Maybe it's counting an empty shell.

The Federation will do anything to avoid the metric system.

Golfing is optimization.

Adoption is a feature you can't design.

Ah, a practitioner of Extreme Go Horse.

6502 especially. It's super goofy compared to anything that made the jump past 8-bit, but that's because it was designed for handwritten bytecode.

I would not recommend the NES, though. The video chip is fiddly and awful, and to this day, nobody's sure what color anything should be.

Even then - ) { on a newline.

Not an Agile issue, but a "people fucking up Agile" issue. The priesthood of MBAs will adopt whatever terms people like and just hammer them into place to keep doing the same old shit.

We tried baseball and it didn't work.

Tabs are literally designed for aligned indentation, and they're configurable for clientside viewing. There is no excuse for spaces. I don't care if your goddang function arguments line up once they spill out onto another line. You've got deeper problems.

Was Olias of Sunhillow a warning?

... oh, Anderton.

Nowhere to go but up.

Which is better than EA somehow.

Good or bad, that's never what any robot is for.

It's on GOG. I guess it has trouble running in Windows 10?

... why does this chicken have its dick out.

I propose a Red Faction retro spinoff. Cash in on the underused franchise and the modern boom-shoot glut by doing a voxel-based game where everything, and I mean everything, is destructible. Like if Teardown was a setpiece-heavy FPS pretending to be from the Delta Force / Outcast era. Low fidelity keeps costs down, the genre is weirdly underused for all its indie-demo examples, and if the immersive sim curse kills any sequels then they're only back to square one.

We are past the age of technology getting invented for the purpose of improving lives.

When was that, exactly?

The actual Luddites were put out of their high-skill guild jobs by the loom.

Conservatives don't know how comedy works. I call it the Yo Mama hypothesis.

When you were a kid, and other kids lied about your mom, you got mad, right? And eventually they'd say - relax, it's a joke, stop crying. And if you're reading this then you probably grew to understand the difference between saying something and meaning it.

I don't think every kid got there.

I think a lot of kids, maybe a whole quarter of humanity, only learned that jokes are insults you have to shut up and take. They're cruelty you're not allowed to get mad about. How would those kids act differently? They'd stop crying, mostly, when people told rude lies about their mothers. They'd snap back at other kids, telling rude lies about their mothers. From those events you'd figure, great! They get it. It's not real. Except... they only look right from the outside. On the inside, they're gathering a list of excuses for vicious behavior.

These people know what jokes look like. They're clever enough to build a punchline. They kinda get how you tell jokes. But they have no idea why you tell jokes.

People defending Dave Chappelle insisted "he's a comedian!" like that absolved all his opinions. I've walked those people through how jokes require setup that reflects sincere beliefs. (Like how "eat the rich" is a joke about classism and cannibalism, but it's only joking about the cannibalism.) I've cited the many times Dave repeated certain claims far from any stage. But these folks never come acknowledge that being a TERF is not part of the act. That's not how it works, in their worldview.

Being a comedian means he gets to say things you're Not Supposed To Say, even if they're things you absofuckinglutely believe. That's all they thought Jon Stewart was doing. That's why they thought Stephen Colbert was on their side.

The same people routinely parroted "you can joke about anything," which is equally revealing. They'd heard it because they insisted "you can't joke about [blank]!" even for the most benign, supportive, and inoffensive gags. And also for dead-baby jokes and antitheism. Point is: these types don't care about severity, because they don't care about meaning. They believe in blasphemy. They think condemnation, criticism, or even just speaking less-than-reverently about a subject is profaning something sacred, and chances are good they'll hit kids for doing it.

We told them every subject is fair game for fair jokes. They'd stop yelling, mostly. And from that event we'd figure, great, they get it. But on the inside, they still believe the issue is what a joke is about. They still think joking is an attack under agreed-upon rules of engagement. So of course funny black man shit on trans people. They don't like trans people. It's hardly a secret. What's our beef, saying he's not allowed to spout jokes full of prejudice and hatred? They're jokes. That's what they're for.

Aw. From the thumbnail, I was hoping for 3D shaders that somehow matched the cartoon. Transformers: Devastation pulled it off mumble-mumble years ago and looked friggin' incredible. I know it's mostly using environment maps for squiggly cell-shaded reflections, but just, god dang. The execution can be masterful.

Not accepting any weak two-X whiskey, neither.

Evolution doesn't run on "need."

Some baby Gorn will stumble to maturity, and those individuals should be better at killing, while being no less capable of reproducing. No flood of fresh-out-the-eggsac lizard mantises is about to outsmart the killiest Gorn of her generation.

Selection pressure is thus toward Gorn who can survive their own adolescence, or at least survive long enough to reproduce. Adult Gorn are a goal, if not the goal, even if getting there takes a few recursions. The genes want to be inside a cannibal with a spaceship.
