"File's done." Yes, Elwood, the file's finally done.

Nice to see some Tom7 love here! I feel like he is the Incredible Hulk of obsessiveness. His rabbit holes are the deepest. Once he gets something in his head, there is little that can keep him from plumbing even the deepest depth of a topic - making the improbable possible all in the name of subverting expectations.

Cool. Thanks for the explanation. Is there any significance to 1 + 8 = 10?

Can someone explain this one for me?

Longdog on DJ laptop. Edit: DJ is the busker.

Also, I laughed out loud when Bandit was putting Bluey to bed and they cut to Chilli putting Bingo to bed and she was buried under a mountain of stuffed animals.

Though I agree that skeuomorphs are generally concrete rather than abstract representations, ignoring the obsolescence aspect means that almost any design element that looks like a concrete object (however stylized it may be) would then be a skeuomorph, right?

Your camera app icon that looks like a camera lens - skeuomorph? I'd say no because cameras still have lenses.

When you use your camera app and your phone speaker plays a sound that mimics an SLR shutter clicking even though your phone's camera doesn't use a shutter curtain - skeuomorph? Yes, it mimics something familiar from a previous design no longer necessary in the current design.

I am a bit of a word nerd and recognize that words can change in meaning over time, but I've always understood skeuomorph to be in line with my usage. Can anyone point me to an alternate definition?

I asked this question on this post on a different instance, but would there be issues being that the code compares a float to integer zero "0"?

I know this is /c/Progammerhumor, but I wanted to pull on this thread a little bit for my own edification. I'm a Python guy and have been a while, but I've dabbled in other languages. The screenshot says "MonoBehaviour" which makes me assume this is mono or a .Net-like language (you know what happens when you assume).

If your player health is a float, would mono or .Net have an issue comparing the float with integer zero "0"? I mean, it seems like floating point precision may make it impossible for it to ever "equal" integer zero, but it also seems like the code isn't accounting for that precision error.

Am I overthinking this?

Honest question - what about these are skeuomorphic? I mean, I know that the Save button icon being a floppy disk is skeuomorphic because we don't save our files on floppies anymore, but what about these are no longer necessary to the concept?

Feiertag means "holiday" in German.
