Yo, whaddup? I just logged on here to disassociate my handle from my persona by removing my last name from my profile. This is the only place I had built this association and changing this was easier than finding all my extra-snarky reddit comments and deleting them. :P

@hellojed reason enough ๐Ÿ˜†

anyway thanks for posting about it. since i started working on a kart racer it's been fun to maintain a list of them. *especially* if they're a little janky

@hellojed what prompted you to play GBA kart racers?

I'm streaming some here:

twitch.tv/eppygames

I'm adding gamepad support to a game that wasn't really designed for it, so woooooooooo

@LWFlouisa Makes sense to me. Kind of a core tenet of being open source :)

Senator Henrich is ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Sessions is the most delicate snowflake

@LWFlouisa So folks get to control @ man directly? Talking-web-browser-plus-roguelike is a definite way to drive adoption ๐Ÿ˜† Identification scroll -> authentication?

@LWFlouisa Interesting, is this how the code is internally structured, or is this also the metaphor you see as a user?

@elisa It's honestly slightly motivating for some folks trying to do the same ๐Ÿ‘

@LWFlouisa I noticed that too, many friends either limit their usage of it to just event planning and IM, other have even deleted their accounts.

Was the exodus you saw shortly after Brexit/Trump/et. al, or from before?

@LWFlouisa Old men harassing women they disagree with...yup sounds like Facebook! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Kinda sad, I remember in 2010 it was gonna be this world-changing thing, only to become a place for creeps ๐Ÿ˜ž

Friendly reminder that I make games and music and would love for you to play my stuff and talk to me about it.

Most recent music: rainbowkitten.bandcamp.com/alb

Current game in development: vitekim.itch.io/recoil

What do you think? ๐Ÿ˜

@KitRedgrave thanks :) I don't have anything to contribute, but knowing the context is interesting and helpful since you're talking about stuff that bugs me in UIs everywhere ๐Ÿ˜†

@sanspoint @masklayer Np, gahbless that character viewer thing you can put in the mac menu bar ๐Ÿ˜„

Something fucked up my system readline. Why shared libs are so important again?
