I'm sorry. I genuinely thought you might be watching DVD disks.

by bananamerica 2y ago
Are you really watching DVDs on modern large screens though? Maybe you meant Blu-ray. DVDs look terrible on modern screens.

I interpreted it as a increase in the fee.

I use GPT for AutoHotkey scripts for personal use. It fixes things Windows can't do natively. I used it briefly for a shell script on Linux but I don't use Linux much these days. When I used Linux daily I had a folder full of scri

That's awesome, thanks! I am aware of Inform 7, I think it is awesome. A few months ago I made a quick demo using Inklescript[1], which I found simpler and more suitable to my project (a Star Trek adventure). Inform 7 remains something

That is already possible with ASCII graphics or graphically at the client level.

This is more of a social problem than a technical problem. MUD blind players are extremely distrustful of innovation because, more often than not, innovation means graphics or custom clients they cannot freely alter and manipulate. And they

I'm not a programmer, just a humanities nerd on Hacker News. AI would be indeed bad for that at the moment. It could be an endless source of fluff, amusement, and roleplay hooks. In many MUDs, you are required to stay in character. But

Web MUD clients exist. I'm really not sure if modernizing MUDs is worth the effort. Actual MUD gamers will look at it with either contempt or distrust, especially blind players. And regular gamers are unlikely to play a text game. I co

Just be careful when approaching actual current MUD gamers with that idea. They're largely cynical towards AI. I don't really blame them, a lot of people coming at /r/mud with new ideas are either lazy, misinformed, or c

I don't think anyone's criticizing or advising against the use of Discord for the things it's adequate for, but rather its proeminence in the webpage, which communicates that you'll have to go to Discord to get more subs

The animation in Castlevania is in fact very good.

It's not every day that I read someone complain about a product not being expensive enough.

Just look at how some primates use an abundance of facial muscles to establish they're not a threat. Or how having the local accent can show you are not an invader. The sing-songy greetings,the smiles, etc, can be read as demonstration

I don't believe Americans are fake, but I do believe that Americans are trained since an early age to display at all times that they're not a threat, and that is kind of sad.

There are many non-tech submissions on Hacker News. From the guidelines: > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might

If you believe that's a good website, I disagree but that's fine by me. Just don't fit my dislike into some crazy American narrative. I truly and genuinely believe it's a bad website solely due to what I perceive to be c

I feel that you wrote about a lot of things that are nothing to do with anything I wrote. I don't live in a alternate reality where Kotaku has great content. I'm not sure why you do. I read other websites that are equally "wo

by bananamerica 3y ago
Oh Kotaku was a low quality website long before that. And of course I'm being truthful why would you just assume otherwise? Do I need to send you my Brazilian RG and CPF? The internet is so tiresome. Just open the website, read it. It&

I understand that you would think that given the assumed context on this website but I'm not even American and the gamer gate thing was very distant from me, something foreign I read about in the news. I have absolutely no issue with t

by bananamerica 3y ago
Not at all in my case. I have no beef with their politics. Kotaku is just a terrible website due to its shallow reporting and almost all its content has a better source that is often linked in the article. They are also needlessly inflammat

by bananamerica 3y ago
Is that really surprising to anyone?
57.
by bananamerica 3y ago
Can anyone point to a better source for this so I can't share it with people? Kotaku is the TMZ of gaming and I never share it, but underlying content is good on this article.

I don't think you understand how copy and paste works... if the English Wikipedia can do it, I think article writers can do as well.
