May I recommend taking it a step further and going for games that have no cycle in them at all? That is, finite games that you can play and actually finish, for good. That’s what I’ve been looking for a lot lately.

Some recommendations:

• The Talos Principle (puzzles with a story)
• Outer Wilds (best to go in blind, read absolutely nothing about it, not even the steam description)
• CrossCode (fast paced fun combat and a cool story and characters. Somewhat grindy but still finite)
• Beacon Pines (short and sweet visual novel)
• Chants of Sennaar (language translation game, surprisingly fun and satisfying)

Frankly, all of your points sound quite ignorant. Syntax is literally just a matter of getting used to it. Comparing HashMap ergonomics doesn’t make sense, you should rather compare to struct construction. There are many good reasons for different string types and number types. There are good reasons not to bake in async. Rust documentation is in the code for a very good reason and it’s actually really nice to read docs like that (obviously read it on docs.rs, not in the code itself).

I could go on but there are answers to all of your specific qualms if you just bothered to look for yourself.

Be the change you want to see in the world!

Based on OPs post history, they may believe that they masturbate too much.

OP: One or two times a day is not unusual. More than that may or may not be a problem. Speak to a doctor about any symptoms. Asking the internet is not the solution here.

I’ve had good dentists that have kept me mostly pain free. Hope you have the same. For me, it’s mostly about tolerating the amount of stuff put into my mouth at once, which can be uncomfortable. But it’s not too bad. You’ll be fine I’m sure :)

This is a good thread, thank you all.

At least from my perspective, manga and anime are mediums. They can be used to tell any story, and they are used like that. You can find manga and anime for any age group and in any genre. The medium is used for all kinds of stuff.

The problem with western comics and cartoons is that (at least from what I know), the medium is mostly only targetting kids or it’s superhero comics. It’s just so very limited.

For example, I’m currently watching Ancient Magus Bride. It’s a very non-traditional romance story in a fantasy setting with interesting characters and emotional dynamics. So far I’m really enjoying it. I simply can’t imagine a western cartoon/comic even attempting to produce a similar thing. Or well, perhaps I can imagine it but it just doesn’t happen for some reason.

Bare form dem som græskar og kranier. Det er ikke julekager, det er Halloween-kager.

Jeg er flere gange ved en fejl kommet til at prøve at checke ind med mit kreditkort 😅. Kunne være lækkert hvis det bare virkede. Jeg gad vide om det også ville virke for turister?

Watching Ancient Magus Bride now from your recommendation! I had it on the back burner for a while. Five episodes in, it’s good. Still curious what exactly will happen, there’s not too much of an actual plot. But I’m fine with it even if it goes on like this.

While there certainly is some blame on the programmers (to the extent that it is useful to even assign blame), I would say it is hardly fair to blame programmers for most mistakes.

Bugs are a fact of life - the presence of bugs can hardly be blamed on a specific programmer. Rather, it is a result of the resources assigned to a project and its quality assurance. Yes, at the end of the day it comes down to the lines of code written, but everything and anyone involved in the process up to that point (like designers, project managers, people managers and of course executives at the top) are to blame as well. Especially the decision-makers who deprioritized security or quality assurance are to blame, much more so than the programmer who wrote the line.

Yea I get that - although I kinda like the slow start, it makes the hook all the better. I also wouldn’t have minded Erased going on for a bit longer, I think Steins;Gate is like the perfect length.

Just watched it based on this comment. This anime is seriously good, definitely in my top 5s.

Have you watched Steins;Gate? It definitely has some parallels.

What is so great about this? Just watched the first couple of eps. First impression is not good: It seems like the classical mindless shonen fighting anime alongside pretty childish humor and a distastefully sexualized main female character. Her outfit is literally a bikini and she’s sexualized in the very first scene and in basically every scene she’s in since that one, wtf?

Wow det er godt nok surrealistisk.

Not better necessarily, just different. But yes, it exists alongside Lemmy. Hopefully in the future there could be many more alternatives.

What an incredibly elitist take. I personally think the fediverse should be welcome to everyone.

Uden at kende helt til konteksten så lyder det nærmest som mobning. Det lyder ikke som gode kollegaer i hvert fald. Jeg ville helt sikkert finde noget andet. Livet er for kort til dårlige kollegaer.

Jeg var for et par uger siden til en fest. Der var en der sad sådan lidt på sidelinjen i samtalen og fulgte halvt med samtidig med at han spillede Pokemon Go på to telefoner samtidig. Det synes jeg godt nok var mærkeligt. Jeg blev næsten lidt vred og havde lidt lyst til at sige noget men på den anden side var det også bare sørgeligt og han virkede tydeligt afhængig. Endte med bare at ignorere det.

Det sørgelige er at jeg ikke engang er overrasket.
