Alright, so there's this CPU from the 70s. It was super powerful for its time, and powered a whole generation of computers. I dabbled a bit in writing ASM programs for it back in 2021, but got sidetracked due to life stuff. Recently, I decided to try programming for the NES in my free time, and honestly It's kind of relaxing compared to C and C++. There's no complicated structures or compilers, no objects, just pure code. It's super simple, yet complex. I'm probably insane for finding relaxation in Assembly programming, but that's just how I am I guess.
I also found a security vulnerability inside of CodeHS. I'm not going to go into specifics, but it was essentially a gateway into taking over the sandboxes they provide for various programming languages. I alerted them, and got added to the Security Hall of Fame, which I thought was pretty neat.
I'm also still using Gentoo, and I have barely touched Windows in months. Every time I have to use it I shudder and cry for 5 hours.

Whoa, when I logged into Spacehey today I definitely didn't expect to see someone talk about 6502 assembly ! I was planning on learning it, you finding it relaxing compared to C give me some motivation :D
It's very fun all things considered. I personally recommend using the ca65 assembler. I'm personally doing stuff for NES, but of you go to learnasm.net you can find general resources for the 6502. The YT channel NES Hacker has good videos and github repos about the nes with ca65, and the Nerdy Nights nes tutorials were how I personally got started

I'll take a look at it, thanks !
