cheesybomb's website

Welcome to the personal web page of cheesybomb. I make things of varying quality. I'm also not good at finishing these things, at least not in a timely fashion.

Here are some of my projects, both finished and WIP:

• flatland - WIP monarchic state management strategy : git
• it's getting cold - text-based survival simulation : git : site : play

Facts about me:

• I don't believe in any such thing as a non-corrupt government or a government that looks out for its people, i.e. I am an anarchist.
• There is no such thing as "justified violence" to me. The term itself is an oxymoron. I sometimes struggle with pacifism, unfortunately, and it weighs a bit on my conscience (though I've never done anything terrible).
• It is my strong opinion that an idiot admires complexity.
• I believe that there should be no separation between user and developer. They should be one in the same, with the user experienced enough and given enough freedom to modify the program to his will and the developer giving the user a functioning, fast tool without attempting to screw him over through such bullshit as microtransactions or subscriptions or whatever Adobe/Maya/etc. is doing now. However, I think the separate terms should remain for clarity's sake.
• From my lived experience, I believe we are living in an age of facism disguised as tolerance. Speech is regulated and micromanaged to a ludicrous degree and those who even have minor disagreements against the so-called wave of "tolerance" are murdered and lynched. People who supposedly promote peace and love are the ones who most easily respond to calls to violence. The so-called "anti-facists" are also facist and use violence. And those who offer a different solution to this facism are just another kind of facist, a.k.a. the conservative/right, with equally bad and harmful ideas. Technology also suffers, being co-opted and used by these movements with no regard for the quality of the software (see COCs).
• I think the web sucks ass now. Every website requires Javascript, and for some websites it's even mandatory for the site to even display.
• I think schools (both public and private) in their current form are a complete waste of time, and at worst are deliberately designed to break your spirit and crush your free-thinking side. See this writeup here.
• C is my favorite programming language (not C++). I use Lua for my throwaway scripts. Python is slower, more bloated, and less portable than Lua, and it also has ugly ass syntax.
