Computer games are no worse than hunting, board games, social game, or sports. It’s a kind of activity, which keeps your brain engaged, and some games also test your reaction. It’s a formiddable hobby, no worse than the others.

https://pioneerspacesim.net/ Although, after watching a few videos on how to play it, felt an itch to play Elite Dangerous. So haven’t played Pioneer much.

I think it was S3 Virge. Remember playing Tomb Raider with smooth textures.

Can’t stop playing Balatro since picking it up. There’s so many achievements to do. Even finished Jokerless challenge, took about month.

Otherwise Factorio, of course.

It is much better with a specialized strap, like this one for Quest: https://www.bobovr.com/ . Why standard one is so crappy, to the point of causing pain, is beyond my comprehension.

YAML for human-written files, JSON for back-to-front and protobuf for back-to-back. XML is an abomination.

Isn’t there rule 34?

Gopher, the Go language mascot mixed in with Rust language mascot.

A man came to doctor saying he has troubles with pissing his bed in the sleep.

• Everytime in my dream a midget comes and says “let’s pee together”. Then we pee and I wake up in wet bed.
• Well, next time when midget comes, say you’ve already peed. - doctor recommended.

Next night, the man is sleeping and seeing the midget again.

• Let’s pee. - said the migdet.
• I’ve already peed.
• Alright, let poo then.

You can’t, because in fact your brain really creates images.

Healthy person most commonly sees images based on the light their eyes receive, but based on the quality of information you may interpret it wrongly. Especially light captured by side sight – here brain draws a big part of picture itself.

People with schozophrenia can see and hear non-existing people like we see real people. It can take them a lot of reasoning to verify if person they are seeing in fact real.

That boils down to maps. With a few helper functions it’s not a big deal. I can’t remember when I needed to unmarshal JSON into map last time, tho.

I’ve already made this choice. Switched from C++ to Go, and now I never want to touch another language at all. Since I’m not writing kernels or embedded, Go is pretty fast for everything else. Not very popular in gamedev, but that’s just a lack of 3rd party libs, specifically native graphics support.

As for other languages, I can’t justify unnecessary complexity that is generally welcome by those language communities. Go is straight simple yet powerful, and I admire that.

Vim is the program that can beep and ruin files.

At least it doesn’t start with sudo, lol.

I’m around 20 years Linux user and I’m still installing various soft by curl bashing a script from their site.

I have to add that GPL licenses would hardly change the intention of creators of software not to publish their source code, instead limiting what libraries they can use and open possibility to sue for a fragments of code that could originate from GPL licensed repositories.

Not everyone writes open source. Let’s put the reasons aside, but GPL stuff is unusable outside of open source. MIT and Apache are the licenses that make code really free.

Diablo 2. Heroes of Might & Magic 3 coming next.

I might have more hours @ World of Warcraft, but that’s outright drug and wasn’t played for most of time voluntarily.

Very yes. But GPL license, while inteded to make IT world better, still makes life harder for common developers.
