with a little help from his older brother, Hank Green has invented an absurdly enjoyable word-spelling game called smush.

#play hank green's word game with me....you know you want to....

big fan of strattland being a little too comfortable in each others' space and weirding everyone else out completely straight-faced

it does suck that the government defunded PBS but it's also so fucking funny that now that they don't take uncle sam's slavery dollars they're running videos like "How america's foundation was built on genocide"

no more being polite about it fuck the USA

one of my favorite parts of the phm ending is that at the beginning of the book, grace makes a bitchy aside about vegans in san fransisco and at the end he is effectively vegan (meburgers are consensual auto-cannibalism and thus vegan by my standards) <3 god's sense of humor has no bounds, asshole.

Just thought it'd be funny to let you know that now I'm a teacher, I CONSTANTLY have to turn your game off on student screens when they are supposed to be doing something else. Years ago I was the student constantly playing cookie clicker instead of doing work. They didn't believe me when I said I could send an ask to your blog about it so here I am lol.

guilt about the damage i've indirectly caused to the education system almost completely counterbalanced by knowing how much my game is also gunking up corporate workplaces if i'm honest

there's this sort of default assumption online that you're meant to have watched the latest defunctland, hbomberguy or dan olson video in a manner i'd compare to "catch the game last night?"

#this post introduced me to dan olsen thank you #aka folding ideas

i need to mention that while i did get a lot of planning done for a possible neverending legacy rework in the last few days i'd like to dip back into that audio program i've been making before i get started on any big game stuff. rationale being that once it's usable i can produce all the sound effects my games will ever need and ooo perhaps low-bandwidth in-browser sequenced music too

particularly excited to no longer have to rely on other people's software for audio stuff. please i just need to reinvent one more wheel. just this one wheel and it's gonna be so good it's gonna be the best wheel because it's gonna be mine #mywheel

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

developing audio software. i fix a bug that's been bothering me for a while. doing so i also lay down important infrastructure for later features. i feel accomplished with my tangible progress. ctrl-f "todo". 146 hits

i need to keep going until i at least have something to show off on here. so far it makes music. i can add tracks and place notes and edit the instruments and play the songs. everything i need for filters is in place. parameter automation and audio samples not in yet but already prototyped in some older project so not too daunting. i've put so much work into this already and it is so cool but it is so not showable yet

due to being browser-based it will not have VST support :))) i also took a glance into VST bindings for a possible Electron build and while that's technically feasible it's looking to be much beyond what my patience can afford. my program does however let you add whatever instrument and effect plugins you want if you can code it in javascript. i'd also like to look into adding support for sf2 soundfonts when i have the time

i know you're already typing "of course the cookie clicker guy would post that" but i really do have a fondness for exponential automation bootstrapping scenarios. one of my favorite old minecraft modpacks had stuff like solar panels and replicators. what you do is you painstakingly amass the components to create your first replicator (which involves rubber farms, ore quarries, processing lines, etc) and go to great lengths to power it through cranks you have to turn or coal you have to dig up. at some point you build your first solar panel. very slow energy output but it passively powers your replicator for free. what do you replicate? solar panels. you can then craft more efficient solar panels out of those solar panels. your energy output accelerates and so does your replication rate. eventually you're producing so much extra energy that you can justify plugging in a second replicator, and then a third, which you replicated for free. your replicators replicate replicators along with the solar panels that power them. for fun, you drop one diamond in the system and your entire chest network fills up almost immediately with thousands and thousands of diamonds. you will never run out of anything ever again. i don't think that modpack has replicators anymore
