raspberry pi adventures ep 1

-

     So! The Raspberry Pi 4B. 2GB of memory, ARMv6 CPU, GPIO pins, Ethernet, USB 3 and 2, MicroHDMI port, and so much other stuff I haven't even gotten the chance to look into yet.

    I had a MicroSD Card sitting unused in my Nintendo Switch that no one uses anymore!! So I took it out and imaged the Raspberry Pi 64-bit OS on it immediately, but I couldn't figure out how to set up Wi-Fi and SSH into it, which lead to a lot of anguish and frustration.

    I realized that to actually do anything with this, I would need to use an actual keyboard and mouse and everything on it to see what the fuck the problem was. The Robotics club somehow has a Pi 4B too, which one of the students owns and uses with a camera module for some AI shenanigans (As the Sir said). I couldn't get the MicroHDMI converter from the club because they only had one, and it was in use! So I decided to take my Pi to school and set it up there and then come back home and do stuff on it.

    I first accidentally took the Pi to school on a Saturday (31/Aug/2024), a day when the Robotics club is closed because Sir doesn't come to school! So I kept it home till Monday came around and went there to update and set everything for my SSH-ing.

    The Robotics Sir hooked it up and let me do whatever I wanted on it which is like duh because it's mine, but I was expecting him to just sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade it and turn everything off. So I update the system, and it takes ages to install everything and quickly SSH into it using my laptop and close it because I had physics or math class or something.


 

    Anyways, after setting up everything correctly I tried to remote desktop into it but the VNC stuff is really weird to set up because it's way less straightforward than SSH and Remmina said I need some kind of certificate for it which I don't have. So I'll have to figure out how to send files using something in SSH, or just write code on the Pi.

    I keep telling everyone that I'm making a "Miata" with this doohickey, which is true, but it requires knowledge of robotics, soldering, 3d modeling, electronics, Pi programming, Arduino programming, and a bunch of components that I don't have yet!

    Once I have a sexy little design document ready for the "Miata" I'll blog post about what the hell I'm doing :3

Florence & Interactive Narrative Design

While researching for this blog, I learned about the allegations against the  lead developer Ken Wong of abusing his fellow staff members. I, sadly, only found out about this after buying the game. He should be condemned for his actions and face legal consequences.  [source]      Florence  (2018) is a game published by Annapurna Interactive   and released on February 14th, 2018.        The game follows our protagonist, a 25-year-old “Florence Yeoh” and the experience of her first romantic relationship. The game employs internal focalization for its narrative. Events are viewed through the perspective of Florence. The game is designed around a linear narrative, with choices made by the player not affecting the outcome of the main narrative.       The story is split into 6 acts, which are further divided into 20 chapters. Diegetic UI is used throughout the course of the story to build a relationship between t...

new smaller plans

       Welcome back everyone! Apologies for being gone for sooo long :3      I was working on a bunch of long ass blogs and then realized it was all for nothing, because I didn’t know enough about the topic to be able to write something worth writing. And so I started reading about all of it. That didn’t help either because the research for “The game development of darksouls” is going to take longer than a day! So I kind of needed a break before going back in again.         Now, though, I have an idea for the blog and how I want to do stuff in the future. Currently, I just write and do stuff or make stuff whenever I feel like it, which isn’t very productive or helpful or efficient or anything else other than “quick and easy”.      Through my ~17 years of existence, I’ve come to learn that I enjoy learning things and using that knowledge (by making something or teaching) than anything else I’ve done. And I wa...

     Pick for a second, an arbitrarily small unit of time like the second. How much can you do in one second? What does your body do in one second if you do not consider involuntary tasks to be your doing? What can two people do in one second? What can eight billion people do in one second? What can more than eight billion people do in two seconds? In a day? In a year? In twenty thousand years? Forget people. What can a near infinite amount of atoms and molecules do in 13 billion years?      They can do today, right now.      You stand bare, in front of you is a large jagged structure with medium-large bright-colored spheres dangling off of each branch. Your stomach makes a familiar pain. You are starving. You pick off a sphere, and it is plump and coarse. You, out of necessity, take a bite. It is bitter and hard, but your teeth reach it’s soft and sweet innards. You eat it. You do not know your name. You do not know where the orange tree ...
