@monorail generally when i do games stuff in JS i have:
- event listeners, which write to a object which tracks input states
- logic loop, which reads input states and read/writes game state
- rendering loop, which reads (but does not write!!) game state and updates the page
@monorail yes with the caveat that with javascript generally you want to separate logic "frames" (which you run with setTimeout every N milliseconds) and rendering "frames" (which you run with requestAnimationFrame) [if applicable]
logic code can/should check input as a part of that
@sublingual well deciding the collective emotional value of a piece requires talking about it in public, but that's spoilers!! everybody should have the freedom to make up their own mind independently what a piece of art means to them, without reference to any sort of collective conversation, criticism, or understanding
@aescling considering how this story ends, yes
in fairness the “I Wrote This Instead Of Sleeping” Reader!Zelda/Link PWP smut currently sitting in the Notes app of my phone is really fucking good
i would like to remind potential employers that my academic area of expertise lies at the intersection of literary theory and sexuality studies
i’m a writer because anybody who writes long enough eventually gets good at writing (this is a lie) but you can always tell the assholes straight off (also a lie)
@aescling this is actually the woman in this woodblock whomst is NOT a vampire 🧛🏻♀️
@Satsuma more to the point i guess i’m not a part of any writerly communities and certainly not any which are doing them for october
@Satsuma i’m not convinced i like drabbles
i’m also not convinced that prompts lists work the same way for fiction that they do for visual media
i’m glad something like the internet archive exists but i wish it was run by better people lmao
@aescling they’re taken from https://wayforward.archive.org/ia2046/
beyond that i got no answers
this is funny because the Internet Archive could literally just be like “hey we are a massive internet library wot has a huge repository of public‐domain content and wot archives old webpages” and that would be a 1000% better sell than “maybe in the future, CHINA”
