lol I know it just hurt my brain reading “families is”

Holy shit. I’ve been wondering about this for so long

Looking forward to “Backyard Ultimate Team” and all it’s associated micro transactions

I want to say it was Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon, but it very likely was the earliest Math Blaster, or one of the Reader Rabbit point and click adventure games.

Possibly, it was that Barney game for one of the earliest Macs that came with a giant ball mouse to teach kids how to use a mouse.

IDK, the first I remember falling in love with was Super Smash Bros. on the N64. It made me desperately want an N64

This incident will be reported

I learned C++ in my first handful of programming classes. The only other languages I learned for other classes included javascript, PHP, and MySQL. I was assigned a project to be written in Java but never learned the details of the language.

At my current job, the system I work on mostly is all Go, and while I now know Go interfaces are not as novel as I did when I first learned they existed (because I had to learn Go), the mechanisms in Go for interfaces and goroutines just feel so cool to me that I can absolutely envision myself wanting to build anything well-suited for OOP in Go.

But that would require me to be passionate enough about programming to want to do it more than 40 hours per week lol

Sure, you don’t need it but it sure made it easier for me and helped me understand what I was lacking

That’s what I was thinking too. Regretting investing so heavily in Nvidia for sure right now

I think I agree with you. I was honestly extremely tempted to buy a PS5 for the single player sequels Sony’s put out recently (Horizon FW, God of War R, and SM 2) but it’s become clear they’re all coming to PC so fuck it I can be patient.

Here’s hoping Sony wises up and greenlights a PS5 (with a lil PC side release) remaster of Bloodborne

How is this the end of the cycle? Is it because there are rumored mid-cycle upgrades like the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X coming soon, or have console cycles really shortened from 7/8 years to 4?

I got my brother, who is not Linux-savvy, set up playing Clone Hero on his Steam Deck while I was thousands of miles away and it played with no input lag basically out of the box on SteamOS. If you’re looking for a good Guitar Hero experience on Linux with lots of custom songs, Clone Hero is for you.

If you’re looking for Guitar Hero with characters, venues, and no input lag on Linux I have nothing to suggest. :/

oooooooohohohohohoho you really got me with that last one.

Though at least I’m only addicted to R6: Siege and not CoD or Valorant like a fucking pleb

Edit: a MASSIVE /s I do unironically love Siege and it is actually what’s keeping Windows installed on my PC, but I admit it’s in no way a good reason to keep malware on my machine

… but why?

So if the ancestry of programming languages can be traced back like C# => C++ => C => B Then what came before B?

Short answer: Realistic

Long Answer: I think there’s a time and place for both. Idealistic can be very fun and comfortable to fall back on. However, like your typical “Jack Smith, highly-trained and deadly secret government agent” protagonist, there’s way too much idealistic romance in pop culture to the point that I believe it skews how many people expect relationships to work. That’s commonly unhealthy and occasionally dangerous, so I think we need more popular depictions of realistic romance, and by romance I mean all kinds of relationships. ESPECIALLY close, tight-knit non-sexual friendships between men and women.

Did you just wake up from a coma that started in 1985?

CDs are better than vinyl for every reason that MP3s are better than CDs. That’s not news to anyone.

Vinyl is not “better” by any of the metrics you mentioned, but I prefer it because if I feel like buying a physical medium for the purpose of collecting music, I want my music to actually be physical. I don’t want a collection that boils down to 1s and 0s, I want one that more closely replicates the original source of the music.

That’s the reason I like vinyl, even if I do listen to digital music far far more.

I can appreciate the thought experiment that is coming up with a framework for interplanetary timezones because some people probably enjoy the challenge.

Simultaneously I posit that it’s ambitious as fuck to assume that humanity is going to get off this rock before we burn it to the ground, or to assume that whoever gets off this rock will have enough people and resources to start a society that can grow while the society on Earth also survives.

Furthermore, as a software engineer, I say no thank you. Earth and other planets will function off of digital systems that never EVER communicate with each other, and we will be happy that way

I named my daughter Rubyonrails

We call her “On” for short

I’ll definitely check out Endeavor. A lot of people are suggesting it. I’m far from ready to install a distro without assistance. I struggle hard enough when I have a GUI to work with already lol
