needed to record a quick audio and didn't had anything at hand so I thought "good old windows voice recorder, that will do it"
The voice recorder:

React builds were failing in India only because the government blocked a website so it would make gradle fail to build. I often think about this, frameworks can be nice but as they have freedom to pull other packages when needed it can break for any sort of unrelated reasons

Love how cats be like “f yeah this tiny grass will make me invisible”

@sinbad @on_code yeah salaries in gamedev are bad, and there's tons of talent there, it's a very punishing field and most do out of love for it.

I dunno ... I guess maybe they optimized the code? or wrote smarter code?
Remembering that gamedev era of time when PCs could barely scroll a background and underdog id Software came around and "just" made 3D stuff by approaching things differently.

I like to pause code in TV shows, noticed this Youtube ID on Gilfoyle's computer in Silicon Valley, and yeah I don't know what I was expecting

wow so Tiktok was actually banned huh. Instead of asking for a revert I'd say just throw in Facebook and Twitter in there too, globally! But that would never happen.

@sinbad interesting, I wonder if it was one particular game or a couple of them that made that fun and now the ones you are playing don’t make it as enjoyable? Or even going back to the old ones?

@sinbad ohhh just in perfect time, my sculpt died last week and I'm using a temp kb which I don't like that much. thank you!!!

yikes, you can buy a bunch of 3dfx voodoo 2 with that money.

not as well know as Moore's Law, but Wirth's law states software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware is becoming faster. We might get new devices millions time faster than a decade ago but things are just as fast but using more resources and power. browsers always end up using all RAM.

@bbbscarter @idbrii @sinbad I've seen these recommended a couple times, but I need my function keys row xD

The itch thing keeps getting weirder, Funko reached to itch.io admin mom about the “accusatory statements on social media”, they are likely not happy with the bad publicity, but that’s on them.

so hum... Funko has caused itch.io to be taken down, wth

@sinbad the edge does look nice, although we're probably paying premium for that RGB xD

the logi ergo k860 looks like a neat keyboard (slowly researching eventual replacements for my MS Sculpt), but I wish they had a TLK version, I can't deal with full-key anymore, too uncomfortable.

26 years ago, running on a PS1 at 320x240 resolution, with a 33mhz processor with 2MB RAM + 1MB GPU; Resident Evil 2 was one of the scariest and most immersive games you could play.

I feel like old-gamedev because I don’t think of 16GB of RAM as potato-pc but a luxury. There’s tons you can get done with that amount of memory.
