neat, while looking through my old backups I found a cracked version of Portal
yeah, I paid for Portal by now, but it never hurts to have an extra copy, y'know
(cont) musings about how I learnt programming
Sadly, that website is down by now, I probably have the files still. I should check them out sometimes, see if they still work on my new computer. Before Arcor I used freenet's free webhosting which was honestly a dream, since it had no ads and unlimited traffic. Those were the days. I hope my dad has backups of my extremely basic first website :D

by "released" I mean I put it on my website at the time, which was hosted on arcor's free hosting space. It sucked because it always inserted ads into the header. I had a few Javascript games, one of which was a hangman game I was pretty proud of, that broke because of that because I actually iterated over the images of the page in-order, so more images (= the ads) before them messed up my offset. I ended up measuring the offset on load.
(cont) musings about how I learnt programming
the first time I did something that wasn't for school was me sitting down and making a simple game in Delphi, with all the assets made in MS Paint (and everything done on my trusty Windows ME computer). I managed to figure out the Delphi 6 IDE quite well during that. I actually made a second game as well. The second one I tested without double buffering because it would make the game run horribly on my ancient computer, but "released" it with db
musings about how I learnt programming
learning html from a pretty old book from my local library was the first time I wrote something a computer could understand and it was pretty cool
I learnt Javascript a bit later but I didn't really care about learning the cool stuff (and the books only covered really simple stuff, naturally, they were old programming books for kids), so it took me quite a while to actually get into programming
aaaand we're rooted again, I'm getting pretty quick at this
food
the supermarket should not sell donuts because I have no self control
on the other hand, delicious

I wonder what the upper limit for number of cameras in a smartphone will be
I'm having a ton of fun playing Junkenstein's Revenge, it's a nice mix of challenge and skill. Super happy to have finally beaten expert mode, and reached the end of endless mode on easy (yup, endless mode ends) #Overwatch
If I could bankrupt one company I'd really have a hard time deciding but honestly the one that makes Funkopops
I have good news and bad news. Good news: There is a witch Mercy figurine
Bad news: It's a hecking Funkopop

Request for help
Hey, money is tight in our household right now, I'm applying for jobs and also looking into trying to apply for disability benefits, but right now my partner is covering expenses for the both of us on one part-time income. On top of that, we're making a very important trip in a week to see our other mutual partner, but tickets for that have of course hit our funds pretty hard, in addition to missed work time and what we'll need for food and so on. My partner got some help from her parents with that but our position is still pretty shaky rn.
If I can bring in $600 I can cover most of my portion of bills and expenses for the month, and we'll feel a lot more stable for the time being, so that's the goal number. A wonderful friend already super generously contributed $300, so that leaves another $300 to try and obtain by the end of the month to make sure we're okay and not at risk of food or rent insecurity going into the next month.
If anyone can contribute any amount, or help spread this post around, it would mean a lot and help a ton! My Square Cash tag (preferred method) is https://cash.me/$Mizuumi and Paypal works as well, paypal.me/mizderg
Thank you so much for taking the time to read! 💙
oh come one battlenet, I just wanted to play one round of Junkenstein
