lime!

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.

the devkit was an SGI supercomputer, since they designed the CPU. no nintendo hardware in it.

Remember how extreme hardware progress was back then. the devkit for the n64 was $250k in 1993 but the console was $250 in 1996.

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.

well, not always. for about 35 years, sure.

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.

insisting on calling all tissues kleenex is how the company loses the rights to the name

“your instance” is where you made your account, so lemmy.world

take a breather and come back to it later, the place will still be here :)

could be worse i guess

depends. it’s still an entire programming language.

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”

well yeah, just like websites are generated from HTML. point being, someone has to make them.

does the site have a link preview? those are not generated, they’re created by the website maker.
