Ah yes, the joke programming language I made because I wondered if I could and not if I should is not reaching its full potential. github.com/haihala/jsonpp
A robit reaching out to help with my open source project. It picked my most starred project to highlight, which unfortunately for it, is a literal joke.

GMTK 2026 shrinking in the rear-view mirror, laying on the floor and staring at the ceiling sounds mighty fine. I've had creeping doubts on if I really want to make games and yup I do, it was *just* burnout again, sigh. Happy nevertheless now. The goods: itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam...

Revealing my comic ignorance, but what is it that people find so cool about Cyclops? i've never read a comic with him in it and know that the fox movies did him dirty, but I don't find him that compelling in X-men '97 either, although I've only seen S1.

Using clanker lingo like "You are absolutely right" and "Smoking gun" as a mild to moderate indication of sarcasm made me feel really human for some reason.

Me last week: Oh man burnout is knocking on the door pretty hard, gotta let something go and focus on recovery. Me today: I should get a table together and start GMing again. Just gotta skim apocalypse world real quick and ask around and do some light world building, maybe a Frostpunky thing...

Reading through Apocalypse world, and the game unequivocally states that if something (that's not the PCs) catches your eye as the GM, consider murdering it. The sheer audacity of it, but the vision reveals itself. There is no status quo.

Apocalypse world feels like smoking. Took one hit, almost puked, tasted horrendous, yuck. After a while, I tried again, not bad Now I keep thinking about that damn book every hour or so. Fuck.

Recently been building a PoC at work with the newest and shiniest the [JT]S ecosystem has to offer and I am deeply underwhelmed. Some new things I tried: Bun, Elysia, Drizzle, and Biome. Svelte on the front is still pretty nice. Maybe I was too harsh on runes.

Playing "Is this seat taken" and in a classroom scenario came across a shape that forgot to take a shower (smelly), will help others (nerd, annoying to some) and needs help (needs to sit next to a nerd) and boy I have never related more to a rhombus.

Been watching Twin peaks recently and it's strange how different TV was 35 years ago. Just the ambient stuff like how it's normal for teenagers to smoke indoors is so alien to me.

Man gmail becomes tricky to use when dealing with large threads. I sent out a bulk email and all of the responses and my responses to the responses are shown in a linear jumbled mess. Email is a tree.

The three countries we really need to turn on this are France, Italy and Spain (they have the largest numbers of MPs other than Germany, who already opposes). But I don't speak those languages, so if anyone wants to translate or make their own posts, please, please do so!!

The comic is titled "My Favorite Fighting Game Archetypes:"

Panel titled "The Grappler That Barely Fits on Screen". It's a huge, extremely muscular, bald 'pro wrestler' type character with metal bands around his arms. He is so big that he doesn't even notice his opponent, a regular sized guy in a yellow karate gi trembling in his shadow. His head is also bending the health bars above them.

Panel titled "The Small Idiot With a Big Stupid Weapon". It is a girl in a predominantly pink Japanese schoolgirl uniform with with a yellow ribbon on the collar, running excitedly, a sparkle in her eyes. With both arms she is wielding a full sized heating radiator.

Panel titled "The Straight Fundamentals, No Funny Business." Is it a grey-haired older man tightening the belt of his karate gi, which has yellow patches on the arms. He has a stern expression, confident in his mastery of his craft.

Panel titled "The Funny Business". It is some kind of purple imp type guy in a pink-and-yellow jester outfit with teal pom poms attached to the 3 points of the hat. He has a bag with a metal spiky ball, a giant wacky wooden hammer, and a banana peel inside it. There's also a whoopee cushion that fell out. He is pulling a gun out of it.
