What are the best games that are not on big-name game stores like Steam, GoG, Epic, etc.? in c/[email protected]

[–] TheV2 6 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I haven't played it in a long time, but I always enjoyed Super Tux Kart. It reminded me more of the Moorhuhn / Crazy Chicken Kart games than Mario Kart. In general, before Steam Proton made Gaming on Linux almost free of any hassle, I spent more time with free and open source games like Nethack or Battle for Wesnoth that are available in many Linux package managers.

What's something you grieved for "too long"? in c/[email protected]

[–] TheV2 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's not really grief. Thankfully in my young life, I've yet not lost anyone, close to me, beyond my own decisions. But it takes me seconds to let go of people without ever expressing how much they mean to me. Then it takes me years or forever to let go of the thoughts.

If I reduce it to the shows where I watched more than a few episodes:

La case de papel: The start of the second season quickly turned me off, because it seemed like everything just got bigger for the sake of it.
Vikings: I tried many times and I did always like it, but for some reason I never felt the urge to finish the first season.
Altered Carbon: It's already an exception that I watched the first season despite not loving it that much from the very beginning. Therefore I didn't even bother watching the second one. It's also one of these Netflix shows that suffers from sex sells overload.
Narcos: I think I stopped midway through the third season, simply because I wasn't interested in that kind of big action, although obviously I shouldn't have been surprised.

What is a TV show that was one of your favourites, but just went on for far too long? in c/[email protected]

[–] TheV2 3 points 4 weeks ago

Many anime, but Naruto (Shippuden) is my personal icing on the cake. The manga itself was already stretched out and the awful amount of fillers in the anime, especially towards the end, gave me a lot of headache.

It's absolutely surreal that this actually happened. I've done so many reality checks. Please don't let it be just a dream.

To me in most cases it's the opposite. I don't watch video tutorials to solve a specific problem (sorry, Roal Van de Paar!), but to get into something. And therefore I prefer to see the problem solving in between and the workflow for that activity. If it really tends to waste my time, I just skip forward.

I'm glad I saw this post and codeberg's statement before the spam notifications.

I will do everything I can do to stop this.

I can see that this can be interpreted as a sabotage. If they are dressed like a clown. With a gun and a pack of sandwiches.

The 9th Movie (2024) (youtu.be)

Joel gathers his friends at a remote cabin to celebrate the completion of his latest feature film in his 12 features project.

This movie is part of Joel Haver's challenge to create 12 feature films in 12 months. I just watched it now and I think it's the most relatable, yet insane and perhaps one of my favorite movies of all time. So even if I might not feel the same way tomorrow, I have the urge to share it now.

Productivity vs muscle memory/knowledge (self.shell)

submitted 3 months ago by TheV2 to c/shell

11 comments fedilink

After a long time I'm in a situation where I sometimes work on a temporary system without my individual setup. Now whenever I might add a new custom (nushell) command that abstracts the usage of CLI tools, I think about the loss of muscle memory/knowledge for these tools and how much time I waste looking them up without my individual setup. No, that's not a huge amount of time, but just out of curiosity I'd like to know how I can minimize this problem as much as possible.

Do you have some tips and solutions to handle this dilemma? I try to shadow and wrap existing commands, whenever it's possible, but that's often not the case. Abbreviations in fish are optimal for this problem in some cases, but I don't think going back to fish as my main shell for this single reason would be worth it.

Terms for intentional anti-extensibility (self.programming)

submitted 3 months ago by TheV2 to c/programming

20 comments fedilink

Sometimes I create a solution to a simple problem. However instead of making use of the solution, I keep extending it unnecessarily. This is why for this kind of project, I want to systematically restrain my future self from adding new features beyond the initial vision e.g. by actively refusing generic and re-usable code.

What is the search engine friendly term for this approach or at least for this situation? "Ad-hoc programming" may be literally what I'm talking about, but in practice it's associated with unplanned happenings.

Fiction with recursive loop (self.books)

submitted 10 months ago by TheV2 to c/[email protected]

13 comments fedilink

Is there any kind of fiction where multiple stories are connected in a recursive loop? The connection could be a character who writes or narrates the story. e.g.

story A -> story B
story B -> story C
story C -> story A

Thanks in advance for any help!
