I can recommend a big stupid project where it’s not a big deal if you fail.

Until recently, for me that would’ve meant “run Windows programs on Android,” mashing together Wine and e.g. Unicorn Engine… but now there’s like six different “userland emulators” vying for preference. FEX-emu, Box86, others with even sillier names.

I did manage a bespoke 8-bit FPS. That only took about two months. And then I’ve been idly tweaking it over the last two years. Splitscreen multiplayer, as a joke, was maybe not the best idea.

What’d take both time and space is some extremely low-end VR. I am convinced that Quest-ish headsets could cost, like, fifty bucks. The big players keep iterating clever hacks from a decade ago. Solving those problem, instead of avoiding those problems. Light should be collimated by default, which means a point source, which is any single LED. Rendering has to be detached from software performance, which means projecting the nearby world to e.g. floating dots instead of directly making a flat image. Inside-out tracking is at least the right idea, but it doesn’t have to be especially good in order to ground an inertial estimate.

Yeah, that guy’s not joking.

It’s not some kayfabe act. He is sincere in all of that posturing assholery.

Block and move on.

If you’re using Twitter, fuck you.

I don’t care why you’re still on some fascist manchild’s propaganda box. Leave. You’re already here - you know alternatives exist. Stop visiting the Nazi bar.

Sometimes an engineer has an idea and gets offended that it doesn’t exist.

We’re like wizards. The miracles you want are practical, mundane, boring. The miracles we want are whimsical bullshit. Guess which ones get done sooner.

I have no idea why you’d do this.

But bravo.

A feature that costs Blizzard nothing, given an obscene price larger than any game or expansion they’ve ever sold, dangled with rationality-undermining time pressure, and using some bullshit tokens for artificial scarcity.

Only legislation will stop this.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

If we allow this to continue, there will be nothing else.

If we allow this to continue, there will be nothing else.

Only legislation will fix this.

Randy cures cancer instead of properly staffing a project.

No, troll, the botnets part.

Was that why people couldn’t vote for Hillary?

Or Kerry?

Or Gore?

It’s always something with people’s excuses for letting things get worse and feeling smug about it. This is worse than usual - but the system hasn’t changed, and your inaction still makes things worse. Y’think open American fascism is gonna make anything better?

Does your action help Gaza?

No.

So any moralizing based on that is wrong.

Yeah! If you don’t vote, nobody becomes president!

The system marches on with or without your input.

Some people think the trolley problem is just a funny template.

Literal victim blaming.

The userbase’s downvote-happy inability to take criticism barely matters.

The other half of what’s wrong with .ml is the blatant censorship all over the goddamn site.

Sony gave up on VR when the PS5 launched without it.
