Apropos of nothing, if you ever need a spare programmer or some programming help, especially for a game or game-related thing, let me know. I've used Unity, C, JS, Python, Java, and UE4, but I'm also quick to learn.

P: Hi, Bill. Do you know who will cover the mill?
B: Hi Phil. I think that's Jill.
P: Jill's to fill? What if she's ill?
B: Maybe she'll have pills, or get someone else.
P: But who would shill? And would they be as skilled?
B: Maybe Gill? I don't know, Phil, just chill.
[enter Bob, stage left]
Bob: Chill, skilled Gill shills pilled, ill Jill, fills mill?
Phil & Bill, insulted & confused: …WTH, Bob?

I'm not giving my phone number to anyone I haven't met in person, but if you need something more or less immediate than Mastodon, you can try my same username on Twitter, Reddit, FB Messenger, Gmail, cybre.space, and maybe others.

Now that that's official, I should do a re-​#introductions​:
Hi, I'm Spencer! I do a bunch of things; often with programming, sometimes with games, and almost always on a computer. Check my website for some of that. On Mastodon, I'm known for my bots @doctormccoy and @domainhacker​​​, an emoji importer script, the little 🗨️ in the corner of Glitchsoc statuses, for being a geometric shape, and for the dont_at_me emoji.

this machine has like 18G of swap for some reason, so I'll be waiting here for a while

that sour moment when you realize you just ran a program that adds to an array in an infinite loop, but you were just a second too late to stop it

(I thought I'd use https://github.com/electronicarts/EASTL for this PSX project, but it's not actually designed as a drop-in replacement, so I guess I'll keep looking)

if you're writing a C++ STL alternative, I would not expect it to depend on existing STL headers

literally the only fun part about mastodon

garmadon bring back spinny text

"hbu?" is supposed to mean "how about you?" but every time I read it like a baffled "h'buuhhh????"

(that's compose+<+3, btw. ":)" and ":(" also work)

I ♥ my compose key

Why and how is @TootBot malfunctioning? looks like it's been like this for the past 2 hours

this does not include my disabling all the audio in the example I tried because rustation does not seem to really do audio (no sound in bios, crashes with the example code)
