because it's funny I guess (I didn't know plastic calipers existed) and I wanna practice reading vernier scales so I don't have to rely on electronic calipers (after the one time I wanted to use mine and the battery gave out so I had to scramble to find an LR44 battery)

ipad's been out for over a decade now and there's probably like a billion of them out there but it took a $3500+ (aud) fancy phone only a tiny percentile of people will own for some apps to finally properly support it

people who made their own drawing applications in smilebasic (both on 3DS and switch) are what inspired me to make my own in pico-8 btw (and as a result, my daily doodles in 2023)

if it's ever up for sale again, you should buy SmileBASIC 4 regardless of anything else around it, on account of the fact that SmileBASIC 4 is really cool

sako
@alt.sako.works

smilebasic is so cool, I haven't used it as much as I want to but I like to keep up with the community. It's extremely important for applications like it to exist IMO. hate why people are learning about it recently and how this happened. goes against the entire purpose of the app

sako
@alt.sako.works

hope some of those people actually use the app the way it's intended and gain some new skills after learning about it. programming is really fun (least surprising opinion from me)

there's a kind of online space i've been wanting to exist recently and I haven't quite found it yet. surely many spaces like it exist already, but it's feeling like I might have to make the specific one I want myself. I don't really wanna make yet another discord server though

either way i'm fine with it being a niche space. it might be better off that way, being easier to moderate and all

sako
@alt.sako.works

the thing is, I don't really want to be an admin or moderator for a community and haven't been great at keeping my own discord servers active. In general I don't really chat in big servers with a ton of people. but with how the internet is now, I really want this specific space to exist

been thinking about having it be on matrix, but I haven't looked very much in to what setting that up entails. I also have a fluxer account, it seems pretty neat although it's copying way too much of discord's homework for me to have confidence in it as a platform.

ok, yes. i used a little blood magic to make this potion. but in my defense, it's hard NOT to use blood magic these days. all the tomes and orbs are powered by it. blood magic is really a systemic issue. in a way i'm a hero for admitting i use it

I'm ready to do a test stream in a bit. feels nostalgic setting up OBS, it's been a while

sako
@alt.sako.works

I've never properly been a "streamer" but I've done this so many times over the past decade or so, I've gotten very familiar with the process. starting from scratch with the scenes and everything though, since I've changed my OS, so it's very minimal for now

PS6 gonna be the most forced console generation of all time if they release it in the next 5 years. First console upgrade no one was asking for

its right and important for the userbase to be loud about what bsky is doing, it sucks and nobody wants this to become twitter 2. but if your first reaction is to go back to that garbage pile i dont know what to tell you. i hope you see it for what it is asap

yikes... I didn't know bluesky used ai I'm going back to X the Everything App, featuring Grok (integrated into every corner of the app)

sako
@alt.sako.works

I used to argue a lot in places like reddit and my first few years of using twitter. I've really cooled down in the past decade and try my best to be chill and not be like that anymore. I very rarely revert to that behaviour and I feel ugly when I do (happened today)

sako
@alt.sako.works

I will never understand people who pay lip service to a cause but otherwise do nothing, while mocking those who are doing (a lot) more than nothing. Criticising those making an effort for not doing 100%, while they comfortably sit on their high chair doing 0%

sako
@alt.sako.works

what do they consider to be 100%? it doesn't matter, they will keep moving the finish line further away. Nothing will be enough, people just want to criticise those who are doing more than them.

reminds me of people dumping everything they come across into notion/obsidian/whatever, the whole "second brain" movement. I almost fell into that rabbit hole but my laziness saved me

I tried the using notion as your "life dashboard" thing for a bit, quickly decided I didn't want my life to revolve around a bloated electron app (or website) that's slow to launch and requires internet connectivity.

sako
@alt.sako.works

It also helped me realise that I'd rather my own complex brain take charge of my life than a computer analysing an inherently limited amount of Data. not everything in life can be computable

I'm sorry, I don't like how I've been acting here recently. I really don't like being like this, I will try to tone it back down. I wanna spend less time yapping about bad things and more time making stuff. but I don't wanna be silent and ambiguous anymore either.

it really shouldn't have been a surprise to someone working with me for years that I strongly value certain things, but I guess it wasn't self-evident enough. though another reason why I was kinda quiet publicly was that I felt like a hypocrite, working on something that goes against my views

sako
@alt.sako.works

having said all that, I want to avoid being another person on the timeline posting about things I hate and how everything sucks. I'd rather share things that make me and others happy

I realised that me being somewhat quiet about things in the last few years resulted in certain people I worked closely with having a warped image of me. maybe the way I talked made me seem unopiniated, but I'm more just a coward who wants to avoid uncomfortable (but ultimately unavoidable) arguments
