Also on top of what other folks are saying, making a complete modern computer is really fucking hard.

No one is making a 3ghz CPU in their garage. Maybe folks are assembling stm32, or pis, or whatever into their own pcbs, but the machines that make the chips just aren't hobby level yet. You just have to buy some stuff.

Maybe that's not your point. Maybe you're okay with the processor being closed because it is fucking hard to make.

Beyond the hardware now we're talking making your own drivers and shit. There are resources out there like zephyr, but there's millions of devices that aren't covered.

Try writing your own SPI interface for an established MCU and a common periferal. Make sure you include crc, don't skip it. Maybe skimp and do i2c. It's fucking hard.

It fucking sucks listening to music in an apartment and feeling no emotional effect from the loud parts besides anxiety about 'oh god will my neighbors complain'

Get open back headphones. They're specifically for audiophiles who think headphones aren't the same. I have some and love them. Ear buds and normal headphones feel like you're trapped in your head. Open back simulate being in the room with music.

Also, fuck you if you play your sorry ass music loud enough that your neighbors can hear it or feel it. I don't care if it's just the sweet part of Fade to Black or the riff on Aerodynamic, if a neighbor plays that shit pound enough to broadcast the muffled remix, it's fucking war.

Edit: actually an unpopular opinion, upvoted

'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs

For the likely large overlap this audience might have with dnd, it didn't make 100mil a year so it gets to eat shit. It doesn't help that the video game license isn't counted in that total. Other Hasbro brands do make 100mil a year.

I thought magic was one. It is surprising to see layoffs there.

Anyway, of course a corporation does evil shit. The only moral is the line going up.
