I tend to lurk just because I have nothing to add to the conversation lol

Pixelorama is completely free and is a pretty good alternative to Aseprite

Basically smaller file sizes than JPEG at the same quality and it also automatically loads a lower quality version of the image before it loads a higher quality version instead of loading it pixel by pixel like an image would normally load. Google refuses to implement this tech into Chrome because they have their own avif format, which isn’t bad but significantly outclassed by JPEG-XL in nearly every conceivable metric. Mozilla also isn’t putting JPEG-XL into Firefox for whatever reason. If you want more detail, here’s an eight minute video about it.

It’s completely bonkers that JPEG-XL is as good as it is and no one wants to actually implement it into web browsers

Just when I forgot about it

I’m currently making an Astro theme to make static sites way easier and then after that I’m probably going back to working on the API viewer I was making with Svelte, Tauri, and Rust. (Think of something like Postman but way less bloated.) I mainly just need to finish the settings and redo the data input form and then it should be ready for a first release (but it’ll still obviously be far from finished.)

I sadly don’t have any programming friends

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

Same. Feels like employers refuse to hire anyone.

I mainly make game reviews and I often get comments shocked at how I only have 600 subs, so go check me out if you have the time. I just made an hour long video about Pokemon Crystal a few weeks ago lol.

Just bought my first Tamagatchi in 2023 lol

Nitro rad is legit

I was on world but people are assholes and kept ddos-ing it and heard lemm.ee was pretty good. Can confirm lemm.ee is pretty good. Bonus: beehaw doesn’t defederate lemm.ee and their communities are pretty cool.

Knew this was a thing on mastodon but not Lemmy lol

I appreciate World’s transparency but it’s been a lot nicer on lemm.ee for me. Not having a way to kill time when I need to isn’t the end of the world but definitely annoying.

For some reason everyone in my class (I am no longer in school) had a competition to see who could get to a pyramid in a video game the fastest and for some reason I chose Sonic Unleashed and somehow won
