Kokomo. It's just the worst.

As many have said, our National Parks are incredible, and even outside of them most of the western US is pretty awe-inspiring. I live in a place where, within an hour or two, I can go to desert badlands, alpine forests, coastal tide pools, and even skiing resorts for decent chunks of the year. I was recently up at 11k ft altitude in the Sierras and at -250 ft in Death Valley a few hours apart. The US is HUGE and big parts of it are still very wild. It's something worth fighting to preserve.

Edit: Also we can't read, I am American. Look, I didn't say the education system was good.

Hey I'm both an annoying Rust user and I also don't understand the borrow checker. I just put & and * in front of things until it works.

Still a bit. The hairs will recede and the buds will bulk up a lot when it's near done. Looking nice and healthy so far though!

Why are they looking at his word bubble?

 

I assume it has something to do with the sound cancelling. It uses white noise or something, right? I'm running out of nails to test this.

Real talk, I want to try Guix but I have not successfully installed it on any hardware, including VMs. This includes with nonguix for proprietary drivers and stuff. I can never get past install, it always just craps out on some substitution thing. Am I just stupid?

Gaming on Linux is pretty good nowadays. I've only run into one or two games I couldn't get working. The vast majority of games work with Proton right out of the box

This might be my favorite joke in Futurama.

Really? You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but imo Measure of a Man is an incredible acting showcase and a strong premise to display Federation values. Every time I've wanted to get someone into TNG, it's one of my first recommendations and it usually works. What are your complaints about it?

Cats are obligate carnivores. They need meat. A vegan cat is a dead cat.

 

So I'm reading The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses by Jesse Schell and I'm quite enjoying it. I don't really have anyone else in my life who shares my game development interests so I thought it might be fun to put together some kind of regular discussion. I've got a pretty long reading list, would nice to have someone to talk to. Thoughts?

 

So I've been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I'm fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I've used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I'd love to hear people's opinions.
