@Mr_NutterButter It's basically the same dungeon crawler gameplay loop. Explore each floor, fight enemies, collect items, and find the exit to the next floor. Each floor will have a shop somewhere to buy items. Occasionally, there will be a boss fight.
@mk @theorytoe you missed the point. containers just make things harder. they are nice rube goldberg machines for shit languages like python which are hell to deploy.
when just installing everything from packages, things will receive timely security patches of the distribution.
when using VMs, one has to upgrade a few VMs for this. not great, not terrible.
with containers one has to hope that some image down the stack will be upgraded to include the fix, while the whole setup provides worse isolation than VMs (which already is prone to leakage). with containers the isolation is essentially the same as for plain linux users and chroot. no improvement. cgroups limiting resource usage can be set by the init system, i think systemd does this already.
containers sure have their use case, but mostly they are a crappy solution waiting for problems.
in the end the image is a meme which makes the point that ftp-ing a directory full of php scripts worked better than all the modern shit.

Tried to add random enemy placement to the dungeon, but they all appear in the same room. I realize that the common way to do RNG in C and C++, srand(time(NULL)) uses time (in seconds) as a seed, and since the loop obviously runs multiple times per second, I'm getting the same results.
I think my solution would be to use my own RNG algorithm with a seed that increments every time it is called.
@intentionwebdesign Nobody needs to be "getting into people's inboxes" 🤮
Yes this shit Google is doing is a problem - for recipients who can't get actual personal mail or automated reports they actually *want to get*. Blocking small businesses from spamming is not a problem.
@lanodan I bet they are used more to disrupt classrooms with that annoying beep than as an accessibility feature.
@hachi @ArdainianRight Why are there always bath toys when it comes to shit like this?
@Tadano Doomsday Clock is fear mongering bullshit. It's just to get people to scream for a one world government.

>So basically most of imageboards these days are just controlled by govs just trying to subvert each other using anons as useful idiots in any way possible.
It should be obvious. Anonymity + IP hopping allows someone to make it looks like there are more people who agree with your opinion.
@fbe5e80ec8db5c439e2582d5799d25e2fe8b958b1edf595a173ae1c8aaf46077 It really shouldn't be a surprise because these proxies are ultimately band-aid solutions to Big Tech. The only viable, long-term solution is a mass exodus from these platforms, which I don't see happening anytime soon.
I wasn't even aware that there was a new Deus Ex game in development.

I knew that Elon Musking buying out Twitter was just a psyop since day 1, but I never expected for it to be this bad. At most, I thought it was just to prevent the alternative media from embracing alternative platforms like the Fediverse.
Well it looks like I won't be able to lurk Twitter anymore.
@Tadano @ArdainianRight @vriska @markmann @koropokkur @GrungeQueef He would probably find it better here because there aren't that many Nintendo haters on here.
@coolboymew @mia Speaking of which, I miss when blogs and other sites allowed you to comment without an account. Even Blogger/Blogspot had an option to comment completely anonymously. Now, people think that that kind of practice just leads to imageboard culture when that has never been the case from my experience.
