697I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible
I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post
I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time
I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

how do you think things are going in the alternate universe where instead of USB, we standardized on ethernet?
external peripherals plug in over ethernet, and just communicate over tcp/ip. usb hubs? you just use ethernet hubs. you recharge your phone and laptop and ebook over PoE.
There's PoE powerbanks and many people keep them in their purse/bag

something that #HideousDestructor does that I would love to see in more games with #milsim elements is that itās stylized. the weapons are often quirky scifi tech that jams, cooks off, or has DRM that you have to work around. and that lets it contrive its mechanics for fun gameplay while still feeling verisimilar. for example I feel like in most milsims youāre forced to choose between a bunch of near-identical rifles that are meticulously based on real-world weapons. but in #HDest each weapon feels incredibly unique from every other weapon and each one has its own niche
the ZM66 is a piece of shit but it can pierce through armor, whereas the shotgun has incredibly plentiful ammo and is easy to aim but armor stops it dead. and even the shotgun itself has two firing modes, and both of them have interesting pros and cons (semi-auto can jam, which can throw off your firing rhythm, whereas pump-action is much slower but more consistent)
anyway idk I just want more stylized milsim-like games that have cool mechanics like that, instead of milsims that are set in beige-brown modern military land with super bland modern military tech

for the price of the latest $70 microtransaction slop, you could buy:
- $10: Terraria
- $15: Hollow Knight
- $15: Stardew Valley
- $10: Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the old one. the good one)
- $15: Bastion
- $5: HOLE
and this is assuming that none of them are on sale, because a lot of these are frequently discounted by 50% or more

#HideousDestructor is one of the deepest and most well-designed shooters I have ever experienced. Iāve been playing it for years and Iām still not tired of it, and it is completely free
meanwhile the new $70 Indiana Jones starts by forcing you to slog through 1-2 hours of forced story and then you get about 45 minutesā worth of slapstick entertainment from beating up fascists and I had to stop playing after that because there was more forced story

kasdeyaIāve played about 8 games total in my life that I think are worth $70, but the funny thing is that none of them were priced higher than $15 when I bought them
meanwhile Iāve played plenty of $60-$70 games that are justā¦ so unfun. like āI canāt get through the first hour of gameplayā levels of unfun

kasdeyaI miss when websites were exclusively serverside-rendered and the HTML was hand-written and it was really easy and fun to write userscripts
Iām trying to write an Akkoma userscript so that my tabs will have informative titles instead of all of them just saying āCryptid Cafeā and all of the logic works except the stupid SPA keeps clobbering my changes to document.title all the time

javascript I need you to choose one of these two options:
- have an extremely barebones standard library to the point that people are forced to copy-paste multiple StackOverflow answers in order to accomplish one (1) basic task
- be ridiculously overengineered to the point of coming with an entire relational database, a GPU rendering system, a system for running an entire assembly languageā¦
you canāt do both. I need you to stop trying to do both
