As a backend developer this could equally be real front end stuff or satire to take the piss out of it. To me the entire DOM stuff is as understandable as magical lore anyway.

Shadow DOM trees are very real, and I feel like a Wizard trying to decrypt ancient runes every time I have to deal with them, so you're not far off.

The browser has an internal model for representing the HTML document, called the Document Object Model (DOM). This DOM happens to be tree-shaped, because HTML is tree-shaped. And certain logic in a browser gets applied to subtrees, like e.g. most CSS rules.

Sometimes, however, you want a subtree to not get affected by what's going on in the main tree, for example when including an SVG into that tree, or if you're offering JavaScript library with a pre-built component.
And yeah, that is what the Shadow DOM does. It also shields the rest of the DOM from what you're doing inside the Shadow DOM. And there's certain mechanisms to selectively allow interaction across the shadow boundary, e.g. when providing a pre-built component, you might still want the user to be able to style parts of it.

Everyone knows you just keep guessing until you get it right.

Don't worry about how janky or slow it makes the UI. That's basically a requirement for the modern browser.

Thank you for not shitting on frontend. Have a wonderful day

It wasn't meant as shitting on front end. I love a good gui. I just don't understand half of the things you guys work with.

I work mostly with business logic. Integtations, APIs and process automation etc. GUI stuff is quite far from my day to day so I don't have any incentives to learn at work either.

That made me think it'd look good as a card:

ive only played a few hours of eldin ring what the hell is a shadow tree or Dom node?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Imma need to get an Elden Ring theory off my chest.

You remember that one fight against the two omens on the bridge to the divine tower, where suddenly everything goes black?

THAT FIGHT IS INSIDE THE VEIL.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which veil? Shadow land veil?

But yeah this fight is so... Out of place? I mean those are just two Standarte omens as a boss fight? And no other boss does something like the port to black.

Always thought there must be more to it.

Also is there an active elden ring lore community on Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Yep, I'm 99% sure that they are somehow pulling us into the veil that separates TLB from TSL. Maybe they are stuck there?

It would be one thing if it were just some random enemies, but it's specifically Omen, and I'm pretty sure the location lines up well with where the veil should be. Miquella needed Mohg's Omen blood to cross into TSL (and to allow his followers to cross). That can't be a coincidence!

Sadly doesn't seem like such a community exists yet. I'd love one, but I'm bad at promoting that stuff (see my Invincible community). If you'd like to participate, I'll gladly open one up!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Interesting. I try to participate but I can't promise anything.

But maybe thats a good reason to talk about a few things that are on my mind about the game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

No pressure, come around when you feel like it!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know I would love to join that community! I'm still unfamiliar with most of the story, but I'd be psyched to join!

Siiiiick! I'm still putting off doing the thing in my first playthrough, but I hope to be able to participate soon!
