it is difficult to overstate what a comprehensive dunderhead Why from Bluesky, vibecoding wunderkind, formerly of various cryptocurrency projects and current neoreactionary VibeCamp habitue, truly is

Why @why.bsky.team Entering day four of "no phone because it broke and I can't get to an apple store”, AMA I left it outside in the sun and when I went to pick it up, it was saying “temperature too high! let phone cool down before using again”, and then within a few hours it was gone Okay, so full transparency. I did dip it in a pool after it said it was too hot. I was told not to do that before doing so, but my hubris said "nah these things are waterproof" and into the swim it went. I go in the pool when | want to cool down, why can't my phone?

@GroupNebula563 yeah, no kidding. you should see the things this dude has been saying RECENTLY. he openly admitted to using claude for 99% of his work on bluesky the other day, and pulled the whole "you guys just don't want to accept the future" card.

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar

oh ok i was wondering about that. got pinged by two accounts from the domain with the same post within 50 minutes of each other earlier today. good to know.

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

the original plan for the stream last night was to use my actual N64, but the original controllers put my thumb in pain i didnt think was possible. i switched to the Analogue3D like 20 minutes in and it was so much better with the 8bitdo controller

spawnofzap OP ,
@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar

i still love the original stuff, but the analogue was much more enjoyable for a stream.

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

i'm not canadian and only heard about Reboot like two years ago, but it's really awesome that there's a company that really just went "yeah we'll pay for the ludicrously expensive components you need to repair obscure proprietary drives to read master tapes for the first computer animated show that not many people even know about"
like actually how cool is that

spawnofzap OP ,
@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar

and those tapes were falling apart too, i'd bet that if the preservation efforts started like a year or three later those tapes could have been lost

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

it feels weird to post so many times in a short window, but if i try spacing my posts apart i'll forget what i was thinking about when i actually wanted to post

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

i think i'll stream more mario 64 tonight if i have the time. i just wont bother trying to get the chat overlay working this time, the plugin i need refuses to compile :/

spawnofzap OP ,
@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar

and streamlabs doesnt offer a linux plugin of their own :(

spawnofzap OP ,
@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar

@GroupNebula563 yeah, i'm aware of the issues with streamlabs. i really wanna stop using them and honestly this seems like a good excuse

spawnofzap OP ,
@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar

@GroupNebula563 i use normal OBS too, just occasionally with the streamlabs resources attached for some of the features they offer. gonna get rid of those, though.

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

so many artists i enjoy are really just releasing bangers this year i guess

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

ok nevermind the plugin doesn't build properly because a VLC thing can't verify. whatever, i'll just stream without a chat overlay i guess

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

oh my god this build is taking forever. almost done i think

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

ok i think i figured out the issue, just building the plugin for OBS rq

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

ok im running the stream but still troubleshooting. join in if you want, i'm playing (or will be, at least) N64 games

spawnofzap OP ,
@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar

@GroupNebula563 oooh, i'll have to look into that! any instances you know of that support it?

spawnofzap OP ,
@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar

@GroupNebula563 gamers' tavern caught my eye, and they support live streams. very tempting...

spawnofzap OP ,
@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar

@GroupNebula563 looks like the space limit is 30 gigs. pretty good, actually

spawnofzap OP ,

aw man, discord lowered how many orbs you get from video quests. it isn't worth it for free nitro anymore :(

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

ok im just gonna make a thread for deep rock gameplay updates since i seem to want to post about it so much

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

now that i think about it, i have a lot of games tied for first place in my list of favorites.

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random

ok so votv is great and all but i HAVE spent the past three days (outside of academics) only playing deep rock soooo

@spawnofzap@mastodon.social avatar spawnofzap , to random
