re: thinking about explaining things 

@BestGirlGrace I've been practicing adapting to the audience so to say, and it is a pain, especially when the knowledge gap is so wide at times

And yes, it means you kinda need to establish the size of that knowledge gap before you get into the meat of the explanation, which can suck at times

@kat @jaycie the only times I've seen things end up fucked forever and require a rewrite is on the level of "deciding to make a flash game mid-2020"

just be a bit careful with your foundational blocks (literally just check if whoever made it has interest in it, and google around) and you'll be fine

@kat @jaycie you won't pretty much ever need to throw everything out, but "I did something wrong early on" is pretty much a guarantee, no matter how much experience you have, so I'd say, try to not worry about it

@kat @jaycie you pretty much never *have* to start over from scratch, you might just want to rewrite stuff eventually

Also, uh, don't make a full game your first project, fiddle with an engine and then join a game jam or something

for fun, while debugging this lib we pay out of the ass for at work, I decided to look at the license keys

It's converted from base 64, then you XOR it all with a secret byte, then you XOR everything with the first byte

if you know how XOR works, it means you end up doing

array[i] ^ 0xCA ^ array[0] ^ 0xCA

or, simplified

array[i] ^ array[0]

whoops

ooh, apparently integrated intel GPUs support GPU virtualization, it's called GVT-g

I should build a new small intel system to use as a server, replace my tiny celeron box

I want something with an UHD 630 for that fixed function HEVC 10-bit encoding and decoding + tonemapping

@Jnetwork could also be federation hiccups - toots will be placed in the timeline at the top when your instance gets it, even if it's been stuck in sidekiq
