Notices by Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now! (eniko@peoplemaking.games)

If you have two monitors how do you have them set up? I.e. one right in front and one off to the side, or do you have their edges meet right in front?

@foone this has happened to me before without setting up a new computer

Do we need a project for archiving the internet archive?

wow, gosh, really? it was fake the whole time? who could have guessed it! you mean a billionaire would just do that, lie for profit?

I'm sure Apple having research showing "lol AIs don't know shit" and them dropping out of the OpenAI investment round are 100% unrelated

Kitsune Tails won the silver award in the Queer Games Festival 2024! https://stevivor.com/news/queer-games-festival-2024-winners-announced/

Kitsune Tails is a queer platformer featuring gay fox girls in the style of SMB3 and Super Mario World available on Steam and itch: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

I miss cohost. Not nearly as much as other people but it was kinda my backup for stuff to scroll through after I consumed all of my mastodon feed. Now I have no backup since bsky is like Twitter enough (read: toxic enough) that I refuse to put it on my phone

giving the *gestures* everything, it's getting harder and harder to tell myself that my fondness for retro games and hardware is really nostalgia and not because things were actually better

EDIT: i don't mean only gaming, i mean general computing

maybe i just miss having hope for tech instead of only cynicism

i dunno. i guess i'd just rather have something thats kinda rough than have something polished but purposefully enshittified

so turns out that destination-driven code generation is really easy until you have to deal with branching and then there's really nowhere that actually explains how it works except for the original academic paper which is too heavy on the math symbols for my little brain

just had a breakthrough. so on this slide (page 44 of the V8 pdf for those of you following along at home) what it's trying to express is the following:

fallthrough can be truthy, falsey, or neither. if fallthrough is truthy, you want to fall through if the condition is true, so you test for false and jump to false

if fallthrough is falsey, you test for true and jump to true

if fallthrough is neither, you first test for true and jump to true, otherwise jump to false

this was not well explained at all but critical for figuring out how to make things work >_>

i'm less sure about this next bit but i realized for a logical or i wanted to treat both sides as their own thing with their own plugs

the problem was nested logical ors would create redundant jumps no matter what i did. the critical bit here is `new ControlDest(truthy, truthy, default)` which creates an invalid control destination but still carries information about where to jump for truthy cases

this means children don't jump when evaluated, but the truthy label is passed along, so the left hand side of a logical or can still jump when plugging, by setting the false label to nothing while keeping the true label, which makes it a valid control destination again

Feel like if we ever want to break the browser hegemony we need a reboot of web technology to start clean with a design that's actually feasible to implement from scratch without spending billions of dollars

@aral good. Withholding vaccines from people just because they're healthy (and want to stay that way) is utter absurdity, especially given the low uptake of booster shots in general

fuck it, its happening. we're doing oblique perspective

God just absolutely fuck gamers who translate "I did not enjoy this" to "the devs deliberately made this awful"

It's never fucking true you fuckwads. NEVER. No game developer spends literally years of their life to deliberately make something that people (even a minority of people) don't fucking enjoy. It does not happen, it has never happened, and it will never happen, and you fucking know it you wilfully obtuse piece of shit

a video of cloud getting knocked up. call that ffmpreg

im this close to DMing mutuals to gently cajole them into leaving a kitsune tails steam review so we can get to 500 before 5pm >_>

Kitsune Tails is OUT NOW!! Run, jump, and dash across a land inspired by Japanese mythology and untangle the love triangle between three young women on a journey of self discovery. Explore the complicated relationships between kitsune and humans through classic platforming action.

get it now on steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 or itch https://eniko.itch.io/kitsunetails

we're a small underfunded team with a majority queer developers, and while we're punching way above our weight class we need the support of our community if this game is going to be a success. please boost this post, and if you can afford it buy it on steam and leave a positive review on the first day (the text doesn't matter, only the thumbs up, so "i like gay fops" is totally valid as a review)

i also want to prove fedi is powerful enough to make an indie game succeed, so even if you're not personally that into the game, please boost this post? 🙏
