As far as I'm concerned, there's one very crucial reason why Distant Horizons is a better choice than Voxy and it's that DH is actually open-source. Nothing I hate more than the term "source available"... #minecraft #opensource

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to use "Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" as the test track for my 24/7 livestream radio project, because I'm beginning to go insane

Moving from the suburbs to a city with public transportation has been wonderful for a lot of reasons, but one of my favorites is the increase in opportunities for Staring Out The Window And Daydreaming.

I'd love to see it! Right now, the only wren that is in the app is the Carolina Wren pictured above, so the more the merrier.

That’s so adorable, I hope she enjoys!!! I’ve spent so much time agonizing over that bird pixel art (as I’m obv not an artist) so I’m grateful those hours spent in Aseprite were not a waste!

I don't know why you'd want to record yourself anyway, but why on earth would you use those overpriced "AI voice recorders" rather than the retro recorders with those awesome tiny cassettes?

I have always loved the passion around the jailbreaking community for all sorts of things. Just a bunch of people getting together to try and run terrible themes and emulators on the devices they paid for, it's great.

During the month of June, PicoChat includes a pride and trans flag in the emojis section! It includes these emojis every other month too, but also in June.

Note that none of this applies to my upcoming project anyways as you can't use either group's libraries for your own livestream radios (which makes sense). Instead I'm building my own rotations and hoping I have good enough music taste to do so!

It's a shame that the Lofi Girl group has decided to stop letting video makers use their catalog as I always thought that was a cool thing for them to do. @chillhop.com still has a program to let creators use their music though!

What's weird is that this isn't even a real physics entity, so I have absolutely no clue how it "derailed" like this when it is just meant to follow the path and direction of the track! But it was accompanied by a timeout so I will need to track done the bug...

Please do not fall into the trap of thinking that a side project should be "useful". The only purpose of a side project is to be enjoyed. Perhaps you enjoy making it, or maybe you enjoy using it once it's finished, but always remember that the joy itself is the goal.
