BEHOLD, MY NEW LOOK!!!
(new model artist is , she made me so cute!!)
Given my heart issues aren’t getting any better I think it’s best if I completely disengage from the drama as much as possible.
This means I’ll stop providing Inochi2D support outside of the official discord for the time being.
My health is more important.
My discord server is saying there’s something wrong with me squeezing lemons into my mouth
I just love lemons ok? The sour makes me feel alive
For reference; the reason I’m writing a SuperH backend for LLVM is because I’m reviving an old game dev project of mine. A foxgirl yuri metroidvania. Already working on hiring artists, etc.
So that I can make a vertical slice to show to publishers.
Some day my hubris will be my downfall, but it wasn’t today
I plan to develop the game for both PC and Dreamcast using my custom Kitsunemimi engine. Same as I’ve used in eg. The Inochi2D comiket project.
Just upgraded significantly and with a Dreamcast backend.
The game will heavily use deterministic procedural elements to handle things like sound, the environment, etc. So that the game can feasibly run with the Dreamcast’s measily 16 MB of memory. It will NOT use any generative ai bs though.
Slightly worried about developing type 2 diabetes; Been working on losing weight and it's slowly starting to go in the right direction. Some family members have diabetes, hence I worry.
Given the region I live in my vote didn’t amount to much, but I voted SF (Socialist party)
Was kinda surprised to see that the communist party still exists
Went and voted, municipal election is today in Denmark
he's right and he should say it
C++ is for little worms
correction: centre-left poised to lose to the left like SF and Enhedslisten
The social democrats at this point are more centre right if anything, so of course left leaning voters will move further left.
I have not slept well last night so I think I’ll go get some rest.
DLang is for lesbian foxgirls
Rust girls and dlang girls should just kiss it out—
C++ is for little worms
apparently cloudflare is having a case of the ouchies lol
Funny how I keep getting advertisements for crypto scams
It’s either “some AI startup wants to work with you!!!” Or “check out this crypto scam!!!”
The most awkward thing I’ve experienced is probably people telling me that they’ve masturbated to pictures of me.
I suppose it’s a compliment but uhhh, still kinda awkward
Like, thank you I guess? Please keep it to yourself next time
One time a guy told me he had a dream where he railed me and yeah
I have no idea what to do with information like this
I feel people who only speak English has far too high expectations for non-native speakers… I’d say that I’m OK at english, but I still to this day learn words and meanings I didn’t know before. And I speak 4 languages so it’s easy for me to screw up wording something.
I ended up sparking a horse girl piss hrt discussion on a discord and I’m not sure any amount of context would make that sound any better
Cursed thought hit me; in the past Estradiol replacement therapy was made of female horse urine.
Does that mean in the uma musume universe trans girls took female horse-girl piss pills?
The more I think about uma musume’s premise the more cursed it gets
This usually what being friends with me ends up being like, you can’t escape my cursed intrusive thoughts

I had an incredibly cursed idea for how one could implement tiler like OIT on GPUs that can’t do fragment shader interlock and I hate it
Basically: draw the game at double resolution, use Z depth of texel to determine one of 4 pixels in a square to write to, per real texel.
Then sample the resulting texture to get the OITed output
How many kidneys do I have to sell to get my favourite jp artists to draw my foxgirl—
If it has a processor and it doesn’t run dlang then I will MAKE it run dlang, whether it wants to or not.
Dragging your poor Motorola 68000 into 2025, your quaint MIPS? It will be conquered, your random Japanese 8 bit cpu? It’s next 🦊
Who needs a midlife crisis when I could get my Amiga 500 to display hello world but written in D !!
Some day my hubris will be my downfall, but it wasn’t today
Seriously considering and planning writing a SuperH backend for LLVM, I want to return to gamedev with my old projects and I want to make my engine compatible with both DC and PC, and GCC is such a nightmare.
So I guess I'll give it a shot.
Finally got around to watching 16-bit Sensation: Another Layer, pretty good anime ngl
Also I know far too much about old computers for my own good, including the fact that I can read the x86 assembly shown on screen
and the slightly mangled C++...
At least the C++ code mostly seems to use Win32 API that actually exists, though most of what I saw was just event loop code with a giant switch statement and some other shenanigans.
A super cluster of NEC PC-9801ES(+)'s is really funny though
The Godot patch notes made me laugh, so I added sound effects to it

If I were to give my business a motto it would be “Make software for people, not machines”
Today is one of those days where I’ve gotten nothing productive done, my knee hurts, there’s panties piled up underneath my bed (thanks Ponko) and I have a headache
yknow, one of those days
Shit shit shit.
Difficult realization that we're financially at our limit. I need work yesterday to support my wife and I. At this point, anything goes. Full time, part time, you pay and I code for you.
I'm a 20+ year pro software/gamedev in "Fake London" Canada

Been feeling really exhausted all week and not sure why exactly. I’ve had trouble sleeping properly which is definitely a factor, but I’m not sure if it’s just that.
Even adhd meds don’t seem to really help me get anything done…
It’s like whenever I go over to my computer to do anything i just immediately feel like I need a nap, i go to bed to rest my head and suddenly I have energy enough to get out of bed again.
And it’s not just being at my pc that makes me feel exhausted, it’s doing anything really.
Seriously considering and planning writing a SuperH backend for LLVM, I want to return to gamedev with my old projects and I want to make my engine compatible with both DC and PC, and GCC is such a nightmare.
So I guess I'll give it a shot.
Been fighting with gcc build scripts for 9 hours now.
My brain is fried.
I’m becoming a bit of a certified GCC hater, god it’s a pain to get anything done with it
Update: they’re thankfully safe.
I think I’ll take the day off
I didn’t expect today to be a day where I might lose another friend to suicide. I really hope they’re ok…

I’m at this point strongly considering just writing a SuperH backend for LLVM, the instruction set is relatively small so might be feasible for me

my hate for the gcc codebase structure burns with the fury of a million suns
Replied to
Also if I as someone with asthma and long covid making me frequently be out of breath can wear a FFP3 mask then so can you
Hey can yall motherfuckers get unstuck from your feelings about the year 2020 already and start doing the right thing and masking up, at least around people who are vulnerable, disabled, and or already struggling with long covid? Cause I'm sick of people making my friends sick.
I don’t need artificial intelligence, I got genuine stupidity 😎
I burnt my hand in an oven a week ago, and almost dislocated my foot a few days ago; I can make the joke 🥲
Wait… humans are just monkeys with less fur
Does that mean everyone is technically a furry?
I feel like I’m in a race against time at this point, will I achieve my goals or will my body give out for good from all of the stress the past few years worth of drama has caused me?
Only one way to find out I guess…
Some days it really does feel like my body just wants to shut down for good, it’s not a fun experience to be honest.
I’m pretty certain that it’s slowly killing me, but there’s also nothing I can do about it so.
One thing I wanna do in inochi creator with the new UI rewrite is to move the rendering of the model/puppet to a seperate thread. will need some synchronisation in places, but should allow me to make the UI far more responsive.
Couldn’t do that with the old OpenGL based renderer, so will be exciting to write a properly separated renderer that can function on a seperate thread.
The heart issues I’m dealing with are kinda affecting my work in that the spikes in heart rate gives me headaches. So I think my productivity will be kinda a mess for a while…
I might’ve been a bit too optimistic when it comes to heart issues thing. Did measurements today and it’s still elevated, even reaching 120 bpm
orz
Given one of the forks of Inochi2D seems to he heavily investing in AI/LLM integration, just going to put it on the record that Inochi2D itself will never feature such things.
I think the current wave of LLMs and GenAI is counter to the creative process; and I make software for people.
Honestly, the impending AI bubble burst is going to mainly affect individuals, not the massive corporations participating in it.
Not sure if my own business will survive that recession…
Been feeling a bit stressed the past few days, feeling a bit overwhelmed by some parts of Inochi Session that might require me to redo the ui framework… again…
Specifically, when I started the ui retooling I was using OpenGL; now I’m using Niobium and the entire window-renderer abstraction could really use a complete overhaul so that I can properly add support for popovers and such…
At least with niobium I can stop re-creating gpu buffers and textures for every sub-window that gets opened.
I’m frankly quite tempted to just use the imgui drawlist then implement my own DOM ontop
Thinking about how well optimised fixed point 128 bit decimal numbers could get. Fixed point numbers do have the advantage that they don’t have the same level of value drift that floating point does.
Downside is that anything above 64-bit would need to be emulated relatively expensively.
Maybe it would be possible to optimise them via SIMD? Not sure.
Eating lead, asbestos, uranium-235 and PFAS to unlock the super power of extreme lung and bone pain
I think an important social skill a lot of programmers lack is the ability to know when ”winning” a discussion doesn’t matter.
If someone is intentionally trying to get you riled up, the conversation didn’t matter to begin with.
I think this is to some extent the root of the tribalism in software engineering. I like dlang, I tease people for fun with it; but I also know that it isn’t for everyone. Me using DLang for my projects is just as “correct” as someone deciding to use Rust for theirs.
Gotta remember that something subjective can never be objectively ”correct“.
I ended up spending 14 hours straight playing HSR today, really liking this update so far.
That was interesting, honestly not sure how I feel about it, it’s kinda bittersweet.
Going to be interesting to see how they’ll wrap up the Amphoreus arc in Honkai Star Rail. There’s been a lot of negative talk about Cyrene, but I think people might’ve slightly missed the point of her
At what point do we go from microcomputers to picocomputers? 🤔
I hope some day the immigration requirements in Japan loosen up a little, i’d love to live closer to friends I have there, but the bureaucracy is a nightmare.
Every time I hear spoken Dutch my brain tries to parse it as Danish and it’s very confusing lol
After having been stabbed in the back more times than I care to count the past 2 years I really struggle trusting people nowadays.
Working on regaining my trust in people again though, but I’d lie if I said it didn’t sting.
Weirdly enough I don’t really hate any of the people who broke my trust. It hurts that they broke my trust, but I just don’t have it in me to hate any of them. At the time they probably thought it was the right thing to do.
Either way, this thread is not a response to anything in particular, just something I was thinking about.
Update on the heart thing I guess; overall it's doing better but I still relatively frequently have an above 110 BPM resting heart rate. I've removed the worst stress factors from my life, but factors outside of my control still cause stress.
Godot users of Denmark 🇩🇰 (and Malmö 🇸🇪), u̶n̶i̶t̶e̶ gather round!
I just created a Discord server for the local community so we can find each other.
It might lead to organizing some #GodotEngine meetups in Copenhagen or other localities, or team up for IRL game jams.

Kinda cute how people still occasionally buy my meowing synth VST plugin from time to time, I should really update it at some point.
Really want to add an optional formant filter to it, to improve the quality of the meow it produces

Mei and Kiana should just kiss it out tbh, the angst is so thick you could slice through it with a butter knife
Heyo! I’m back, took a little break this week to rest up given how hard I’ve been pushing myself.
Ended up binging through Honkai Impact 3rd’s story lol
Game is incredibly gay, it’s great.
But damn, these lesbians have been through some shit

Am I the only one experiencing memory leaks on macOS Tahoe from Synergy? It appears any remote mouse control right now leaks massive amounts of memory, especially with Metal applications for me.
Additionally it seems metal drawables leak internally too…
If you’re on macOS Tahoe and want to check, run any app from the terminal with OBJC_DEBUG_MISSING_POOLS=YES set as an environment variable.
Ponko every time I cook pizza
She can’t have any, but she still wants it. If stares could kill I’d be dead 10 times over
GObject and GType is a cruel prank the GTK developers are pulling on everyone.
I feel old
Windows 7 (2009) is now as old as Windows NT (1993) was when Windows 7 was released.
I went to the other side of the country today to pick up a “new” 4U rack server. got a really good price on it
But I’m so exhausted after 7 hours of travel
Creating software is 60% coding, 40% social skills. You can’t make good software if you don’t care about the squishy humans on the other end. Anti-social software tends to be hostile to the end user, obtuse and a nightmare to use.
Still dealing with heart stuff but overall things are slowly getting better.
Stupid question but why is magic the gathering becoming the Fortnite of card games? feels a bit soulless to me.
This general trend of games just becoming giant mismashes of intellectual property with little to no creative world building of their own is sad.
I guess niobium is ready for game dev now… there’s no mesh shading but for what I usually do with the traditional render pipeline, it should be ready.
I guess I should make something with it at some point…
A thing that frustrates me a little is people outsourcing their thinking to large language models. There’s this one guy in the D community who keeps posting links to grok.
I don’t want to discuss technical topics with your llm, it’s a waste of my time.
It’s the ドジっ子 curse

Whoever decided on the schema for the Vulkan registry should feel ashamed for the monstrosity they’ve brought into this world
Been seeing quite a few posts about a Pokémon game on my tl today. i assume a new one released.
I wish I had it in me to be excited about playing games anymore. I enjoy them but, I feel like I’ve lost that excitement and joy I had with them as a kid.
It’s nice to see that other people still have that kind of excitement for games. Maybe I’ll find it again eventually myself.
This but leaded solder
keep thinking about all the lead in protein powder. every 50 years or so we gotta have national lead poisoning events. to keep america full of yummy lead.
Had a kinda mixed day today, good things have happened but PTSD decided to go brr for no reason
Hopefully I’ll get more done tomorrow
Been doing my best to remove sources of stress from my life the past few days.
It seems to slowly be working, so that’s good. At least my Apple Watch has recorded more time where my heart isn’t going at 110+ bpm
Spent far too long today tracking down a memory leak for it to not be in my code
Pain
kyoob go spinny
Also spent far too long fixing my orthographic and perspective projection code
This is 2 weeks of work… writing a custom graphics api will always be a massive undertaking.
One of the weirder things I’m working on, is making a shader compiler that takes dlang code and spits out a form of SPIR-V I call NIR (basically spir-v but with some restrictions lifted)
Thankfully the reference D compiler frontend can be used as a library so it shouldnt be too hard.
Things have been relatively quiet the past few days, I’ve kinda needed that for the past while.
Work is still ongoing on Inochi2D, but pacing myself a bit slower for now so that I dont end up causing myself more stress with work.
Been taking small steps to reduce the stress in my life the past few days. Seems to be slowly working.
Unleashing my inner mountain goat in this game, if it has geometry I’ll climb it
Learning from my doctor that my heart isn’t doing well has kind of reopened my eyes to my own mortality. Which to some extent probably isn’t helping.
yeah not sure this is going to get better anytime soon…
I’ve already spent $5 to look cute in this game, im a lost cause when it comes to MMOs
you don’t want to know how much I’ve spent on FFXIV cosmetics over the years
Got some bad news from my doctor today; my heart rate has basically been constantly elevated for like a year. If the stress that I’m constantly being put under continues like this I might need to put basically everything on hiatus for my health sake
I’ve joked before about it slowly destroying me but I guess I jinxed myself there. Let’s hope I finish reducing the bus factor **before** I keel over.
It should be illegal to eat chicken around a foxgirl and not giving her any
Vampire doctor sampling my blood like a fine wine: “mmmm yes vitamin d deficient”
Right now im at least set to be able to work on Inochi2D for the rest of the year; but I’m still a bit worried about after that. I have 4K euro in savings now thanks to finishing off my commitments to NLNet.
I hope all my hard work to fix up the foundations of creator and session will be worth it
The more of this gets done the easier it’ll become to build and work on Inochi Session and Inochi Creator for people. I didn’t start selling creator with the plan to make it impossible to compile; the price tag is purely there to make further development financially possible.
If creator can break even then I’m happy. If it earns me a little profit I invest it back into Inochi2D.
Artist got back today to me with this new chibi Ada asset; going to make her cling to drag-and-drop UI elements in Inochi Creator.
Aimed to have triangle drawing today; but I’m def still sick rn. This nausea is kicking my butt

I think I want to enter Ludum Dare with niobium at some point. Should be a great way to battle test the api
In other words, if you let me, I will fix your game’s code and submit the fix back upstream and that’s a threat.
It also means play sessions with me may randomly pause for a day as I fix someone else’s code—
I’m the kind of weirdo who plays modded terraria with a friend, encounter a game breaking bug, then while in the call develop a patch for the mod and submit a pull request.
My friend was kinda clueless about what any of the code did, but I fixed it and we beat the boss.
