You should always have unique secrets with your friends, so if you get into a bodyswap comedy situation you can persuade them you're you.

Ideally one you can communicate with a paw, or by scratching a pattern in the ground with a hoof. Just in case.

@mink_ette it's a trick.

@mink_ette no, though that might well work

does anyone know of a way to go from a element in a JS object to the start and offset for it within a JSON string?
-
@polclarissou @adrielbeaver slowly, and with a lot of "hmmm..."s
-
@aeleitch the length of the string that matches that node
-
@deathmtn the roundtrip is lossy, though, because of whitespace. I think I'd have to write my own JSON parser?
-
@ArtisanalZeros yup (quickly photoshopped on in this image)
-
@ArtisanalZeros elements are (very frequently) repeated. Though I guess if I picked one at random that'd work for now...
-
@deathmtn see my response to the original tweet for context - that'd mean disallowing whitespace when writing CBDQ bots.
-
@deathmtn I could, but it seems like a 'mare given Tracery variables, and the common occurrence of "node" : ["thing", "thing", "rare thing"]
-
@deathmtn oh, and escaped quotes etc...
-
@tinysubversions I think it would be not too hard to do, if I did it at the same time as writing a JSON parser. Might not do that, though...

@polclarissou the diameter is about the same as the length of a big meeting hall? or the length of a block of flats?

@polclarissou they're the diameter of the diameter of a gas storage thingy.

@radiatoryang thinking on this a bunch w/ bots. A great community, great work, people should get paid... but then what about the community?

@aeleitch haha. Sure. I mainly just get mad that the particle effects are always a bit boring.

Eurovision means that people are excited to watch a Justin Timberlake medley. It's beautiful.
-
@iamcarneiro I assume people are watching at someone else's house, while drinking. I am!
-
@iamcarneiro I love it. I love all the things where everyone tweets about the same event at the same time.
-
@iamcarneiro but yeah, I wouldn't watch Eurovision at home. But I'll make an effort to go to a Eurovision party and be sarky on the Internet

@iamcarneiro yeah, non-bot tweets are 80% eurovision rn. It's nice!

I drew Australia here, so I am also delighted they're leading.

Glad for an advert break. The rules say I have to drink for 10s or 12s for Australia. Too much. I'm on borrowed booze.

@whatisian of course - for me an important aspect of generative art is that it is about the possibility space, rather than the generated art
-
@whatisian (not to be all "art police" - i'm not sure that applies to all works. but it applies to a lot!)
-
@whatisian like, really who cares how big the possibility space is? it's easy to broaden it without making the output more interesting.

What's better: a game with one perfect moment/mechanic/part, or a game without any duff bits
-
@jmickle_ just thinking! I have an answer for myself, and it influences my philosophy of games.
-
@jmickle_ def agree that being perfect is not the same as being good/enjoyable. More about absolutely nailing what you aimed to do.
-
@jmickle_ but equally games can have transcendent moments mixed with straight up bad stuff. Or even average stuff.
-
@jmickle_ but also, I think one great decision can be enough to make a game great, or at least worthwhile.
-
@jmickle_ like... the menu knocking the tower over in Cat Cat Watermelon. It makes the game for me.
