If anyone in #Seattle has firsthand sightings of #MAGA or other #Fascist folk *with photo evidence* please send it my way along with as much info as possible.
Date, time, and location?
What are they wearing? Logos, badges, slogans, gear?
What are they doing, specifically?
Do they have vehicles? Make, model, plates?
Do they have weapons? What kind?
game engines need to stop using their own custom scripting languages when Lua is right there and is genuinely one of the most elegant languages Iāve ever seen
One of the students anonymously complained that flags and politics don't belong in class, because I have a tiny pride flag with me.
So I put up an even bigger one for everyone to see.
I fucking love when a programming language explains why itās designed the way that it is and what its guiding philosophy is. Iāve been reading about Fennel (a Lisp-like language that transpiles to Lua) and I donāt think I would have given it a second glance if it didnāt have a philosophy that I almost entirely agree with. I would have just seen something that looked āuglyā or ākludgyā to me (without the context for why it is that way) and moved on to something else
@dragonarchitect oohhh interesting
I feel like a genie is not going to be able to reward me well enough to make up for a twisted wish, because that would imply that the genie knows what I want much better than I do - to the point that their reward is better than the opportunity cost of my original wish and the cost of a twisted wish combined
plus I donāt know how malicious the twisted wish is going to be. is this the kind of genie that wants to teach me a lesson by twisting my wish to show me that my wish is misguided? is this a mischievous genie who just wants to do a little temporary prank? or is this a genie that wants to cause actual harm?
Genie who asks its wishers how much they want it to twist their wishes before granting.
Genie that *rewards* wishers who let it twist their wishes: the harder the twist, the bigger the reward.
Are you willing to let this genie twist your wishes, knowing you'll get rewarded for it, even if your original wish gets corrupted?

I am begging you all to realize how much power states have in the United States. National news is sexy and it's easy for broadcasters to cherry pick the most interesting things happening nationally. But each state is different, and has different policies. Most things that bother you about "government" are done by your state government. Elections are run by your state. Programs are administered by your state government, who tack on their own regulations.
Local organizing is the most impactful thing you can do, and making an effort to organize and take back your state will also lead to organizing and getting better federal representatives. On the "political" front, that's what you can do. And on the civic front, local organizing is at the core of everything. Projecting state issues to the nation at large is a large part of why our political environment is so disfunctional, everyone has massively different experiences and contexts.
anyway have a fast of me playing brush burial 2ās demo

Iām ngl I didnāt like this game at all but maybe some of yāall will like it
Dark Souls 1: in order to avoid damage you can dodge-roll, parry, block, or get out of the way. but! you canāt parry bosses, so be careful
Dark Souls 3: we nerfed blocking and made parrying much more difficult and made dodge-rolls very fast and spammable. bosses still arenāt parryable but now bosses are extremely fast and aggressive and attack in long combos so blocking wonāt work either
Elden Ring: people were still finding ways to block and parry so we nerfed them even more. now the only way to deal with an enemy is to tap B with perfect rhythm to i-frame through their unstoppable onslaught of attacks and then get 1-2 hits in before repeating the pattern
whatever FromSoft releases next: we combined shields and parrying into one move, the try-to-block. when an enemy attacks you can press LB to try-to-block. it will always fail, but if you get the timing perfect you will also lose all of your stamina and get knocked backwards 30 meters. also boss fights are now a rhythm game where you tap B to win
everyone: a Metroidvania is a game similar to Metroid or Castlevania
Hollow Knight: but what if we added Soulslike elements?
everyone 3 years later: a Metroidvania is a 2D Soulslike
Silksong: *lights the entire internet on fire*
everyone 3 years later: āMetroidvaniaā is an old term for Hollowlikes
when i say iām a monstergirl and that i want to cuddle, this is what i mean
I hate this entire country. the marginalized people who are able to claw their way into having some approximation of a fair chance are chewed up and spit out and left to rot. meanwhile the rest of us have been left to rot for our entire lives
and weāre all trapped here in this nightmare country that wants us to die because it costs money to leave, and weāve been starved of money our entire lives
oh! the term that I was looking for was ācapeletā. the silksong protag wears a capelet
