this is a particularly funny year for the "press should cover indies more" convo to pop up again because as far as I can tell we've reached a point where press coverage has zero effect on sales anymore so idk, be free indies, worry about things that actually matter like steam nextfest placement

i know it's obnoxious for younger people to see the middle aged get told how old something old is and say "alas i am but dust"-
if you're under 25 or so, you must understand: the experience is exactly like if tomorrow someone told you "COVID was fifteen years ago", and it was true

The path back from burnout is so much longer than you can anticipate, and it gets harder the more it happens. Learning to be patient and kinder to myself has been a big process, and a year and a half later I'm still not back to where I once was.

"Dogs don't bark at parked cars" is an all-time great line
"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

I'm not sure whether to say this because I'm afraid people will think it's a joke. But.
I keep thinking that if the US invades Venezuela, almost immediately on getting in it will try to set up camps and "deport" people from America for indefinite imprisonment there. It will be Camp X-Ray again

This is my first time implementing class inheritance via vtables (in my tiny Kotlin runtime).
A::foo() vs B::foo() get resolved through vtables in the generated code if they cannot be resolved statically. Seeing it work correctly is more satisfying than it should be.
