Share whatever thing has brought you joy, whether it's kin related or not! Discuss other's things! Get to know one another!

Mine is kind of boring but I made a lot of progress in one of my projects last week. We're programmers, and I'm currently making a GPU fluid simulator for our resume--which sounds more impressive than it is, since most of the hard work was done by the people who wrote the papers I'm working from.

Still, last week I managed to get the thing entirely running on the GPU, making it much much faster. Now I just need to add a UI and maybe make it more efficient.

Just an angel lost in the world.

Your work sounds cool! I'm not technical enough for anything like that.

But something nice for myself, I bought a new laptop today. Been meaning to get something to replace my Chromebook. Main reason is I can do so much more on a Windows OS. And having a better CPU will hopefully mean better game-streaming. Why spend the money on a decent GPU when I already have a GPU intensive desktop I can stream to.

I’ve had a rly shitty few weeks but yesterday I was really at my limit. My coworker offered to get me McDonald’s and drive me home after I had to unexpectedly work a double. It was really small but it made me feel a lot better

Have you brought me things... for my HOARD?

That sounds great! I don't know much about video games, but which ones are you streaming?

Something that brought me joy lately has been finally getting a library card. The place is really nice, and they have so many books! I started reading To Kill a Mockingbird.

Oh, nice! To Kill a Mockingbird is great, it's one of the few "classics" I ever genuinely enjoyed. Lately we've been reading Ada, by Vladimir Nabokov, and while it's really dense and hard to get through, it's really good thus far as well.

(note that while i say 'we' it's mostly my more literate headmates lol. I'm barely literate, with anything of substantial length, due to ADHD.)

I'm loving it, yeah! Mad respect about reading Nabokov, I tried with Lolita and didn't get very far. What's what you like most about Ada so far?

I understand. I don't have ADHD, but for me, with autism, is audio processing what gets on the way sometimes. I can't listen to audiobooks, always get lost five minutes in. 😅

I have such varied tastes in games... In my Favourites category I have RPGs, FPSs, MMOs, Strategy, Simulation, everything except Racing I think?

Library card sounds very useful though! Just remember to return your loaned books, that's why I don't go to libraries anymore... Hah

Another reason to be happy for myself, got up and did some cleaning! It's very easy to fall into a state of laziness when it's the weekend.

I'll confess I had to look up half of those videogames categories, but they sound really cool! Personally I'm so bad at videogames it's not even funny, I'm sure I'd shoot my own foot in FPS if that were possible.

It's awesome that you could do cleaning too, it's true that in the weekend it seems to be double difficult to get tasks done. I'll take inspiration from this and finally do the laundry, haha.

There's a lot to like, but I think my favorite is just how the worldbuilding is presented? And how completely willing it is to just not give you *any* context whatsoever. It makes it hard to read, but it's confusing in the best way.

Okay!! My turn!
1. (Kin related) I keep shifting back to the realm known as my source anime-vampire knight whenever I sleep and it's really vivid!
2. (IRL-related) My best friend Augie who is also trans-masculine is going to college in the fall! He is very intelligent and got to skip 9th grade so that's why he's 17 and going to college. Only problem is currently we both live in Arizona and he's going to school in Minnesota come fall. Still, I'm proud of him!
3. (Other) I have narrowed down my college choices. University of Arizona, California College of The Arts, Whittier college, Ewha Woman's university in South Korea.

-Jeongyeon-Unnie! OwO
