So I watched Synthetic Man's review of Kirby Air Riders and he makes a point about multiplayer games that don't get updated in that they get boring once someone knows the ins and outs of the game.

He points out how he was able to memorize all the spawn points in City Trial and how his brother won't play with him anymore because of it. I had the exact same experience when I played 007 Nightfire with my brother, many years ago. We memorized all the grappling hook locations on all the maps and there was no limit on the distance you can grapple to. So we were just zip-lining across the map and we couldn't kill each other because we were quick to hookshot to the other side. That's why it's hard for me to get into multiplayer games, it's quick enough for me to find every exploit.

I think this gets into the "victim as virtue" idea. I remember Helen Dale (Australian lawyer/author) talking about how Roman society didn't have a concept for virtue in victimization. Works like the Book of Job didn't really resonate in Roman society. Dales makes the argument Romans didn't believe in refinement through trial, although I question that stance since they did have The Odyssey and other popular works/theater that fit the standard heroes journey.

If Christianity was the moving force that pushed the idea of virtuous persecutions (e.g. "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven."), it would make sense that people would eventually seek out persecution as a means of increasing their virtue.

#AskFedi, Is there a way I can send messages through #DeltaChat from a script, so that I could use it for sending myself notifications (e.g., reminders) from a separate Delta account?

/cc #CLI, #commandline, #scripting, @delta

You've probably noticed in the previous video that the player would make a "bump" before landing on the platform. I fixed it.

"But it's not capitalism it's...." Nobody cares, it's indefensible.
This isn't a new pattern limited to the AI bubble, it's the same scam just becoming more blatant as power consolidates.

thinking about the guy in 2020 or so who posted the fediverse was great because it didn't have crypto people on it and I tipped him 10grans and he went apeshit

Just started programming on my next game dev project. Right now, I only have movement and the gravity flipping mechanic implemented, but more is to come!

Some people plug their ears and go "nah nah nah" and keep believing a story they literally know nothing about except what the TV told them about it. They immediately demonize anyone who contractions their ideological head-cannon. They cannot even entertain the idea they can be wrong, to the point of reporting me their mods and ignorant of the fact I'd get the message too.

Ironically, these are the people who would probably condemn witch burning and "Nazis" when in fact, they'd be the first to say witches should be burned and the last to speak up in 1940s Germany.

RAM prices are going to cause software performance to be a national security crisis.
Good time to be proficient at low-level languages I'm sure....
