you remember other people's embarrassing moments? No. That's because you're the only one who's ever done something embarrassing. What the fuck is wrong with you lmao

that's kind of the problem / why it's taking so long for me to actually make anything - I'm using a custom framework built on SDL

I'm not really complaining though, I'm having a lot of fun working on it

every time I look back at this post I cringe a little because the memory counter in the corner was off by a factor of 10

(and yes, two months later I'm still trying and failing to write UI code, not much to show)

A screenshot of Discord, in a blank server in a blank channel. There's a bunch of shit that's wrong and should've been already covered.

"vibe coding" needs a direct competitor. I propose "woe coding", which involves locking a fresh CS student in a room with a ThinkPad older than me until they write a web application in ANSI C89 using ed(1)

Program crashing unexpectedly?

Too many error cases to track?

Just } catch (Exception x) {}.

No warning messages. All exceptions handled. Clean console. Users will just break it anyway, why bother?

You will certainly not regret } catch (Exception x) {}.

this is one of the first songs I remember hearing as a kid. I'm pretty sure it was on some mix CD my parents kept around

I'd never actually payed attention to the lyrics or watched the video, and uh, holy shit lmao

i just need you to understand that when you add "-sky" to the name of some kind of hobby or interest to refer to the bluesky community that exists for it, i always read it as though its a western slavic surname

like yeah, of course i know Warhammersky. hes the guy from krakow who invented the game

I wanted to learn how to use Dear ImGui, so uh, here's a random (and almost entirely useless) debug UI thing for the little game framework I'm working on

goals for 2025:
- get my current doomed game idea to the point of "playable demo" by the end of the year
- try to learn to draw more than stick figures

I'm not sure how either of those will go, but I'll (hopefully) at least try!
