Okay, I'm back to tell you that this at normal price is greater than any Steam Spring Sale discount. I've been having such a blast with the full version and negative regrets:

[–] Flagstaff 1 points 1 hour ago

Geez, I delayed tonight's shower by literally crouching on the bathroom floor for, like, almost 3 hours playing through a couple of modes in the full game (beat Raid on Hard on my first time and then continued Random); I finally caved and bought this on the Play Store instead of anything in Steam's spring sale, ironically, and have no regrets lol. The only other game that gripped me this much in the past 12 years was FTL: Faster Than Light. I gotta pull myself away from this thing, lol!

The problem is how aggressive it is with its Personal Dictionary use; it auto-applies shorthand instead of requiring you to tap in the autocorrect pane. I've sorta gotten used to it, but it's quite a departure from every other keyboard I've ever used.

Indeed, with rice being a major deity in mine!

Looks delicious, but unfortunately a lot of mayo is in plastic or made with inferior oils. It'd be nice to try to find an alternative to mayo, lest we make our own.

Unfortunately, Draw has generally been horrible at editing PDFs for me; the immediate change of fonts making the doc entirely unusable...

Is there anyone using Pixelfed for that?

I would like to, but I've been unsuccessful at influencing people to migrate. But it's the only federated counterpart to Instagram, so I think it's still worth trying to propagate among our circles.

eventually I’ll probably meet someone who uses Pixelfed in real life.

Hey, I'd be glad to show you around Milwaukee if you ever visit!

[–] Flagstaff 1 points 10 hours ago

What?! That's insane... I can't even think of any app or game or anything that costs that much... I guess unless you buy an IAP for some bulk subscription for a year or more or something, but that'd have to be an incredibly useful or business-needed service...

Likewise, and the fork rocks, yeah!

Apparently, my phone (which is an intermediary across PCs) didn't sync properly and now I have a couple of sync conflicts of spreadsheets (specifically LibreOffice Calc's .ODS files). These are... kinda large tables I've got here, with multiple tabs.

Normally with .TXT files I can easily use VSCodium's file-comparison feature to instantly spot highlighted line discrepancies on both sides, but how might you resolve spreadsheet conflicts?

Is there no other way than to page down monitor-size by monitor-size in each file, Alt+Tabbing from one to the other and visually inspecting for changes every step of the way until you spot something (hopefully)? I can't think of any less-tedious way...

... apart from, hmm, I guess my own folly in not noting version changes at the top of each file. I guess I'm only used to doing that with actual code... but I may have to start doing so with all synced, regularly edited files...

Fully agreed, and apparently this is rare. Marry me! lol.

[–] Flagstaff 1 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Hmm. Well, it was helpful for me; $9 USD fell to $7, and this particular game's dev has said it will never go on sale. Frankly, given how incredible it is (and how generous he is with its demo that has no time limit), I agree that it shouldn't!

Thanks, though I've already watched it and... KFH is light years ahead! I really look forward to KFH 2.

 

Check your account; I'm not sure if this was targeted at me or if everyone got offered it, but I used the offer on Slice & Dice after weeks of repeatedly playing its demo and am loving it!

 

Man, I don't understand why Catfriend1 just puts a literal period or bullet point for the version notes. It always freaks me out into wondering if the account was hacked and if the app was compromised and would cause file deletion or something. This app has become too useful!

 
  1. Post a comment
  2. Begin editing that comment
  3. Press the pencil-icon "submit" button without actually having edited anything

Expected outcome: nothing happens to the comment
Current outcome: the comment gets a pencil mark

I don't remember how I ended up doing step 3 (I think I meant to edit yet accidentally hit the "submit" button), but that was my observation of this fringe issue, anyway.

 
  1. Go here https://lemmy.today/comment/14903795
  2. Hold your finger over any of that comment's links
  3. Copy the link

Expected behavior: the share panel should close

Current behavior: it doesn't, which sometimes confuses me into thinking I didn't actually tap the button

 

It was their first time experiencing VR and one of them said they could play QubeFall for hours! It's such a bummer that that game never made it out of its prototype stage.

 

If it's in the same line as the username, it gets overrun by the domain (for those of us who like to see user domains).

Darn, if not.

 

I've played some games for which I want to make comms, but I'd rather make them on a gaming-related instance like Lemmy.zip rather than my registered one. Is this possible or would I need to make and manage a second account on the target instance?

Or could someone there just make /c/FTL and /c/SliceandDice? Lol.

I'm trying to learn SikuliX, but the documentation is incredibly hard to understand. I'm trying to get it to simply press Ctrl+A just to practice, but this doesn't seem to work and causes it to type only a literal a:

wait(0.5)
keyDown(KEY_CTRL)
wait(0.5)
type('a')
keyUp(KEY_CTRL)

Ultimately, I'm trying to figure out how to get it to press Ctrl+Shift+A. Any help would be appreciated!

Or does it?

I know we were once nothing, but it is still terrifying and depressing to me to think about returning to this. In fact, as of late, I've been unable to not think about it: the loss of all experience and all memories of everything, forever. All the good times we had, and will have, with anyone or anything ever will totally annihilate into nothingness. All our efforts will amount to nothing because the thoughtless void is ultimately what awaits everything in the end.

The only argument against this would have to be supernatural, like another cause of the Big Bang or somehow proof of reincarnation, but if my consciousness won't exist for me to experience it, then what does it matter either way?

There is no comfort in Hell, either. The anvil of death weighing down, infinitely, on all values and passions is becoming unbearable for me, so I could really use any potentially helpful thoughts about this matter.
