-
@psychicteeth @edclef they definitely do! Or, the boundary line between implicit/explicit rule is super fuzzy with them.
-
@psychicteeth @edclef the problem is actually more subtle, I think? People assumed that people who were with people who were booping were...
-
@psychicteeth @edclef ...also booping. Which is wrong, but understandable. Also, playing needs to be reaffirmed each time.
-
@psychicteeth @edclef but the game itself is about a lack of consent! It's pleasure is in the "oh! damn you!"
-
@psychicteeth @edclef the compromise we tried to strike was making it the least invasive touch we could imagine - ie the elbow.
-
@psychicteeth @edclef But of course, people want to up the stakes. :/
-
@psychicteeth @edclef (it's also weird to think so deeply about literally a few seconds worth of design thought...)
-
@edclef @failnaut @psychicteeth (well, there was always "Barry", but that's so explicitly hostile it wasn't dangerous)

@failnaut @edclef @psychicteeth yeah, agreed - but I've not seen Barry go wrong in the same way Clavicle did.

the more contexts I see git used in, the more I believe that It Is Bad And Should Be Stopped.
-
you could also rewrite that as "the more people I try to explain git to"
-
people need to stop building "use git to" into workflows that could be useful for people who shouldn't need to be subjected to git
-
@x_glitch no! none of this! this is a bad way to a) learn about tacos and b) teach people about tacos.
-
@x_glitch sure, it is good for "learning git" but that is a BULLSHIT TASK (unless you will use it every day of your working life)
-
@x_glitch what if I just want to push this toy project to heroku? What if I just want to let an artist get the latest build of a game?
-
any tool i feel the necessity to teach with the words "this will go wrong, it's not your fault, it's normal, don't feel bad" is a BAD TOOL
-
.@x_glitch I want to be able to share and collaborate with people who are not coders/have put the years into learning git
-
.@al_grimes it's powerful! it does great stuff! but why do you have to understand that power to push a toy twitterbot to heroku?
-
@x_glitch every time I have used something like this it has hit a git edge case and broken in a way that needs complex terminal magic to fix
-
@TomNullpointer we've been using it for Mutazione for years. Doing tech support for the rest of the team still takes up some of my time.
-
@x_glitch broadly yes! (there's an infinity of hard details). but my opinion now is that it is doomed if it is underlain by git.

@TomNullpointer what do you use instead?

-
@Ungapants @camyule @HilariousCow right (and that happens to coders as well). Supporting non-devs when this happens is part of the job
-
@Ungapants @camyule @HilariousCow (and, also worth noting, that this usually happens because the tools are bad)

@mcclure111 Unity refers to them as TRS matrices/transforms (in 3d space, anyway)

@mcclure111 (I'm not sure the specifics of how they squash shear in nested cases)

@mcclure111 rotation nested within a non-uniform scale is the only example that comes to mind.
-
@mcclure111 this implies a transform tree, though.

Finished about 3 months of work yesterday! It's a digital boardgame you play by stacking blocks in a tower I've been making with @ammonite.
-
You can play it at GDC! Come find me (or more relevantly, @ammonite, as he has the stuff in a swish case).
-
I feel super proud of it! Came out nicer than I imagined. Beautiful stuff from @tburrellsaward and @streamofstars in there.
-
@philippawarr @ammonite never! It's real blocks stacked in a tower in real life! Come play when we're back!
