i'm not super into networking code so i'm currently wondering: what causes rollback implementation quality to differ from game to game? is it just the synchronization methods used?

Any big-budget Wittgenstein film should be 75% Wittgenstein being an unremitting asshole to everyone he meets, with the director varying whether only we think the target deserves it, 23% him being terrible to himself, and then 2% this specific moment, which is unexpectedly the heart of the film.

After about two hours of reading or discussion, we would go for a walk and then have tea at Lyons, or in the restaurant above the Regal cinema. Sometimes he came to my house in Searle Street for supper. Once after supper, Wittgenstein, my wife, and I went for a walk on Midsummer Common. We talked about the movements of the bodies of the solar system. It occurred to Wittgenstein that the three of us should represent the movements of the sun, earth, and moon, relative to one another. My wife was the sun and maintained a steady pace across the meadow; I was the earth and circled her at a trot. Wittgenstein took the most strenuous part of all, the moon, and ran around me while I circled my wife. Wittgenstein entered into this game with great enthusiasm and seriousness, shouting instructions at us as he ran. He became quite breathless and dizzy with exhaustion.

Bro if Christopher Nolan ever directs a big-budget retelling of the Wittgenstein-Popper poker incident, imma write a review in the LRB that is SO scathing

it's interesting how basically all pre-copyright classic literature got oceans of 'fanwork' in the form of fake sequels, copies with added commentary, heavily altered and edited copies (which sometimes become more popular eg three kingdoms) and imitations

really tired of this happening and i think its straightforwardly irresponsible of the people making these tools to tell anyone that it offers them protection against their data being used for training, not even getting into the part where this latest iteration messes up screen readers lol

every so often someone will drop a silver bullet Solution to AI scraping by "poisoning it" in a way that does nothing and makes everything suck more. and the most annoyingly reactionary people you know will insist on using it for like 6 months

unfortunately 80% of the time spent on the binary formats in this game will be for a bunch of bitflags that only matter sometimes and are really hard to gather evidence for

its so weird how we've had phone OS voice assistants for so many years and it still seems basically impossible to make them do anything useful, if i could easily have one call arbitrary web APIs or something like that i would probably be finding ways to use them every day but instead i never do that

Reposting one of my favorite things I've made with BBScript, tiny Potemkin. Unfortunately due to hitboxes being floats, the scaling would cause rounding errors and instantly desync netplay

since the days of project xanadu, the ability to easily pay people for their works over a computer network continues to elude our greatest minds

practicing the evil kamui bnb that makes you do a bunch of half circles on hitbox, i normally dont find these very hard but when you mix them into a combo this way it gets a lot harder to hit the consistent half circle input

i think i feel mostly fine with improving at the tgm rotation system and 20g and stuff now but the one thing i would change about the series is probably the right-side bias, just feels mathematically ugly to me

Probably this was unavoidable once the money showed up, but jeez. Feels like indexing got better and better, but then evil seo derailed it. There was a brief period, which I believe was a Monday afternoon in 2013, where you could just find stuff.

One of the weirdest things about the modern internet is we have exquisite indexing of everything, but often it's really really hard to find stuff? Like if you hear a candidate is getting popular and want to see a speech, search engines return 400 reactions to the speech, not the speech.
