re: gamedev
@Binkle Thanks. Programming enemy/boss patterns is is no easy task.
gamedev
Changed the boss's movement pattern. I'm basically trying to emulate the final boss of Super Mario Land in terms of behavior.
I'm probably also going to change the sprite as well because almost all of the other bosses use this same sprite (finding free assets is hard and I'm not a good artist).
@PhenomX6 Using one of those for that purpose was a pain, but that was almost a decade ago.

https://www.newsweek.com/texas-secede-us-2023-gop-pushes-referendum-1717254?amp=1
Under a section titled “State Sovereignty,” the platform states: “Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, the federal government has impaired our right of local self-government. Therefore, federally mandated legislation that infringes upon the 10th Amendment rights of Texas should be ignored, opposed, refused, and nullified.
Holy based!
“Texas retains the right to secede from the United States, and the Texas Legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto.”
Referendum won’t do shit, but I love the idea of putting it back in people’s minds.
@PhenomX6 @Shadowman311 @nk Going with tip 2, check your post style and word choice. Frequently used words and catch phrases can also give away that it's the same person. Some people also have unique posting styles like writing in all lower case or putting one sentence per line.
Using the same posting style, word choice, etc can give away your identity. People on imageboards have caught shills from other sites that way, despite them being anonymous on imageboards.
And another tip that will be valid if these Red Flag laws do come into fruition: avoid talking about politics (excluding gun rights/control) on gun/hunting communities. Yeah, it should be obvious that it's not a good idea to act like a "Nazi" on those sites, but even ideologies like right-libertarianism can be considered extreme by the mainstream. I bet some will try to disarm people who post Gadsden flags because they're often used in alt-right protests.

@nk @xianc78 @Shadowman311 Here's some tips I've found over time and oh boy there's a lot:
1. Consider what every post you make would look like with your real face and name attached to it. This is honestly the most important one from experience and I follow this all the time. As a bonus learning to paraphrase things will likely convince more people.
2. Never reuse usernames across more than one site, and especially not on any website where you're making yourself a target. Case in point, making a poa.st account is riskier than making a FSE/SPC/bae.st account. Ditto with posting on kf.net (not so much kf.cc, the fedi instance).
Pick an identity from say a movie character or some shit, or something popular + random numbers, or shit go on one of those "identity generator" sites.
3. Be careful when signing up for other sites/joining other Discord servers, especially if they're balls deep in enemy territory and especially if you're going to fuck with them. Use a VPN and different email address. Common sense these days I know, but lots of people still make this mistake.
Plus, you never know which wagie working at the ISP call center that day might give out your address. Remember the very first scene in the movie Hackers once the guy's released from prison where he's calling up the guy to get access to the TV network and pretending to be a tech guy? That happens IRL a lot.

Or here's a more harmless prank call involving social engineering (some of the nastier PrankNet calls revolved around this too which led to $$$ in property damage and lots of charges):

This is more likely with you know, tech industry centered troons and the like.
4. Get your name removed from the "people listing" sites by searching yourself. Protip: voting in many states also gets you onto these and self doxes you. Whoops.
5. This is important too, don't make enemies if you don't want them. This sounds stupid but remember, I know a crusty troon who was whining that "nazis" wanted him dead, before admitting that he was not only doxing people but sending them to his antifa buddies for "direct action". That's like bragging that you're a gang member telling his homies your address.
6. Don't namedrop too many of your interests and hobbies and especially if they're niche shit. If they're niche shit, someone from your past is far more likely to say HE'S THAT GUY.
7. Don't trust anyone too much. Ricky Vaughn (the e-celeb on Twitter who named himself after the Major League character) got doxed in part because of this, and because a lot of political scenes on the fringe devolve into purity spirals and online fights. The same shit goes on with antifa groups all the time.
Plus what if your friend gets a FBI visit and they seize his devices and find your edgy memes? Remember the guy in CVille got 419 years in prison where the evidence that it was a "hate crime" revolved around edgy memes on his phone, and the Jogger case had the same thing apply. Edgy shit that you said while angry can and will be used against you.
8. Probe files for metadata before you post them, .doc/.docx files are the worst offenders along with image files. On a related note, don't fucking click on Google Drive/Docs links unless you're in a private tab/vpn not logged in. If you're logged in it'll tell the uploader who is looking at it.
9. If you're streaming, use another PC or OS install to do it. This is another way people get doxed or have embarrassing shit (usually fetishes) outed. Ditto if you're going to be leaking stuff. If you have a work or school device ALWAYS assume it's backdoored/keylogging/monitoring you.
10. This circles back to 1, but don't post photos of yourself doing anything illegal, like doing drugs or showing off illegal guns. Of course with Red Flag laws about to pass, don't even imply you have guns or might be a part of an illegal political group. Don't put gun maker or gun boomer stickers on your car, don't open carry in Lowe's while wearing an infowars shirt.

@icedquinn @Moon @mystik Regardless of what economic system, I think freedom of association is important. Some people just don't get along.

I think having the "Be the change you want to see" mindset has been very beneficial for me.
Tired of Windows and MS? Changed to Linux and I'm happy.
Not comfortable with Google? Moved pretty much all my stuff outside of Google's hands, except one old email I barely use.
Tired of Youtube's ads and stuff? I use now Freetube.
Twitter gives me headache? Deleted my Twitter, use Fedi now.
Need cloud stuff? Self host.
Can't find addon downloader on Linux for Elder Scrolls Online? Made my own! :)
@TwistedEagle Can they just secede from the union already?

Texas GOP Passes Resolution Declaring Biden ‘Not Legitimately Elected’
@PhenomX6 Maybe he's LARPing as a soy-leftist just so the government won't take his guns away once they start implementing red-flag laws.
@PhenomX6 Given how crazy the climate and overpopulation agendas have gotten, it wouldn't surprise me if more young men are getting vasectomies than old/middle-age men.
