Cloudpunk is nice, although it’s more of a “walking simulator” than a fully-fledged RPG. It’s a cyberpunk-ish indie game in which you’re a delivery driver, although with a flying car and a sentient dog.

Elon shouldn’t be in this chart, too easy to win

One would think, but with both Thiel and Bezos in the competition this isn’t as cut-and-dry as you’d assume. Thiel especially is fucking evil, he’s way worse than Musk

To expand on this, the problem with huge releases is that bugs tend to pile up along with the new features, simply because more stuff has been changed. You’re much more likely to experience a painful release if you pile in months of changes, and this is doubly true for a distributed system with no rigorous testing of the system itself instead of just units

The thing is that Fallout: New Vegas used the same engine, and it proved that you can do a much more interesting and engaging story and quests with Creation Engine compared to what Bethesda is capable of. Sure, Creation is still a bit of a piece of shit when it comes to engines, but it can be used for creating complex storylines etc. and not just “go there and push a button” or “go there and kill a person”

Ohhh duh right, of course. I was thinking like notification sounds or even the signal itself somehow interfering with sleep quality

so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality

Wait how does this work

I resemble this comment

at 7 my bones were made of rubber

I was just thinking about this. I’m in my 40’s and it feels like I now break a rib if I sneeze hard, and I was wondering whether I’m actually “less durable” nowadays than I was when I was younger

show that Descartes was wrong, because they exist but they don’t think.

“A therefore B” doesn’t imply “B therefore A”

It’s one of my favorite shitty movies. Figured there’s got to be like dozens of people (DOZENS!) who would get this meme on Lemmy

Oh nice, I’ve never thought to make fried onion garnish in a microwave

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’d be the last free election in the US if Trump gets elected again

I lost the game years ago, and soon you will have lost it too. It’s a 20 year old meme, but basically:

The Game is a mind game in which the objective is to avoid thinking about The Game itself. Thinking about The Game constitutes a loss, which must be announced each time it occurs. It is impossible to win most versions of The Game. Depending on the variation, it is held that the whole world, or all those who are aware of the game, are playing it at all times. Tactics have been developed to increase the number of people who are aware of The Game, and thereby increase the number of losses.

Ideas are a dime a dozen, unfortunately; doing shit is where the money comes from, and even a bad idea can make you rich if you follow through on it and get lucky.

Don’t shove things into your orifices.

BUT I HUNGER

It’s “penopodes”

Edit: also actually penes (pēnēs)

I’ll be treating the freebie as a limited collectable in a video game

Ah so you’ll be using it impulsively on the first thing that crosses your mind, only to regret what you did just moments afterwards?

and never use it fearing that I’ll waste it

Oh I see

I’m not sure which thought is scarier: that you don’t know what you’re signing up for, or that you do know and you enjoy fixing undecidable formatting fuckups manually

Semantic whitespace problems can easily be literally impossible to solve automatically. One of the dumbest fucking ideas anybody ever came up with in computing and its inventor if anyone belongs in YAML Hell. As a fuckup it’s not quite as bad as null, but that ain’t exactly a high bar

There’s a special place in hell for the inventor of semantically significant whitespace.

YAML itself is one of the circles of hell. You have to copy-paste YAML from web etc sources with dubious formatting for all eternity, and the editor doesn’t have YAML support. Also you can only use Python
