So, my day went like this: First I woke up and was thinking of writing a certain kind of subgame, and started doing that based on another one. Then I decided that the idea I had wasn’t complete enough, discarded that mini-project and decided that integrating mapgen v5 with current master would make sense.

I barely did that and begun flying around in a world generated by it. It seemed that implementing mgv7 biomes on it would be a next step, but a boring one. Then I thought a bit and came to the conclusion that some of paramat’s mods must be capable of the things that I like in v5, and quickly ended up flying around in a Watershed-generated world. It was just as glorious as always and I experimented a bit with recording flying with constant speed in it.

Nothing seemed to go wrong, so I iterated some hours on a hack that controls the height of flight and finally let it run for a final pass. It had a lot of water. I was like “Fuck it; let me just get some music!” and surprisingly quickly ended up with something licensed under CC BY-SA that I really wanted to use.

It took a fair amount of arranging and cutting to get it match the video. The end result of this is what you see above.

I only now found out about the TDE project and that it is maintaining the 1.4 series of Amarok, and packaging it for everything.

It’s fucking glorious. I love you. The Yauap backend plays even the audio from Matroska video files. It doesn’t start randomly consuming 100% CPU like Clementine does. Even the “Suggested Songs” dynamic playlist works which is the absolute peak of modern music player development. Nothing has that today. Except this.

KDE4 forgot almost everything that was good about KDE3.5. These people didn’t.
