Black hat v grey hat innit

It’s actually so bad. It’s like racist stereotype bingo

Whoa now save some for the rest of us

Just finishing up Episode 4 of the Quake remaster on nightmare difficulty. Episodes 1-3 were challenging, but my god these exploding bouncy ball “spawns” in E4 are such rage fuel.

Only 3 more levels then I move on to the expansions. First time playing those, so looking forward to it!

rerere makes resolving these almost bearable

Is this the book that introduced SOLID?

More like they’re not allowed to rob

Okay maybe robbed a bit at the start

Haha Xit

About 8GiB thumb drive. I don’t hang on to much

Tell me you don’t add alt text to your posts without telling me :p

I imagine it’s a 2D array? So width would be captured by uhh like a[N].len.

It could be I’m misunderstanding you, because not not sure what you mean by:

linear data with varying sectioning content

Indeed, treasure that memory. I wish I’d had access to the pirate/bootleg console scene, but at least there was the PC scene, and emulators for me.

Ahhh the prime pirating years. Enjoy! If I hadn’t pirated at that age, I would have but a tiny fraction of the shared culture and nostalgia that I currently enjoy with my peers.

…and that contemporary game makers and publishers profit from today, now that I’ve got money to spend.

Sure they do. They just come with exciting, new problems

Sometimes a change is as good as a rest

The real win is encapsulation. Whether that’s many modules running on the same server or many is not where the juice is

Senior more like seen-enough-of-your-shit

There wasn’t any let or const when I got into it hahaa

Good ol’ jQuery - never thought I’d hear that

I came from a cpp background and loved it the moment I saw it. Like, you mean I just go var foo = ... and then I can put anything? No type casting?? No types??? Finally, I was free.

But I’ve always been more of a hacker than a real programmer. I’ve since learned that there are advantages to using types, static checking, etc…

I remember my friend’s brother secretly installed a graphics card on the family PC and we first noticed because when we started playing Half-Life one day it looked all smooth and "milky.

I think they did it because they could? Like more pixels = more hi def. But of course the textures weren’t actually high res, so everything is interpolated

Segments as in levels. So in segmented, you can try for example level 3 “Unforseen Conséquences” as many times as you like, and then pick your best time. In this way you can stitch together all your best times to make one segmented run.

Unsegmented I suppose just means a standard speed run: all in one session. If you get a bad time on level 12 you have to start all over at level 1.

I’ve never used a VPN, except I guess for work, and never heard boo out of anyone over where I chose to park my ship

Oh the different retroid pockets look really cool. Thanks, you’ve given me a lot to dig in to!

1. Smaller the better, not wide like a Switch or Stream Deck.

2. Under 200 CAD, but flexible for the right device

3. Limited 3D but no more. Like FX chip level

4. Linux? Hopefully I understood the question

Thanks for taking this time!

Hell yes!! I would love that. I’m definitely looking for something lofi - like even playing SNES games would probably be overkill. Bonus points if it can play contemporary retro games, like for PICO-8

That’s true, especially since I don’t have any of the old physical games.

I might get one of those “retro handhelds” (rg351p, PowKiddy, etc) one day. Those at least seem much more reasonable, and probably sport more open architecture

I think maybe I just want a GBA

Which is probably currently available if I look around

It’s no Gameboy, that’s for sure. I use it resting on a pillow on my lap, so I don’t actually have to hold it up. Works very well that way actually

I’d go even farther back - make another GBA

So the employees who are employed by donations, or all contributors? Not trying to throw a wrench in your suggestion, just wondering what this would look like for masto

Is the board paid? I thought it was a volunteer position, where you meet based on a certain cadence and vote on enterprise matters.

I’m also quite wary of corp/venture/capitalist influence on masto/fedi/décentralisation.

Omg stop what are you guys thinking

It is interesting, I got a promotion pretty much exactly when I started using light modes (farewell DarkReader, my beloved).

Hmm maybe everyone should be responsible for their OWN bridge, just so it’s not socialist.

That just sounds like a magic 8 ball with some statistics sprinkled over

Honestly I think they should go back an engine until they’ve proved they can handle a new one

Yeah those are the best part. When you find a new “build” you feel like you broke the the game (in a good way). But last two antes can still shut you out like a steel trap

Just try the demo. Play 3 hands. You’ll know if it’s for you

It faded pretty quick once I won with one deck. I didn’t realise how short the game actually was.

Still fun to find new synergies though, so I’m still playing every few days
