    I’m over 40 and finding wands in Noita fills me with joy.

    “So, this one homes on enemies, has triple cast and delayed explosions… Hmmm, but what does orbital and bouncy do together?”

    *shoots near beehive*

    >Entire screen explodes

    And I just restart the game with a grin. I feel like that game made what actual magic would be. Starting the game by silently teaching us about the dangers of fire was a stroke of genius. It’s always fire with magic, just weirder, bigger and wilder types of fire, and both me and my enemies don’t command it, we simply live in a world with it. Nothing but a video game could make me experience this. Nothing but a video game could generate near endless amounts of endlessly unlearnable amounts of raging wildfires to be amused by.



  • We literally split the atom and with it, came up with the cleanest and cheapest way to support a large chunk of our energetic needs.

    Then some people did a big boom with it, and then a cartoon decided to draw it as green rods of evil energy, and there, the entire world decided to stop using it. And we’ve not started doing it again properly for several decades, all while we uproot carbon off the biosphere and the ground and into the air so we can boil ourselves to a climatic disaster.

    Aliens would find nothing worth respecting.

    It is quite a weird thread. I’m seeing a lot of people saying Sync is the best, and honestly, it might be, but the logic that the others are outright bad doesn’t fly. The only app that is outright bad is Jerboa, and the only reason to use Jerboa was if you were on here since BEFORE reddit even started the API thing, when it was the only option. We have a TON of options right now. Everyone actually focusing on Jerboa feels like they’re not an actual Lemmy user.










  • It’s a bad idea to assume everyone in the field is of a similar mindset and philosophy. There are a LOT of people who genuinely want to make the world worse and see things like adblocking as piracy.

    In fact, I’ve met people who hate the concept of Open Source and want things to be closer to creative fields. They’re shortsighted of course, greedy. But the basis doesn’t change the outcome. Yes, it’s blatantly their desires to “own” a piece of code the same way musicians often own a movie’s score and get licensing fees on them that led that path. But they still walked it and they still exist and they’re still out there, hoping for the day they get to go against you.
