  • Yeah, I was already iffy on the writing up to that point, but at that moment I could only assume that the writers unironically believed Rick & Morty was the peak of highbrow humor.

  • Clearly someone's never been horny on main...

  • It still enrages me to this day that IGN literally bought out a charity because they wanted to make money off of it. I will never forgive them for ruining Humble.

  • Javascript's type coercion is rather insane, yes, but there is an actual, practical reason it's done. JS, having been designed to be run in web browsers, wants to avoid blowing up and crashing at all costs. If it gets an unusual type comparison, usually the result of a bug, it tries to return something, such that the script can continue running if at all possible. In JS' mentality, keeping a page running, even if it might not completely function properly, is preferable to throwing an unhandled exception and completely crashing it.

    Whether or not that is the right approach is debatable, but there is at least some logic to it. Personally, I think that the proliferation of Node letting JS run outside of browsers exacerbates a lot of JS' issues, but TypeScript does a lot to make it look like a more sensible language.

  • I like how RealD looks well enough, but the glasses tended to give me a mild headache after a while. I've been able to wear VR headsets without much issue in the handful of times I've been able to try them, so maybe that would work better, but I don't think I've actually worn one for multiple hours at a time, so who knows.

  • The thing that I think a lot of people forget about the first Avatar is that it was pretty much the first big blockbuster to be available with those RealD 3D glasses. I distinctly remember wanting to go see it so I could check out RealD and find out if it lived up to the hype.

    Of course, it had the James Cameron name recognition, so it was probably going to be pretty successful regardless, but I don't know if it would have been quite so record-shattering if it weren’t for the novelty of RealD, combined with the higher ticket price of 3D showings.

  • I like the idea of Scaled, but last I tried it, most of the posts were one-pointers and it didn't feel that much functionally different from New.

  • He was speaking of someone else's game that did that, not Heartbound.

  • Ceci n'est pas une pomme.

  • I get the joke in the title, but not the one in the image. Is "cat sank" a homophone with something in French?

  • This is one of those things where it's something weird published April 1st, but it doesn't feel over-the-top enough to absolutely be a joke. I have no idea if this is real or not lol

  • If a game hasn't been fully bugtested, I wouldn't consider it "done..."

  • Is "really frosts my behind" an actual saying anywhere? I've never heard that in my life.

  • You could probably get one of those personal-size pizzas with plain cheese or maybe pepperoni to run around 1000 calories.

  • The whitespace doesn't bother me. Any IDE worth a damn will manage that for you. As for the type system, yeah, I strongly prefer static typing, but for simpler projects I can see the convenience of it.

    My real issue with Python comes with managing a development environment when multiple developers are working on it. Dependency management in Python is a headache, and while in theory, virtual envs should help with synchronizing environments from machine to machine, I still find it endlessly fiddly with a bunch of things that can go wrong that are hard to diagnose.

    Python is great for small scripts, proofs-of-concept, and such, but I wouldn't write anything more heavy-duty than that in it.
