Some Sketches I Did Recently Of Various Places Around My Home :)

Jousting on the noblest of steeds (aka. an office chair)

Understandable, but probably not a very good idea if you value your own well being :D

Hollow Knight is a perfect game with no glitches. It does have some bugs though (:

I beat Hollow Knight in just about 5 and a half minutes! That places me at 4th on the Speedrun.com Any% AG leaderboard :D

i watched the livestream of trump signing executive orders and answering questions from the press. here are some of the big ones + other things mentioned today:

trump declared a national emergency at the southern border + is getting the US military more involved in stopping "invasions including mass migration"

no one can declare asylum in the US

all existing appointments for people wanting to legally become US citizens are canceled

birthright citizenship (aka the 14th amendment) is now gone

ICE sweeps beginning "soon," not specifying when (though there are rumors it's starting tomorrow in sanctuary cities such as chicago)

mexican cartels are now designated "foreign terrorist organizations" and trump is not opposed to US troops entering mexico to eliminate them

he restored the death penalty for "crimes committed by illegal aliens"

biden had signed an executive order attempting to stop cops from using chokeholds or doing no-knock warrants. trump just revoked that order

25% tariffs on canada and mexico begin on feb 1 2025 — expect a lot of produce imported from mexico to get more expensive soon

tariffs on china will begin soon, not specified when

trump said he intends to take back the panama canal, did not specify when or how

january 6 insurrectionists are to be immediately released/pardoned

he pardoned the leader of the proud boys

tiktok has a 90 day extension, during which the US gov will try to buy 50% of tiktok. trump said he no longer cares that china is "spying on our young people," but he wants to buy half of tiktok so the US government "can police it a little bit, or a lot." if tiktok will not sell, it will be banned in the US again.

he claims the people of greenland want to become part of the US

he says the gulf of mexico is now to be called the "gulf of america" + denali is now to be called "mount mckinley"

the US now "only recognizes two genders, male and female"

trans women prisoners are to be housed in male prisons; gender affirming care for prisoners is gone

self-identification for gender on passports, government IDs, and social security cards is gone

all federal employees are required to work in the office five days a week, no more working from home

trump said the US is going to "pursue our manifest destiny into the stars" and plant a US flag on mars

sources on what executive orders were signed: one two three

and lastly, some things that happened during the inauguration:

the pastor who blessed the inauguration during the swearing in ceremony has already announced a new meme coin/cryptocurrency

trump did not put his hand on the bible + there are rumors the pope is going to say trump is the antichrist

the wealthiest people on the planet — the CEOs of twitter/tesla, amazon, google, meta, and even the CEO of tiktok — who own almost all communication platforms used by westerners — stood directly behind trump as he was sworn in

elon musk, the wealthiest person alive, who has been given his own vaguely-defined US government agency, did a nazi salute on stage at the presidential podium. neo-nazis are already celebrating

Handmade Tetris Devlog - Gameplay!

You read that right folks. The game's got gameplay now. Revolutionary, right?

For those of you that are new here (which I imagine is most of you lol): I'm building a Tetris clone from the ground up in C without any game engines or external libraries or whatever, making everything myself. That includes the music and the graphics and everything else, not just the code. See my last post for more details.

The project has taken a major leap forward since my last update. We've actually got gameplay now! There's all the essentials of Tetris, from movement to line clears to a lose condition. It's an actual, playable game! Next up on my TODO is probably the preview window as well as the hold box, and then the score counter, which probably means that I have to implement a font rasterizer lol. And then there's of course hard drops and wall kicks and T-spins and all that. That's basically it in terms of actual gameplay, but there's still so much more to do after that. I'm excited.

See you in the next update :3
