nycki, to asklemmy in When did you get hit by "the tetris effect" AKA playing a video game so much that you get the urge to do moves/actions from the video game in real life?

I was that kid. Get them a copy of Rhythm Heaven if you can find one, or one of its spiritual successors like Rhythm Doctor.

Especially slightly angled walls!

I had been playing Minecraft back in the Technic modding era, lots of item tubes and machine blocks, and I remember looking at my actual real life washing machine and thinking “I bet I could use a wooden pipe to extract that into the dryer”

nycki, to showerthoughts in I just realised that this is not a painting by René Magritte

It’s a digital image of a painting!

(Six, if you fold the pages back.)

nycki, to asklemmy in If you had to give one piece of advice that is pretty much universally applicable, what would it be?

Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.

Learning good technique is hard and boring. Solve a problem the wrong way first, and you’ll find out what technique improvements are worthwhile.

nycki, to asklemmy in If you had an idle animation like in video games, what would it be?

I have adhd and my idle stim is shifting my weight from one foot to the other. I’m like a living metronome. Drives people crazy.

nycki, to asklemmy in What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

I would much rather learn a new word than slog through a glib deluge.

nycki, (edited ) to asklemmy in Which character should I use in a Windows/Linux directory name to place it at the top of an alphabetically sorted list?

I use ! to sort to top, and Ω to sort to bottom. So far haven’t had any compatibility problems.

For the curious: the use case for this is when you want to reduce nesting but also want a sort of “soft hierarchy” within a folder. I could separate my music folder into albums and playlists, but then I’d have a mostly empty folder, so instead I put both in the same directory and use prefix naming to sort them.

nycki, to asklemmy in I know that naming variables is one of the biggest unsolved problems of Computer Science but how would you name a boolean flag to be self explanatory?

if the states aren’t obvious, use an enum with two values, and name them both. Thats what enums are for.

nycki, to politics in Trump Hints Another January 6 Could Happen If He Loses the Election

I know what the headline actually means but i’m choosing to believe that donny just found out about calendars.

nycki, to opensource in Opensource app for mapping ps4 controller to android

ah, yeah, if you have an android game without built-in controller support then you’re out of luck right now, sorry.

nycki, to opensource in Opensource app for mapping ps4 controller to android

Retroarch and Steam Link both have android apps and support controller mapping, but I don’t know of any OS-level tools.

nycki, to antiquememesroadshow in oneteen

why doesn’t “one” rhyme with “bone”?

nycki, to memes in It's beautiful

I believe this is so they can make keyboards with a fancy “LinkedIn Button” on them, just like they’re trying to do now with Copilot.

nycki, to asklemmy in What is something you did for the first time recently?

I finally hacked my 3ds, using the tools at 3ds.hacks.guide. It was surprisingly easy, and gives you access to

  • homebrew!
  • emulators!
  • online play for most games! (see: Pretendo Network)
  • custom home screen themes!

I waited until Nintendo shut down their servers 'cause I was worried about bans, but now there’s no excuse. Go liberate your 3ds, it takes less than an hour.
