I never see Cultist Simulator recommended but it's one of my favorites. It really captures the idea of studying the esoteric arts, and has a surprising amount of world building given how simple the presentation is.

Californian here. I used to do birthday parties as a clown or costume character, the parents were almost invariably drunk. Often incredibly so.

We need the valley, just kick out all the chuds first.

Not rapey enough.

Lol this is exactly why I made this post. I ended up using ComfyUI instead which has other, different python issues, but I got it working (kinda, no GPU but it's fine it works)

 

So I'm no expert, but I have been a hobbyist C and Rust dev for a while now, and I've installed tons of programs from GitHub and whatnot that required manual compilation or other hoops to jump through, but I am constantly befuddled installing python apps. They seem to always need a very specific (often outdated) version of python, require a bunch of venv nonsense, googling gives tons of outdated info that no longer works, and generally seem incredibly not portable. As someone who doesn't work in python, it seems more obtuse than any other language's ecosystem. Why is it like this?

Then you have a decision to make.

I think you're off the hook. For now. Depending on where you live, I'm sure you'll get your chance to vote against fascists. Seems to be catching.

Seems unkind to rats.

80gb is potentially a shit load of indie games. These AAA games are fucking huge.

I did this for a while, spying in fashy communities, and while I certainly don't regret getting information to my allies, it was terrible for my mental health. Important to know what your enemy is up to, but it's hard to live in it for any extended period of time and not lose objectivity. I was just SO ANGRY all the time. It poisons you.

I mean that their design is conservative and does not take risks. Even pretty cars are dangerous, this is unrelated.

You're right, but fuck are they stupid. Blues Brothers is about two poor white boys raised in black culture, and is a celebration of said culture. The bad guys are cops, Nazis, and racist bumpkins.

 

Never in my life have I felt so used by a game. Feels dirty. The video game equivalent of emotional abuse.

5 stars, would recommend.

 

I assume it has something to do with the sound cancelling. It uses white noise or something, right? I'm running out of nails to test this.

 

So I'm reading The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses by Jesse Schell and I'm quite enjoying it. I don't really have anyone else in my life who shares my game development interests so I thought it might be fun to put together some kind of regular discussion. I've got a pretty long reading list, would nice to have someone to talk to. Thoughts?

 

So I've been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I'm fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I've used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I'd love to hear people's opinions.
