@sheilamu congrats on getting your phone back!

@sheilamu damn, now I'm sorry I got slapped with a condom in 2015...

@sheilamu I mean, rather than 2016...
-
@radiatoryang like, my honest thought about this is to figure out the secret constraints on the design that allow this to be.
-
@radiatoryang maybe it's just by that point yr stuck in it and it doesn't matter. But it seems a common weakness.

@JFriedhoff i'm in post-NYE party having a cup of tea at 4am before bed mode, and... hi
-
@radiatoryang but it works, because it's a modifier you can told not-upfront. big focus on clear (not necessarily true) goals.
-
@JFriedhoff i had a good time. hoping you get a cute/friendly/aggressive, but only from people who that's safe & entertaining from time!

@JFriedhoff happy new year to you too!!! maybe see you when i'm briefly in NY in a few weeks?

@KommanderKlobb @torahhorse what's the best Toca Boca game? This is for a thing.
-
@hannahnicklin @jawsew I'll take it
-
@jawsew sure, that sounds fun
-
@jawsew jordan, you definitely do feel emotions. you can tell because "smug" is an emotion.
-
why is it that actual books on Amazon are usually cheaper bought via Book Depository (an Amazon owned company)?
-
worth noting that Book Depository has it's own site, which is more expensive (that part makes sense, i guess)
-
@AOsher it is! i just ate a fried breakfast and now i'm buying some books!
-
@AOsher i'm sitting in Market Cafe by the canal right now
-
@KommanderKlobb haha. that makes sense. though the problem is not really in the game...
-
@KommanderKlobb i absolutely loved Toca Hair Salon 2, but none of the others have captured my interest quite the same way.
-
@KommanderKlobb something about the tactility, the interplay of constraints you have to work with...
-
@KommanderKlobb and now looking for Now Play This - something for kids is good, but mainly digging into a theme of player creativity.
-
@Willeth most times I look, yeah! Bit tricky to figure, as shipping is free on their site, but £2-3 on Amazon, but generally works that way.
-
@KommanderKlobb definitely will! they had a blocks one before which was fun, but i had trouble finding goals to set myself

@KommanderKlobb maybe!

@hoskingc (previous flat was p much the same deal, except that beneath the windows was some stupid panelling that let the cold through)
-
@hoskingc nah, just like... a metal panel in the lower bit of the window frame.
-
@hoskingc yeah - here's a pic
-
@hoskingc anyway - lotta natural light, faces other blocks so there's an internal courtyard, decent balcony area... generally a fan.

@GalaxyKate i learnt Python and i like it a bunch - but the surface simplicity hides a lot of weird, and it's not good for doing gamey stuff
-
@GalaxyKate honestly these days I use JS for most things I used to use Python for.

@GalaxyKate yeah, it's good for that stuff. as a "better Bash script" it's amazing. worth playing with, for it's own sake, anyway.

-
@ellaguro i think maybe parts are okay? games has gotten too big to be a single community, so fragmenting is fine.
-
@ellaguro better it fragments than everyone keeps up the strained pretence that everyone is friends &c.
-
@ellaguro the parts that are important is that people can be in good communities, and that it's open to new people joining.
-
@ellaguro maybe. it feels like the actual way people join these communities, get their work seen is longer and more complicated than just
-
@ellaguro being able to respond to people on twitter, etc.
-
@ellaguro yeah, it's weird. one reason i'm okay with stuff splitting off - it means different groups can have different goals more easily.

@robertwhat420 @ellaguro I was thinking about the School For Poetic Computation in NY earlier.

-
@shahidkamal a lot of it is having a single style and nailing it. but that's not all there is.
-
@shahidkamal every pixel should feel like it's the right pixel to be there.
-
@shahidkamal (i don't know if i can think of any realistic 3D games that achieve this)
-
@shahidkamal i think so, but that's a much lower bar for a painting to meet. or maybe our standards are too low in games.
-
i can't seem to write a JS regex to do this: "{match this} not this {this too} \{not this, this is escaped\} not {this, though}{and this}"
-
help please? the best i could do was /([^\\]?\{(.+?[^\\])\})+/ but it doesn't work when the closing and opening tags are too close together
-
@deathmtn i can't think of a way to do multiple passes without getting messed up with matching start and end if it misses the escaping.
-
@deathmtn i guess i could glom everything between an unescaped { and } and then recurse down... ick, tho
-
@tef I don't need to do proper nested brackets, they'll only every be one level deep - that should make it tractable, right?
-
@mcclure111 nope
-
@deathmtn yep. fuller example: gist.github.com/v21/359254a7cd7dc40ff2de
-
@deathmtn yeah - the problem is if the <not a backslash> char we check for first is also part of the previous set of brackets...
-
@Draknek oh, yeah, sorry, my actual best effort was /(?:[^\\]?\{(.+?[^\\])\})+/ . yrs fails on "{thing}\{not a thing}", right?
-
@infovore oh, underspecified, sorry - the escaped brackets might not match..
-
@deathmtn i think i've hooked enough smart people without getting a solution - if it's not done by then I should probably just not regex...
-
@infovore updated - but the "\{" is there to allow people to put (unmatched, matched, whatever) curly braces in as literals.
-
@mcclure111 oh, yeah, that makes sense... i'll try to add that to what i had before
-
@antumbral @BooDooPerson @mcclure111 ugh. so easy to slip just the wrong side of complexity... (you might well be right)
-
@infovore yeah - irritatingly i now know enough about the problem to write the regex in Ruby... but not JS.
-
@infovore negative lookbehind, but yeah.
-
thank you everyone for your help. i have now learned that the reason i was having difficulty is because it is a difficult thing to do.
-
@akalsey @mheadd more detailed examples here: gist.github.com/v21/359254a7cd7dc40ff2de (but i thiiiink i at least understand the solution space)
-
@akalsey @mheadd even if gist.github.com/BooDoo/3b45f81fecd6869fbfbf is currently winning as a solution
-
for reference, the solution I'm going with, courtesy @BooDooPerson, is to reverse it, then regex it gist.github.com/v21/0dbfa4a9b6b9e9f63d23

@NotInventedHere wait, nvm, twitter search found it
-
@NotInventedHere @space_stories this is totally the case, and my bad for not catching it when i upgraded Tracery.
-
@NotInventedHere @space_stories as a workaround, moving setPronouns into origin will work... not ideal, and i'm sure it's broken for others
-
@NotInventedHere @space_stories but the fix will be somewhere in the guts of Tracery itself, which I'm maybe not competent to fix.
-
@NotInventedHere @space_stories I have opened an issue on the Tracery github github.com/galaxykate/tracery/issues/14 (cc @GalaxyKate)

@UnburntWitch me toooo... i put in a huge grant app for making one last year, and it very nearly got accepted...
-
@UnburntWitch it was even high concept! you were the tamagotchi, looking out through LCD interface, and monsters looked after youuuu...
-
@UnburntWitch & @Dick_Hogg was on board to do character & interface design... ah! what a cool project.

@UnburntWitch anyway, as a result i went trawling through all the tamagotchi games i could find and they all sucked.

@whatisian so: as per blog.radiator.debacle.us/2015/10/not-manifesto.html the conversation is part of the work, and trying to influence that conversation is valid.

@NoraReed no worry((s))

the mysteries of phantomjs2 still elude me, though - if anyone knows a npm package that provides phantomjs2 enabled svg to png rendering...
-
@notquitereal "I always liked broken games the best, anyway"
-
@notquitereal this one is a bit of a riff off @martinhollis's old "I'm making a game about love"
-
@tinysubversions the SVG support is currently via svg2png, which uses phantom internally.
-
@tinysubversions but it's super finickety and janky rn, and apparently phantomjs2 is better at that?
-
@tinysubversions the other thing i need to do is surface errors, allow interactively rendering stuff on the server, feedback on bad SVGs...
-
@tinysubversions but i figured swapping out svg2png for the version of svgexport i found that used phantomjs2 internally would be quick...

@alicemazzy market forces are not neutral or natural - they're a response to particular environments, which are affected by policy.

@alicemazzy I enjoyed this summary of executive pay trends in the UK: theguardian.com/politics/reality-check-with-polly-curtis/2011/nov/22/pay

the best thing about the witness is all the people incidentally getting hyped for stephen's sausage game
-
(i have not played the witness - i cba with line puzzles rn. might pick it up in a year when it gets cheap)
-
@alicemazzy so, on the one hand, there's a lot of bad policy, and layering more bad policy on top is not a good fix, agreed.
-
@alicemazzy but on the other: i disagree with the implicit idea that there is a possible "undistorted" market, that policy fucks with.
-
@alicemazzy it seems clear to me that markets naturally tear themselves apart, and are always artificially sustained by policy.
-
@alicemazzy yeah, this is definitely a big problem. but most of the practical attempts to reduce the surface area of govt are ...
-
@alicemazzy ... structured in such a way as to obviously provide benefits for established interests in the area. so i am mistrustful.
-
@alicemazzy far prefer seeing ways to harden this, by giving proportionally more lobbying power to other, non-biz, groups.
-
@alicemazzy big fan of campaign finance reform for this reason, frinstance.
-
some great writing on the witness by @mcclure111 here: vote.runhello.com/w/

-
@KommanderKlobb too late. but also i'm not gonna play the witness any time soon, if ever, so *shrug*.
-
@KommanderKlobb (because it is $40, and if recent experience is any guide, i am v unlikely to play more than a few hours of it if i did buy)
-
@mink_ette @KommanderKlobb but if so, the experience will be tinged with nostalgia for @mcclure111's great points about art vs science.
