Idk, I think the vegan pets thing was pretty far up the list.

Paramount’s video player is ass. I have to fight it to start the video by reloading the page and clicking exactly in the right places. Then the player doesn’t pause when the space bar is pressed. And to top it off, the progress bar doesn’t disappear unless you click inside the window then float the mouse away. Fuck that noise. It isn’t worth it. What’s the point of paying if the service is broken?

Yar har.

They aren’t, it’s just an excuse.

No, they need to have perpetually increasing profits.

UniversalMonk potentially

I wouldn’t be surprised if this backfires a bit. The reason most publishers/IP holders don’t go after videos on youtube and twitch is because it’s basically free advertisement for your game.

If this behavior leads to people holding back on making nintendo based content, it could fuck them over in the long run. If you were a streamer or youtuber, would you feel particularly comfortable making videos and streaming nintendo games?

I know I wouldn’t. There is no guarantee that nintendo actually puts effort into determining whether you are using an emulator or not. And even for the people who do use emulators, they may not be looking to continue making nintendo content.

One thing they’ve been saying that concerns me however, is that apparently there have been people getting banned from help forums and even the GitHub for criticism.

Perhaps there were people going too far and getting rightfully banned and some innocent people got caught in the crossfire?

They’ve addressed that:

a lot of the people complaining on twitter are not even gamedevs and don’t know what Godot is

You’re probably right. Homophobes aren’t the brightest of the bunch.

Yet another reason religion is a scourge.

Ghoul behavior

I really fucking wish that news articles would stop wording shit like this. Reading the title I initially thought he died.

It doesn’t, though

Sure it does. I already explained how.

It doesn’t. Someone with a “left” view and a “right” view can cancel each other out,

Only if the person with a left view also has a right view. And only if the other person with the right view has a left view.

You seem confused. The point of it isn’t to give a fully accurate explanation of a person’s views on every topic. It’s to give somebody a general idea.

Plus, someone can say they are for something, but actually not support it in reality.

All political measurements fall victim to that. It’s a moot point. But just because some people are like that doesn’t mean everyone is.

Two people with wildly different views can occupy the same space

Not completely. If two people occupy a similar space, it means they agreed on something. That is meaningful. It’s vague, sure. But it isn’t completely random nonsense like astrology.

I just gave an example of how it is meaningful.

It’s definitely a terrible system, and there are better ones out there like 10Groups. But astrology is completely meaningless. The PCT at least tells you a vague (terrible, yes), but somewhat meaningful direction in which you believe.

For example, I know that since I’m libertarian left on the PCT, that I’m going to disagree with 90% of the things somebody who’s authoritarian right on the PCT believes.

Astrology doesn’t have that ability to reliably compare, since it is literally and completely meaningless.

But again, shit like 10Groups is better and everybody should switch to measures that have more than 2 axis.

This is exactly the thing I’ve been looking for. It saves everything as a sqlite db, and has csv export options. So you’re not fucked over if you need to switch to something else. It’s compatible for linux/windows.

And the import options seem pretty good too.

Congrats, you’ve made me spend the whole day switching everything over to that lol.

The only real issue is that one of my banks deals with more than one type of currency. So I’ve had to write a custom script to handle that. But all in all, this is a massive upgrade for me. Thank you for this recommendation.

If we don’t test for hurricanes, the problem will go away. Don’t look up.
