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 )))

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 )))

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 )))

... 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) )))

how do people pronounce "ough"
like, not as a suffix of a word, but as a word itself, as a sound effect(?) )))

so I have an antinickel then
which is a coin where if I give it to someone I owe them 5 cents )))
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 )))

yeah but haxe wasn't designed with the JVM as the target, right )))
(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 )))

I wonder if more people buy graphics tablets for rhythm games than for art
probably not )))

I've said this before but a proposition 65 warning in french is quite funny
neither california or quebec requires it, but the combination of their laws results in it )))
