Unfortunately it caused an electrical fire when I tried to use the soldering iron on itself.

Huh, my soldering iron doesn’t even have an on switch, just “plugged in” or “not plugged in”. I’m not saying everything needs to be that simple but we sure do overcomplicate things in our devices.

Republicans are the ones who get hurt by gas prices the most, since they are the ones driving big trucks for no reason.

Also it’s a concrete number they understand because they see it plastered on billboards everywhere. They can conveniently ignore rent because it’s not as “public” of a number.

Oh no, how will I ever download Ubuntu oh wait I’ll just use the torrent like always

Who fucking cares if Ubuntu’s website is down?

You know what they say - all of us are just meat mechs being piloted by a pair of kidneys.

You’re on the fourth human mission to Mars, and you’re told the Odyssey spacecraft designed to take you there will be the smoothest ride you’ll ever take. It features a newly christened electric propulsion engine which was in the late stages of testing during the first three missions. The mission starts and the spacecraft travels at a crawl, and you wonder if it’s broken. A week goes by and you’re now traveling at more than 400,000 kilometers (250,000 miles) per hour, and your mind is blown as to how fast you’re going, how quickly that happened, and that this mission might be more awesome than you thought.

What the hell is this weird storytelling? Who would send an astronaut off to Mars without doing any training on what kind of propulsion they are using?

It’s not just Lemmy. The whole world is being flooded by ever increasing quantities of shit, and filtering through it efficiently is decreasingly easy.

That artist is The Reddot. I believe occasionally she and Pizzacake do cosplays together?

Who doesn’t love to tug on a weenis?

Penny Arcade was one of his contemporaries in the early webcomic space. It may simply be nostalgic to him.

Personally I find Penny Arcade distasteful but it’s hard to ignore how much that IP helped grow the webcomics industry.

They have attention to detail, just not the right details. It’s super easy for them to get lost in a never ending train of tangents.

Good lizard people, anyway.

So I actually make board games, and I got really excited to see which category my games fit in, but there are definitely large gaps in the coverage of this list.

At least, I hope my games don’t fall under “overcomplicated” or “boring”…

Would be great if it were a super tiny watch, like a waterproof electronic sticker. Completely intrusive as a chonky smartwatch.

Copyright is a fictional protection designed to enrich corporations. It does very little for actual creators. If this is what it takes to destroy copyright, so be it.

That’s the biggest problem in my opinion. They are scary good at generating text. But there’s effectively no filter, it’s just an endless stream of vaguely plausible text, true or false. And unfortunately, humans are prone to think “wow that’s a lot of text, they must’ve done their research and put in tons of effort!” because historically that was for the most part true.

For example: all those guys who say “AI made me 10x more productive” are almost certainly measuring it by lines of code. As we all know, more code is almost inevitably an unmaintainable buggy mess.

It’s worse even than that. The server software (released by Anthropic) that lets an AI connect to a web service has a critical arbitrary remote code execution bug. So if you even let an AI connect to you, you’ve now allowed anyone to access your whole server.

There is no excuse for this other than wild incompetence.

Yep, multiple sprites layered is the right way to do this, one sprite per equipment item. That’s the normal way to approach this problem.

Unless you are rendering literally thousands of characters at the same time, you should not reach any performance bottlenecks from this approach. If you are rendering that many characters at once, you might need to build a custom shader to handle it.

But the important thing in gamedev is to keep things as simple as possible. Implement everything in the most obvious way you can. I think the solution you described is very good.
