Chloe Kim has been busy. The Olympic gold medalist (she became the youngest woman ever to win Olympic snowboarding gold in 2018) is still competing, having recently become one of the biggest stars in action sports, with eight X Games gold medals and multiple world titles. She’s also hit up red carpets, made headlines with her boyfriend, NFL star Myles Garrett, and became Batiste’s global brand ambassador. (Yes, that good drugstore dry shampoo.)

Somehow, the 26-year-old athlete also finds time to read — and the girl knows ball. “I love romantasy,” Kim told Fashionista at the “Batiste Pit Stop” truck at The Grove in Los Angeles. “I know ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ is coming out with the next book. I’ve been obsessed with ‘Fourth Wing.’ I’ve gone through all of the books.”

She also loves to shop, and she even did her own hair and makeup early that morning. Hours later, in the scorching sun, it still looked impeccable — so it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about beauty. Ahead, the Olympian gives a rundown on her fashion and beauty must-haves — including the mascara she’s loving, jeans she buys on repeat and the luxury skin tint she’s dying to get her hands on.

What’s a luxury beauty item you have your eye on right now?

When I was in Korea, the makeup artist there used the Shiseido skin tint on me, and it looked so beautiful, so I think that’s going to be my next luxury beauty item purchase.

What’s a drugstore beauty item you swear by?

Batiste Dry Shampoo, especially the Vanilla Soufflé scent.

What’s an accessory you’re eyeing right now?

I’m looking for really gorgeous, long, dangly diamond earrings. So, if you know a good one, let me know!

What’s a luxury fashion item you’re lusting after?

The jumbo Chanel flap bag. This thing is huge! It’s the biggest bag I’ve ever seen in my life. Someone who is watching this, if you have it, please part ways with it and give it to me. I will pay anything.

What’s a beauty staple you love so much you’ve bought multiples of?

My favorite mascara, the Tower 28 Make Waves. It’s so, so good and it comes off so easily in the shower. I forget I have it on and it just melts right off.

What’s a fashion staple you love so much you’ve bought multiples of?

I love a good skirt. I love every type of skirt. I just bought a skirt made out of sweatpant material from Acne Studios. It’s so cute.

What shoes do you want to buy right now?

I’m really into kitten heels right now. My favorite heels I own right now are the Bottega ones, and I honestly have too many in different colors. So I need a different style right now.

What’s an affordable item on your shopping list right now?

Some new jeans. I love Levi’s. They fit me very well and I love their low-rise jeans. [She’s also looking for a new book (romantasy, of course).]

What’s the last product a friend influenced you to buy?

Candle warmers! (Specifically this Amazon purchase.) They’re so nice, and you don’t have to worry about your house catching on fire.

Masochistic YouTuber Punishes Himself by Writing a First Person Shooter Entirely in COBOL<img src="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/06/cobol-fps-1280x853.png" /><br><div> <p>So: masochism. You might know that it takes its name from 19th-century Austrian nobleman and writer Leopold Ritter von Sacher-Masoch—and specifically from the content of his famous work, <em>Venus in Furs</em>, which catalogued the narrator’s submissive nature and fondness for experiencing pain and humiliation. Masoch himself was apparently not amused by the fact that his name became attached to such predilections—probably fair, given that the term was first used in a book entitled <em>Psychopathia Sexualis</em>, which also pioneered negging by speculating that Masoch himself “would have achieved real greatness had he been actuated by normally sexual feelings.” Happily, modern attitudes to the “S” part of BDSM are significantly more enlightened than they were in the 1880s and 1890s.</p> <p>In entirely unrelated news, a YouTuber by the name of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@icitry">icitry</a>—whose bio on the site reads simply “try now, suffer later”—has written a whole first-person shooter in freaking COBOL.</p> <p>If you’ve never had to deal with COBOL, well, good for you, and you should probably keep it that way. The language is amongst the oldest computer languages, and was developed in the 1960s for managing business mainframes. It’s probably what drove poor Ginsberg in <em>Mad Men</em> out of his mind. COBOL remains in use today, largely in such legacy mainframes and other places where it’s not feasible to replace existing systems that, for all their foibles, still work.</p> <p>One purpose for which it absolutely does not remain in use—and, in fact, has never been used—is programming first-person shooters. So why in the name of all that is good and holy would anyone do this to themselves?</p> <div class="not-prose video-container"><noscript>[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzpZQe7JT-o[/embed]</noscript></div> <p>In his video, icitry explains that the project started with him wondering, “What’s the dumbest but still technically possible language for writing a small FPS style game?” The answer was, yes, COBOL, and because the laws of the universe dictate that anything that can happen <em>must </em>happen, icitry got to work. Long, painstaking, tedious hours of work.</p> <p>As he points out, COBOL is “old, verbose, missing most features even the shittiest modern languages have … and is definitely not created for game development.” All of this is true, although in fairness to COBOL, it was created at a time when people were still figuring out how programming should work and what a programming language should aim to be. Its earliest standard predated the idea of structured programming, although it soon attracted criticism from advocates of that concept— Edsger Dijkstra, in particular, famously hated the language and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170502143353/http:/www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD04xx/EWD498.html">said</a> its use “cripples the mind.”</p> <p>To modern eyes, just trying to parse a COBOL program is enough to induce a headache, let alone trying to write a game in it—but, miraculously, icitry manages to get his Wolfenstein 3D-esque project to work. He dodges COBOL’s complete lack of graphical functions by basically treating the game as what he calls a “frame generator”: his code computes the contents of each frame and uses a standard output function to write the results into a simple image format. This is rendered by <a href="https://ffmpeg.org/ffplay.html">ffplay</a>—which, yes, is probably cheating, but not even old Leopold would try to write an entire graphics API from scratch in COBOL.</p> <p>Elsewhere, icitry dodges COBOL’s lack of input management by using the console to input single characters to his game. He doesn’t so much dodge COBOL’s lack of any vector math functions—which are kind of important for a game where the entire gameplay loop revolves around calculating and manipulating 2D movement vectors—as he does just work around them by kinda writing them himself. And then, as if this wasn’t all enough self-punishment, he goes the extra mile by implementing <em>DOOM</em> engine functions like variable ceiling height.</p> <p>The whole project is a testament to mankind’s ingenuity, resourcefulness, and ability to withstand all manner of self-inflicted punishment. Watching the game run, you’d never guess it was written in a language so manifestly unsuited for the task at hand.</p> <p>Still! At least it’s not FORTRAN, right? Right?? *smash cut to an Austrian aristocrat at his desk with a copy of <em>The Fortran Automatic Coding System for the IBM 704</em> and the <em>DOOM</em> source code*</p> </div>#Masochistic #YouTuber #Punishes #Writing #Person #Shooter #COBOLCOBOL,Doom,Wolfenstein 3D
