I have yet to read this piece, but let me just say how much I appreciate the availability of book piracy nowadays. I'd be trapped in a prison of unaesthetic ignorance without it, for sure.

It's almost conventional to write about how I still buy books and want to support authors etc. after admissions like these, but eh, why bother? It will take a long time to come up with alternative systems of supporting creative labor.

This has the appearance of not having written any tests whatsoever! Amateur hours.

Actually I didn't mean to contradict that. I feel like what the artist finds sexually attractive is basically a list of floating disembodied traits and objects. They need to be brought together in humanoid form, but the object of arousal is not the whole but its parts.

It's like they're fetching hotness criteria from a database and the artist is trying to only pass the bare minimum the specification requires. Like code golfing

That game looks cool, even ambitious! Thank you for suggesting it. I won't have access to it any time soon, but it will certainly earn a place in my backlog.

I honestly do prefer the problem solving process on Linux. Solving problems on a Windows desktop is finding a tutorial with instructions to click (as the best case scenario), which may or may not be up to date. Clicking the right fields takes up a lot of attention, somehow. I find command line and text file stuff to be clearer a lot of time and you can build up some conceptual understanding over time, even if the tools could be better without legacy cruft. E.g. bash is not a fine programming language, Unix commands are needlessly cryptic ('cp' instead of 'copy' and 'mv' instead of 'move' or 'rename' kinda suck. But learning basic command line usage made me way more efficient and it was also fun.

I'm very ok with newer titles, I'm just impossibly out of date with gaming! Just didn't have the machines to stay up to date for 10 years. But my pov is that late 90's to early 00's was a special period for stories, especially in RPG's. Maybe it's parochial but it's my pov.

It's different though. You see, when things suck in Windows, you have to use it, but when things suck on Linux, you get to use it!

That's great to hear. I have struggled with poor parental relations myself, though they have improved after they've accepted some of my personal boundaries.

What I like about jstpst is that

1. it's public
2. it's dynamic enough that I can actually contribute to - that is, post on to - it easily.
3. I don't need to write a blog to get my thoughts out.
4. Its design is clean (if unexciting)
5. it has new content everyday but not too much.
6. I have also customized its style to my liking - a lot actually, basically transformed it - so it's pleasant to use.

Hope it went alright!

Custom themes my friend. Hop on the Saturn Valley theme for the optimal experience.

The first echidna to join the fandom is already fucking dead.

It's especially tragic when you consider that there was never a rule banning dogs from playing baseball.

Tbh it's true that there are/were scolding social justice oriented people who were what the term originally referred to before it got taken up by the right wing, the current bête noire of critical race theory is like an order of magnitude more removed from reality.

I used that today and woah

I only believe in real computers with wheely wheelies. Instead of this fake '1' and '0' shit!

Even more a reason to revisit it!
