that's from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockroach#As_pests

i don't think i've ever seen a cockroach irl, and was curious if they bite or if they're just a litmus test of something else

why

on the other hand, it's also now officially pichu day in japan (10/2)

drawing something for that is what kicked off my streak last year

ahhh decisions, decisions...

it seems to be a good way of getting me to put things out more frequently, but do i really want that pressure?

i mean, it was my new years resolution last year to get better at art, but this year i'm trying to get good at music!

it's certainly proving more arduous, and i've only really managed to make one arrangement so far

maybe i should do some sort of weird music-based inktober instead? hmm

i don't think i could make something good daily, so i would need to do weekly instead, maybe?

last year, i set myself up with a really strict set of rules where if i missed a single day, i would have failed for the entire month and had to stop

the added pressure, combined with the fact that i had a streak going managed to push me through the entire month!

though i'll admit it came down to the wire more often than i would have liked

i haven't decided if i want to do inktober yet

self care is deciding you don't need to engage with people who make you feel bad

you don't need to feel guilty about controlling your environment to be something that makes you just a little bit happier!

does anyone know of any neat articles on procedural dungeon generation?

i have some ideas, but i wanna see what else is out there before diving into it!

what i mean is, if i wanted to change any of these things, i can just change it and hit ctrl+c, ctrl+c on it to swap it right into the game *while it's running*

but if i wanted to step-by-step debug any of these things, i have to put a (debug) statement in it and hope the stack tells me what i need to know as i step through things

the fact i can swap code into a running game to change things on the fly has always been one of my favorite things about common lisp!

but i forgot how silly its debug support was--i've been spoiled by clojure's tooling

i made a quick placeholder sprite in azpainter so i could experiment with player movement, and ended up accidentally drawing Not-Good Kirby

it's 2:20 am, and *of course* i wanna write a roguelike in lisp right this second

i actually already knew that, but i decided somewhere along the way that mentioning things that might not ever get completed was just setting others up for disappointment

but on the flipside, seeing interest in things i do is motivation, and having it out there is more motivation on top of that!

hm, maybe come new year, i'll have to shake things up a bit!

it's kinda strange how i use masto like a staging area for thoughts

i felt like i kinda painted myself into a corner with most of my social media where i don't do anything except post stuff that i spent a lot of effort on

but i'm noticing that it seems like the idle thoughts along the way are far more interesting than just having a general "list of things i've done"

going back and trying to write Common Lisp really makes me appreciate how simplified Clojure made a lot of things

like, with-slots, destructuring-bind, multiple-value-bind, let, and let* in Common Lisp all can be handled with Clojure's let macro

heck, Clojure vectors basically remove half of the reasons why you'd ever want to quasiquote (especially outside of a macro)

huh, neat

gboard's glide typing randomly decided to break on me, and clearing its learned words fixed it

i really wanna know what word did that for, uh, experimentation reasons
