you know on the one hand i like the idea, but on the other i would like my computer to be as unantropomorphized as possible so that i don’t start treating it like it has feelings.
i’ll take ERR 0x2038A702 UNABLE TO COMPLY; LP0 ON FIRE over oh nyo pwease don't SIGKILL me uwu any day.
doom’s netcode is weird as well, all the clients run in perfect lock-step. seems like it would be weird on non-duplex networks.
that’s also a good reason to not have the screen fully close. less danger of stuff getting inside.
yeah but you’re not folding it 100 times a day. if you’re an avid reader, you’re opening and closing it 10-20 times a day tops.
depends. it’s still an entire programming language.
that’s what the other side wants them to do, yes.
servers are probably to tightly integrated into ubi’s infra to publish but they don’t want to say that.
i think that’s just a fundamental problem with designing magic systems though. if you design it logically, it doesn’t feel like magic. if you design it by feel, it doesn’t make sense. if you want it to feel magic but still be tricky to learn, it becomes a mess.
in the context of minecraft mods there’s also not much you can do.
hex casting is stack-based and has lots of different blocks for doing different things. trickster is fully functional and has very few blocks, but isn’t as well balanced for use with other mods. at least i think that’s the case.
i guess you could say the learning curve is a balance feature. it’s an entire functional programming language in a pretty unergonomic form factor, so actually building spells that do anything impressive takes a lot of time.
no, it does not. there is a rune that consumes amethyst but it’s just for flavour, so you can give your spell a cost if you want.
shout out to the trickster mod which is basically “what if magic is a lisp”
god, if “we didn’t think we’d need it” isn’t just the motto of wayland at this point.
the story is much better in jc2 but it’s so hard to go back to with how well executed the movement was in 3. it’s a shame they skimped on the writing.
like, the final boss in 2 is a fist fight on a flying cluster of ICBMs. the final boss in 3 is… a helicopter.
very welcome, if not particularly surprising. Chung uses the quake 3 engine pretty exclusively and has gpled his earlier games. i am definitely looking forward to the next installment of Cubehead Chronicles
can’t even wear a tie these days because of woke, it’s a collar or nothing
really? sounds like a weird span of systems considering they share so little code. i’d like to read on how they did that.
the part that’s safe is in the browser. it’s a basic fact of how http requests work that you can just request data and then not read it.
also, “task managering the popups”? unless i’ve missed some very weird development that has literally never worked, because popup windows are part of the parent process.
sweden also had this but they stopped sending out fines because they were a company masquerading as a government agency which is basically fraud. there is an explicit carve-out in the law for making private copies of things, and we already pay a “copying fee” when buying media that can be copied to so they had no way of proving whether you were pirating or doing backups.
i don’t use it because it’s an 80MB Electron mess with built-in tracking and advertising that does the same thing as tools that are installed on the system from day 1.
