my plans are still fuzzy, but that's more or less the end goal, or something like that. I'll see where things lead once all that's settled

in the meantime, I've been working on a bunch of other random stuff first is my TTRPG system, hacking on that and playtesting it in a personal server! here's the guidebook, though it's super rough and incorrect in places itsmapleleaf.notion.site/Aspects-of-Nat…

Derive state and keep it changing state in handler functions as much as possible, i.e. handleClick

One nuclear power plant in bumfuck nowhere could provide 500,000x more energy than both these fields combined btw

excited to see the america party spoil the GOP vote

so they *are* and always have been ass-kissing, but remember that you're allowed to care (and honestly probably should) about U.S. politics outside the U.S., even if you're caring incorrectly

my dichotomy of twitter vs. 🦋 has become basically: - twitter when i wanna say shit that'll probably piss someone off for fun - 🦋 when it's something personal, meaningful, or memey y'all are missing out on some bangers

the fact they used GH and RB in a 2025 post about rhythm games says all that needs to be said about the average western understanding of the genre

ok no y'all don't understand, THIS is all of the code to sync your app state no socket messaging, no manual state sync, no cache invalidation, no polling, THAT'S HECKING IT
