@raiganburns I haven't played (don't have the right hardware), but I suspect I wouldn't enjoy it?

@raiganburns I can't be bothered to improve my skills at playing particular games, without which I think I would gain only small enjoyment.

@raiganburns for reference, the last game that made me want to get good at it was Super Hexagon. I know that feeling, it's just rare.

@AlexKalopsia @joonturbo @guardian yeah, looks like that's a trivial tweak of #1. Each tiling is actually a set of similar tilings.
-
@joonturbo @AlexKalopsia @guardian oooh, actually that's a good question. looks like the new tiling is more specific...
-
@joonturbo @AlexKalopsia i am imagining perturbing the vertexes of the tilings - there's some constraints, but not complete.
-
@joonturbo @AlexKalopsia or various warp/skew/stretches you could do - some tiles would allow some transformations, others not.
-
@joonturbo @AlexKalopsia or, actually, the answer is at the linked mathpuzzle.com/tilepent.html . D + E = 180
-
@joonturbo @AlexKalopsia meaning two adjacent angles add up to 180, meaning two sides with a single side between them are parallel.
-
@Gib @joonturbo @AlexKalopsia and in fact skew Joon's as much as you like - as long as D+E = 180 it works.
-
@joonturbo @Gib the sides of the pentagon are still parallel, which is the key part. You can tile any pentagon where that's true.

@Willeth tiny bit icked by the CAH content, but I'm always happy when people make things with CBDQ. It's not so bad I'd be upset to host it.
-
@Willeth so: the following opinions are completely irrelevant as to whether you should use CBDQ.It's an open platform, and this isn't abuse.
-
@Willeth Buuut: I am okay with a random card playing as well as a person. That doesn't mean there's bad game design.
-
@Willeth The game is an excuse, a pretext to hang out with people for an evening. A social context. That's valuable.
-
@Willeth Like, who really cares who wins? CAH is nice because you can join, leave halfway and it doesn't matter.
-
@Willeth The content leads you towards making a lazy kind of joke that unthinkingly propagates stereotypes, which I'm generally down on.
-
@Willeth but you can also play in a way where your punchlines usually subvert those stereotypes interestingly.

3) Tech cos making things that don't scale. And then... hoping they'll figure it out on the way? Or just throwing bodies at the problem.
-
4) Badly paid bodies of course. The "trainers" may sit next to the engineers, but they're explicitly called out as contractors.
-
5) And all of this as a platform play! I am so sick of my choices being constrained by large companies vying to get underneath each other.
-
6) and also! (cc @martinhollis) i like using self-service machines because you can fuck up and no-one judges you. cyborgs give mixed signals
-
like, you're free to explore limits & break things in a way you shouldn't if there's a real person on the other end.
-
people aren't learnable systems, and you should be considerate when demanding things from them. what about sometimes-people?
-
@smestorp @martinhollis ouugh, yep, i can imagine.
-
what about people whose existence has been purposefully erased in favour of "magic"? (ie these screenshots getmagicnow.com/)
-
is the entire reason people want AI so they can have a servant they don't have to feel bad about or treat like a person?
-
i bet there's way more women on the trainer team than the engineering team working on M
-
@martinhollis @smestorp i'unno- private chat, usually a robot. i think people will forget it's sometimes people until suddenly they don't.

@hideous_ @pozorvlak clearly they only read cheesy heaving-bosoms fantasy in Star Trek
-
@hideous_ @pozorvlak sci-fi is only vaguely about futures anyway. It's more on a spectrum from fantastical adventures to alt ways of living
-
@jon_ellis if it was purely a landgrab no-one would stand for it. Instead it's mostly a landgrab.
-
@jon_ellis it just feels fucked that large companies have made it so you can't sell an executable file to a person without giving them 30%.
-
@jon_ellis I mean, I used to work at an SMS aggregator, selling the ability to text adverts at people (ok ok, much different scale)
-
whyyy did i let myself get comfortable in a place and acquire so much STUFF. so many books!

@chromatogram i don't know, do you need to find & move house in the next few weeks?

feels good to reconnect with things i'm actually nostalgic about, rather than generic commercial nostalgia
-
but it's a shame early windows stuff is so hard to run these days
-
@mousefountain i've always read it as the latter, but there's shades of the former, to be sure
-
@shahidkamal plain C# will work msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.readalltext%28v=vs.110%29.aspx - or you can use WWW.text (with a file:// at the start of the path)
-
@shahidkamal the tricky bit is getting a reliable path to the content when it's built.
-
@shahidkamal or if you want to use Unity's resource management, docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-TextAsset.html will work.
-
@shahidkamal yeah, previously you had to do .json.txt - terrible times.
-
@shahidkamal it's a lovely language, though I only really know it in the context of Unity. When you're ready for it, Linq is amazing.
-
@alicemazzy @nachimir why do people think this way? because it works that way 80% of the time

@alicemazzy @nachimir i really do spend the vast majority of my time on the net only interacting with people i've chosen to

@realnoyb entirely welcome! It had @D_Nye_Griffiths literally rolling on the floor laughing

I... have a flat?! That I can live in on an ongoing basis?! I don't entirely believe it.

@realnoyb no, sorry, it wasn't filmed. Pretty similar to the Pop-Up Arcade version, though.
