cube project(v0182 (EXTN (ST I'm not sure if I want to compromise on the aspect ratio or the display type compromising on the former means it looks wrong, compromising on the latter means it looks wrong in a less noticeable way
probably the display type, I imagine a small (but not too small) 4:3 LCD display is not impossible to find )))
cube project(v0182 (SPON (ST as it turns out, finding a lore accurate 4:3 colour OLED display panel that is the right size (around 10-15cm wide) is like finding a unicorn, because I'm sure pretty much no one has ever made one of those before )))
(v0182 (EXTN (ST budget is not a huge concern I could do a mini PC but then I'd need an extra microcontroller to connect the lights/cameras/antenna screens to )))
(v0182 (EXTN (QUERY speaking of which, how's the SBC market these days I don't want to use a raspberry pi and while I do kinda want x86, I think ARM will be fine )))
consumerism(v0182 (CHNG (ST unfortunately, due to "me not having $1000 to throw down the drain" reasons, I'll probably just make my own cube with a SBC (and not get a graphics card upgrade, because I don't really need one either) )))
food(v0182 (SPON (ST I am looking at pasta on my grocery store's online page for no reason and, as someone who has only recently started learning to cook, it is way cheaper than I expected ... now the flavourings will probably still cost a lot, but )))
consumerism(v0182 (SPON (ST buying a new graphics card vs buying the gabecube: reasons for the graphics card: - There are games I play that would probably benefit from one - Prices have come down to MSRP (though maybe they should go lower) - I wanna try raytracing, even though I know it's just a gimmick - I have no use for the cube - its specs are almost certainly worse than my current PC - I already have a desktop PC - I don't even have a living room TV to hook the cube up to - I already have a home server too, and that still has adequate specs - I don't have any LAN parties to go to so I can't even use it for that reasons for the gabecube: - cube conclusion: I will probably be buying the gabecube if I can afford it )))
(v0182 (SPON (ST today on "another minecraft change I never noticed": apparently 1-block-deep water is good enough to stop fall damage since 1.4.3 I was under the impression that this used to require 2 blocks, but apparently it used to require 3 )))
(v0182 (ISTM (ST instead of preparing for my ham radio exam properly, I have decided to just memorize the entire question bank (because I didn't have time) and it's proving surprisingly effective so far )))
(v0182 (XSTM (RQ ... huh, how did I not know about paredit until now this could be a game changer if I could be bothered to learn it (narrator: it couldn't) )))
food(v0182 (XSTM (ST I hate those paper/fibre containers without any lining(?) so much I got some fries from the costco food court which, those don't come with sauce so they should be fine right? well no, the containers are soggy because I put it in a thermal bag without letting all the steam out first (which tbf is my fault) at least the food itself hasn't been ruined )))
(v0182 (EXTN (ST if I had a nickel for every language I'm aware of that was designed for the JVM but can also run on javascript, I would have 2 nickels (kotlin, clojure), which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice )))
(v0182 (SPON (ST apparently people do just put lisps in anything clojure for java/JS, hy for python, fennel for lua, lisp flavored erlang for... erlang, ironscheme for .NET couldn't find one for ruby but it's probably out there somewhere )))
