it's been below freezing here the last couple of days, which is all well and good except it turns my seven speed bike into a single speed bike.

I was in fact, bothered.
It's like pulling on a sweater thread, it just won't stop coming!
many months ago i added a thing to my game that messes with the physics engine a whole bunch.
like, it's not made to handle that type of nonsense.
i fixed like 99% of the bugs and moved on with my life.

today when trying to repro another issue i found a new physics bug and I CAN'T BE BOTHERED.

the stars finally aligned on me having both a couple of hours to spare and a suitably minimal project, to finally get around to learning how to make a pcb.

still gotta quintuple check everything before I pull the trigger!

I recently stumbled over this magical machine in a for sale ad.
A single track snowmobile manufactured in the 1960s in Sweden.

We get like four days of snow here a year, so not exactly a useful thing, but just look at it!

I love my children very much, but their current combo of:
A: Being extremely curious about what adults are saying
B: Being very bad at paying attention to what adults are saying
C: Being actively disinterested in any explanations of what the adults were saying

Is _really_ testing my patience.

we're watching lord of the rings with the kids and idk what hbo is up to with that notice

I didn't shave for a week and change, and now I'm the closest I've been to a beard for years.

My entire face is starting to hurt, is that normal?

inbox is where things come to hurt you.
outbox is where you put things to hurt others.
"hitbox" vs "hurtbox" is so ambiguous in my head, is it established which is which?

hitbox is either the box that can hit others, or it's box that gets hit

hurtbox is either the box that can hurt others, or it's the box where you get hurt

are there better names for these?

it's just one shader, how many nodes could it have? four? five?

y'all better appreciate this one once you get to see it. it's pretty good!

on monday i decided to buy a christmas gift because an online retailer said it would get delivered the day after, on tuesday.

it's now wednesday and it hasn't even shipped and i'm regretting my decisions.

seems the android app is really keen on signing you out!
do y'all get signed out of bsky all the time too or is that somehow a me problem?

in the end, i chickened out and named it something more reasonable.

decided to bite the bullet and get my screen size and dpi compensation set up for the new game.

did you know there's a lot of different devices?
like, this ui needs to work on a low dpi small phone and a high dpi tablet and ideally a computer or tv-screen too?

it's awful and i hate it.

sometimes I'm out and about in the world and I see the moon, and then it strikes me that's a *place you can go to*?

that's WILD. it's like, in the sky?!?

i gotta admit, this looked a lot less like, uh whatever this is, when i imagined it.

i've spent the whole morning fighting to figure out the math to place an object inside a view space rectangle by moving the camera, while taking perspective into account.

turns out this is beyond me!

@playtopia.bsky.social hey, I came looking for the schedule and the link in your bio is broken! (.com instead of .co.za)

I've been knocked out by a cold for a week+, but today I finally made it out of the house for the only thing worth pursuing.

if someone made me design some ui thing for hours, implement it for a day and then immediately go "nah, that's not it" i would punch them in the face.

sadly for me, i'm that person.
