Is "steam controller" another name for an airbender?

the three values of a boolean, just how hofstadter wrote it up #geb #zendo #mu

most roguelikes don't bear any resemblance to Rogue (1980). in the past I've joked that these non-Rogue roguelikes are "isaaclikes" because the binding of isaac really established the formula that everything else uses, with normal encounters and boss encounters and powerups that combine in novel […]

the naive strategy for Werewolf is to overshare, and the expert strategy is to protect your privacy. --- so like maybe this experience isn't universal but I know my first time playing a hidden roles social deduction game, I picked up on a strategy that seemed pretty obvious to me. "let's just […]

i remember i was a grade school teaching assistant once and i suggested we teach the students card games to improve their numeracy and they let me do it, and i remember they wanted to hear about multiplication or algebra skills but what i ended up discovering is that they already knew the basic […]

sometimes I get this automated phone call from my psychiatrist, the kind of automated call that "could have been an email", and it's like "this is a reminder for your upcoming appointment. please press 1 to cancel your appointment." and something about that phrasing REALLY bothers me. it's […]

is it an autism thing to feel bad about sorting my junk drawer because i'm "disturbing the dig site"? #neurospicy #autism #adhd #audhd #question

after reading That rust PR, I can see what they were *trying* to say, but if you lead your big controversial post with “comments raising ethical or legal concerns will be moderated, technical concerns only” then absolutely the only thing anyone is going to talk about is the alarming ethical and […]

its a damn shame that we finally have a handheld pc in everyone's pocket and there's no LAN games. remember finding a friend with pokemon and plugging in the link cable? as handhelds have gotten better it feels like we just gave up on the social aspect. if you know a good LAN game that runs on […]

How about some Victorian (questionably Victorian) era Lexi? #myart

Bitches want FLIP PHONES with GOOD SPECS and GRAPHENE OS as the default operating system. ... It's me, I'm bitches.

Wandering the #pyconus expo floor I was able to find a company that did not once use "AI" in its marketing materials and in a 15-minute conversation nobody said "agentic" even once. In the spirit of rewarding what we want to see in the world, check them out: https://phemeral.dev

Thinking about how, to create the "wireframe animation" effects in _Escape from New York_ (1981), even trivial computer animation was fantastically expensive so they built a miniature model with florescent tape on all the edges and filmed it under UV light so only the tape was visible

every once in a while someone asks us "why can't you just review the slop code as if it were human written" and let me tell you that we have tried it, and you cannot, actually, do this, for the simple reasons that humans do not write code like that human-written code follows a progression and […]

Someone has to mod the steam controller scream to be a portal turret distress noise, and make it once you pick it up again be ̶d̶o̶m̶m̶y̶ ̶m̶o̶m̶m̶y̶ ̶ Glados insulting you UvU

Why Firefox and Safari ship website-specific bugfixes, and why Chrome doesn't. https://denodell.com/blog/browsers-treat-big-sites-differently

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

[AI psychosis] @0xabad1dea is it just us or does everyone's AI psychosis kinda sound samey? like it's amazing, sam altman has gentrified time cube

I legitimately think the Kernel should work around this breakage, but deliberately introduce massive slowdown (e.g. mark the page holding the `struct rseq` to fault on every single write) to force the TCMalloc jerks to fix their blatantly broken shit https://lwn.net/Articles/1070072/

I often get replies that really clearly fit into the pattern described by those who warn about the literacy skills crisis — where readers see only the keywords, and construct a completely different sentence in their head with the same keywords and respond to it. It’s 100% not your fault if you […]

@[email protected] oh hey me too

I didn't plan that punchline by the way, I was telling this story to someone else and I walked into the punchline by accident and I was like "damn I really shaggy dog'd myself" anyway, update on this story, i left a 4/5 review of the car wash and they reached out to follow up on my experience […]

Google claim that their upcoming laptop is the "perfect partner to your Android phone" because you can "access files from your phone as if they live on your laptop" - but did you know that this is already possible, no special laptop model needed? KDE Connect is completely free and open source […]

That's cute. Went to IKEA and they had these fake sticker cards in some of their staged areas. I really apreciate how much they replicated a Presto (transit) and TPL (Library) card without actually cloning them.

Zoombinis (1996) running in an emulator!! this is running on Windows 98 SE on top of DosBox Pure on top of Retroarch on top of Android. This gave me some bluescreens at first but it turns out I needed to set the emulated CPU core to "normal" instead of "dynamic" […] [Original post on critters.gay]

i miss scantron. something magical about the whole thing. the elegance of multiple choice questions plus the ingenuity of checking answers by using the pencil graphite as a conductive pad.

Sublime Text is great not because it froze in time, but because the time it froze in was the best time for software. People were making products good for users, and corporations haven’t figured out yet how to exploit or sell users

need more TF where someone who was born as the species makes fun of the newly transformed for still acting human

They should start renting out all the giant empty restaurant spaces by me as 3,500 square foot "studio apartments" "with incredible kitchen"

I feel like I've probably gushed about this recently but today someone complimented me on my typing speed and I was like "Thanks, I played Read Write and Type a lot as a kid" and I feel like y'all should know that it's a Windows 98 game that's still being licensed and sold today because it's […]

at this point if a walrus knocks on my door then sure, i guess faeries are real.

I think I trust games more that have a name like "swumble's big jumble" because if the name is too "empoisoned" then I have a sneaking suspicion that the game was made to justify the cool name. like yes absolutely give your game a catchy name for marketing purposes but like, don't overdo it […]

it'd be really funny if Steam had the Mario Maker Rule you can't release your game until you beat it yourself from the start

I still think a video game that teaches you something during the tutorial like "press Y to hug your wife" and then that's not just an example but the literal meaning of that button for the remainder of the game would be really funny
