today's helldivers 2 discovery: it has an unlockable revolver. makes sense, right? lots of games do.

you fire six out of six shots and reload. your character uses a speedloader. makes sense!

you fire two shots and reload.

• if you're in a fight, your character uses a speedloader, and you lose four
• if you're not, they reload it round by round, and you lose none

this is an incredible level of attention to detail holy shit. nobody does this!!

case in point for "if you build useful tools someone will use it in the MIC": if you can emulate Macormedia Flash well enough to run junk from Newgrounds, defense contractors will be interested too

being ready to die affords you the most complete freedom of action you can have. therefore you must be ready to die at any moment

ohhhhh, the reason i couldn't find any device-specific code in the binary i was reverse-engineering is because it was all living in encrypted lisp blobs

that makes sense

opens clip in kdenlive
clicks Stabilize
(kdenlive produces a clip that looks exactly the same)
increases shakiness setting
(kdenlive crashes)
restarts kdenlive, retries
(kdenlive hangs)

imagine having software that works

both telegram and matrix have untrustworthy cryptography, but telegram has gaslit me significantly fewer times and generally not on an ongoing basis, which is really the main thing i care about in a messenger

"it's vulnerable to IND-CCA3" anybody who can pull off that attack on me deserves whatever they get out of it. i just want a messenger that isn't built by americans who have a Single Phone Number and also doesn't gaslight me. is that too much to ask for?
