In fact I was watching a Linus Tech Tips video reviewing a laptop and had a laugh when he said it had "a paltry 8gb of RAM." I'm not even old but I remember when that was quite a bit. It still is, honestly. Developers just began using memory intensive development techniques.

If only software didn't expand to use as much hardware as possible at every opportunity. It pains me every time I see an app developed on electron.

I am enjoying working in assembly, but it takes forever to get stuff done in it. Definitely glad we have supercomputers that can crunch numbers like nobodies business nowadays.

Have been chipping away at a basic game for the #gameboy with the help of the awesome people on the gbdev discord server. I think I've just about got collision figured out, which is a lot harder when you have to manually move data in registers.

Spent the night following some tutorials on writing games for the Gameboy Color in assembly. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

I also discovered #geonkick from a video by @unfa and I've been having a blast trying to make drum loops with it. Percussion is a new area of music for me but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it

Wow a bunch of people seem to have noticed my last toot. After using #zrythm a bit more I realized it's still in alpha, which makes it a little difficult to make music in it right now, but I'm definitely stoked to use it in the future though! (I'll probably still noodle around with it though)

Found out about #zrythm today. I really like it so far. The interface is a lot nicer than LMMS's. I think I'll be using it to try and make music.

Though I don't particularily like the display. It's a little hard to read. Maybe it can be configured?

Well I just found out that there's a mastodon mode for emacs.

@wolf480pl I don't know, I swear I've seen people discus graphics programming on twitter. I would probably follow anyone who did talk about those subjects. The biggest problem is that I don't always want 100% of everybody's posts. Lots of people like to vent about everything, which is fine, but I only have so much bandwidth for hearing about issues before it's too stressful. This is the main reason I stopped using twitter.

@wolf480pl I grew up reading gamedev forums. I usually lurked, but I really enjoyed seeing the projects other people were working on. I guess mastodon/twitter end up covering that now, but I liked the focus on just the projects and not the anything goes as on social media.

@timokoesters @sir could you make bridge split very long messages at words/newlines unless it's code? Seems like that would make wordy messages more readable

@ice oh cool, I'll check those out

@ice what method are you using to record all of it? Paper/computer/etc.?

@ice this sounds like a really nice way to take notes! I might have to try it too

@mntmn yeah, it's amazing how well most components stay on with just a bit of solder

@dthompson :( that's gotta be rough for everyone involved, but especially your niece. I wish her and you the best of luck

@martijnbraam my current Bluetooth headphone has a generous 3 buttons and an on/off switch. One of the most useful headsets I've had. I would prefer them to be wired though.

@dthompson why is everybody getting so worked up over covid19?
