@antigermanist funny, how you misspelled debian.

@iiii ...it always was a spectrum.

i always has been a fuzzy categorisation with no clear distionction based on what aspects the game shares with the original rogue, and what aspects differ in what way.

and with the two categories being named so very much alike, confusion was inevitable, no matter how strict and well-defined the definitions might have been.

@Lensflare and in this context, more than anything, i'm an anti-apple-guy.

@Lensflare no, i haven't, but

1) it's made by apple, so statistically speaking, it's either a third-rate copy of something better that only exists because of marketing or a rare case of something apple actually created themselves, which is highly likely to be just terrible in and of itself

2) i had the misfortune of having to LOOK at an inherited swift-project, and - just like typescript, only differently - i can't understand how any reasonable, sane, non-masochist person could ever want to use it.

@kiki you don't you use a non-shit-tier language instead.

@kiki then make one. or just use a browser.

@TeachMeCode > but don’t roguelike games let you retain at least something so you’re stronger when you have to start over?

no. they don't.

as i said, very clearly, in pure roguelikes, you retain _absolutely nothing_ when you die. nothing, nada, niente, nix.

first of all, you should switch to android.

also, as far as i understand it, the unforgiving difficulty is a key feature of souls-games.

> It tries to be a roguelike but doesn’t make you that much stronger each time you fail a mission

you know - in a pure roguelike, every single time you die - you start 100% from scratch.

as soon as you retain _anything_ from a previous run, you're leaving "pure roguelike"-territory.

@retoor i'd very much prefer it over IIS in every single scenario.

@jestdotty the word "deception" itself does not imply malevolent intent. for example: the old movie trope of "that wasn't a magic McGuffin helping you achieve your goals, it was you all along" is deception, too, for an extremely benevolent cause.

and a metaphor is, basically "implicitly describing thing A through explicitly describing thing B". and given that A is not B, this is, by definition, a form of deception. it may figuratively be true - but literally, it is very much the opposite.

> respectable payment company

perfect oxymoron.

@justindev but how did a CSS change result in "server panicking"? and why are there even external files that aren't part of the deploy package?

because that would require huge amounts of memory for no significant gain.

it's the same reason why no sane person stores their photos as bitmap anymore.

@antigermanist it's not mean if it's true.

@OliviaMendez go spam somewhere else. the wreck of the titanic, for example.

...it also perfectly fits dotty, tho.

@Grumm i'd argue that EVERYBODY should have flexible hours ALWAYS (when it makes sense in the given profession)

please - describe in detail _how_ you managed this screw up

@Grumm > but lately this shift is going pretty fast

i'd say that this is something every generation since the start of culture would say.

because: the change that's happening lately is the change that you are experiencing in real time. in every detail.

all the change that happened before you started being interested in the matter? you didn't experience it. you only got to know the end result and some high points of the change - and you lived with it for all your life. so from your perspective, there was no real change.

@Grumm i've always been for removing any religious references - from any and all religions - from public live.

believe whatever you want, but keep it to yourself. religion should be a purely private affair.

and the christmas season, which starts around august in german supermarkets, is way too long and annoying anyway. fuck christmas.

@jestdotty potayto, potahto.

@Lensflare that's what's been happening basically since language existed. meanings of words have always shifted, for one reason or another.

today, it's just slightly accellerated due to bigger idiots making bigger stupid decisions.

@PaperTrail nope. it's 100% about profits. it's 100% about EVERYBODY who might get pissed at something. and it was that way long before the word "woke" ever hit the mainstream.

@Grumm amazing mental gymnastics, to go from "the algorithm discourages the word 'kill'" to basically "trans people are guilty"

it's not about "hypersensitive woke snowflakes".

it's about "The Algorithm" suppressing everything that might possibly be in any way whatsoever controversial.

so your question is basically "what if [absurdly unlikely worst-case disaster happens where some old games are literally the least of your problems]"

@jestdotty that's because every single religion is based on deception.

are you using hyperV or another shit-tier virtualisation?
