finally got myself a proper monitor, so I can retire the stack of milk cartons n shoeboxes my laptop has been resting on

jan ante li kama sona ala kama sona e toki pona?

(I think??)

anyone else know/learning toki pona? mi kama sona e ona

yo this is so fucken good tho

I've been made aware of a conlang called toki pona - with a rad heiroglyphic script

some of the art made with it is sick and now I'm trying to learn it

biggest change here was replacing sdl2 w/ something rustier, but some cocked angles n a bit of _l e r p i n g_ never hurt

it's sorta difficult to describe _why_ this is actually cool, but just trust me when I say it is :p

been working on making a simple textbased roguelike, entirely async, and so far it's going well.

to prove a point, I decided to add a graphical frontend for it - game logic entirely untouched and happy about it

PSA: if you use msvc, check and double check that you're using `/permissive-`.

currently updating some code at work for strict compliance mode and lemme tell you...

msvc lets you get up to some *shit*

been playing w/ the coroutine api in C++ and it's v slowly starting to sink in. it's _far_ more complicated and harder to understand than futures and generators in rust, but I'm getting there.

not a fan of the fact they unconditionally allocate, but being able to create symmetric coroutines is kinda neat I guess?

anyone know if they've fixed the web apis for audio yet

wanna make sound effects for stuff w/out the absurd latency

played jackbox for work team building bc sars2 cancelled our plans lol

two weeks of wfh is slowly starting to take its toll. really struggling to focus on work and really just not looking forward to the next few months

don't see any faces other than my own; probably going to be socially inept by the end of it

woof was not ready to start work this morning

I have caved and now own animal crossing

never owned an animal crossing, but everyone seems to be going nuts over it so here we go I guess

being forced to be productive at home due to *current events* has been an interesting one

hoping to silver line it all and absorb some better habits for my own projects

figured out how to modular my laptop mic so here's ~14 very rough, unedited mins of me fucking around with that
