No answers, but a lot of downvoting and toxicity around pROPer QueSTioNS. I got reminded why I haven't gone to that site for a very long time.

(Also if you have some better tutorials for the win32 API than what MS has, then I would appreciate that. No, I don't need a bloated library, that does things, but poorly, and has similar documentation issues with functions everyone assumes are called between the two main ones.)

Supposedly, it was only supposed to happen with high-precision trackpads, but it happens to all my devices. I do however have a graphic tablet and an old PS/2 keyboard connected to my motherboard, but all devices cause such issues on my PC at least. I tried my best to follow MS documentations as closely as possible, so unless there was something missing from there (I've read something about OnInputEvent.Post(), but it might be related to some other API) I don't think I've done something wrong.

I'm writing an input-output library, and I want an easy way of handling text input without having to rely on stuff on program side, which would be extremely troubling with all the international input support. As long as I can translate them to characters in some way or another, I don't mind any kind of solution.

I'm likely on a yet another burnout cycle, and I have little to no possibility of meeting with people thanks to the place I live. I also have trouble with socializing in general, even in online spaces.

Since my current job I don't make enough to move or to live alone, and the only better place would cost me more than the Hungarian minimum wage (of which I make less than thanks to labor programs 🤢), I cannot really change this, also would only marginally help me since I always had issues with socializing.

I'm thinking about creating a separate Mastodon account for promoting my game engine, and I'm looking for a suitable instance.

My game engine is open-source, so both gamedev and opensource-related instances would be good.

Here's the situation:

• I work at an institution as a desk clerk in Hungary's infamous employment program, that barely pays (half of minimum wage to keep the other employees wage barely above minimum), and with very limited leave days. Only 20 days paid, no unpaid leave for "work moral" reasons (!!!), and the doctors barely give out any sick leaves (none for regular check ups!).
• My paid leaves are tied until the kitchen gets rebuilt, due to then they would have to put one of the maintenance guys in my place.
• I'm disabled. I have autism, which makes this kind of work extremely stressful to me, which made even harder by the attitude many Hungarians have towards any office work. In addition I also have epilepsy, and my medication has really strong side effects, many of which are so bad that I should have been given different medication, except my doctor refuses to see me. In theory, I could get some benefits with my autism, but I would have to go through very invasive and humiliating tests to "make sure I'm not lying about my disability" (long story short: Fidesz won the 2010 election on the moral panic of "welfare queens", because far-right websites found Mercedeses with disability cards). Nothing for the epilepsy stuff though, even if my medication messes up my sleep cycle and it alone disallows me to drive cars, which limits my job options.

On this Saturday (tomorrow) my boss asked me to get to work, because of a "family day", for no real pay and no additional leaves, especially not for a month at least, because the aforementioned construction work. We will have even more visitors than usual, and live music (which is popular songs sang and played very badly on a keyboard). I'm already very tired and stressed out due to my low tolerance for this kind of work, and on top of it, I have extra home responsibiities on the weekend. However, she negs me to come.

I help whenever I can. I gave them computer equipment as they're not allowed to spend money on it, or else they would anger the main Fidesz voter base by spending money on "Playstations". I have stayed on many occassions when I was needed. However, tomorrow, I can't.

Should I lie about a terrible headache and/or a food poisoning? She wrote in a few paid leaves for such occassions before, so this should work.

So I got the MIDI sequencer working, even if I have yet to get music created specifically for the software synths of my game engine.

I have some issues with understanding the documentation on how set tempo events and time divisions work, so it's really not well calculated, and thus causes my code to just zoom through the MIDI file I'm throwing at it. Maybe there's some other chunks I'm not processing at the function that should be processing MIDI events here, so I don't really know.

Some testing from my software synth I made for my game engine.

Screen is completely black, so good luck with the USB OTG mouse trick. Phone is a Galaxy A8 (2018).
