Huh, I’ve never met a cat that ekekekees at bugs, they only do it when watching birds they clearly have no way of catching. Otherwise they just meow at the thing like it’s your fault it’s flying on the ceiling.

Not anymore. All knives are now banned in public because apparently we are toddlers. Or they think that terrorists won’t find any way to hurt people now. Because surely legality is where any knife murderer draws the line…

Edit : I think laguioles and swiss army knives are still ok since they have no blade lock. But apparently there is now zero legal difference between my extrema ratio knife (which is admittedly really blurring the line between EDC and “tactical” knife) and an Opinel.

They also granted the head of Unit 731 immunity (specifically from the USSR who rightly wanted him executed) in exchange for the human experimentation data.

“Experimentation” data that was entirely useless, if I remember correctly.

C++ is home sick, currently the doctor (compiler) is not sure whether it’s got the flu or a terminal cancer.

Yeah first though when I looked at this was “wait isn’t this literally the sex couch ?”

I’m having a lot of fun playing mount and blade : bannerlord. The combat is satisfying and the game has quite a lot of depth. It can be a bit overwhelming but I think it’s worth the 2h attempt. For the power fantasy part : get good at polearms and riding, get yourself a glaive, optionally download the mod that allows you to hit several enemies with a single swing and mow down lines of infantry with each charge.

Also, blizzard bad but Diablo is fun

You could even do that on the player’s model specifically. But it’s still a maybe, you’re almost guaranteed to get some cursed bugs due to every preexisting code having been made with right handedness in mind.

I’m sure animators are internally screaming at the reasons why this will make some originally right handed animations look off but that’s not my area of expertise.

In reality it’s probably not the hardest thing to do gameplay-wise, especially if you’re doing it from the very beginning of the project, but I don’t think you can simply mirror animations (and some animations-related logic) and have it look natural, so you’d have to make dedicated animations and possibly logic for left hand strikes, right hand blocks etc. which would obviously be much more expensive. But yeah that’s probably what Minecraft does now for example, and since they have a very low level of detail on player characters and their animations it looks alright.

As a gameplay programmer, I got anxiety from reading this (and I think the animators are already in a fetal position on the floor)

CMS is arguably worse than AZERTY. Or maybe l’m just too used to AZERTY…

French here, after having to buy a Canadian laptop I can confirm I didn’t go back to the french layout. Also the “english (Canada)” locale usually has sane regionalization options (like DD/MM date and distance in meters or kilometers, celsius temperature…) compared to the other English ones

Yeah I’m not asking questions about the technical stuff I’m actually interested in to an HR drone

I legit swore off the entire OS when one of my teachers forced us to use macOS + X code to write Objective C code

Agree. I used a ton of different IDEs too and I can say Rider was the least terrible one I’ve used professionally (mostly on Unreal Engine projects, so having the thing not kill itself when trying to compute large, complex codebases for syntax highlighting/autocomplete was a requirement).

Uh ? What’s wrong about that ? These are basically generalized romeo&Juliet laws.

The highlighted age is that from which a young person can lawfully engage in a non-commercial sexual act with an older person, regardless of their age difference. If a participant in a sexual act is under 18 but above the age of consent then sexual acts with another person who is at or over the age of consent may still be illegal if the older participant is in a position of authority over the younger person.

Despite what the text says, here in France, being over 18 while the other person is not can often be enough to be considered in a position of authority btw

Whoops, thanks, that makes more sense

Is that an Egyptian flag on France ?

Just like all the colonial powers voting “I don’t know about this one dawg” because they know their history

Does Randy even realize how much the industry’s landscape has changed ?

First of all you’re in competition with your older games. BDL1 and 2 had soul and were good. BDL 3 is still ok (no idea about the pre-sequel but I heard it was the beginning of the downwards trend). Not to mention the literal hundreds (even thousands for some of us) of other good games sitting in our libraries. And the indie bangers consistently proving that we don’t need to pay 80$ and download a 200 Go day one patch to enjoy the medium in 2025. I hope this bankrupts Gearbox at this point.

Does that sticker say “no God, no State, no cable salad” in German ? Because that is peak Lemmy.
