oh my fucking god thanks, this is literally it! all it took was one lemmy comment lol

I could only think of Happy Wheels lol. Quick searching led me to Cyclomaniacs and Adrenaline Challenge, not sure if these are even close

There’s this one Flash game that was basically only ever featured in one Flash game website (AFAIK), it played almost exactly like Swords and Sandals (it’s a clone that’s got nothing to do with the original series), but with this one, you could also choose to be an anthropomorphic animal and you start off with a fish for a weapon. It seemingly vanished from the face of earth, it’s probably not even in the Flashpoint Archive…

That said, I’ve found most Flash games I played back in the Flash heydey by complete accident (e.g. via YouTube recommendations), games like Chasm, Haunted House, The Farmer, Nightmares, The Adventures Series, except for this one for whatever reason.

I never really began a wild goose chase over this one, but it still lives in the back of my mind sometimes… But I did make it my mission to document flash games I used to play in case I want to ever revisit them lol.

I’m skipping both and going for the Lisuan G100, if it drops soon this year.

recently ripping/re-encoding my Blu-rays and DVDs.

Respect, I hope to see them seeded 🏴‍☠️, if you catch my drift

Thanks for the tips. I’ve read recommendations of the ASRock B650 instead of the board I opted for, which costs only slightly more. AFAIK the only downsides to the A620M are no support for PBO + Curve Optimizer and no RGB headers. Those don’t matter to me at all, since I don’t intend to overclock and have no need to make my PC look fancy, I look at the screen most of the time, and not what’s under the table :)… That said, I admit that the 7600X probably may have been a tiny bit overkill pairing with the board, but w/e, I like to live on the edge.

I opted for that Corsair PSU because I found a good deal and the fact that cable management (unless in areas where necessary) was and isn’t really a priority, so Fully or Semi modular it was. Other than that, no forethought was put into it.

EDIT:

Oh right forgot to mention that PcPartPicker’s estimated wattage also guided my PSU purchase, the total estimate was at 530W, so I just multiplied it by 1.25. I’m currently second-guessing my PSU choice now…

Among other things, Germany’s been quite strict about piracy, so they’ve been holding the L for a while now, and continue to do so…

asking the real questions

my team, duh… It’s never my fault. Nope, never. Never once.

as an alternative, I recommend Yewtube (not to be confused with the Invidious instance with the same name):

It’s a TUI application that streams the music to mplayer, VLC or MPV depending on your preference. It can also handle playlists/albums.

Basically, in TF2, Demoman (one of, if not, the most mobile characters in the game) has a Sticky Launcher. You shoot a bunch of Sticky Bombs that stick to (almost) any surface, and they stay there until detonated manually by the Demoman. Each sticky bomb has the same “arm time” (the time it takes for them to be detonate-ready), when you position yourself close enough to your own sticky bomb and detonate, you are sent flying. The more stickies, the faster. But, you take damage. A lot. So that’s where the Sticky Jumper comes in. You trade self-damage for no-damage on yourself or other players, but you’re allowed to be sent flying anyway. Here’s what that looks like in the source material:

So, the idea is to take that and somehow translate it into 2D, with some creative liberties along the way. The only problem is that I want to somehow lessen the learning curve while also making it rewarding for players to master traversal with this mechanic. It’s not hard to use it in TF2, but it’s very hard to use it to its full potential (enter “Trimping”, “Sticky Pogo-ing”, etc…).

Looks awesome! Keep it up.

lookin cool! Visuals kinda remind me of Unturned

Java but in an alternate universe (with Microsoft’s trademarked curse^tm that follows everywhere). Auto-properties/properties to reduce boilerplate, extension methods, simplified exceptions (I don’t care about being explicit about checked/unchecked exceptions, I just want to throw em and catch em whenever I feel like it! Then again, other languages don’t want you to care about any of that either), Linq and access to the wonderful world of the GAME DEV ecosystem (Unity, Godot). Anything other than that is just splitting hairs at this point.

Fellow EndeavorOS enjoyer here, I love the hand-holding it does for you at the beginning (calamares installer, pick whichever DE that tickles your fancy, access to AUR and other goodies by default), but then basically beyond that point, you’re on your own. The fact that it’s Arch based also means that 9.99 times out of 10, you can always consult the Arch Wiki for any issues.

It’s like an Arch Linux starter pack that gives you the option to take off the training wheels at any time lol.

I use LLMs to generate unit tests, among other things that are pretty much already described here. It helps me discover edge cases I haven’t considered before, regardless if the generated unit tests themselves pass correctly or not.

If I can skirt the conversation to talk more about the soundtrack and less about the ambiance (which I will), then Dicey Dungeons. I deliberately stall battles just to hear more of the OST. Tempting Fate is my favorite track.

I was hoping it could be embedded, but this is a nice-to-know, thanks!

i’m clueless about torrents and Lemmy, can you embed them in posts/comments somehow? The closest thing I could think of is using a Framatube instance, but I don’t think you can embed them
