@reportbot @hachi Okay, this is actually kind of funny, even though anti-natalists are the scum of the earth.

@PhenomX6 I really want to try the MSX ports of all the NES/Famicom games like Castlevania, Metal Gear (even though that series actually originated on there), and Dragon Quest.

But the one thing that I did like from C# was the built-in getters and setters. I wish both C++ and Java had them. It saves a few keystrokes by not having to use parenthesis.

@Moon There was some clip of some movie that someone mentioned to me where someone actually dies in their sleep and their last living moments was actually a bad dream before dying.

At least using C++ means that I get to use Vim again.

Well, I think I'm getting a grip on the quirks of C++ and SFML. I think I'm getting a hand of actual pointers and manual memory management.

I don't plan on publishing this btw this is just me getting use to everything which is why I'm using the same sprites from my previous game.

@DarkMahesvara @Giganova8 Don't forget about self-hosting your games on your own website.

@Giganova8 "steam monopoly" is still the funniest meme.

Origin
Uplay
Heroic
GoG
Microsoft Store
Twitch/Amazon
Discord
Itch.io
BattleNet
Bethesda Launcher
and more

all before EGS tried to "save pc gaming" :zt_laugh: if there ever was a monopoly it was because nobody wanted to use anything else since none of them could even with wish to compare to steam (except maybe GoG) :shrug:

not to mention that steam since at least 2015 is investing in preventing the actual possible monopoly which is Windows/Microsoft Store by pushing linux (obviously out of self interest too).

@chjara Plural systems are the most fucking insane freaks out there. It will be a cold day in hell if ActivityPub has something like that.

@ambos @ArdainianRight @Senator_Armstrong @PhenomX6 They still understand the concept though. They still know that you can send email from a Gmail account to Yahoo, Outlook, AOL, or whatever.

People referring to The Mastadon Network™ as "this app" really makes me go: What The Fuck?!

@charliebrownau @PhenomX6 @ArdainianRight @Senator_Armstrong I think things would have been different if social media was decentralized from the start. Hell, even less than two decades ago, normies were much more computer literate than they are now. They actually knew how a file system works instead of it behind hidden behind "apps".

@PhenomX6 @ArdainianRight @Senator_Armstrong Honestly, the fediverse shouldn't be that hard to understand even for normies. It's basically the same concept as email.

@ArdainianRight @Senator_Armstrong the outsiders don't realize what the fedi is. It's all the people they pushed out over the years from every community they controlled not only building their own but doing so in a hard to shut down manner.

There are no central mods to complain to period.
