Is there seriously still no way to buy digital music from bands signed to traditional record labels without giving a hefty cut to giant asshole tech companies

Finally got around to playing 10 Beautiful Postcards and it is utterly delightful and endlessly surprising and everyone should spend hours wandering around in it http://harmonyzone.org/10BeautifulPostcards.html

@rabbitboots aaaaaah I just saw your homemade tracker posts that sounds like FUNNN

I have taught my son that opening up the inspector on any webpage and adding "contenteditable" to the body tag allows him to freely type the word "butts" anywhere on that webpage and I have a strong suspicion that this knowledge will shortly spread to his entire school

There’s a Commodore 64 game called “Where’s My Bones” and someone should write a book about old computer games that are actually shitposts https://archive.org/details/d64_Wheres_My_Bones_1984_Interceptor_Micros

aaah I came up with a cool idea that fixes a bunch of story problems I was having. I wrote a _bunch_ of new stuff for the game today (in comparison to... literally any other time I've worked on the story)

might actually finish this thing someday after all

Added the ability to choose between conversational options / implement dialog trees. Hard to believe I’ve gone this long without it!

I have discovered some Forbidden Java Code that Eclipse won't let me type without hard locking forever, cool

I kind of need to type that code, though

So I've been listening to some of my old CDs, and I put on Aphex Twin's Come to Daddy EP for the first time in... a lot of years.

And, like, there's a lot of really incredible music on that album, but also my memory really downplayed what a fucking juvenile edgelord RDJ was

It crashes when I hit page down but one milestone at a time

Welp, I've finally got an interactive instrument loading interface! This is pretty fun to jam with now

My problem was a new word I'd written to simplify saving & restoring variables - saving 3 values takes up 7 slots on the return stack. If I rewrite it to do some of the work at compile-time I should be able to make it only use 3.

Stack overflow. Increased the return stack size and everything worked tickety boo.

(I don't actually know what Bud the Spud is about, don't @ me)

Even Stompin' Tom Conners - a man who wrote songs about anthropomorphic PEI potatoes and how hockey is good - wrote a song about getting the fuck out of Winnipeg https://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/stompin+tom+connors/red+river+jane_20785557.html
