My money's on choking to death on a burger while sitting on a toilet and jerking it to a picture of his daughter.

Things can't get better as long as propagandists like those at Fox news are allowed to operate unchecked. No matter what happens, no matter how many people get hurt, they will continue to find a way to give credit to the conservatives and demonize the left. Even if they have to outright fabricate stories to do so.

These people use "socialism" as a scary word to argue against anything that benifits poor people. And they send emails about how evil democrats are to anyone stupid enough to read them. They are a cancer.

I've been playing The Axis Unseen. Framerate can be a bit rough at times, but some patches fixed the worst of it and made it playable.

Huh... All these years I thought it meant "Help! My mouth was replaced with a butthole!"

There's a reason my mouse has buttons dedicated to copy and paste.

Pick things up and put them down, is my guess.

I wouldn't say no to another Echo Night.

I'd sooner go full-time on my game dev hobby and hope for the best.

 

Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I'll never know, because I didn't become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.

I don't remember it. But there's enough metal hardware under the seat that I'm sure it's basically impossible to break that way.

And I thank you.

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

You are welcome!

My biggest fear is that my office chair might break in such a way that the hydraulic piston breaks through the seat and punctures my colon.

 
 

Let me preface this one by saying that the blame for this is entirely on me and my carelessness when shopping online. I did not get scammed. I was just being stupid.

Several times.

So I recently bought a synthesizer to connect to my MIDI controller (an 88 key keyboard with some knobs and blinking lights and shit).

I saw that this new device has a 3.5mm MIDI port while I only had the classic 5-pin kind. No problem, I'll buy an adapter.

The adapter arrives, and I discover that the one I bought has the female 5-pin connector and won't plug into the keyboard. Well, crap.

Buy another adapter. Made sure the 5-pin side was male.

Oops. Turns out that the 3.5mm MIDI cables come in type A or type B, and I chose poorly.

So I search for "midi type a to b converter" and without thinking at all, I bought a converter that has two female connectors. Fuck me.

At this point, a sane person would've just cut the first two adapters and soldered the correct ends together, but fuck it, I'm in too deep now. I gotta get a 3.5mm MIDI cable with two male ends to complete this daisy-chain of madness and find out how long it takes for me to get bored and find another hobby.

 

I'm tired of hearing about popular games. Are there any games you played and were surprised by how little attention it got? A game you really enjoyed, but was only reviewed by five people?

 

I have an app that I released a couple years ago (plus another legacy app that I maintain for one of my company's clients). My game has a long-ish title, but it was fine until some asshat at Google decides that 33 characters is too long. On top of that, every time I'm forced to update the target SDK, I need to spend several hours figuring out a bunch of new build errors. This is not how I wanted to spend my vacation time.

 

Sorry about the shaky camera. I didn't take my tripod with me that day.
