Pondering an approach where instead of learning how to use actual game asset creation tools, I try to make sprite sheets in Linea Sketch

I mean heck why not.

wiped out my lazy.nvim config completely along with every plugin and hey my Neovim does what I want it to again.

(admittedly, it helps being on 0.11 with new diagnostic features and easier LSP configuration)

Lua code for my Neovim config, showing symbols in gutter column where there are warnings, and the warning for the current line displayed below, with line indicating where the error is.

@ireneista VERY closely related to that last thought I’ve been chewing on the “programming is dead” meme going around lately.

Realized for the corporate cog, maybe we are getting close to that point.

Brain immediately goes “good. Let’s get back to code as a (ideally) joyous crafting community.”

which

i mean

I got bills to pay. But if I’m no longer convincingly cog-like enough to pay the bills anymore, I’m gonna make and share the code I want to see.

@ireneista No, nobody does. The best that modern tech culture can hope to do is be fertilizer for whatever comes next.

And TBH that goes for largely corporate-backed “open source” and sterilely ideological FOSS too.

Creativity, learning, joy, acceptance, and multifaceted interpretations of identity were what I saw in the first inklings of the public Web. I know the plantings of the next bloom are out there just waiting for the next thaw.

Having a little fun with Aseprite and Pyxel

pixel art that sort of looks like a cat; irregular cartoony letters that read “CAT”; in a blocky bitmap font, “You know, I’m something of a pyxel artist myself”
