Finally.

Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.

It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

Melee Attacks in PVP Must Be Fast! There is a common misconception in PVP game design that melee attacks should be slow and reactable in order to make it fair for your opponents to play around them. The problem with this is that it fundamentally breaks the core game dynamic, resulting in a game where doing nothing is the best option. PVP games focused on Melee combat must have some way to either hurt the opponent that they can't react to, or a way to set up a situation where they cannot avoid getting hurt that they cannot react to.

screenshot of the youtube video, "Zelda but it's a modern game" The thumbnail contains a lot of unnecessary ui elements over the game.

A joke about excessive interruptions and handholding isn't funny when it's about a game that already has excessive interruptions and handholding.

I don't hear anything communist in here, but it would be cool if it happened.

Ahhhh.... fuck. I have been pro-nuclear. As I understand it, modern reactor designs have gotten a lot safer, such as thorium reactors, which have no connection to creating nuclear weapons, but of course, if you're going to engineer another Chernobyl then that doesn't matter much!

"hey, what if I had an install that I could activate that turns off all your attacks except jab, and it only ends when you push me into the corner" FUCK OFF TCGS

Though if some motherfucker plays a stun deck against me in yugioh, they can go to hell.

I agree. I was never the kind of person to get upset at other characters. Everything is a part of the game, and everything can be overcome. That's just the law of fighting games.

Possibility Space: Every state that a game can occupy. Everything that can ever happen in a game. Differentiated Depth: All of the meaningfully different states in a game. All of the unique things that can happen in a game. Relevant Depth: All of the game states that players know about, can perform, and judge to be useful to them.

I finally remade my old infographic on the 3 filters of depth!

Hey, can I get in on this? I've been looking for exactly this type of thing.

NES games universally coded the jump parabola first, then let you modify it by releasing the button, Keen has you simply ascend for as long as the button is held, or a timer runs out.

They had pretty much every capability to write games as good as those on the NES and they just... Didn't. I was reading through the code of Commander Keen 4 for a research project and it struck me immediately that they coded the jump incorrectly.

FUCK, and I missed this?

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

GIRLS FUCKING ROCK

MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

We are living through one of the biggest crackdowns on free speech in academia in history. Liberals are complicit as they castigated anti-genocide protestors and their publications fearmongered about things like wokeness and trigger warnings while the right planed McCarthyism 2.0.

That's a great point that I've seen missed in recent discourse. This is inflicting incredible material harm, not just to the environment, but to necessary infrastructure!

I have a high quality SSD from before this whole fiasco that I still haven't installed.

posting some of the fanart brainworms i've been having here as well!

I finished teaching the class that I was asking this about last month. Maybe next time!
