WOOO TITLE DROP

If I had any faith in American school systems, I would suggest bringing back computer classes instead of just trusting "digital natives" to run into every toll booth unhindered. Bu…

Are you commenting only for the sake of commenting? This is not a very substantive addition; I'd say it's pedantic to say a divide that is "not [just] between smart and stupid peop…

LuaJIT was originally made with some x86 assembly wizardry so I'm not surprised to hear that the ARM version is worse.

Since we've stepped from interpreted language (Lua) to compiled-to-VM language (C#), let's go all the way down to compiled, low-level language (C) with Raylib! https://www.raylib.c…

I'm curious as to how you came to that conclusion. Did you run any tests, or is it just a general observation? What's your computer hardware like? This isn't an accusation of anyth…

Is this about Master of Blocks? There are a lot of free-as-in-freedom alternatives to (and clones of) PICO-8, but TIC-80 is indeed the most popular one, by far. And popularity is i…

The fantasy computer by 100 rabbits? I love their philosophy, I'm glad Varvara exists, but I'm personally not up to program assembly for a 4-color screen, and I'm sure many others …

For a small while I've had the idea of a [game engine/fantasy console/Scratch clone?] that comes packed with a bunch of example games. The example games should be good enough that …

The problem I'm pointing out is that it's a work based on a Valve property that fundamentally cannot be tied to the DRM because it's "just" a ROM. I believe this came up when the c…

If I recall correctly, there was also the issue that a Nintendo 64 ROM of their game would be fundamentally incompatible with Steam, which (as many forget) is technically their DRM…

I can feel my advertiser data being siphoned from my body already!

Yeah, it seems to only be a problem when you're a human being remixing the culture you grew up with. Meta can admit to soullessly scraping books they don't own for their for-profit…

Huh, didn't think I'd ever see anything related to Uxn/Varvara [1] make the front page for myself, though it has been discussed before. Neato. Haven't yet experimented with it myse…

never knew I wanted this until I saw it! this looks very fully featured and awesome, will keep in mind for the future

Please explain how a set of instructions for a computer can "wear out" and "require maintenance", Word 2007 still writes documents fine enough for me

Remember when the web was just for displaying documents? Yeah, me neither

My favorite use of this toy is making something for one scale, and changing the scale. I end up getting these unique ... I'll call them "harmonic textures" each time, even though t…

wAIT WHAT HOW Was there anything that pushed you forward? Some jank hitbox for the goal? I only got to 0.58 and I was sure it was the lowest possible time without maybe getting pus…

0.58 brute forced runs of the game until I got lucky https://youtu.be/s5bJMINot14 This is actually my second 0.58 run, I think that's the fastest possible time (without obstacles p…

Most of my better times were achieved entirely with a combination of lucky obstacle placements and an ability to hold W. It's not a good game, but it's definitely meant more as a t…

Make a plugin that interfaces with a CLI tool! Best of both worlds, I think!

I'd invest

The "license to rent a game" deal is a general grievance about Steam that is not related to the article. Also it is one that can be extended to many other services offering digital…
