I finally figured out how to track window velocity, so I used user32.dll to forcefully unclick my mouse and shatter the UI as a "punishment".

lol tbh I didn’t read the part about multiple accounts wtf is that about lol
It's exactly as awkward as it looks, lol. Basically, I’m a solo dev who is way better at C# than I am at "The Internet". I kept getting my posts auto-deleted for "Advertising" rules on my first account, and in my panic, I thought the account itself as "shadowbanned" or something. So I kept making new ones trying to find a community where the project actually "fit" without getting nuked. Total amateur move—I realized too late that it just makes me look like a bot farm. I'm nuking the other accounts and sticking to this one now!
Writing all of your comments with ChatGPT isn't doing you any favors.
man i can't win lol. i literally just tried to reply to this but my comment got nuked by the auto-mod for 'profanity.'
but yeah, you caught me—i’m from vietnam and my english is shaky, so i’ve been using tools to polish my grammar because i didn't want to look like a sketchy spammer. turns out over-polishing it just makes me look like a 'clanker' anyway.
i'll stop trying to sound professional and just stick to my actual brain. i'm a real dev, just bad at the social part of the internet. my bad.
That's what I thought at first. But the fact that you now say "i’ll stop trying to sound professional and just stick to my actual brain" while still using AI just makes it worse
Honestly, I have no idea what you are thinking right now. It sounds like the more I try to explain, the more I'm getting accused of. The purpose of this post is to be funny, yes. But also to share my technical project while still using the correct terminology to create a clear communication and understanding of both the creator and the viewers (yes, I spent a lot of time thinking if using this 'word' is correct or not because English is not my native language! But it seems like those efforts backfired on me). I do not offend you or anything, but I would prefer any other positive words or any coding question, so that others can not just laugh, but learn new things too, instead of keeping focus on this topic.
Caught me. English isn't my first language (I'm from Vietnam), so I’ve been using tools to help me fix my grammar because I didn't want to sound like a 2005 spam email.
I guess I over-polished it and ended up sounding like a 'clanker' anyway lol. Just a real guy trying to share a project without looking like a total idiot. I'll stick to my actual broken English from now on. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Its applied to new users and disabled once we are sure they arent going to spam abuse images. It is aggressive, it does suck that we have to do this. We dont like it either.
Hm clanker says what?
Wow, calling me a clanker... now I actually feel offended 💀:/
