It's funny how there is now a plethora of tools and engines that make game development easier and more efficient, and the corporations are still like "ThE GaMeS aRe ToO ExPeNsIvE tO mAkE".

I'll grant it to you, Microsoft, Recall looks like a useful feature, especially for people like me who can and will forget what the fuck were they doing last week.

Fuck, I mean, I had to make a whole podcast dedicated specifically to that and host it for 2,5 years.

Where's the guarantee though that the copilot's data stays on my computer? Where's the guarantee that it's only me who has the access to the data recorded?

Where's the source code, you pricks? Or is the feature just an excuse for you spying on us?

Спасибо всем, кто посмотрел со мной "Однажды в Голливуде". Любите свою карьеру, но помните, что она временна, а дружба - навсегда. Ну, и на всякий случай не помешает хранить огнемет.

Кстати, на канала 16на9 Кунгурова есть отличный обзор на этот фильм.

Emotions are a great motivator, but almost always a bad advisor.

Know that your first impulse, your first reaction to anything is supreficial, and therefore almost always wrong. Learn to think before you act.

Сегодня вечером, в 21:00 по Москве, мы отправимся назад во времени и немножечко в пространстве. Нас ждут счастливые, солнечные, кодахромовые шестидесятые годы в Америке - с неоновыми вывесками, босоногими хипарями и хипарками, масл-карами, серф-роком из магнитол, и расцветом кинематографа. Это любимое время режиссера Квентина Тарантино. Он расскажет нам сказку об этом времени. Времени, которое умерло с приходом банды Мэнсона и убийством Шэрон Тейт.

Фильм "Однажды в Голливуде". Приглашаю вас на Fediverse Movie Night!

The radio signals we broadcast are escaping into outer space, creating a radio layer, that's ever expanding at the speed of light.

Meaning, some alien somewhere somewhen is watching our TV.

Can't we, like, automate it?

I've been contemplating my heel-face turn from a pessimistic edgelord to a proudly, albeit cautiously, optimistic person.

And it's not self-deceit. It's not like I've stopped seeing the terrible darkness at the bottom of everything. I just realized, over the years, that dwelling on it gets you nowhere, and it, sure as hell, does as much to help the situation as shouting at an ATM gets you richer.

Pessimism, much like loneliness, is intoxicating and highly addictive. It's poison, it's fucking heroin. It drains your willpower, it lulls you in that insidiously blissful sense of "there's no point an anything, and I'm superior to the plebs around me for seeing it", and "You don't have to do anything, what's the point, you're so clever". It kills you from the inside.

Дорогие HRы.

Прекратите в объявлениях о работе писать "до n рублей".

Мы, блять, айтишники. Большинство из нас знают математику за 1 класс средней школы. Кого вы пытаетесь наебать.

One can keep their mental disorders well at bay if they are willing to get help, and commit to it.

The problem is, mental disorders are awesome at annihilating the will to get help and commit to it.

Nice.

One issue I have with fighting systems in almost all RPGs (most games, actually) is that every fight must be until either you or your adversary kicks the bucket.

You stole a piece of meat at a bazaar and got caught? No, you don't just get beaten up and thrown in jail or out of town, you will be straight executed on sight.

Conversely, you mishappened upon a gang of less than friendly ruffians? No, they won't beg or surrender or run away when it becomes clear that it's them who mishappened upon you, they will fight to the bitter end, as if under the order from the supreme god of everything to either murderize your ass, or die trying.

It's not plausible. Vast majority of fights are not like that. Most of the confrontations involving force end with either running or talking. Not a lot of people want to get murdered or be a murderer, especially over things that don't matter much.

Infinity: pissing off physicists by popping up in their equations since 13 800 000 000 BC

drq, 8 days ago (edited 7 days ago) to random Russian

Every invention represents some value. The Internet represents the values that are innate to the human species - our crave for communication, community, togetherness that has thankfully kept us alive for millennia, even if we're, once again, at conflict with ourselves - it came from the nuclear programme in the Cold War.
It also represents freedom to find out together through science (WWW is a CERN project), and build together through machine-mediated empathy (FOSS and such), and to fool around together for binary-encoded fun (games, demoscene, Internet art and humour).

If I hold anything sacred, it's these simple values. And the Internet still holds promise for that.

I think, therefore, that abusing the Internet, and twisting it into something that ultimately serves only a minority, lining their already deep pockets at the expense of the humanity's future, or intentionally breaking it in the name of a geopolitical squabble, is the very special kind of crime. I hope, you would agree.

Being an asshole tends to breed more assholes. So, it's in your best interest to not be one.

It ain't always easy, but please make an honest attempt.
