I just put out a new version of libretro.py! pypi.org/project/libr... For all your retro game testing needs. #retrogaming #emudev #libretro #retroarch

@edzitron.com I find your relentless curiosity and your low tolerance for bullshit inspiring.

@chocolatey.org Chocolatey repo's down despite the status page saying otherwise. status.chocolatey.org I can't update my packages!

I was telling my mother about what I'm doing today, and I mentioned that I'm working on getting #webrtc nodes to talk to each other. She described it as like marriage counseling for computers...is she wrong? 🤪 #webdev #networks

Amazing new age verification procedure requires no government ID, no credit card numbers, no photography import { setTimeout } from 'node:timers/promises' const verifyAge = async () => { await setTimeout(568_036_800_000) return true }

Any #webdev peeps who use #nodejs #vitest or #fastify? I'm blocked on a weird issue with testing an `async` function, and it's driving me nuts. Details at the link. stackoverflow.com/questions/79...

I am #zettelkasten -ing the *shit* out of my notes. Think lots of little notes that link to each other, rather than big flat files with walls of text. Man, if I'd only known about this in college... #productivity #adhd #obsidian

I just implemented direct boot support for DSiWare games in melonDS DS! Works like a charm. It'll be in the next release. #retrogaming #nintendo #nds #retroarch #libretro

Now that this LAN netplay PR for melonDS DS is finally merged github.com/JesseTG/melo... (thanks, Bernardo!), we're getting close to a 1.2.0 release! Just wanna fix some bugs first. #retrogaming #emudev #gamedev #buildinpublic #opensource #nintendods #libretro #retroarch

Reposting is so much easier than posting

I've lived on an island in or near #NYC my entire life. I've never known anything other than wet summers, increasingly warm winters, and the occasional scraps when someone else gets hit by a hurricane or cold snap. At least the wildlife isn't terrifying. (Maybe excluding rats in New York.)

Does anyone else feel like they're spending so much time writing about how great they are that they're neglecting what actually make them great? Or is it just me? #layoffs #unemployed

Finally getting around to writing a doc page for melonDS DS. Important because the author of this melonDS DS PR github.com/JesseTG/melo... provided a great writeup on LAN netplay...but the #libretro docsite is a better home for it. #retrogaming #opensource #buildinpublic

To the spammers in my inbox: thank you, but - I'm fine with what's in my pants. - Elon, I don't need solar panels today. Don't you have 17 companies to run? - I don't have an account with Chase. - I haven't used RoundUp in years. - My cholesterol is good. - I've had 5 "last chances" already.

Oh, all right. I'm Jesse, a software engineer who loves #gaming and the tech underneath it! Right now I contribute to #libretro to recreate the experience of #retrogames. I'm also looking for work! You got some legacy code to clean up, I'm your guy. #promosky

Hi, sudden influx of new followers! Who are you and where did you come from? If knew you were coming, I'd have set out a pot of coffee for you.

Words that I live by.

Not a fan of having #ai imposed on me to make the line go up, but #github #copilot _did_ correctly tell me how to disable it on my feed. Maybe I should keep an open mind? Haven't figured out a good way to use it beyond spicy autocomplete, though. Thoughts?

Repost this if you don't find it interesting.

too many people see video games as products and not as culture everyone would appreciate games more if they followed who is creating them instead of only following IPs real life “lore” is infinitely more interesting than fictional lore and it also helps you better understand the fictional lore too
