  • What game do you think came closest to being "perfect"?
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    I personally disagree that the original is best. It's high up there, but I think some of the later titles have improvements that eek out the #1 spot.

    I'm a fan of the "piece swap" feature, and later games have polished the piece lock over the original. Tetris 99 was the sweet spot for games that I've played.

  • Worth learning vim/emacs?
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    Neovim is a rewrite of the vim project. From a high level (or from the perspective of a beginner to both), there's not much difference between the two. That is, basic usage will be the same regardless of which ones you choose. Like, the model philosophy and default key bindings are basically identical.

    You start seeing major differences with more advanced usage and under the hood.

    • Neovim is built to support async processing, while Vim is entirely synchronous

    • Neovim offers native Language Server support while Vim requires plugins to do so. (Language Server Protocol is part of what makes VSCode so powerful)

    • Vim plugins are written with a custom script called "vimscript" while Neovim plugins are written in Lua but also supports vimscript.

    There are more differences, but this should cover the basic differences. I haven't used neovim in an age, so I'm up for any corrections if anyone has any

  • YouTube confirms 3-strike policy for blocking ads
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    As a software engineer, I can't speak about their actual implementation, but I can vouch that it's a technically sound response, as far as blocking malicious ads from executing code from your browser.

    However, I don't know what headers or parameters are being sent with the request. It's possible that a malicious ad could still track you using that metadata, so heads up on that

  • Among Us’ Animated Series in the Works at CBS Studios From ‘Infinity Train’ Creator Owen Dennis
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    A TV Show (or cartoon) based around Among Us, feels like they missed the boat on Among Us popularity.

    Then again, I loved Infinity Train, wish the show wasn't cut short by Zaslav's budget cuts. I could see Among Us being similar to The Thing (one of my favorite horror movies), i think there's a chance it's a good show

  • Futurama | Official Trailer | New Season July 24
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    I have such mixed feelings about this. The show ended in such a perfect way (as it did the prior the times), but more Futurama is more Futurama

  • Only a couple days left in Pride Month. Does anyone have any LGBT movie recommendations? Doesn't need to be a lesbian romance, but at least better than completely replaceable side characters ("blink and you miss it")

    Jerboa now requires newer server version
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    Yup 0.0.35, and the exact same set of issues.

    It's just the first day or two, I couldn't go 10 minutes without crashing. Now it still crashes a couple times per day, but it lasts more like an hour or two

    This is just my experience with Jerboa

  • Jerboa now requires newer server version
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    Jerboa 0.0.35 upgraded automatically for me.

    At first it was crashing frequently, but it seems to have gotten somewhat better. Hopefully it will continue to improve

  • How often do you have to resolve merge conflicts?
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    Fugitive is a common git plugin for Vim. If you're not using vim, not much to check out. If you are, highly recommend it!

  • Who are your favourite directors?
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    Totally. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I really enjoyed The Matrix 4 for this reason.

    The movie had some significant issues (wtf was that Merovingian fight?), but I loved the world building both in the matrix and in the real world.

  • Federal judge knocks down Florida's Medicaid ban on gender-affirming treatment
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    This is the same (based) judge that previously ruled that the GAC ban for minors was unconditional.

    The new ruling overturns the part of the ban that restricted Medicaid funding for going to GAC for adults.

    Does anyone know what parts of the bill are still active? I'm guessing the requirement for informed consent is still required, but I don't know what else

  • is anyone else just learning now that Betelgeuse is pronounced like "Beetlejuice"?

    When I read Hitchhiker's Guide, I pronounced it b'tell-jew-EEss

    There's a thought that:

    Never make fun of people for mispronouncing a word. It means they learned it by reading

  • Anti-Trans Bills Spark Mass Migration as 130-260K Trans People Flee Home States
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    Currently in Florida, don't have immediate plans to move. My mother-in-law is recently widowed, so we want to stay close.

    I'm trans, but I also live with a lot of personal privilege (well paying job with non-state insurance, white, married, liberal city, no kids, haven't faced direct discrimination). The particular set of laws that Florida has passed are limited in how they affect me.

    That's not to say i don't care -- I'm actually livid with my state government. Many of my trans/queer friends have rightly left the state already, but I personally can stay around for longer to push back as I can

    I've spoken to my brother in Illinois, and if worse comes to worse, i have somewhere I can go if Florida becomes unlivable

  • The ‘JRPG’ label has always been othering
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    Action games and adventure games used to be two separate genres, but their similarities caused people writing magazine articles to group them together, under a single term "action-adventure". You can think of it as "either or", rather than some weird neologism

  • Best Prequels?
  • neotecha neotecha 1y ago 100%

    Thinking about it, i think you're right.

    It's been a while since I've seen it, but didn't it "okay things safe", just retread many of the same plot beats while making relatively superficial changes?

    I totally get not wanting too critical on movies, especially when you're involved in the process yourself.
