It’s kind of annoying that this guy assumes pixel snapping is always a problem and never an intentional aesthetic choice. As if the devs of Blasphemous and the other titles he names either weren’t aware of it or couldn’t figure out how to get rid of it. Really though, this is a fairly basic, generally early consideration in any pixel art game with a free-floating camera, and I can guarantee you that the devs of Blasphemous preserved pixel snapping intentionally for one reason or another. It could even have been the case that the background layers didn’t look as good if pixels of one layer were peeking halfway out from behind a layer in front of them, and so the devs might have even enforced pixel snapping to preserve layer alignment. For many devs making pixel art games the artistic constraints generate much of the inspiration, and pixel snapping is one such constraint.

Saying that Notch supports a campaign sounds like a smear against it. There are a million other voices this campaign could have quoted before his.

Hell yeah, my last international vacation was an Amtrak.

I only ate plants the whole time.

I agree, really I should have written “We have to do both.”

Actually the majority of atmospheric oxygen is produced by phytoplankton, which are mostly bacteria and protists. Plants do get us over the finish line though.

We should do both.

Counterpoint, end all meat & dairy subsidies completely.

Just eat plants.

A surefire way to zap a bunch of ideologically-motivated activists into a puddle of fatalistic nihilists.

Don’t wait, you’ll thank yourself after you switch. In very frequent cases Windows games literally run faster in Linux under Proton. Get that state-sponsored spyware out of your home!

No I say up to the end of medieval times because shortly thereafter (After a brief 30-year kerfuffle) is when we see the first emergence of what we’d recognize today as nation states. Though I do not refer only to debt cancellations that go by that specific name, “jubilee” is just what we often refer to it in the west. It was done to varying degrees in many ancient cultures.

Around 1300 the church kind of coopted “jubilee” as being a bulk forgiveness of sin rather than financial debt (I think the Catholic Church did one as recently as 2000). But traditions like May Day and various festivals of fools kept the spirit of social inversion and and anti-hierarchy alive since then. We still practice echoes of those traditions today in things like April Fool’s, “opposite day”, our current labor-centric May Day, etc.

From the beginning of civilization all the way up to the end of medieval times, leaders understood the importance of jubilees: Every generation or so the concentration of wealth under a hierarchy gets so bad, so unbearable, that debt must be relieved across society by decree to prevent open revolt.

Nation states were the end of all that. The merchants (Today we call them capitalists) are not the figureheads of society the same way that kings were, they don’t fear for their lives when they order politicians to double down on debt, issue new currency endlessly if they must, force through any economic hardships in order to prevent the relief of worsening inequality, to prevent the endless accrual of their wealth and lifestyles.

Instead of relief every 50-odd years, we’ve been hurting more and more for the past several hundred because nation states provide a faceless, unassailable aegis for the top heirarchs that never existed for them before in history.

I stopped trying to get work done. I chill on sites like Lemmy between meetings. My micromanagers don’t notice because they’re all in meetings. I’m not worried about not looking busy. Everyone else is too busy trying to look busy to notice that I don’t look busy.

I feel so tiny next to some of the big numbers in here. My top ratio is 11.64x with 1.3TB up. But the current setup has only been up for two months.

Some parts of the US are like this, usually affluent cities where strangers are willing to yell at other strangers on your behalf / out of a sense of collective justice. But they were probably paying attention to your stuff already because they thought it was suspicious that someone got up and left behind a whole-ass bag.

It was 14 for me. But I wouldn’t wish it on anyone else, kids shouldn’t be laborers and it was mostly a very bad experience.

To use your logic, you don’t get to decide how I interpret the responses to my comment.

That’s correct. So if you felt like others were taking your words too seriously, then say that. Without the reflection at yourself, in the English language you’re telling others how they should be feeling rather than saying how you feel. I hope a grammar misunderstanding is all that really was.

And for the record, I do regret coming on so strong. I’ve been stressed today and this is not the first time in the past 24 hours I’ve realized too late that I could have been more diplomatic. So, sorry about that.

Lol no, you don’t get to decide how other people are allowed to feel about your opinions. Also wtf is a cleft asshole??

This is kind of the core question of disability, I think. What is disability if not a mismatch between your own way of navigating and functioning vs assumed normativity? If your own way of navigating and functioning was the assumed normative mode, would you still be “disabled”? A lot of our societys normative behaviors can in some way be hindering to those exhibiting them, but society is ready to provide full support to compensate for such things as they are a part of the normative mode. It’s a fun thought experiment to consider how difficult it might be for a more or less normative person to function in an autistic society that only recognized and provided for normative brains to the degree that our own society provides for autistic brains. And on that note - Would an autistic society be better at providing for those people than ours does for us? Or would we close ranks around a new normativity the way that our own too often does?

IT is fun until management comes in and wrecks the place with a load of time-consuming demands absent any reasoned justifications beyond things that don’t concern IT.
