ah i love when cloudformation doesn't support all the settings for an aws resource and your templates cannot fully describe your infrastructure (i don't love it)

hmm I think I can use instancing to greatly speed up tiled map rendering, too. this will be fun.

I think it's safe to say that most of my performance woes with using Lisp for game dev are over. Using Guile 2.9.1 w/ JIT and OpenGL instanced rendering, I can render ~13000 moving sprites at 60fps on my old Thinkpad x220 with Intel integrated graphics. This is a ~3x improvement over using simple batched rendering. The sprites are not y-sorted and no collision tests are performed beyond checking if they left the screen, so in a real game the max throughput will be lower. #gamedev

first fire of the season and it's on a full moon! time to make a burnt offering to the dark lord.

I played the "You are Jeff Bezos" text adventure and got the True Ending on my first run. Good game.

the term "retro-fetishism" is very apt for bands like this.

I've heard like one Greta Van Fleet song, thought it was meh, and now I just read this Pitchfork review of their album that is absolutely brutal.

@cwebber oh good. I've been waiting for his response.

@Gargron because e-sports players want to get CTE like real sports players.

I'm stuck in the worst phase of the moon production build failure I've ever been involved in and I'm about to "resolve" it with a dumb hack that makes things work but I still have no clue what made things break.

this video of a japanese furniture maker building a new chest for old medicine cabinet drawers is just so relaxing to watch, and I really love the final result. blending old and new is an aesthetic I'm really into.

she snooze

I have a cold but my best friend is helping me feel better.

has anyone ever tiled their bathroom floor in Conway's game of life patterns with those cute little classic black and white tiles? I think it would look awesome.

@cwebber best idea.

trader joe's dark chocolate peanut butter cups are my favorite treat

boo i have a cold

in addition to spending many hours sanding walls and trim, I also removed studs and chipped away messy mortar blobs on the chimney. almost time to build the mantle and shelves.
