Created solid tiles, a couple of enemies, knockback, and the sword. I also divided the screen. There will be a hud on top, but right now, it is blank.

I never understood the stigma of the word "cunt". To me it's no different than any other swear word, but to others, it is offensive as "nigger". The common response is that it's "derogatory towards women", but so is "bitch", and that word isn't considered nearly as offensive.

Also, men are called cunts too. In fact, cunt.com redirects to a Wikipedia article on a male British politician.

I will call anyone who truly pisses me off and enters my personal hall of shame a cunt, regardless of gender. Deal with it.

Excited for the possibilities of Nostr+git integration. I want nothing more than the people to be off GitHub, and for self-hosting to actually be feasible.

@iska @binkle Have you checked his blog? He actually believes this shit. He even wrote a book.

@PurpCat I remember Epik banning imageboards after the 8chan-linked shootings.

Keyboard version if you play a lot of DOS games, dual screen version if you like to emulate Nintendo DS games or have GameFAQs open. I like them both.

@Moon @adiz @StefanEJones @adam @amerika something along the lines of simplex chat could solve this

https://simplex.chat/

Some features:

basically you have no ID (or hash or phone number, etc) associated with you. You add people out of band.
however, you can optionally have a temporary ID to allow people to add you easily (this temp ID can be revoked or changed at any time (e.g. if you start getting spammed on it))
if A has a chat with B and A has a chat with C, then C cannot prove to B that C is chatting with A
federated approach to msg delivery (no IP leakage)
msgs are E2E and you can switch the severs you use to send msgs
Uni-directional msg queue (A sends msgs to B via server X; B sends msgs to A via server Y)

@LukeAlmighty Thankfully, I can't think of a single Capcom franchise that I'm really a fan of.

The war on agriculture is concerning. They are blaming it for so many things 🙄

"We have to remember that BRICS was originally created by Goldman Sachs. It can be argued that BRICS is nothing more than the eastern wing of the global system, perhaps controlled opposition, or at best rebellious provinces within the global system.

I do think BRICS countries are trying to become more assertive within the global system. I think they really are in conflict with the U.S. and Europe. The idea though that they are counter-globalist is something we have to wait and see.

I've always said the Duginists, the Eurasianists, are really just counter-imperialists, they're not anti-globalists, they're not anti-imperialists, they're more like counter-globalists, counter-imperialists, since they want an imperialism or globalism of their own, a globalism where they are the hegemonic force rather than the U.S. and Europe."

@coolboymew Personally I hate Tik Tok alone for destroying the classic video format for these stupid shorts that now permeate and ruined other video hosting platforms and the root of the issue is because the broccoli heads with ADHD can't be assed to spend more than 30 seconds watching a video.

>Getting bullied for not having a certain phone, social media or something else others take for granted. Fortnite skins were bad enough.

15-20 years ago, kids were bullied for not owning the latest game consoles, not being allowed to watch PG-13 movies, not being allowed to drink soda, or having an early bedtime (or a bedtime at all if we are talking about late elementary school or early middle school). There is always at least one kid in every elementary school class that is raised like this. I was one of them in some cases.

>I was brought up having a 'family computer' I was the main user of. The problem of having kids being glued to them for hours is worse than having a tablet that can be picked up and put down IMO, but I wouldn't mind it so much if they were using it to learn how stuff works.

Not to mention that if you have multiple children, you will have them literally fight over the computer. Case in point, my older brother introduced my younger brother to Steam, Counter-Strike, and TF2 a decade ago. He was also introduced to things like Smosh and Minecraft, so he was horribly addicted. He would get into fights with my sister over the computer and she just wanted to check her Facebook. I would've been hooked on the computer as well (I just got into programming at the time), but I was forced into doing extra-circular activities.

You also have the problem of kids downloading too many freeware and free-to-play games over the Internet and eventually downloading malware on accident.

@mangeurdenuage @lina @coolboymew Schools really don't have any authority when it comes to social media. They can block it, but they really only moderate for literal threats, doxing teachers, giving answers to exams, etc. In my state at least, it is illegal to film or photograph anything on school property due to safety concerns.

Sports teams are generally more strict about social media though because it is voluntary. They can kick you off the team if you are caught sexting or talking shit about coaches or school staff. I knew someone who got kicked off of their cross-country team just for saying "nigga" on Facebook.

@coolboymew @lina @mangeurdenuage They give away free iPads and don't even bother restricting them. They can't take them away if children aren't using them properly because they are required for all students.

@mangeurdenuage @lina @coolboymew Meet like minded parents in your local area and start a home-schooling pod (basically, home school a few other children at the same table).
