hello, I am burdock
I exist in meatspace around NYC

I export my obsidian notebook on http/3 at:
https://ns.agency

you can often find me at HackManhattan

right now I'm working on creating the universe:
https://github.com/dwbrite/void-rs
this is like The Game, but instead of going "ah dang it I lost" you go "oh, we're still platforming Nazis..."

I can see how that might happen

I've cancelled claude. Astra is leagues better than fable and deepseek flash is leagues better than opus.

the battery is a static value, and the "gain knob" here is used as an inverter on the battery, which leads into the "clamp" which uses that value's min and max -- bc angular velocity can be +/-

and _that_ leads to the "attenuator" which is just division for velocity / max velocity, to give you a %

if anyone's curious what the symbols are:
G is for the GHK algorithm, to turn (input) events into interpolated samples. Then we take the G(x) and G(y) and turn it into a polar coord, then the circle-y boi next to it is "angular velocity" which spits out radians/s, then low-pass to block some bs

ok, but what if we slapped a low pass filter in front of the joystick's angular velocity, clamped it to ~160 RPM, mapped that to the frequency of a sine wave, and then output _that_ to the speaker?

that would be a pretty cool tech demo

I really loved LittleBigPlanet, but wished there was more we could do with analog logic :3

can I talk about the gametank?

(I put Rust on a novel 6502-based console)

getting people to understand that authentication happens _at your PDS_ is certainly a challenge.

I've been using "atproto account", but it doesn't quite roll off the tongue 😅

do you feel like you're getting good use out of the "diy DSL" powers? that's the part that intrigues me the most ^^

how are you liking fennel so far? I've considered similar lisp-y tech in my games, but didn't want to commit to Lua 😅
