The ability to play triple-A games on any screen anywhere was liberating. I remember having an uh-oh realization though when I considered if Google can do it with games, its only a matter of time until Adobe does it with their design apps, and Microsoft does it with a whole OS, and pretty soon everyone is just renting services from a dumb access terminal with zero local compute. We seem to be inching closer to that reality. 2026-02-20T06:17:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyahz9f0dfkgpxqkynx9qz0v8w9eptyykv6mk7dkctjwg0ft048aqzypytwsz0xvw87el37j3rypycv6j9qkutfs3wm69eyl4e6xqghmzeyr8qkpd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdcnslmzsh4ruekksvsgzdnzg53kwlm9k9wv29xxkcke0eanml3qqk3rrew'>nevent1q…rrew</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Really interesting. I&#39;m quite the opposite. I like lots of repetition as long as theres a multitude of layers. Like in good dance and house music. My mind effectively zooms in and out (auditorily speaking) to different instruments or beats, hangs out there for a bit, then focuses in on a different component. As long as tracks are complex enough, it feels like I&#39;m remixing music in my head on the fly by selectively isolating and combining different elements. 2026-02-05T05:50:57Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0czhqtgpqcnj2gt8p76mthhrtmd8cnpxj7m0vk8ee8hpesh0hnvszypytwsz0xvw87el37j3rypycv6j9qkutfs3wm69eyl4e6xqghmzey8lynrm RE: <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@cmdrmoto/115930556595195213">https://hachyderm.io/@cmdrmoto/115930556595195213</a><br/><br/>Just read the full text of this WA State bill, and it&#39;s extremely ill-conceived.<br/><br/>The proposed &#34;algorithm&#34; compares slicer code to a database of known gun files.

The idea is that you interview people and look for clues, and each item gets added to an investigator&#39;s journal. <br/><br/>The tricky bit was to control the sequence items were added to the journal. Took a while to figure out a system to make that work but now you can find clues in any order, and they fill up the journal starting on page 1.<br/><br/>#GBStudio #RetroGaming #GameBoy<br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/365/967/122/459/969/original/0df50d2f416b6973.mp4"></video><br/> 2024-10-25T03:36:49Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswr4lkxka3xtuwr0nsya0jjg4f80nceamquu9a5an3hn92ejl8slczypytwsz0xvw87el37j3rypycv6j9qkutfs3wm69eyl4e6xqghmzeyeshzh6 Wife grew a bunch of sunflowers this year, and I’m surprised by the color variety.
