someone mentioned cosmic's cosmic adventure today, which somehow lead to me spending entirely too long learning how to reverse its data files in imhex

(i have no idea why i'm like this either)

TIL steam has a page specifically tailored to call me out for being that kind of person

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".

Edit 2024: They went IPO.

Here's a list of alternatives:

lishogi actually has a pretty rad tutorial too!

(and piece sets that don't require you to know kanji--even though i'm definitely going to lean into that personally)

i am Pretty Bad at shogi, but i've always found it much more interesting than chess because of how you can place pieces you capture from your opponent back on the board~

it'll be nice to have something that looks and feels nice to play on to learn with!

(i guess i probably shouldn't be surprised because of its popularity compared to lichess and the fact that it's pretty new)

oh! ibispaint also has a time lapse thingy!

buuuut it ended up being kinda not very useful because i was talking while drawing, so the lines pretty much appear instantly between the gaps, oops

tfw you write an emacs macro that touches 71 files

splatoon 

and actually, even though i main it, i didn't know about the variable jump height! i'll definitely need to try and incorporate that more~

i'm always down for some cool new tech for things i like~

tfw prochara makes a video about your underrepresented main and calls it the perfect weapon for all the reasons you like it

ahah, it feels absolutely wild to unlock a thing on a site

...and have it be something you drew!

!!

i drew a one of the collectable kaocoins for renshuu, and i finally got it today!

on a scale of "impossible" to "totally impossible", i wonder how viable making a japanese branch of a two-person company would be as a means to be able to live in japan without needing to be beholden to its work culture
