Zergling_manA long time ago I had a simple idea for a tech demo of a game, attempting to replicate a sense of touch by using short, transparent icons to indicate things happening out of vision range. I think this was after CoD:MW was released, I don't know if I'd played it at that point, but pretty sure I had played CoD1, and probably other things with hit direction indicators, so it wasn't entirely original, but it was definitely expanding upon that to a level that didn't exist at the time - and as far as I know, still doesn't. The first "scene" I had in mind for it was you as a kid in a warzone, you pick up a gun and try to fire it, but the recoil knocks you over, and you can feel the gun leave your hand as you're blown back, so you'd get an indication of that.
Not too long after that, a couple of months or so, I was at PyCon and went to the dinner afterward (for free, because I was volunteering), and was telling someone about it there, and they thought what I wanted was "no UI", and that meant no icons either, because they're UI, so they were saying "you could have the camera force look to your empty hands [after the initial shock] to show it". I don't know how they managed to misunderstand it so completely, but I do clearly remember that at that moment I thought "there's no point talking to this person; he has no imagination".
@Suiseiseki You're thinking of javascript. Python is generally braindead easy; it's for when I want to write something without thinking and have it still do what I wanted. Usually there is one,and preferably only one, obvious way to do things. This is the obvious behaviour; just not the most convenient.
@tradracist Twitter gets billions of dollars and press coverage but fedi can't have a single instance that isn't flooded with screenshots from that shithole
@Inginsub@istvan@adiz@MK2boogaloo mdesu is just a shell script, with deps on basically just curl, jq and fzf, plus whatever image viewer (defaults to sxiv). IIRC the problem he had was one of fzf's deps.
@adiz@istvan@MK2boogaloo It really doesn't. I do casual work for a guy, handful of ubuntu aws boxes. Every single time I touch one I immediately discover a new way to hate apt.
@adiz@istvan@MK2boogaloo >I thought Alpine Linux was mostly for servers and would be headless anyway? I thought it was mostly for containers, and, since containers are retarded, retarded. I ran it on my laptop for a little while, put xfce on it, it was fine, but you might as well just >gentoo
@splitshockvirus@dcc Oh right forgot to post obligatory This complex moral choice is actually a complex *strategic* choice... If it shows up as a random event. You can trigger it manually but in that case you must always choose the recond option or you wasted a precious action. Also it's actually somewhat uncommon because IIRC you can only get this event if you haven't wiped Uesugi yet, which basically means going through the hannies, which nobody wants to do because it's fucking hannies.
