oh no

i have never had adderall but "they" put me on dextroamphetamine as a kid because i never did my homework, and it did not do great things to my brain meat

i dunno about "NOOPEPT" but the rest is pretty solid tbh

:[

muons are very relatable because i am also in a constant state of decay and my life seems a lot longer than it actually is

it makes me super happy that anyone else is using it! let me know if you find anything that looks weird!

i just realized i should have posted this in /f/games instead of /f/killallgames

ahhhh i wish it was on switch i love tetris!

i only regret that i have but one upvote to give

yeah sorry it's a bad joke about how js does not let you specify what type of data its functions should accept

i have some regrets

i remember being on that website but i do not miss it

holy cow this sounds like the worst concept for a video game i've ever heard

this is one of the best things i've ever seen

there's a lot of cool ideas and good analysis in here. i definitely think that counterstrike was the first time i realized there was a massive split between what i wanted from a multiplayer FPS and what a lot of other people wanted. i don't even really consider the arena shooter subgenre i love so much to really be an FPS in anything but a technical sense anymore, because the market and culture surrounding FPS games as a whole has been so dominated by demands for more immersion, realism, simulation, and of course a whole lot of bootlicking military propaganda.

i don't necessarily agree with his conclusions though. i think all the reasons he cites are good reason to discard the idea of FPS games representing a genre of game altogether. the way i see it, it's not that the genre has fallen out of favor or popularity, it's that it expanded to the point where so many different design choices and priorities have made talking about it as a unified category not really make sense anymore. Arma, Quake Champions, Gone Home, Serious Sam, Overwatch, and Portal are all very different kinds of games. they just happen to share a control scheme and camera perspective.

!! is a trick in languages where values other than false count as "falsy" in boolean operators, like in ruby if you have a value that might be nil you can explicitly convert it to false with !!. so if you are a-gender, or anti-gender, or have some other value for gender that doesn't count in some sense as the affirmative presence of a gender then !!gender makes it false. and in my experience at least, for some cases like that, individuals do self-identify as trans and in others they don't.

certainly i fit that description myself and i do self-identify as trans in contexts where it's safe to do so

this is an interesting point. when i talk about gender with people, i think most i've encountered define trans as like, (gender != agab), but some define it as !!gender && (gender != agab) and i think the tension between those definitions can make talking about this stuff more difficult than it needs to be.

i am trying to think about how to put that in a way that doesn't rely on programming metaphors but i'm not sure i can

it's so good. i stayed up til 3am finishing it and working on a fan remix of one of the BGMs and i think today i'm gonna replay it

peach is worst fruit

guaranteed to turn whatever you're doing into a dramatic scene in a music video

aaaaaaa i'm gonna be dodging spoilers all day

ooh that's a good idea

a prequel about the monster-human war would be pretty cool. but i think it'd be pretty hard to write something like that with the same positive tone and message as the original.
