Hey fedi

You're cool

I like you

People have a lot of remarkably intense opinions on acid and databases

Anyway I'll probably just use sqlite

Sometimes I see an extremely tedious reply on here (not necessarily to me) and I just go "oh mastodon, never change (complimentary)"

Someone on bluesky wants to join fedi and they're looking for instances good for lgbt nsfw artists. I'd like to give them a few instances to look at besides just dot art so please throw your recommendations in the replies

hey fedi programmer folks, this isn't urgent but i'm going to have to store my block game's world data in some kind of database soon. do you have any recommendations? it must be a file-based database, obviously. and game data doesn't usually neatly conform to the boring numbered rows with named columns table design of traditional databases for websites and stuff

i think ideally i'd just be able to store raw binary data

Wait, you're telling me Carmen Sandiego is supposed to be a villain?

That doesn't sound right

Is there any good resource on number of active accounts on fedi as a whole rather than mastodon specifically?

Been thinking about what noise I wanna use to generate the world in my block game. Perlin/simplex noise is obvious but you can't seed it and I want areas that are relatively flat for generating towns and villages. Not sure what to do about that

Working on this block game is the most fun I've had with gamedev in years

people who code with AI are a joke and if you fit that descriptor I need you to understand that all of us actual programmers are making fun of you
