A final post for , wrapping up what I've learned about my digital self:

https://bendaubney.blog/2024/05/31/what-i-learned.html

As mentioned in the post, a humble and sincere thank you to @anniegreens for suggesting this month-long challenge in the first place. I didn't expect it to be quite so revelatory.

@sarajw @bendaubney woww these are so cool haha. I think I saw Jeff's many years ago but this is updated and super cool. Sebadoh (the band) used to have something like this too- several indie band websites have done cool stuff like this over the years and I LOVE them 😍

I don't often have to go back in a new song I'm just hearing for the first time to listen to a riff or sequence of riffs again, but I just had to do it on the LAST track of this new Nekrodawn record - it is ridiiiculous. Thx to @HailsandAles for having it on his Friday list of new releases, I would've missed it. 🔥

@mdkcore whoa yeah it does! I wonder if they based that design on this. Bobs Burgers recently did a Blade Runner parody and of course the little horse was in that too haha

@jake4480@c.im avatar

@mdkcore heck yeah- it's INCREDIBLE, even my wife loves it. It's a 2-part episode called Some Like it Bot - really a masterpiece of animation haha

Now we're cooking! Shown here is the interaction between different subsystems - I'm using the Command Pattern which makes implementation pretty straight-forward.

Next up is finding an interesting way to limit the undo feature - Any ideas?

@jake4480@c.im avatar

@smitner ways to limit the undo feature.. make it like, a bar that has to refill or something before you can do it again? I play a lot of Demon's Tier+ and your main power is like that. Or Diablo - a cool down period etc.

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@smitner exactly! Slow fillup too, it can be, just to kinda limit it. But whatever makes sense/seems fair haha

On this day, 5/31/1975 - The single, "Fight the Power" by The Isley Brothers, is released on the T-Neck record label. The song reaches #1 on the Billboard R&B chart, and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

@HailsandAles checking out a couple of these and so far the Nekrodawn one is a RIPPER

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@HailsandAles haha I have 4 more from the list queued up after this so we shall see...

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@HailsandAles yeah, I'm on the last song of Nekrodawn, but wow. It will need more listens but there's a ton of dynamics and rad riffage and such. It feels long but I never turned it off so that's big haha (it almost feels like they saved the BEST song for the last though, the title track - fuuuck haha)

@jake4480@c.im avatar

Mel Blanc was born today (May 30) in 1908. Truly the man of a thousand voices. For over 50 years, he was the voice of Looney Tunes.

Bugs Bunny is my favorite cartoon character ever, plus ALL the other great voices Mel did - Daffy, Porky, Sam, the rest. Legend.

Do other people type out entire emails and mastodon posts and card details to buy things online, and then just...... switch tabs to do something else and forget for ages that you had a thing to go back to and click send on? It's like my brain is saying "wait, stop, you might want to have time to think about this a little more before you commit" but I'm just buying more goddamned toilet paper, not committing to a home loan or something

IGN is re-running old footage before the State of Play that makes it look like the PS4 has just been re-announced 😅
I literally opened the stream and the guy on stage said "PS4" and everyone started clapping

@christian whoaaa WILD! That is REALLY cheap hahaha, I mean, you probably know what houses go for here. Wow. I'm not super DIY with home repair stuff though hahaha

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@christian wow haha and no, I love learning about stuff like this - this is wild to me. I've heard of semi similar things, things are super out of control here too, 100k- and up, yeah there are million dollar homes here in AZ for sure (they call one of my favorite areas Paradise Valley for a reason haha) - if I could afford it, I'd go near there. Amazing up there, and right near wifey's work. Right now, she has a sometimes 1.5 hour commute each way. Which really sucks. Gotta get closer but it's tough with the prices haha

jake4480,

@christian 😂 exactly. And why thank you! To you too.

@seav@en.osm.town avatar

Did you know that there is a 1:1 scale replica of the world-famous #Shibuya Scramble intersection that can be rented by TV and film productions located 80 km northwest of Tokyo in the city of #Ashikaga? The real intersection is so busy that nobody can close it down for controlled filming.

This set was notably used in the hit Japanese TV series Alice in Borderland.

@seav whoaa this is WILD!! 🤯 I've always wondered if they do things like that because shutting stuff down would be such a pain. Wow.
