Reply to macros are setting my hair on fire rn by musou

thanks for the helpful comments everybody. i'm writing Elixir instead of C in this case, but that just goes to show that you can have this problem in any language with macros. i remember feeling this way about some lisp code in the past, too.

Reply to On TikTok, people are fuelling surveillance culture by Moonside

the cultural shift towards ubiquitous CCTV in the 90s and then the rise of cell phone cameras in the 00s paved the way for this new cultural norm of "if you're in public you consent to being filmed", and i absolutely hate it. whenever i'm in a public place i'm worried i will end up in a video like this and not even know it. i know i have a tendency to stick out, in a way that some people like to ridicule, i just thought i had largely left the need to worry about that behind when i finished high school.

oh goodness. i'm so sorry if i hurt yours or anyone else's feelings by that remark. i am also autistic, i wasn't trying to make any kind of allusions to that at all. thank you for pointing that out. i will not make that mistake again in the future.

it's good to divide different track elements into frequency bands to ensure clean separation but when things get too narrow it starts to feel like picky eaters who can't stand when the food is touching on the plate. like to take dnb as one example i really hate how breaks have gotten so filtered over time to the point where all the crunch and splashy hats get squeezed into the tiniest box

Reply to In internet Zoom meetings, I like to have my webcam on while everybody is waiting for everybody to join and such, and then turn my camera off when people start to really talk about business by cute_spider_ni_srsly

honestly if i could keep mine off all the time i would. a long time ago before slack + zoom existed i worked at a place that used IRC for work chat and teamspeak for synchronous meetings and it was so awesome to be able to focus on what people are saying instead of like, what to do with my hands and remembering to look at the camera etc

Reply to So in what games did you enjoy the story and why? by Moonside

most of my favorite stories in games have already been suggested here, but one i didn't see mentioned yet is Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. it's a violent and emotionally heavy story. i can't recommend it to everyone for that reason, but it meant a lot to me when i played it.
