killing yourself to own your enemies is the gayest shit, it didn't work for the emudev and it didn't work for FREEPALESTINE.

She's made a mistake and instead of correcting it (easily just taking the damn thing off) she displays it with pride. No such person is worth marrying. Imagine the amount of extra problems she would cause you throughout your life.

It's an indicator that they're an animalistic barbarian. It's the modern equivalent of putting a bone in your nose. Forget about bad politics, it's just a sign of a total lack of self-respect.

Women sperg out at men criticizing any female vices online because it's always about them. I very much hate noserings way worse than tattoos, and they instantly render any woman I see unwifeable, whereas tattoos are more of a case-by-case issue. And I don't think my opinion is that uncommon. But women only see complaints about them and start crying about how mean everyone is.

You know what's FAR more "selfish" than wanting to keep what you've earned? Wanting to steal what someone else has earned but you have not.

If so, it says something about the quality of public schools.

for years i've dreamt of having my own tile-based RPG engine that would make lo-fi win95/macOS 9 spiderweb software style games like Realmz or Exile or Avernum

after so much hand-wringing about being unsure about the feasibility of building one from the ground up (the ground in this case being the love2d framework), i started yesterday. a couple hours later i've got the beginnings of a 2d tile editor. scrolling tiles, random terrain generation, drag and drop all work.

this is something that took me months to mould AGS into doing using a bunch of hacks and various script modules. there is no doubt now that i was trying to build a house by swinging a screwdriver at nails.

there's this theme in game development i've heard over and over: "if you want to make a game, never ever build your own engine." i've even given people that advice over the years. and after 12+ years of doing this stuff, i realize that i gave some terrible advice.

AMD has said that they'll be open sourcing more of their software stack and documentation in the future. Now "open source" can be a vague term. The license matters. Time will tell if they follow through. I know it won't satisfy all but more of their stuff being FOSS is better than less.

NEW Article - Debt From Above: The Carbon Credit Coup

Latin America is quietly being forced into a carbon market scheme through regional contractual obligations – enforced by the satellites of a US intelligence-linked firm – which seeks to create an inter-continental "smart grid,” erode national and local sovereignty, and link carbon-based life to the debt-based monetary system via a Bitcoin sidechain.
