Turning your house into a #smarthome can look like a great idea on paper...

BUT it's also a total #privacy and #security nightmare: depending on what you decide to use, you're putting live feeds of your home on the internet, a complete map of your house, voice recordings of your kids, and a lot more.

Let's see why the smart home is, in most cases, a dumb idea (unless you spend some time doing it right, of course):

@sjw @graf Take one of the bags and flick it at him. It scares the shit out of them if you want to keep them out.

@offset Thanks. I don't know if I intend on publishing it though. It's just me practicing object management. Previously, I used C# and MonoGame. C# is garbage collected, so I'm not really used to pointers and memory management.

Door now has a sound effect.

I've also realized that the way I'm storing assets in RAM is inefficient (I've actually knew that since the beginning but I haven't bothered to fixed it). I need to implement an asset manager class and have each object store pointers to said assets. Right now, each object stores entire textures/sounds when they should be storing pointers instead.

@Hyolobrika @yangwenli @tyil @AnarkioCrypto@liberdon.com @cjd @demitasse @bot I think it was bitejo. There are others but I don't remember them. I've bought something using crypto only once and it was a couple of books.

All the "you're perfect as you are, idk who you are but I love and accept you no matter what" shit is fucking retarded

No man except God is perfect. Everyone has flaws and room to improve. This shit is just a coping mechanism to prevent improvement and the desire for it.

Sure, keep being exactly how you are forever, I'm sure it's a great idea...

@beardalaxy I can never have a laptop that lasts me more than two years. Granted I used them way too much. I currently don't have a desktop PC.

When we initially conceived of revising the OGL, it was with three major goals in mind. First, we wanted the ability to prevent the use of D&D content from being included in hateful and discriminatory products.

Imagine calling your license “Open Game License (OGL)” and trying to limit speech.

@ItsSkyDragonz I reported his ass. I'm tired of seeing unspoiled porn.

Player position is now defined in the map file. The second line of numbers determines the player's x and y position (in tiles).
