Sure, Autokey doesn’t work.

I do think ditching X11 is still slightly premature. For all its more modern features, there’s still a lot that Wayland either hasn’t implemented yet or “can’t do” because of its “security model.”

Cats purr and get free shit.

Pay some college students to cast the snail in epoxy.

We also have by far the best throwing game in the world. Some animals can spit with reasonable accuracy, some apes can kind of lob shit in a general direction, and there’s that one lizard that can spray blood from its eye, but nothing in the animal kingdom past or present has a human’s innate ability for ranged attack. The average man can throw a fist sized rock hard and accurate enough to crack a skull from 20 yards with his bare hand. And we’ve spent the last 10,000 years inventing newer and more impressive ways of throwing stuff.

You can’t hear a cricket chirp in a vacuum.

The motor is too loud.

The Brothers Green were doing that shit 15 years ago.

In a different system where you’ve got multiple parties and there’s the “20% of GDP goes to welfare, we’re meh on cannabis, duh on gay rights, our top priority is unions and workers rights and our second priority is environmental protection” party and there’s the “25% GDP to welfare, we’re meh on unions and workers rights, duh on the environment, top priority is gay rights and second priority is education” a couple made of one member of each of those two parties will probably work, because those two parties likely unite against the “20% of GDP goes to kicking the poor in the stomach, we’re death to the environment and death to workers, our top priority is making the rich richer and our second priority is war in the middle east” party.

In the American system, which is quickly devolving into two religions whose core tenets are to hate each other as obnoxiously as possible, I just have to wonder where you even met? At what trans-ally klan rally did that meet cute take place?

lasagna is a sandwich.

Every single microwave I’ve ever seen set it either as a percentage or a…perdecage? 1-10. Like I don’t think I can set my current microwave to 73% power; I get 70% or 80%.

Useless pedantry:

It was actually McCoy who said “how can you think of food”, not Carol. Kirk was not eating an apple (yet), McCoy was responding to Kirk having just said “Is there anything to eat? I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m starved.”

Kirk IS eating an apple later in the Genesis cave during the conversation with Saavik about the no-win scenario. “I don’t like to lose. into communicator Enterprise, it’s been two hours, are you ready?” Spock: “Right on schedule, Admiral. Give us your coordinates and we’ll beam you aboard.” “All right. to Saavik I don’t like to lose crunches apple”

Fathers versus childless men, rather than husbands vs unmarried men. Telling.

openscad is kind of a bad choice for architectural drawings.

Is RNG always bullshit? No; only a sith speaks in absolutes. There are appropriate uses of randomness in video games. Is RNG very often a source of bullshit? Absolutely. Do I feel like that’s the case in Blue Prince? ABSOLUTELY

“I got the pump room but not the boiler room again so I still can’t try doing the thing I’ve been trying to do.” Said players of a game designed to disrespect their time.

If, at the start of each in-game day, you were given all of the rooms you’d unlocked so far, and were allowed to arrange them however you like right then and there, and were then free to move around in it however much you please, would the game be worsened? I’m convinced it would only be improved, because pretty much all you would do is remove “Welp, for the fifteenth time, I know what I want to try, but random chance prevented me from doing so.”

The presentation is charming and the puzzles are intriguing but I think the community is putting up with the deeply terrible mechanics out of sheer novelty, and another game made like it isn’t going to be well received.

Adding bullshit RNG to a puzzle game to make it take longer might make it more “challenging” but doesn’t make it better, is my point.

I may have phrased that in a strange double negative way.

Modern mobile platforms like Android and iOS are sinister in a way that PalmOS wasn’t. PalmOS, becasue the devices weren’t connected to the internet much if at all, didn’t have the big brother always watching and trying to come up with new ways to exploit the user as is standard today.

Putting a jigsaw puzzle together is a challenge. You could increase that challenge by requiring yourself to roll a die and getting 6 five times in a row before you’re allowed to try to fit a piece. Does that sound like good game design to you?

There was a lack of sinisterness to the PalmOS ecosystem that we’ve lost.

Probably PalmOS.

this car’s a lost and blinded fool…oh no I’ve said too much. I said it all.
