It was mostly video games and paper writing
(31 Mar at 23:44) |
Ah, I did not forget about you, my little bloggie! But I have to act fast.
March is always like this: I have finished or nearly finished my SIGBOVIK project, but SIGBOVIK has not happened yet, and so I have nothing to say here. I did finish my paper, a very dumb thing that I wrote 25 pages about, in order to make it dumber. I'm maybe a third of the way through putting together a video, which I should have done around the time of the conference. It's April 10 this year, I think to synchronize it with CMU's Carnival.
But quickly on the video games: I got myself addicted to Terraria. It has a lot of good ideas and decisions in it, although I must say that the core combat is pretty darn clunky. I think I'm nearing the "end" but I fear that nothing's ever actually going to come of my thoroughly-undermined base. I'm also playing increpare's Oeuf, which is a challenging Egg 3D platformer. It's for people who like to punish themselves (e.g. me) but I like it better than Getting Over It because it is a lot less mean. But it's still a little mean. I also just picked up Insight (or perhaps it is actually called IN⸮IGHT), a tidy little indie puzzler that seems promising (One of those: "No words. Feel smart for figuring out what's going on as you admire how the game designer communicates what's going on to someone so smart as you." games).
The next post will have Content and then I'm itching with so many projects to attend to next! |

| if you are looking for more small puzzle games (as if there’s a scarcity of them) i highly recommend tiling forest! |
| Thanks! I love Carcassonne! |
| Looking forward to reading the SIGBOVIK paper! |

| Is "toxic max-security" a play on the words for "toxic masculinity"? |
| Wait, if TLS has a HEARTBEAT command that behaves like ECHO packets, why not build Pingu 2: Harder and Vulnerable(r) with httpv? |

hi tom! here after your youtube video popped up in my feed here to say two things.
1. im too small brained for terraria i prefer minecraft
2. i disagree with your anti-ssl opinions but i absolutely love how your website also isnt mobile friendly. i hate how you're "supposed" to make everything responsive and mobile friendly. like im making a website and NOT a glorified tablet app |
| This is a verys ecure website madeby Me, Tom 7; Iam definitely the creator of this website tom7.org |
| Nice to see the internet isn't dead yet |
| Shucks, someone beat me to posting their credit card |

| Hi, I just found your website (thanks Hacker News!) and discovered you were the creator of some fonts I have seen in the past. In fact in the old 90's. Thank you very much for your creations. Can I know how do you create them? |
| What is that platformer game you mentioned? I'm intrigued but can't seem to find it anywhere by name |
"Hi, I just found your website (thanks Hacker News!) and discovered you were the creator of some fonts I have seen in the past. In fact in the old 90's. Thank you very much for your creations. Can I know how do you create them?"
I answer myself: read https://carnage-melon.tom7.org/makefont/ |

Hey everyone, listen up, your attention if you please:
Really wanna give you a warning cuz I found out this morning about a dangerous (insidious) internet protocol
If you should find a video with the title 'HTTPV' you better not go taking your chances. Under no circumstances should you open it or else it will:
* Translate your documents into (printable) x86
* Make your NES reverse emulate your brain
* Neuter your pets
* (and) Give your RAM static cling! |
| similar question to not Tom 7, I can't find IN⸮IGHT by name, but it sounds right up my alley. Is it that game with the circle and rectangles (https://artindi.itch.io/insight)? It has a few words but I can't find anything else it can plausibly be. |

> Is "toxic max-security" a play on the words for "toxic masculinity"?
Yes!
> IN⸮IGHT
Perhaps just searching for "INSIGHT" would work better. On Steam it's here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1602980/Insight/
Not a platformer, though. Stephen's game Oeuf is here:

I'm still plugging away at it... it's frustrating but I feel compelled to succeed! |

Hello there internet stranger. If you are reading this i have succesfully sent this thorugh a working copy of Microsoft Interent Explorer 1.5 through a modern OS via HTTP
For some reason when i try to load any main pages i get hit with the exact same message each time something about "This ain't no place to be"
Also yes i am using a proxy because i do not want to run the risk of my home network getting DDoSed :) |
| shit i mispelled the name |
Yeah, unfortunately I only have one IP address so if your browser doesn't send "Host: whatever.org" then the web server doesn't know where to send you!
The first web browser I used was NCSA Mosaic, your ancestor! |

Now that you're done with the video, I'd like to repeat my recommendation from a few years ago. Patrick's Parabox "https://patricktraynor.itch.io/patricks-parabox" is an abstract puzzle game that I think you'll like very much. Its rules are very elegant but lead far. The puzzles are well constructed.
Best of all, the game has four natural stopping points built in, so you don't have to sink an infinite amount of time playing a never-ending game: any%, all levels not marked with a red border, all levels before postgame, 100% including postgame. I doubt the first two can work for you, but I've seen multiple players who reached 100% in a reasonable amount of time, so it's clearly possible to get done with the game. (Until you start to look for levels made by third parties of course.)
