Yakuza: Like a Dragon does this and I’m grateful.

When the game is such a precious labour of love, so obviously cared for, and constantly improved, that there’s no way the dev has any time left for gaming.

things you can do to kill time in confinment

No. February 12, 2015 actually was an extremely polluted day for Paris. The fine particles count was through the roof and you can find articles about it. Please don’t pull stuff out of your ass.

Hopefully they said “adieu” (very respectfully fuck off forever), not “au revoir” (see you again friend).

having to wait for javascript to load, decompress, parse, JIT, transmogrify, rejimble and perform two rinse cycles

This is whole sentence is facetious nonsense. Just-in-time compilation is not in websites, it’s in browsers, and it was a massive performance gain for the web. Sending files gzipped over the wire has been going on forever and the decompressing on receival is nothing compared to the gains on load time. I’m going to ignore the made up words. If you don’t know you don’t know. Please don’t confidently make shit up.

EDIT: I’m with about the nags though. Fuck them nags.

Oh I love it when the language has advanced type inference! I have fond memories of tinkering with Haxe.

I know far too little about compilers & interpreters to have anything to say about performance so I’ll leave that subject to wiser programmers.

What I can say about the usage itself of dynamically vs statically typed languages is that I struggle with assessments that attempt to quantify the differences between the two paradigms. I’ve come to consider programming has a craft, and as such the qualitative properties of the tools, and especially the languages, matter significantly.

I’ve been switching back and forth between dynamic and static languages lately. Although dynamic languages do feel more straight to the point, static languages are easier to navigate through. All that typing information can be harnessed by intellisense and empower the non-linear reading needed to understand a program. That’s valuable for the whole life cycle of the software, not just the time to reach initial release. It’s kind of a rigid vs fluid dichotomy.

Vintage Story looks like a pretty cool survival! Do you have recommendations for games on Luanti?

The rainbow chat sounds awesome! Wishing you happy conversations and maybe even some new friends

I’m with you. Very puritan, kinkshaming article. Stellar Blade might not be my thing, but I know not to yuck people’s yum. One could take the opportunity to discuss sexual objectification, but apparently that’s off the table.

Bunnyyy! Bunny zoomies are the best

Imho Valve’s crown jewel is proton, which is already available by default on any Linux Steam install. Going for a “boring” Linux like Mint and installing Steam delivers a seamless experience for many gamer profiles already nowadays. The progress has been amazing (ymmv of course)

Still very excited about SteamOS because so many gamers seem to put enough trust in Valve to actually bite the bullet and ditch Windows.
