@coolboymew Looks Good To Me, typical response to acceptable PRs

@coolboymew @NEETzsche relatable, I love Pokemon from my childhood but the mechanics of acquiring good ones and the whole post game or rather lack of it just make me angry. PokeMMO over time managed to make it even worse than core games too, with patches like "so we noticed people are breeding too many good pokemon so starting today the chance of inheriting IVs scales with how good they are with a chance like 1/800 to inherit the max 31 and also when breeding the mother dies lol".

And it's such a shame because contrary to others Pokemon has great competitive potential, too bad that it's inaccessible to people who don't want to absolutely grind their life away, outside simulators where you can just will them into existence with max stats and lvl 100.

Nintendo being the copyright Hitler makes it even worse, with nobody willing to risk the lawsuits by creating a similar competing product.

Asked for examples of sexual harassment at law schools, ChatGPT named a GW law prof accused of touching a student on a class trip to Alaska, citing a 2018 Washington Post story.

The law prof is real. The rest was made up.

@coolboymew @NEETzsche I once saw RO being presented as an example of great game design. In PokeMMO, by a guy assuring me that running on the same patch of grass for a month straight to roll a decent competitive pokemon is very fun and nerfing all other methods was a great design choice.

"Hey, can you switch instances? Your admin favorited a joke that I didn't appreciate once. Might need to block you otherwise. Oh, and that crowdfunding platform you use? Back in 2006 they let an organization I don't personally align with use their platform. You should abandon that. Also, -"

Shhhh. Let people enjoy things. I am all for being socially conscious but we can't boycott everything. We are so tired. Please go outside.

@thor is it just the biggest building around? Seagulls like to use updrafts created by hotter cliffs and walls to save energy while hanging out in the air looking for food and the like.

@Micheleyee@neurodifferent.me @thor I don't think any language has the capability to dethrone English after it has already become the de facto international standard. And surely not because of economic advantage, that mattered before when they were still competing on which will become that standard and there was not the absolutely insane inertia of having to convince everyone in the world who already learned it to switch.

IMO the only way English can be replaced is when automatic translators reach the level where two people can just speak different languages and communicate, at which point it's as likely that the dominant one will become some artificial language that makes sense like Esperanto than simply the native language of the current economically strongest empire.

@czerwiec @AubreyDeLosDestinos @didek @parpok @smigol dosłownie stworzony w celu tworzenia prostych skryptów wprowadzających interaktywność do stron internetowych. Cały design stawia na wygodę przy tworzeniu skryptów ponad wygodę w tworzeniu i utrzymywaniu większych aplikacji. Dynamiczne i słabe typowanie, struktury danych tak plastyczne że nie można prawie nic zakładać o docelowej strukturze w pamięci bo w każdym momencie możesz dodać cokolwiek gdziekolwiek. JIT-kompilatory do tego opierają się na dzikich hackach i naginaniu specyfikacji a i tak co chwila muszą rekompilować kawałki kodu kiedy coś się w nich zmieni bo język zwyczajnie nie daje im wystarczająco informacji żeby przewidzieć w jaki sposób zostaną wykorzystane. No i nazwany JavaScript jako Java-like scripting language. Czym innym ma być niż skryptowym?

I don't mind automatic conversion of gifs to webms, gif is relatively a very outdated and wasteful format. What I do mind is that now I can't download the original gif and if I download the video I can't upload it as a """gif""".

@thor this gets immediately funnier if you read "driving (me nuts)" instead of "(driving me) nuts"

TIL that K9 (as in police dog) is a play on the word "canine"

@AubreyDeLosDestinos @didek @parpok @smigol to jak najbardziej język skryptowy, jak widać po nazwie, designie, oryginalnym przeznaczeniu… Po prostu jest to język skryptowy nad którego interpreterami poszło bardzo dużo roboty i w tym momencie jest JIT-kompilowany do względnie szybkiego kodu.

Choose your fighter:

@JuliusGoat I just want to say that after years of reading crappy takes it feels almost cathartic to read the word "Nazis" referring to actual literal Nazis.

Good point too, but man I'd never guess that a mention of Nazis would ever have a positive effect on me lol

Question I've never considered before: where the fuck do babies get gut flora from? It's not like there's any digestive system connection at any point and we're not koalas for our babies to literally eat shit.
Answer gained from some cursory searching that may be more or less accurate: they might be intentionally transported from the mother's gut to mammary glands by immune cells via the lymphatic system.
huh.
