That sounds like a dream. I use an MBP for work because the alternative is Windows. It really just ends up being a glorified ssh terminal to get to my Linux VM. I felt bad enough at one point that I switched to kitty to make better use of the M2 capabilities.
The 1996 free breakfast cereal promotional game Chex Quest (which is actually a total conversion of Ultimate Doom with much of the original data intact).
I both love and hate this so much. The performance and recording is incredible but any super tech nerdy parody just causes me immense internal cringe. I couldn’t make it more than a third of the way through that and I love working with K8S.
Absolutely the best kind of space crashloopbackoff.
If go further and say that one should appreciate someone else’s “yum” (as long as it is ethical), especially if it seems strange, outlandish, and/or confusing. The human experience is greatly enriched because of the bizarre things that some of us enjoy.
Yeah. I’ve seen some listed in the supported games. It’s not my thing and I think it’s kinda weird. However, I think the freakiness and weirdness of humanity, like this, is just beautiful.
So, I went down a weird rabbit hole a few months back and discovered that there are gamers pursuing a level of depravity that I want expecting. There are open-source mods for some competitive multiplayer games that control sex toys.
… Hydrogen cyanide is literally what has been used to execute people in gas chambers and genocide during the Holocaust. The LC(Lo), the lowest recorded lethal concentration is 107ppm, resulting in death in 10 minutes. That’s, objectively, far more dangerous than the respective material that firefighters were exposed to at Chernobyl. You don’t want that in any appreciable quantity in the air around people that you want to continue living.
So what it’s really like is only having to do half the work?
If it’s automating the interesting problem solving side of things and leaving just debugging code that one isn’t familiar with, I really don’t see value to humanity in such use cases. That’s really just making debugging more time consuming and removing the majority of fulfilling work in development (in ways that are likely harder to maintain and may be subject to future legal action for license violations). Better to let it do things that it actually does well and keep engaged programmers.
Absolutely there with you. Hence my suggestion of thrift store.
And for wearing one to the office? I also work from home so, would only likely do so to confuse my wife.
I’m excited to see more once it becomes available. Have already added to wishlist. A couple of thoughts, similar to what some others have voiced:
Animations are not everything or enough to make a good game. However, attention to detail in animations is a big plus in my book, regardless of graphical quality. It is something that I tend to notice and appreciate.
Mechanics are fundamental to any game, physical or digital. There’s two diametrically opposed directions that I’ve seen that result in enjoyable games:
Mechanics that are optimized for enjoyment rather than strict realism. People play games for entertainment. If a mechanic is extremely frustrating, it will likely cause people to lose interest even if it is extremely realistic. In this approach, such mechanics are tuned or dropped to ensure that the player experience is as good as it can be.
Mechanics that are optimized for realism to an excessive degree, with enjoyable gameplay taking a backseat. This is likely to result in a smaller, cult following as many will get frustrated and move on. A good example of this is Dwarf Fortress with its unofficial slogan of “Losing is Fun”.
I would strongly suggest leaning towards the former as the latter is a really hard target to hit and the cult following for a game that does hit #2 perfectly may also be delayed until long after release.
Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your future progress.
Yeah that will work on Linux too.
THANK YOU!!! I was just going to ask about this.
I think that she prefers “Academy Award-nominated character actor, and producer Margot Robbie”.
I, for one, do like to iron. I’d probably not like it if it was mandatory for all clothing though. What really has happened is societal changes leading to much more casual attire expectations (not that we could afford to dress like previous generations) alongside advancements in textile technology that have resulted in garments less likely to show wrinkles.
Give it a try. Hit up a thrift store and get some great tacky suits from the 70s and 80s, if you can find em. It’s a bit of fun to wear them when it’s not necessary or expected. I probably wouldn’t wear a really nice wedding/funeral suit in such cases because I spill fucking everything and would become destitute from the dry cleaning bills.
Now, if it were a social expectation/requirement, it would suck and not be fun. But, as a choice that one can make, it’s great sometimes.
Fuck yes it is. I think I’ve ironed more this century than my Boomer mother. And none of it was out of necessity.
After working as a farm hand one summer, it was like a switch flipped in my head and I really started to like button-ups and the like. Probably something along the lines of “this clothing is completely different from my work clothing and doesn’t have animal shit on it”.
No-iron shirts and slacks are still the way to go but, getting those wrinkles that escape is just so satisfying.
Yeah… I’m pretty sure you need an iron for those. A decent iron can probably do everything that a hand steamer can so, might as well just go with a nice iron.
You’re very welcome! Also, look at the shape of handguns prior to the advent of self-contained cartridges. They also tend to have a curve to them for the same reasons. You may also see a tendency in modern large-frame revolvers and some 20th century combat revolvers to sometimes have a straighter grip. The goal there being to make re-acquiring the target for a follow-up shot faster. The former use the mass of the gun and sometimes advanced elastomers to soak up some of the recoil, while the later used the mass of the gun and not giving a fuck about the soldier firing it for that purpose.
Columbine happened when I was a kid and nothing of any substance has been done since.
My dev VM is almost entirely disposable. Could be up and running again, fresh in 30-60min, not counting time to pull the repo. Why use a local db server? Seems weird to me but, I came to development through SysAdmin and support stuff, so, was used to not owning the machine that I was on. That probably has heavily influenced my workflow.
Out of curiosity, would you mind sharing a bit any the languages/frameworks and workflows that you are using? I’m mainly using Go, C++, Python, and a few others and just having trouble figuring out how I’d arrive at a situation like that. No CI/CD and test systems?
