Evangelical church urges Trump admin to 'execute' LGBTQ Americans
  • Be careful, you'll upset the "real christians", who will tell you about how this person is a "fake", because Jesus said "love thy neighbor", and all the other things in the Bible "don't count" for some reason.

  • Anon is a game dev
  • It's also diminishing returns of investment. The more realistic you want to go, the more work you have to put in. Also more realism will mean certain other things will look even more jarring, so you're having a much higher standard for bugfixes.

  • US Congressmen praying inside the House of Representatives
  • To all the "not true Christian" chanters: Religion is unfortunately way too broad to interpret in many ways, especially christianity, which is filled with many contradictory views. One can just selectively refer to different translations and/or different chapters on the same issue. Jesus was famous for not forgiving child abusers, but the Old Testament has a chapter about "Menstrual Marriage" (allowing adolescent child marriage).

  • What does China achieve from invading Taiwan?
  • Extreme disdain for democracy. Some psychopaths want to bring us back before the age of enlightement, while using enlightement or (especially in case of China) post-enlightement ideas to do so, because we citizens are all like badly behaving 12 year olds, who need 24 hour supervision on every day on the week, every month of the year, or we might "go insane" from doing something a psychopathic madman does not want us.

  • EA reportedly expects Battlefield 6 to bring in 100 million players, a number that even DICE devs don't think is feasible
  • Predictions: It will be the biggest failure of the franchise, just before a big game industry crash, and will be remembered as "the E.T. of the mid-2020's". Elon Musk and some other MAGA oligarchs will do their best to consolidate whatever remains of the industry into a few and far-right hands.

  • The goal is suffering
  • Yes, but that needs that we actually win, and not just be in the period of the slow death of the "free world" and the "rules based world order", instead of heading towards a dark age of globalized neofascism and neocoloinalism.

  • School legend
  • And republicans will create the "Let boys be boys" act, that will not only allow such behavior, but also tries its best to criminalize the callouts of this kind of behavior.

  • On Effort
  • IMHO, creativity is also not about coming up with an idea, but the implementation of it. Drawing isn't about the initial idea, but how the end result looks, which could take a lot of time. GenAI shortcuts the idea to the implementation, that's also why they look awful.

  • The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb
  • The 1gb of KDE dependencies are one time only, but there's also the option of just using OpenGL + bare x11 or Wayland for GUI. If my game engine could pull it off, if IMGUI apps could pull it off, then everyone could pull it off, we just need a UI framework not ddependent on either GTK or qt.

  • The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gb
  • Most of the reason why the Logitech driver is so gargantuan is a separate Chromium browser instance, because someone thought that apps should be all websites first, which lead to most GUI libraries being developed for javascript and most devs being taught to be web developers.

  • [vent] My annual feeling of extreme loneliness due to lack of romantic relationships and my absolute hopelessness of getting one have begun

    At the age of 34, being extremely socially reclusive, and being autistic myself, I don't really think I have any chance of getting a relationship. I also have issues with staying attached to neurotypical/non-autistic people, people that drink alcohol regularly (I was raised by an alcoholic grandmother, you probably can put the two together), also I'm disabled in other ways too, etc.

    A lot of people often like to say "ace/aro/demi people just too disappointed/have too high standards". Here I am being so disappointed and probably having way too high standards, yet I still vow for a romantic relationship, and thus often feel lonely from it.

    How should I tackle this problem?

    I have created a new MIDI format to overcome both the limitations of the current one and the unwillingness of the International MIDI Consortium to develop a MIDI 2.0 file format. So I made my own for my game engine. I even added some primitive scripting features.

    But here comes the big problem: now I need to develop an editor. While I created a textual representation of it, which is a weird mix of assembly with Lua influences and essentially musical notes and rhythm as values, but eventually it should have a full GUI editor.

    The format so far has the following kind of commands:

    • Flow control commands
    • MIDI emit commands which can be either:
      • Note on and off commands
      • Velocity change (aftertouch)
      • Program change
      • Control change
      • Pitch bend
      • A few other less important commands (SysEx, etc.)
    • Commands for the scripting (Arithmetic commands on writable registers, compare and branch, etc.)
    • The ever important wait command, on which the whole system depends, as it tells the sequencer how much clock cycles have to wait between two commands

    I have to process these commands for two display widgets, one displays the notes in a piano roll format, one displays any other commands. However, thanks to the way things work, I usually cannot just process MIDI commands directly. For example, notes are defined by a note-on and note-off event (often with aftertouch), no duration. And then comes editing. And then comes to editing around various wait commands. And then comes to editing around various conditional jump commands.

    I started to work on a system that converted and separated each command for display, but it's a bit time consuming, and adds extra complexity. But modifying it a bit and adding a "transpiler" to the two systems would make editing pretty easy to implement. I already added "macro"-like features to the textual representation of the format. Could this work?
