*grumble grumble* Mind altering code *grumble*

Blogging anywhere else sucks. I don't want to use a buggy Javascript implementation of an RTF text editor every time I want to write a small blog.

So hi. I'm back, unless bullshit starts up again.

Stuff I'm doing/have done

End of the month, I'm doing an aptitude test for the South African branch of this: http://42.fr

Not necessarily going in for it, I want to see what costs there will be first; and whether they'll be teaching anything I need to learn.

I'm still working at the PC shop. I plan on leaving towards September in order to pursue programming a bit more fervently. I kinda need the cash :P

During the Steam Summer Sales, I managed to buy a total of 10 games using nothing but trading cards. 11 if you count the gift copy of One Way Heroics I sent to my brother.

Speaking of that, it's a cool game. Take Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, add a liberal dose of JRPG tropes and throw in some Roguelike features and that's pretty much this game. Also has some online functionality.

It was going for $0.29 during the sales.

I pretty much freaked out during the Fallout 4 announcement at E3 and have promptly started dumping cash in a jar to save up for it (They're releasing it two days before my birthday, assuming there aren't any delays).

Jeremy and I made a Curses/Terminal based chat client in Node from scratch in about 7 hours.

I've started to want a HoloLens more than an Oculus Rift, but still want both.

I've hit a wall with that Point of Sales app I was making, mostly because of thermal receipt printer drivers, Node and cash drawers.

I've started to make a new engine based purely on OpenGL 4.x. It's more fun than fixed pipeline, that's for sure. Have also got a BSP editor in progress, and the skeleton of a voxel based "pixel art" editor I'm experimenting with.

More on that when I have pics/video.

Well that's enough out of me. I've got money to take from people who broke their computers.
