Probably running on code from before 2000.

I watched it a few years ago and all I could think of was how the kid was responsible for most of the problems he ended facing. Sad? Yes. But a "YOU are making a bad situation worse" sad, because the boy wanted to "prove" he could be an adult, despite being a 10yo with a younger sister to care.

Seriously, his aunt complained he was just hanging around, playing all day and not helping. His reaction? "You old hag, I don't need you!"

Yeah. Somewhat ironically, my dad also had to deal with a partner gaslighting him a few years ago.

I've played the old silver box DnD games from 1988 and 1989. The magic effects were listed in the clue book instead of the manual. Talk about purposefully asshole design

Unless the values on the other database are strings instead of numbers, 12345.000 == 12345 will be true

I only realized after breaking up. The first girl loved to talk me down, saying some of the stuff I liked was "just a phase". The second was super manipulative, to the point I often wondered if I should start writing stuff down.

Have people tried with other PC handhelds? I'd like to see the comparisons

The funny thing is that we're also seeing small computers like raspberry pi and similars being very open and, save for some of the heavy graphics stuff, being perfect as daily drivers for casual people.

Meanwhile, I don't expect phones to become open at all

To fully understand, I believe this video is very... uhm, "educative"? Scalie Squad vs. Furry Force (very NSFW) by college humor

I've been thinking about some games that can be done in order to get people drawing, mostly as a means to give some variation to kids I've been teaching.

So far, I've found/thought about the following:

  1. I go through body parts, one at a time, like "torso". Everyone draws it. Once done, they pass the paper to another person, then I state another body part, rinse and repeat until it's fully done
  2. One person has to describe a thing or creature without naming it, everyone else has to draw according to what's being described
  3. Give them 3 lists, one of "who", one of "where" and one of "doing", where they pick one option from each and have to draw it, so others have to figure what it is. For instance, "(Who) Medic / (Where) Space / (Doing) Playing games with friends"

What else would you suggest?

Alt-text:
I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you're a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

| just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

I once had the Japanese version of Digimon world 2 for the PS1 and I remember it having a separate game mode that, by default, would put you in an arena with Metal Greymon vs Were Garurumon. For whatever reason, the fight played fully automatically, no input needed, but if you messed around with buttons, you could sometimes change the attack of M.Greymon to the breast missile. After the fight was over, you'd be thrown back at the main menu.

I've never seen anyone comment on it and even searching right now doesn't show any results. So, does anyone know what it was supposed to be and how to "properly play" it? Cutting room floor only mentions that western releases completely removed all compatibility with the Japanese gadgets and graphics related to that
