Black Hot ​ @remotenemesis@hackers.town

Hey yo newbies on hackers.town and beyond. Permit me to #reintroduction myself if you will.

I have a 1 in 6 chance of detecting secret doors and a pick lock skill of 10%. I'm probably talking about old-school D&D and totally not #infosec.

I enjoy slinging code, especially C and sometimes C++ although I mostly #golang for $daygig.

Update: Currently learning #rust because I don't wanna do #golang anymore.

My stack of unfinished projects includes a Mastodon client for the #Amiga, a side-scrolling shmup on SDL2, most of the first draft of a bad fantasy novel and so many unfinished CTFs.

Currently lost in the endless beyond of #NoMansSky

Rarely lewd but a bit sketchy on CWs.

Here’s to the people who want your attention right until something better comes along.

I had a weird encounter with a shifty dude in a leather trench coat in downtown Santa Cruz, CA. He was prowling around as if hustling. He asked partner and I if we knew where to get pizza.

He gave off I wanna sell you drugs vibe after the event. But also gen x cop vibes. Is this a thing? It was odd.

Passed him walking a few minutes later near the pizza place. He didn’t have pizza.

Friendly life pro tip I'm enjoying today:

You don't have to show up to every argument you're "invited" to.

A list of rpg companies compiled by those who conflate anti-bigotry with being anti-consumer.

(For the union of the sets of bigots and consumers.)

Spend wisely.

I love #PixelArt

"no woke nonsense" is a dogwhistle, yeah?

Turns out industry best-practice isn't always the same thing as the new hotness an intermediate-level dev read on a blog.

I'm really enjoying Beyond a Steel Sky, even down to the hopelessly cheerful main character.

Sometimes, I just want to channel Darth Vader. I need to push back on this urge. There's a part of my psyche that is a wild force that wants to be focused and I need to be very f-ing careful about how I wield it.

Anger is like a wound. If untreated it can fester into bitterness. Please tend to your wounds.

My favorite era of cinema is precisely the time when Gary Oldman was every villain.

I'm loving all the new #astronomy accounts that have arrived!

Just saw the vehicle my colleague's fundraiser was able to buy for a unit in Ukraine.

This is how we win.

I made a random table of mischief.

Down with Windows only Steam games.

I might need to find a programming language I actually like.

Wow the Northman was a trip.
