New Blog Post! My reflections on my visit to Costa Rica & Nostrica:

2023 04 05 Nostrica

When the world zigs you zag.

If there are any other fellow human game devs out there on Nostr please reply to this note or reply to this note with a mention of them. Need to get some different conversations going on in my feed.

Anyone have a good reasons why boss' have health bars in games? Contemplating adding it to mine.

Currently writing a multiplayer game in Go with Ebiten engine. It's been fun to use an engine that is bare bones and doesn't provide the same frameworks as all the other engines. Additionally using Go as a game language has been great so far, but waiting to run into hiccups (GC, etc.).

As an experiment I disabled the search functionality on my browser to prevent myself from mindlessly searching for the website and promote a mindset of direct site access for what I really need. This also promotes acknowledgement of using a search engine and also provoking thought of which site do I really want to use (wikipedia, ddg, amazon, godocs, etc.) to find something. I'll see how it goes.

I have this feeling that there are very few reasons to force/auto update software. A) Security B) Protocol Changes. Otherwise if it's working for the user let them continue using it and update at their own discretion. Even with those reasons, inform rather than force.

Capi Capi 🤙

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

New Framework modules are awesome! New mainboards (AMD, Intel), new matte display, and more! Plus the new 16 model! So sick!

I need to introduce bidets to the person in charge of plumbing in Costa Rica. Could really use it here.

Nostr is my favorite way to get someone’s contact information. Use QR, NFC, or URL to look up their info and you instantly have access to their email, website, lightning address, etc.

Anyone else having issues zapping with WoS (via Damus)?

Developers should practice using 3G 90% of the time. Seems like most developers are assuming instant connections and are failing the most basic user experiences.

Found a new reason to not use Google Cloud; the interface crawls on a slow internet.

Testing UI...

Making YoSup fast on 3G also makes the code easier to deal with :)

I despise google forcing the circular favicon form in their search results. Yuck.
