@sanity honestly, I don’t like XML very much at all because I find it hard to read but I would agree - I think it’s much more readable and accessible than JSON

I hate everything to ever come out of the JavaScript ecosystem

except WebAssembly. that actually seems alright. I just want a way to run it that isn’t through JavaScript

JSON is not an acceptable format for user-editable config files. JSON is an extremely bare-bones data serialization format that doesn’t even allow comments

bare minimum, make the config file JSONC instead. even then, the lack of trailing commas is pretty annoying

honestly though, just use TOML. YAML has a pretty maximalist spec that seems a little cursed but even that is better than JSON

I am blown away by the quality of this fan film

I don’t like how they gave Samus a voice but they fucking nailed the atmosphere and visuals

METROID: THE SKY CALLS // a Rainfall Films Intergalactic Odyssey

CWs: scifi violence, horror themes

I don't play OPTIMALLY, I don't CARE FOR THE META, I don't play TO WIN, I PLAY TO HAVE FUN, and if I don't have fun, THEN I STOP PLAYING

what if we... for the climactic soundtrack... put our leitmotifs together
aha ha , just kidding.. unless..?

@yon I totally agree when it comes to the newer games. Mario Galaxy felt so weird and bad to control that I couldn’t get beyond the first real stage

but, Mario 3 is one of the only platformers that I’ve enjoyed playing. I guess the raccoon Mario does feel a bit weird to control - especially the P-speed thing and tapping A to hang in the air. but otherwise I guess it’s become kind of like my baseline for what a platformer is. that and Mario 1

Mario 64 controls like ass though

omg they finally fixed Element’s jump scare notification sound

reinstall your system
everything is broken
maybe try manjaro
distro-hop forever

hm I’m starting to have this feeling of “okay, I could learn this language, but I can’t really do anything cool with it can I? just a bunch of stuff that I can already do much more easily in Python”

so maybe learning new languages isn’t fun per se, and my next tech project could be learning to use the Löve engine or something like that

I’m actually kinda considering learning to do NES dev things, because I’ve been wanting to learn how to use 6502 assembly ever since it was in RedPower. and it would give me an excuse to learn C and use it for something cool instead of, y’know, the same things that I can use Python for except it feels like I have both hands tied behind my back and I’m worried about corrupting or deadlocking my OS or something

That’s right!
