I almost feel bad for people living in "smart" homes while the wireless emergency alert test is going on... imagine taking a massive dump and not being able to flush the toilet because it's too busy blurting out "THIS IS ONLY A TEST. DO NOT PANIC, THIS IS ONLY A TEST" and you have to wait until it finally shuts the fuck up before it lets you even remotely attempt to jiggle the handle.

i've been thinking about maybe changing the name of my "game studio" before the beta of my game is ready. at that point it will be solidified permanently, basically, and i'm not so sure i like the name of Useless Torch.

i think part of it is because Useless Torch was supposed to be a combination of all my friends getting together and working on stuff, but since its inception everyone has gone seperate ways and i can't see them really working for/with me in the future. so i kind of want to move away from that name and have something that refers to just me working alone with freelancers to fill in the gaps.

i've been thinking about using the name "After Midnight" recently. have a sort of logo design in mind for it too. if there is any time i'm going to change my studio name it'll be now, because i don't want people to get confused if i change it after it has been proliferated more.

what do you guys think?

God, I am fucking sick of this shitty Raspberry Pi setup. It's slow as fuck. The software support is shit. I'm having weird graphical issues when connecting this to an HDMI monitor (screen occasionally goes black for a few seconds and green pixels clutter the screen). The headphone jack doesn't work so I have no sound. And for whatever reason, Raspberry Pi won't run scripts on a NTFS formatted flash drive even with the correct permissions.

Not to mention that most potholes are caused by larger vehicles like that and not cars

@PurpCat Vehicle politics are honestly baffling to we. It's either "public transport is communist and spreads AIDs" or "pickup trucks are the spawn of endgame capitalism and run over 50 children daily."

So it seems like Bob Ross actually died from his own odorless paint-thinners. That could probably explain why so many other artists die young.

Reminder to always use natural chemicals whether you are an artist or not.

thinking about "i was cursed" again. I'm pretty sure they use a post-processing pass to sample the materials present on screen semi-randomly and then apply stamps per-material. It's a really cool technique and one I haven't really seen anywhere else
