Changed my font file (TTF format) to be "installable" instead of "restricted", in order to work in IE11 (http://carnage-melon.tom7.org/embed/)

Made pixel art images bigger instead of using "image-rendering: pixelated;" (not very supported before 2020)

The dryads got my homie and aged him up so they could take advantage of him. At least now he can become a knight 🫩 just clocked a guy for laughing at his lack of clothes and made him take him to his house to have his daughter make clothes for him. Unintentionally effortlessly seducing her now. That poor schmuck, NEVER laugh at a random large naked man walking through your town he will take everything

Abstractions in programming promise to create efficiency (mostly for the programmer, but still), but it only creates efficiency in the actual program when you reuse code in functions instead of copy-pasting it over and over (one of the purposes of functions) which results in less total code in the executable file.

But this doesn't matter in object-oriented programming anyway, because the objects have overhead in code size, memory usage and computation time, that makes the code automatically much less efficient anyway.

Abstractions also promise to make code readable, but it doesn't make the actual working CODE more readable, it just makes the abstractions more readable. So even if it's easily readable, you won't understand the interesting parts anyway.

When abstractions aren't used primarily for code reuse, but instead to hide meaning, the program will grow more and more inefficient. Because you stop reading the actual code and only read the abstractions.

And then you won't know about what actually happens anymore underneath the abstractions anymore. Now those things can be as efficient as they want without you knowing about it. And it tends to grow more inefficient and not the other way, because of our large RAM sizes and CPU speeds today.

This is why Notepad is slower today instead of faster. It's not because of slow hardware or incompetent programmers, it's computer bureaucracy (probably heavily influenced by the organizational bureaucracy at Microsoft).

So, abstractions probably won't create programmer efficiency either, because abstractions lead to less understanding of the actual program, which leads to computer bureaucracy, which is a much bigger problem to handle than just editing code.

So... I remove all object-orientation and unnecessary abstractions in my code, and just use functions to prevent too much code reuse. All other structure is in comments so they don't fill up the executable (like objects and functions does, no matter how efficient your language claims to optimize those)

The point of all this is: Don't create more technology to handle your technology, that will leave no space for art.

I'm fascinated by the Phong lighting model. Especially when you use it to put way too realistic lighting on non-realistic objects.

Yeah, I've put that videogame I was working on on hold for the time being--i'm going to build my comics buffer up to cover the rest of the year, and THEN I'll start animating my game. >:o

starting to learn enough about 3D graphics in general and the library three.js in particular to be able to rewrite it into my own library!

i started by removing all code in the library that i didn't use. now i'm left with the parts i actually use. but minimalism isn't a goal in itself, so now i'm not removing code anymore but instead rewriting it to be more efficient for my purposes.

What if you, instead of spending time on marketing your creative work, put that time into improving the work so it can become good enough for people to actually be interested in it?

perhaps then we would have the best work become the most popular instead of the ones with the biggest marketing campaigns.

Got knocked off my feet by this song (”Punk” by GO!GO!7188). Listened to them a lot 5-10 years ago and just re-realized the greatness of the band in general, and of Yumi Nakashima’s songwriting (and guitar playing!) in particular. https://youtube.com/watch?v=f_2MAe5wnSY

Thanks! I’ve taken a brief look at your website (will look more later – I have a lot to get done today!) I love the home movies. I’ve put some up on YouTube, myself. Thought I’d show you one I did when our boys were kids. Nothing to do with our website, but the following is one I put up for our website channel, originally, from when our sons were young. Now on another channel: https://youtu.be/pCdRtCFSH2k

Incredible! As fellow makers of silly movies, we know the time it takes (And with kids? Wow!) balancing fun with ambition. From the writing and musical numbers to the visual effects and convincing acting (Dulcinea rejection scene!) we loved the creativity and heart. Sure is hard growing up. Such a sweet way to preserve a moment in time—something the kids will cherish (or cringe at haha) now. Thanks for sharing!
