"Flip flappers", an anime

"Mage&demon queen", a webcomic

"Otherwise picnic", known to me as manga, originally a novel series. Don't recommend watching the anime adaptation

When I see these memes, I always rememmber Unreal Tournament 99, where female death sounds are decidedly unsexy, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEv6IB2TRAQ%3Ft%3D444 starting at 7:24

Maybe because of that "throat vibration" effect? I wonder if they got it right on the first try, or had a first draft and had to scrap it and come up with sounds that couldn't be mistaken for anything else

I asked someone on bluesky i follow what is mastodon lacking that they ultimately chose bluesky, and they said something along the lines "basic ease of use. The way it works is probably perfectly sensible to fediverse people, but I had an awful time there"

They do indeed have (abandoned) mastodon account with posts, so they did try. I don't know what they meant by it lacking basic ease of use, and I didn't feel entitled to ask stranger for more explanation. But it wasn't picking instance, since they already had an account on one of them.

The only thing I personally noticed is off is following people on other instances if you're not looking at them via your instance website Identity not being perfectly transferrable on mastodon. You can post a special "follow me there instead" post, but what if your instance went tyrant and wouldn't let you post it? Or just went offline? I think cryptographic identity would be more robust for that, but it would also mean user having to store private key somewhere, which would be even less user-friendly

Gee I wonder whitch instance author is from

Can't wait to have to show id on every website, especially ones on which I say what I think about my government (that jails people for that)

Sneaking giant bombshell as a last minute amendment – that sure reminds me of certain authocracy's legislative practices

Ctrl+c not copying on rare occasions. Even if it's my keyboard's fault, it could be avoided with some visual feedback to confirm to me that ctrl+c was registered ans clipboard was updated, so that I'd immediately know that it didn't work after pressing ctrl+c, rather than later when i switched to a different window/tab and pasted the wrong thing

The fact that i can't route audio between apps (without 3rd party closed-source apps). Why is something so basic not included into the system?

Registry

As a c++ dev: winapi. Right away you are greeted by windows.h adding loads of macros with common identifiers without any prefix to your preprocessor. That's a sign of things to come for anyone who has to use it. Maybe that explains lack of open-source audio routing apps: nobody wants to deal with windows driver development for hobby - and if that's the case i sure can't blame nobody for that.

For a moment I thought it was onion

Don't high-power lasers get reflected from any slightly shiny surface in an unpredictable manner and damage vision of random passerbys?

axiom verge 1 and 2 - good in different ways. i liked to put first on for long coding sessions, and the second expanded in interesting directions
transistor & pyre & hades - all scored by Darren Korb, but different genres. from first moment, transistor has such vibe in big part thanks to it's soundtrack, and is among my all time top games
Nier automata - won awards for it's soundtrack, clear to hear why
crypt of the necrodancer - rhythm game should have a good soundtrack, and it does
witcher 3 - the battle themes - like "silver for monsters" are unique style of action-y folk, very rare to find anything else that scratches that itch.
dusk - awesome and dynamic metal
risk of rain 1&2 - first game itself didn't click with me, but, oh man, that solo in "Monsoon" get me every time, and "Coalescence" is poignantly melancholic in a similar way to "song of the ancients" from nier - which is (a very high praise and) much more expected from nier's type of game than a "risk of rain"'s. "face of the deep" from ror2 from second is head-spinning in a good way
no man's sky - it introduced me to 65dos, for which i'm very grateful. that soundtrack is still probably my favourite album of theirs noita - low-key psychedelic, very vibes
unreal tournament 99 - and i think it's not just nostalgia, because one of my favourites - "mechanism 8" - is from the map i almost never played
"Ultrakill" - good soundtrack, and yet cyber grind tracks from guest composers are still my favourites. "The cyber grind" in particular is just exhilarating

individual tracks i overheard from games i haven't played:

old "touhou project" games - their soundtrack is full of gems, even if it's not my genre of game
system shock 2's "Med Sci 1" and "Engineering" - very nice, i want more of that and can't find
"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33"'s "Lumière" - made me wishlist the game just for having it
"Final Fantasy IX"'s "You're not alone" - very nice melody i like to whistle sometimes. considering playing it just for having it
original "Castlevania"'s "Vampire killer" rocks

Lost works of Sappho of Lesbos

Wish spell: (1) Duplicated a spell of 8th level or lower? No stress. (2) Did anything else with wish? Stress. #DnD

So the other things, such as making a valuable thing of up to 25000gp or undoing some effects of "deck of many things" and thing in the post, that are explicitly stated as something a wish can do are still stressfull. I guess they are listed because that should work without monkey-paw-ing, not because it's not stressful. Damn.

And the fragmentation certainly doesn't help The market is already small, and yet locked to single store exclusives still come out all the god damn time

Given how it probably undercuts growth of vr, I can only guess why would companies do that. Facebook in particular probably thinks it could be a monopoly, and doesn't want to settle for just a slice of the pie even if the pie could be bigger.

But at the end of day, doesn't app have to ask OS? At that stage, can't you spoof "positive" responce of unmodified system?

Then what's to stop them from making a law forbidding doxxing-law-abiding instances from federating with instances that don't force users to doxx themselves?

For that matter, aren't borders kinda inhumane and barbaric in the first place? They declare some people as second-rate. They trap people in poor dictatorships, but are oh so permeable for conflict minerals or products of sweatshops

Could your point be that generally more ways to become citizen is a better than less?

cause i never played the game🤷 . But now that you mentioned it, I did hear and like "The pantheon" and "Setting sail, Coming home"

wait, i remembered more:

"Trine 2"
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Pinball space cadet
"Ar Tonelico III" - "EXEC_COSMOFLIPS/. "
"Rama": Main theme
"Dishonored 2": Main theme
Super hexagon
"Red alert 2": namely Hell march 2, In deep

now, following games used existing albums, which feels like cheating... but they are games with good soundtracks so:
"Capsized" used edited "Solar Fields - Movements"
"Neurovoider" used "Dan Ternimus - Wrath of code"

Tankies.

What made me leave that annoyed comment is not them being wrong, denying (or supporting) atrocities committed by regimes that proclaim themselves to be communist or to fight western imperialism. That after you "win" against imperialism with Imperialism what do you have? Imperialism!

No, my personal peeve is that they are mostly westerners who have no idea how good they have it, what it's like to live in one of the autocracies they love so much

...But i fell like a case for memory management usually provided by system and cpu for low-level languages is just as strong (couldn't edit comment above for some reason)
