Sometimes I long for the simple times when I just marathon'd Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 on the Xbox360 every single day for like three years with a then-close friend. We had every campaign down to a science on the hardest difficulty.

Good times. University was great.

the #lispGameJam is coming down to the wire! getting in last minute bug fixes and so far resisting the temptation to make any non-bugfix changes

@catch56 @grumble209 Well, apparently it can be a drag for the extremely popular musicians, too. I recall eons ago in college, they had a free concert with Sting, and apparently he'd had it at that point playing Police songs and was getting into free jazz or something like that, and all I recall is he was booed off stage for refusing to play any Police songs. It was an ugly scene, I was kind of disappointed in my fellow college students.

@ariadne

Some amateur dramatic societies have remarkable stashes of rarely used and rather old clothing.

@ai6yr okay,and in African cultures, once owls start making sounds near a certain home,our ancestors believed that the owls could bring death news to someone 😳!
Like they could be signs that someone in the family or community is soon to die,and this created much fear whenever people could hear the owls sing, especially in night hours.
Is it the same at your side?

The best way to post from Mastodon to Lemmy is like this:

Test post from Mastodon to Lemmy <- 1st line: automatically turned into a title

@Fediverse <- 2nd line: mentioning the Lemmy community

Writing this from Mastodon as a Test. Hello! <- Everything below: the post body

Lemmy automatically turns the first line/paragraph of a Mastodon toot into the title.

…and then it gets enough upvotes to appear on “all” sorted by hot, and non-followers of the sub also see it.

who up for shibao asmr

merephone news: Buttons fixed with some pull-down resisters! I can now correctly sense when one is pressed!
Though they mess with the analog sensors on a breadboard, I can correct for that.

Tomorrow I'll work on rendering some notation for the keyboard layout!

I'm updating my JPEGDEC performance info. I added the ESP32-S31 and C5. Now I need to add the P4 for completeness.

I'm currently updating my blog post about ESP32-P4 SIMD to include the updated doc shared by Espressif and note that the S31 uses the same instructions.

I updated my blog post about ESP32-P4 SIMD programming with some corrections and inclusion of the ESP32-S31:
