It was an EXTREMELY sobering experience when I realized this was the case for basically every woman I knew. If this sounds wrong to you, then they probably just haven't told you about it. For many, it's an ongoing concern. They change their behavior and make compromises in their lives

If you're on Win 11 Pro, you can use the group policy editor to defer feature updates by a set number of days (I do a month,) dodging almost all of these stupid issues. If you're on Win 11 Home, you can use regedit to do the same thing. If you're on Win 10, you're smarter than me.

The more I ponder what Mary said here, I think it is VERY important for those who don't like this EVEN IF YOU DON'T STREAM and want to send a message to Amazon on where the Twitch community falls in the genAI discussion to go in their settings and turn this off. The metrics are what speaks to them.

Upcoming Takataka update adds some basic Git integration, letting you see current diff status versus HEAD and conveniently revert changes at will. Diff also visualized in the document minimap. Currently dogfooding. Bonus: Syntax highlighting colors come to the minimap. #softwaredev #dev #gamedev

Here's a fun project that I never shared on here. It's my weirdly modded SNES cartridge copy of Gradius 3. I'll highlight cool people along the way. For quick context, Gradius 3 had a lot of slowdown on the SNES. If you've played it, you know what I'm talking about. #homebrew #snes #modding

I've been working on a game project with completely out of control scope, stepped back and added a document minimap to my weird bespoke text editor. I don't know why I am the way I am, but at least it felt productive. apps.microsoft.com/detail/9ng3v... #gamedev #softwaredev

Took a break from the current project long enough to loop back around and get GBC rendering (mostly) working in my hobby GB/GBC emulator. I think it's good to have multiple things in flight so you can change gears if you start to feel burnt out. Also, not everything has to be monetized. #gamedev

Took a break from in-app UX to work out some iconography/branding I can use for the SNES project. I think I'm going to use some combination of these three, based on context. Might give the user the option to pick between them in the app. #SNES #homebrew #gamedev #retro

Building this node editor for the SNES project mostly from scratch in Avalonia, gotta build everything the user expects. Today: Multi-select for nodes and clipboard support with an undo/redo stack. Not flashy, but needed. There's something more interesting tomorrow. #gamedev #dev #snes #homebrew

Adding syntax highlighting for my own SNES-specific intermediate language to Takataka, because such a large percentage of the userbase wanted that feature. It's me, I'm the userbase. The node graphs turn into this and this turns into 65816 assembly. #gamedev #dev

So this is why I've been working on the custom SNES emulator lately - it's a component for this project. All WIP stuff, but I'm putting together a tool for authoring SNES games with node based programming. It's been coming together fast but there's a ton of work still left. #gamedev #dev #snes

Generated a 1.2GB CPU log file out of the WIP emulator core to debug some bad behavior on a specific ROM and Takataka handles files this size like a dream. 14M+ lines, no prob, Bob. Feels great to get good results while dog-fooding.
