Not to mention those interactive movies from the early 90s games that also didn't take off because they were sorely lacking in the game department

Depending on the specs, I might be paying more for those, even used, than a SBC. The joys of Brazilian tech markets...

Ugh, i've had to write some Selenium tests where I had to come up with weird ass Xpaths because not a single fucking element had an ID and over half would spawn something in a different div

Looking at the Energy/Time ratios (lower is better) on page 15 is also interesting, it gives an idea of how "power hungry per CPU cycle" each language might be. Python's very high

ACKSHUALLY "last man standing" was a game mode in Unreal Tournament 1999, so the concept was there for a long time

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

I really recommend everyone to read the article. Shit somehow only gets worse

Not only is the asshole a rapist, he also tried to drown one of his sons because said son confronted him after catching mr "model citizen" with his hands on one of the daughters' private parts.

Those reunification therapy sessions? The mother has to pay the $370 per week alone when it's just her 2 sons attending. There was also one session:

She said she checked on her children during the session and found one of her sons curled in a fetal position on the ground in Bassett’s office, but Bassett ordered her to stop addressing what the mother termed the serious needs of her children.

She said she fears the reunification therapy is harming her boys, whom she described as crying uncontrollably, having explosive outbursts and expressing thoughts of self-harm after attending Bassett’s reunification sessions with their father.

Ms. Basset, the "reunification therapist", deserves some jail time as well
