Since we’re all here, any chance we can make a small push in the direction of having a standardized “style”/“theme” file that we can plug into the different systems?
I can code, try to make games and cool stuff.
I know python, some C, and use

@BaardFigur My dude, I understand and celebrate the memes, but please understand that linux first time using is a sensitve period in people’s lives and the reach of modern social media means there is some x% of users who will have a bad time, because they saw that meme and took it seriously.
It’s a statistical guarantee.
@wgs I really hope you’re trolling. Don’t do that.
Yes, this is expected and means the regular safeties are working. Don’t turn those off please.
Generally, don’t just copy paste things you find online.
Something else to be aware of and stay away from is “rm -rf /” which will delete everything on your computer, including your operating system. Naturally this will crash the computer and you will not be able to start it again.
(You should be able to boot from a usb stick though.)
@bl4kers @floofloof I think it’s interesting that it’s just a 30 something dude.
The things he’s found aren’t super detective stuff either, he’s taken an interest, found a few pictures that look suspicious, looked some more and wrote about it. Something anyone can do.
I find that motivating.
Crypt of the Necrodancer
The characters are difficulty levels, some with additional rules.
It’s a rythm rpg, lore character #1 can miss beats, collect stuff, etc.
Lore character #3 can’t miss a beat or miss and can’t upgrade health, so you always die in one hit.
When I beat the 4 chapters with that character I was done :D
@Lunar Zero.
Against the Storm is amazing.
Phantom Brigade fulfilled my high expectations.
Mechabellum was a cool take on auto battling
Nebulous Fleet Command is cool, but not finished and maybe just not my cup of tea, but definitely very much knows what it wants to be and is very good at that.
And the rest are well known good games not released this year.
A single server MMO like eve online, but with real stakes.
In eve, when you die, you keep your character, most of your assets are safe, either by meta gaming or game mechanics.
You can’t *really* harm/steal from characters.
Which reduces the need to work together and defend your character and your assets. Risk aversion and occasional replacement is a valid strategy.
There is more stuff wrong with eve… but the biggest problem is the stakes.
Languages are just tools, so let’s take the shortcut to the xkcd about editors 😁
Imo theoretical #RTS development just stopped after StarCraft and total annihilation.
Sup com is my favorite but nobody really tried to reimagine what “RTS” should mean.
Not like COD -> Doom(2016) did for fps.
So both perspectives are valid and deal with unsolved problems that are unfortunately just hard and not profitable to solve.
“One option to avoid this is to self-host, but then you’ll be identifiable via your domain and have to maintain a server.”
Makes it a non issue.
It’s free as in freedom not as in free beer and that’s that.
Jitsi doesn’t have to offer free service and they particularly don’t have to provide anonymity.
The same is true for the fediverse, since the admins have info that could help identify users. That has it’s uses too.
Agreeing with @mister_monster here.
COVID was an information clusterfuck. Nobody knew anything, how it spread, what it does, which measures where effective.
I remember reading about it in December, January '19 and there was no way to know whether it was a real threat or no issue like birdflu.
Even if official info had been correct and timely, which it wasn’t, there was still enough misinformation around that you can’t blame people for picking up the wrong things.
Trust me, I get it and I agree, #capitalism sucks. Mostly.
But that’s not how it works.
You can’t just take an arbitrary event and claim it came to be despite the circumstances, not because of them.
Like, that’s not how causality works.
Besides, It’s a way stronger argument to point at the overwhelming amount of bad games and bad features and say those got produced under capitalism and that’s why it’s bad full stop.
thank you for your mod work!
@emeraldheart I’m not frustrated, because it’s not a dilemma to me.
Blizzard’s glory days are long gone, WOTC does whatever, I had my fun, and J.K. Rowling is a more complex topic. But assuming she’s “bad” I’m fine with that too.
The games industry is only bleak if you omit the #indiedev scene. there are *so many* cool, new games.
E.g. In the last 12 months I have had a blast with Against the Storm, Phantom Brigade and Mechabellum.
@Pantoffel supreme commander is my all time favorite and “beyond all reason” is a free game, developed by the community that shares some elements.
@MJBrune I think I really like timed challenges even if I’m not very good at them.
Like block -> parry
Also with tolerance areas where you can hit a “passing” “good” or “perfect” score.
@oshitwaddup @yogthos can’t find the source anymore but I saw a video that basically said “the closing of twitter was so chaotic you can claim whatever you want, they can’t check whether you are lying”
So if you are already on board with lying your resume… That? Former “senior backend engineer 5years”?
Obviously don’t put stuff they can just check, like claiming skills they can just test you for.
Also maybe not lead positions those people might be too famous.
@hzkvskd yes, I agree.
I haven’t played them but those are the games I’m referring to that didn’t get it right from what I’ve heard.
I want big player run cities and factions that can maintain the peace. Or at least a realistic chance to do it.
Where the chance of being attacked in the street theoretically exists but there are guards/police and a justice system the make it the exception.
