IT guy here, not a programmer per se, but I have given up and am re-training into fraud detection. I want to take down some of the fuckers that ruined the industry before I die

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•You could literally put Dwayne The Rock Johnson on a middle school girls soccer team and hand me a fistful of cash to act like I gave a shit about it and I wouldn't be able to.

Arguably they’re sort of converging with all the nvim stuff out there. I said vi to be cute but I actually use LazyVim
Exactly this. You set poverty as policy, immiserated poor people use public facilities, very often as a private place to handle their misery with drugs, and therefore are not tidy and considerate washroom users. Washrooms get nasty, people complain, and rather than house and treat poor people, we get rid of public infrastructure, shut down stores before evening, etc.
Vi/Emacs, and get off my lawn

Truly one of the all-time greats and it drives me crazy because I can’t explain what makes it so good without spoiling it!

That death, and the “death” of half your controller, feels like an amputation. It makes it so real and visceral. Like real grief, the feeling is that a part of you has been ripped away. Frankly “meditations on grief” are a dime a dozen in indie games, but this one is one of the most intense ugly-cry gut-punches I have ever experienced in any medium. Well actually the ugly cry was later, when you realize the absolute devastation the father suffers.
But yeah, that controller trick–and realizing you even can use the other half to swim–phew. Just such a good game. Always happy when I see someone else who has played it.
