684I 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

xgranade@wandering.shopNot suggesting anyone else do this, but I'm personally trying to be much more aware of how I use words that are basically marketing terms that have escaped containment. Words like "content" or "consume." Sometimes they're good words for referring to when business itself has escaped containment, but most of the time, it's me having internalized Art Cops into my brain, and I would like to not do that. So I don't.

@Kaution I loved HOLE! so this was a really really good suggestion - thank you! though unfortunately Iāve already played it
but also I donāt think Iāve heard of IcarusLives before! Iāll probably check out their channel when I get the energy because I always love Doom mods

@Kaution hm thatās true! I tried Ready or Not at one point but unfortunately I donāt think the difficulty is tuned for singleplayer at all, and it seems like the other two are only designed for multiplayer. so I guess Iād love to see more singleplayer games with milsim elements ā especially if theyāre more stylized than the typical milsim

āthereās no innovation left to make in the FPS spaceā
āFPSes are so oversaturatedā
nono listen. mainstream FPSes have been stagnant for 15 years but there are also so many concepts left to explore. just look at Hideous Destructor and Receiver 2. either of those games could easily become entire spinoff genres but instead theyāre left in obscurity while everyone is off making ultra-fast-paced PvP shooters and AAA interactive movie shooters, and indie devs are all making slight variations on the same boomer shooter formula
so simulation elements like in HDest and Receiver 2 are a completely untapped niche, but also consider the possibilities for open-ended imsim-y shooters with dynamic ludonarratives instead of scripted stories. like imagine an atmospheric open world survival shooter, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but without all of the forced story and scripted sections. I donāt know if I could name a good FPS thatās come out in the past 10 years that lets you open-endedly explore an open world at all
or even justā¦ how about more singleplayer extraction shooters? I donāt think I could name a single one besides HOLE and HOLE was incredible
thereās also an entire middle ground between milsim shooters and arcadey shooters that feels totally unexplored to me. how about a brutal, gritty cyberpunk shooter with milsim elements? where you have to frantically administer first aid on yourself after being injured?
or what about Rainbow Six Siege gadgets in a singleplayer tactical shooter?
there are so. many. concepts and mechanics to explore. I donāt understand how people arenāt seeing that

my new programming language has no variables. because this language is incapable of storing any state information in any form, it easily fixes several of the most pernicious problems in computer science:
corrupted state is now impossible
there is no need for semaphores when multithreading
the problem of cache invalidation is solved because itās no longer possible to cache anything
garbage collection is trivial: if you see data, garbage collect it
there is no need to distinguish between types of variables like āglobalā or āconstantā and there isnāt even a need for complex concepts like namespaces or scoping
other languages have complex, confusing type systems - but my language sidesteps this problem by having no variables to store those types in!
entire classes of control structures are no longer needed. for example in this language a
whileloopās condition must always evaluate to eithertrueorfalse(after all, it canāt rely on any state information from elsewhere in the code) so it has been replaced with theforeverloop - an inescapable infinite loop - which is obviously much cleaner and more elegantcode in this language is extremely easy to reason about because every line of code stands alone - disconnected from any context around it
this approach might be unfamiliar and even mind-boggling to users of less enlightened languages, but once you understand the genius of its design you will realize how objectively superior it is and how wrong you have been for trying to use any other kind of language
and this is how I feel when I see people acting smug about functional programming

kasdeyaI am so spoiled by LSPs tbh. I basically canāt write code in a language that doesnāt have really good LSP support. Iāve been thinking about learning Fennel but the lack of a stable LSP makes me not want to try it and yes I know how superficial that is lol
I just hate having to look up function signatures manually in the browser - plus LSPs catch all kinds of errors that would be hard to pin down otherwise (my Lua LSP actually warns me if Iām using a global variable because I forgot to add local which effectively fixes one of the biggest complaints I have about the language)
but alsoā¦ Fennel has Lisp-style macros and that sounds so cooll! it doesnāt have a āproperā (IMO) pipe operator but I already know exactly how I would design a macro to add it to the language myself, and the fact that I can justā¦ casually add a brand new language feature in potentially only like 10 lines of code is incredible

eblu@wetdry.worldok, I'm seeing people (maybe begrudgingly) poke around over here after bluesky made some not so great moderation decisions, so as a reminder to everyone that's been here: please do not act smug about this. bluesky worked for them and mastodon is totally different. there isn't any "wrong" place to go, neither is there a "wrong" way to post. be welcoming and accepting of other people's preferences please.
also, to people checking mastodon out for the first time or if it's been a while for you: feel free to tell off anyone who says that you're doing it wrong. block, report, whatever. you do not deserve to give harassers the time of day. that is how they win.

@Shivaekul omg yess I ran into this problem today when trying to find a decent LSP for Fennel! there are basically no decent Lisp LSPs for Neovim at all. all of the Lisp tooling is on Emacs instead and there is no way Iām learning a second editor thatās at least as complex as Neovim is lol

timixretroplays@digipres.clubBehold, the first prototype of my amazing new invention: The reverse one-way screw! The natural counterpart to those anti-theft screws used to attach license plates to cars, the ROWS can only ever be unscrewed, not driven in.
To use it, simply already have it installed somewhere, and unscrew it like you would a regular screw - attempts to reinstall it will simply result in the screwdriver safely slipping out of the head, with no risk of it actually being driven back in.
