Computer programmer, sesquipedalianist, and dilettante. Busy making video games and software things that aren’t video games. I really like plushies. He/him.
Moving because other servers are starting to defederate mastodon.social due to inadequate moderation.
This is good and normal. I hope the defederations will prompt mastodon.social to improve their moderation and/or consider hosting fewer users so that moderation becomes manageable.
I'm going to move to a new account @whimsy shortly, so if you see a follow from that account, it's me.
You should start following the new account automatically once I'm done.

If you're into jelly physics, games, Walaber has published one of the best video tutorials on how to create a soft-body simulation. πŸš—

@Norgg space hello!
@llamasoft_ox It's great to see you here!
Here's an old toot you might enjoy https://mastodon.social/@danielcassidy/108461021517483797
I wanted to make something beautiful so I've been working on a simulation of herding sheep πŸ‘. Lots of sheep. Give a follow for progress...eventually. :)

Sometimes I think about people who feel that some people are "too old" to not be homophobic/transphobic/etc...the whole "they grew up in a different time" thing

Then I think of my mom who grew up in rural Kentucky, born in the 50s, didn't use a toilet until middle school because her home had no running water, never really experienced a decent city until college...

This last week she visited and was excitedly telling me about a book she read where a character gets gender affirming surgery and telling me all the details about how they do that these days (retired nurse) and how much happier trans people must be than back in her day and getting mildly disappointed when she found out I already knew all of this...it was extremely sweet. Any time she learns something about LGBT people she wants to tell me about it.

So I don't tolerate excuses about it being age. It's about how you see and treat others. And if you have a good heart and empathy you can figure out the queer details from there. They may not all be as educated on LGBT issues but if their heart is in the right place they can and will figure the rest out. The hateful won't dream of doing that.

Eventually one day I am going to have the time and energy to make more video games
Thinking about the widespread and enduring meme that mice eat cheese and how weird it is.
As if mice in the wild run little dairy farms or something.
