Damn really cured my depression by being happy

This sounds unbelievably stupid but it's amazing to realize the amount of power you have over how other people feel, especially for being happy. It's become so standard to close up and just talk negatively about yourself that you may not realize how easily you can make someone else's day good.

Having watched the show ~20 times, I can confirm this

i just watched avatar: the last airbender for the first time. here’s my thoughts:

  1. it meets or exceeds the minimum acceptable standard

  2. funni bald kid with arrow on head lol

I'm looking for a new monitor for Christmas. Does anyone have any recommendations, specific or not?

I was thinking OLED, 1440p (both screens I have rn are 1080p) (I'm not sure my computer would do well on 4k), but I'm having a hard time finding one that looks good.

My favorite D&D trope at the table is pretending modern works exist in game, but as a different medium, like the play "ultimate mortem" (Die Hard), or Shakespeare just being canon because it's time period accurate

Take 3: it finally works... Alright with an added module which automatically launches the minecart if it arrives and the chest is empty. Actually this design sucks but it's functional enough for what I need

Success!

Worked on it more, and a random bug broke the entire working machine. It needs to be fixed

No joy quite like saying "I should make a super smelter!", starting to work on it, getting lost on the redstone, going into a test world, testing ideas, getting lost on ideas, looking up tutorials, tutorials are way too complicated or way too simple, and giving up on the idea

Got to play Helldivers 2 with one of my good friends last night and I joined his game not knowing that it was a helldive on bots

Difficulty has changed a lot since I last played helldive I guess (I was there for Malevelon Creek) but it was actually really fun. I wouldn’t go as far as saying it was easy, but there were only a few moments where we were fully overwhelmed.

I seriously love HD2. Nothing quite like taking out a base with 2 bullets and no grenades, stratagems, or stims

For Super Earth!

Talk about click bait 🤦

Yay! New scratch upda—

AI? Really? AI? They want to inspire creativity and they are including AI? How on earth will AI help kids create? If anything, it will stop the learning process because, instead of creating art or code that is creative and requires skill, kids will just write a prompt.

in case you missed it

a new position on the scratch foundation’s website went up recently, and the job description confirms that scratch 4.0 is in development. says it’ll feature a “re-imagined online community and creative ai”… whatever that means

no word of a release date, but that’s understandable. i’m actually kind of excited for this, i feel like scratch’s online community hasn’t been working super well recently so hopefully this’ll fix some of those issues. as for the ai thing… please no. so many things can go wrong with that…

Not if I commit fraud!

LEAK: According to recent polls, George Washington will not win today’s presidential election.

My braces come off in 2 days

Merry Christmas

The best project I have ever made is an assignment for world history, where I made a platformer in Scratch about Alexander Graham Bell. The code is HEAVENLY good and the gameplay is surprisingly solid. Everything works really well

Out of all of my passion projects, a school assignment is the best thing I have ever made 💀

do you guys ever start kinda laughing when your code finally works and it works great
