The only thing that worked for me was having a kid. He wakes up early every day, so I have no choice. Taking care of him is so taxing, being sleep deprived isn't on the table.

Still scrobbling since 2008. A lot of smaller artists used to upload their music to last.fm, and I found a lot of gems there (specifically in the swedish bitpop scene).

Very cool! I have one non-technical friend who occasionally wants to play HOMM, and she often has issues getting it working (specifically non-hd, non-hota on intel mac). This could be a remedy.

I love this... I haven't had the courage to "spend" my sticker collection on my current laptop, as they obviously don't last forever. A solution could be to photograph the old cover, and print it as a full-size sticker

Thanks for trying it! This is actually intentional, to make the game playable in the "end-game" where you level up ~every second :-)

It's a nice thought. If an idea could be encoded... that each persons idea of a concept, viewed in the right dimensionality, has a rough, similar outline. At least, that's my interpretation of your idea. :-) Your comment either t

IQ, along with shadertoy and hg_sdf are my learning resources for raymarching. A great way to get into demoscene production.

>The most important thing in blogging is to get something simple that will not get the way of you actually writing. Yes! I find the easiest way for me is to just open a new tab in my code editor and typing. Exif is a real gotcha. I'

Looks nice and minimal as well. Love the look of your blog! The markdown2 package includes an option for syntax highlighting. You need to bring your own css though.
