Super Castlevania 4 is the best of those early ones. Rondo is pretty good also but very hard. People find charms in the first 3 but they’re a bit rough.
If you prefer the Symphony lineage, the gameboy collections are very good. Not every game is brilliant but it’s amazing value.
Programmers after slacking off for two days to improve their factories in Shapez2 because they already automated all their tasks.
If changing requirements mean you need to update the script, then updating the script is part of your job. QED. I don’t see the problem with a little job security.
Damn, that was incredible! Thanks for sharing. What a speech, that one should really be more widely known, but i can see why it doesn’t get taught in the US.
It’s posts that are a step up from piss-posting, but below regular unmodified posting.
If they called them “hot boxes” instead of “gas chambers,” i think the public support might be stronger.
“Hey Chad, we’re going light up this joint and gas chamber Alex’s car, want in?”
just doesn’t work as well.
I came into the industry right when XML fever had peaked as was beginning to fall back. But in MS land, it never really went away, just being slowly cannibalize by JSON.
You’re right though, there was some cool stuff being done with xml when it was assumed that it would be the future of all data formats. Being able to apply standard tools like XLT transforms, XSS styling, schemas to validate, and XPath to search/query and you had some very powerful generic tools.
JSON has barely caught up to that with schemes and transforms. JQ lets you query json but I don’t really find it more readable or usable than XPath. I’m sure something like XLT exists, but there’s no standardization or attempt to rally around shared tools like with XML.
That to me is the saddest thing. VC/MBA-backed companies have driven everyone into the worst cases of NIHS ever. Now there’s no standards, no attempts to share work or unify around reliable technology. Its every company for themselves and getting other people suckered into using (and freely maintaining) your tools as a prelude to locking them into your ecosystem is the norm now.
I’ve written Go code; they were right to fear.
I wrote a powershell script to parse some json config to drive it’s automation. I was delighted to discover the built-in powershell ConvertFrom-Json command accepts json with // comments as .jsonc files. So my config files get to be commented.
I hope the programmer(s) who thought to include that find cash laying in the streets everyday and that they never lose socks in the dryer.
I sort of hoped the beaming part of the gif was looped to never end. Great prank!

Make sure to only eat oysters fed a strict vegan diet, then you’re all clear.
Angry driving can make one quite blunt
Enough to rage over a mundane stunt
At bicyclists abreast
a roar rose in his chest

Try a typing game, there’s lots of them now in several genres. I learned to touch type in secondary school, doing the old fashioned thing of taping a sheet of paper over the keyboard (and typing under it) so you can’t see the keys. That works but I believe in the educational power of games, and it’ll be more fun.
Otherwise, just practice. If you use lemmy on mobile, try switching to desktop to type more. Start writing letters to people or short stories or anything that just encourages you to type more.
I wish games just wouldn’t license music, or would attain a perpetual license that allows the work to remain whole and as intended. Can you imagine if your movie collection just auto-updated to change the soundtrack or add some new scenes in now and again? It’s fucking stupid what people put up with in games and software.
Seeing this actually sent a small wave of dread through my body
Well, banned for having mild opinions on US politics and then getting defensive when someone called them a genocide enabler. Sounds like hexbear did them a favor. If only the right-wing loonies were so quick to ban people who disagreed with them instead of setting up a big slide to draw them further in.
So are we switching from metacritic to NASDAQ for our game reviews now? No longer will we buy or subscribe to games, now we invest in them. With the blockchain, we will…
I believe you’ll find the documentary film “They Live” educational on the matter of space capitalism.
