Man .... someone's really *getting what they need* from OpenGameArt.org this week. On the one hand, I'm really curious what game this is for; on the other hand, I absolutely don't want to know.

The Properties API is a seriously cool sleeper feature of SDL v3. It's not the best hashmap implementation ever written for C, but it's good enough for most cases you'll need (including iterators), and it's already there. Seriously handy.

When everyone keeps saying to stop writing C because muh memory safety Get off my goddamn lawn

Started Bear's Restaurant expecting something like Overcooked with more story. WAS NOT READY FOR WHAT I GOT. Who's cutting these damn onions

Let's bring back the #webring in 2025 brisray.com/web/webring-li… Got any other lists of webrings?

Started adding graphics support to my #basic interpreter. Used github.com/veandco/go-sdl2 for SDL bindings. V3 bindings were too difficult to get working. Used a truetype font from style64.org. Output goes to the SDL window, need to move the input to SDL next.

Consumers do not want this shift. We want fun content. The Video Games Industry Is Facing A "Fundamental Realignment", Having Moved From A "Content" Past to A "Social Network of Games" Present, Says Former Square Enix Director of Business share.google/wT7MPfogXcRV7p…

Modified my BASIC interpreter to support multiline subroutines that take arguments and return values. Required a pretty significant overhaul of the runtime and environment objects to support preserving multiple scopes while following those calls. Fun times tho

Finished Elroy and the Aliens recently. Delightful, highly recommended. There will come a time when you have an important choice to make: PUSH HIM. Trust me on this. It's the only way to put things right.
