This is what my house looked like the day my son was born. He came two weeks early.

It was overwhelming. We got drywall up and then stopped work and lived with no floors or doors for 6 months.

I know the hopeless feeling well. It gets better, I promise.

I've been working on this for Doom WADs - it only works with oldschool Doom wads though, not newer gzdoom format wads. Clicking the play button on the level preview loads the wad in a web port of Chocolate Doom

Still a work in progress but if you wanna try it out it's here bai.dev/doom/doomscr...

Nice. Yeah I was up in the fire roads above Marin the other day, those hills are really happy after all the rain we got earlier this year

See? I knew we wouldn't have to wait long.

I've got a similarly weird comment in my engine, at some point in development I was getting XR frames with no head pose data and had to handle that case

View from my parents' place in northern Valencia, from an hour ago. They're just outside the evacuation zones....hope it stays that way 😬

Pretty sure I remember kiltbros being a thing in tech in the late 90s. Looked something like this.

I don't know if this counts as arty, but I was proud that this picture I drew earlier this year really captured my son's defiant sassiness. If I recall, he was double-thumbs-downing the dinner I'd just cooked for him, after a particularly difficult day.

He was not amused - but I was!

My kids are loving it too. So am I.

Yeah I've had mine running my radiant floor heating for about 10 years now and I basically have to trick it into being a dumb timer-based thermostat. Radiant floor heating has a huge lag time so if I let it do it's thing it ends up way too hot during the day, and too cold at night

When I saw these pictures I started laughing the hardest I've laughed in years. Whether it's real or not, the whole thing is fucking hilarious.
