• Ask HN: Share Your YoutTube Channel

  Here’s mine: https://youtube.com/@chadobear I have a repo with some of the stuff I use to produce my videos, too: https://gitlab.com/crgk/chadobear-monorepo/-/tree/main/studio?ref_type=heads It’s very sloppy and hacky and maybe(?) more interesting to this audience than the videos themselves. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• I learned Vulkan and wrote a small game engine with it (in 3 months)

  Highly recommend this guy’s channel, he livestreams building a Vulkan game engine and he has a crazy style too https://youtube.com/@tokyospliff?si=CMF53295xeETykbP. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• Larian romance stats vs AO3 stats

• Best Spuffy long fics?

  Elysian Fields is the place for Spuffy fanfic! I recommend doing an Advanced Search - you can search for and sort by word count, likes, etc. (similar to Archive of Our Own, also a place with Spuffy fics but not quite as user-friendly as EF). Source: 6 months ago
