For uplifting, I like chill games where people are nice to each other.

Hades has you piece back together your family and has a lot of great dialog.

Carto is a cute puzzle game involving rearranging maps where you help people on your way back home.

Haven is a young couple trying to make it on an alien planet.

Children of Morta is a family fighting together against an apocalypse.

Dreamscaper is a rogue lite where you get mechanically stronger through self care as you work your way through trauma by hitting it in your dreams.

Ni no Kuni 1 and 2 are longer jrpgs in a Studio Ghibli style world.

Grandia is another jrpg that does a good job at capturing an adventurous spirit.

Lack of fedoras.

How else are you going to open your files in nano to do the programming on the prod server?

Plus it has markers for variable types just like Esperanto has suffixes for parts of speech. Wall was a linguist, after all.

Esperanto always struck me as more perl-like with each part of speech having its own suffix like perl has $ for scalars, @ for arrays, and % for hashes. Though perl is probably more like a bunch of pidgins…

Production errors.

LGTM (lunatic gunner targeting me)

You want an award? I hate working with JSON without a prettier.

A few weeks? How do you stay employed? How do you even feed yourself at that pace? Blocked on making a sandwich, I’ve got the wrong type of bread.

It’s three lines in an editor config file to standardize the indents across any editor: https://editorconfig.org/

In vscode, adding two extensions is all I need:, yamllint (if you don’t use linters, I don’t know how you do your job in any language) and rainbow indents. Atom had similar ones. I’m sure all IDEs are capable of these things. If you work at a place that forces you to use a specific editor and limits the way you can use it, that’s not YAML’s fault.

At a certain point, it’s your deficiencies that make a language difficult, not the language’s. Don’t blame your hammer when you haven’t heated the iron.

So it’s easy to enforce locally but you don’t have to. And it’s easy to see indentation on modern IDEs and you can even make your indents rainbows and collapse structures to make it easier to see what’s going on, but I guess since some people want to write it in vi without ALE or a barebones text editor, it’s bad? Like there are legit reasons it’s bad, and other people have mentioned them throughout the thread, but this seems like a pretty easy thing to deal with. I work with ansible a bunch and YAML rarely is where my problem is.

YAML mixes 2 and 4 spaces

I think that’s a user thing and it doesn’t happen if you have a linter enforce 2 or 4.

My conversations here must not count, nor have they improved my opinion.

Ok.

Damn, dude, not every hunter is a deer population manager.

Hunters do hunting, surgeons try and heal people. In one the killing is the point and in the other the cutting in incidental.

Avoiding factory farmed animals but still eating animals is something a lot of people say to pat themselves on the back, but I don’t buy it.

Anyway, I can see this is a really personal thing to you and you’re really upset by it. Don’t think too much about why you get defensive about it, though, or why you have to carve out exceptions to try and make it less creepy.

Lol, come into a community about unpopular opinions, see people adverse to those opinions, get surprised and upset?

Since you mentioned eating

No, I specifically tried to avoid it, but go ahead and ignore that 🤦

Hiking is a thing you can do in nature alone or is groups that doesn’t involve killing, so I don’t understand your point about that making hunting less creepy. And even if most of the hobby isn’t the actual killing, the rest of it is planning, setting up for, fantasizing about, talking about, etc., the killing, so that’s not very convincing either. Like I get that if you have, say, cooking as a hobby that you look up recipes, buy ingredients, and eat, but nobody that has cooking as a hobby buys ingredients to not cook (raw vegans excepted 🥁🥁🛎️).

And telling me about how different flesh tastes depending on how you kill them sounds pretty creepy.

Thanks for not bringing up eating! I really appreciate it.

Yes, population management is a real thing. Not denying that, and I probably should have mentioned it.

I still find the people that want to participate in it for fun very creepy.

Your bedroom and your code sound dirty. No dessert until there are no more dirty clothes on the floor and all your merge conflicts are resolved.

Sticking a hook into something to drag it around and then temporarily suffocate it, yeah, that doesn’t seem pleasant.

Yeah, comparatively. I guess in human terms it would be the difference between manslaughter vs premeditated murder. I find the whoops it’s dead less creepy than the let’s plan and carry out a killing.
