why is Overwatch 2 the only hero shooter that’s still alive in 2025? of the four that I’ve tried it’s my least favorite

Introvert Islands are pure genius and should to be standard issue in all cafeterias.

Western AAA studios only know how to make three different types of games:

• hypersweaty PvP SBMM esport bait with microtransactions
• basically just non-interactive movies but sometimes you get to do a little combat as a treat
• Ubisoft

I have learned that 95% of the effort of making a webapp is not fun, and consists of reading the docs for things that you don’t care about and then groaning as you learn that those docs require you to read more docs for more things that you don’t care about

Fun fact: one can get an Anne to hydrate by turning the water bottle into a stim toy. The valve produces a satisfying click when opening, and filling the included cup has such good waterfall noises. :neocatfloof__w:

consider a rowan

• fox cryptid gf
• supernatural kitsune powers (will use then on you)
• loud
• bad at video games (you can always win vs her at Mario kart)
• will get overstimulated and bite you
• constantly needy and affectionate
• not smart and wants you to explain everything slowly
• will hide your things in the void for fun
• horny switch
• cooks for you (you Will enjoy spicy food)
• bad jokes that only it understands
• emotionally dysregulated
• looking at it for too long means it will claim you for its own

I ran into a fucking HDG post on reddit

I wish I could blacklist it there but it was an image so blacklisting wouldn’t have even worked (that’s another advantage of alt text, I guess)

here’s my impression of what an ancient babylonian clickbait thumbnail about agriculture would look like

MORSE looks like it’s going to be really good when it comes out. I fucking love games where you have to learn something new in order to play

I would probably play the demo endlessly until it comes out if it weren’t for the fact that it doesn’t save my settings so I have to go into the options menu every time and change all of the morse timings

Somehow landed on the NetBSD manpage of sleep(1) and they seem to have a rather unique take on what is considered a bug.

I remember this!
This is how you do a bug bounty.

I really didn’t want to make a post like this because it makes me feel pathetic, but like. Honestly, if anyone here knows someone/somewhere that might want to hire an entry-level programmer with HTML, CSS, JS, React, and some amount of Java and C++, who generally has an easy time learning languages and that sort of thing, I would really appreciate being sent their info.

And I don’t mean “Here’s a job listing I found” because I’m doing plenty of that, I just don’t have connections and apparently those are absolutely vital. Entry level people just are not getting hired right now especially in tech and it’s rotting me inside that I’ve spent 2 years searching and gotten nothing.

I’ve never been formally employed but I have a bachelors from a pretty solid school and have done some paid workshops to improve my skills a bit. I’m an incredibly fast typist, I have pretty good communication skills, I’m generally pretty solid with problem-solving, etc. I legitimately feel like if I got something I’d be able to do well in any role I’m trained in, I just can’t get my foot in the door.

hmm okay so I almost have everything that I need in order to host #GAGSProject for everyone to use… except for one problem that I just can not figure out

for some reason if I try to use async #PRAW on PythonAnywhere, it fails with an error saying that it can’t connect to #reddit. but if I use regular PRAW, it works completely fine

on my own computer, both async PRAW and regular PRAW work and so does all of my GAGS code. so I have no idea what’s different about PythonAnywhere that’s causing this problem

unfortunately I basically have to use async PRAW in my code because the alternative would be that every single search would freeze my entire webapp for like 1-2 seconds, which would make it an unresponsive mess if more than one user was searching at a time

okay I think I finally found a sane way to structure my CSS so that it lines up with the abstractions that I’m using in my HTML generation code, and it is now significantly more comfortable for me to use. it’s still pretty awful a lot of the time, but at least I can tell at a glance which CSS rules are for which components of the actual webpage

also I’m still waiting for reddit to approve my API key request (I haven’t heard anything from them at all) and at this point I’m thinking of just using a workaround that is probably against ToS instead
