CBDQ update: looks like CBDQ is starting to outgrow my server! seeing some bots fail, general unhappiness. my apologies!

i am taking out the hacky anti-clustering code i put in (to stop all the CBDQ bots tweeting entirely at once) - this might help
-
there are longer-term fixes on the way, but work and life means it might take a little while.
-
if you've not noticed anything, don't worry. if you're affected, sorry (also, tell me, that might be useful info!).
-
@joonturbo i might well do that! but not tonight
-
@joonturbo also generally this code is bad and i should make it better.
-
@hypirlink i'm not that embarrassed, it just... wasn't designed to be worked on by anyone other than me, on one particular server.
-
@hypirlink (i'm actually pretty proud of how well it has held up to running without maintenance, which was a huge design constraint initially)
-
@hypirlink anyway, the good news is that i've done some of the groundwork for that recently (i have a dev copy?? i can run locally??)
-
@hypirlink so, yeah, i might well hit you up for help some time. but my suspicion is that all the svg bots just suck up a bunch of memory??
-
@hypirlink not a worry! and yeah, thanks!

@FinalBullet @tigershungry @patrickashe to be clear, i'm not mad if it was, it's just interesting. i've distantly known of Clouds for long enough to never appreciate it properly
-
@FinalBullet @tigershungry @patrickashe and most of my reaction to this was kinda covered by that - ie, the context shifts the piece does (but this time also war => tranquility)

@FinalBullet @tigershungry @patrickashe but beyond that: it was peaceful, and the blue was good, and drifting through the 5 screens was good, and i like the jet engine pulse

-
@nielsen_holly this is fascinating to think about - the gameplay stays within a fairly narrow band for most of these games- is it just design conservatism?
-
@nielsen_holly changing the gameplay so it's more skill & less luck based also feels like it undermines the message, perhaps more fundamentally?

@Coleo_Kin we had slime and gunge but it was just on tv or came pre-packaged. slime as an expansion of maker aesthetics into younger age categories!
-
@Coleo_Kin thinking of it, a bunch of the big kid's crazes in recent years are generic. a lot of them when i was a kid were from specific brands...
-
loom bands, fidget spinners, slime vs Pokemon cards, Pogs, Tamagotchis, Beanie Babies are kids crazes more likely to be generic these days?
-
@Coleo_Kin i've only seem little bits of it, but, yeah, same. i mean, it's not like kids are more creative nowadays, there's just a bigger audience
-
@ohhoe i remember slime growing up, but it was never homemade slime? obv this is (well, was) very culturally-specific
-
@BCWallin YouTube is i think the biggest factor here? but also Online in general, yeah.
-
@Coleo_Kin yah, for sure. but Internet culture sucked hard when i was growing up, just in different ways

@Coleo_Kin it was a currently-ongoing IRL orgy, which one of the participants had ducked out of to invite people on IRC

@mewo2 games are real big and labour intensive, tho, so it kinda makes sense
-
@mewo2 you can't make a Hollywood-grade movie by just working more hours, but you could make a triple A game if you just spent multiple lifetimes
-
@mewo2 and this is one of the big things you'd learn if you made several things! which they're not, because they're still working on ...
-
fuck off with your gibibytes and mebibytes
-
@mewo2 yeah, i mean, if it makes them happy, go for it, and just maybe it'll work out. but also don't come on Twitter and explain shit to Zoe.

@mewo2 (also it seems very unlikely to work out. but that's fine! as long as they're not hurting anyone else)

went downstairs to find my flatmate looking radiant, surrounded by flowers she was arranging to put around the flat. lovely.
-
Guy Fieri's show is all about him going to people's restaurants and getting excited about the things they make. what's not to love?
-
@FakeUnicode yep, pretty much

@WordMercenary also he's a fat dude promoting trashy, fattening food, and doing so without a visible sense of irony

@vectorpoem i'm actually encouraged by the response to Mordor, as (that i've seen) it's "it's rich & makes you care & also is dehumanizing and terrible"

@vectorpoem good! you figured out how to make people care about characters. now... think through the consequences of that.
-
if you would like to read a book that has thought about the problem of Orcs, I can recommend The Last Ringbearer
-
it is very, uh, mechanically driven (focused more on worldbuilding & plot machinery than characters), but sometimes i like that
-
(and, like, characters do exist and have personalities, and some are sympathetic, so it's not like it's an vacant Greg Egan hellscape)

@GalaxyKate @inky thinking of watching Yowapeda- the plot advances, but mainly it's "characters you know continue to act in ways characteristic of themselves"

@thatJaneNg @LiaSae the US is easier because that's where the center of gravity for media, shows, platforms, big publishers etc is
-
@thatJaneNg @LiaSae (VC funding too). but sometimes in Europe you can make a living making games with government/cultural funding !
-
@thatJaneNg @LiaSae though this is basically great & has enabled a lot of good stuff, there's a problem where it can cause a disconnect with the market.
-
@thatJaneNg @LiaSae which filters into funding programmes requiring business cargo cult stuff, which ruins the games & doesn't make them commercially viable
-
@thatJaneNg @LiaSae all of which said, it's still a much better situation. but you can also achieve the same effect by just starting with a pile of cash.
-
@thatJaneNg @LiaSae or, for health: just ... not having health insurance for a while, and not getting unlucky. that seems pretty common, too!
-
@LiaSae @thatJaneNg yeah, for sure. but see the replies about cargo cult stuff. and yr studio optimizes for getting funding, not connecting with an audience.

i am doing work on CBDQ, and ... i wanna close a db connection when i'm done doing stuff (within a mess of callbacks). what do i use?

i'm pretty sure the answer is something like Promises or async or something. but JS has a lot of tooling. what's the boring answer?

@aiusepsi @vectorpoem These things would help others, at the risk of not making Valve more valuable / him richer.

@aiusepsi @vectorpoem But ultimately hoping for those with vastly more power than you to choose to do the benevolent thing is... not the best.

@aiusepsi @vectorpoem But, faced with that, saying "ah, but he'd have to sell his shares to do anything", as if those shares are inevitable and inexorable...

just learned Opus Magnum locks global leaderboards for levels until you've completed the game and i'm very impressed by this design thinking

(why? the game's joy comes from hyper-optimizing your solutions, and this way you won't get stuck trying to beat the world on an early level

instead, you'll do well enough, you can beat your friends, then move on. and the real heads can go back and replay it all for perfection)

@betterthemask So, Ladykiller : my favourite characters were the Boy and the Photographer, because they were both bad people, and messy situations
-
@betterthemask (I want to apologise for calling them bad, which is interesting in itself. They're messed up, they're having Times, you learn their shit)
-
@betterthemask And both paths, you end up having a thing happen and it's clearly not going to go anywhere. But there's real intimacy there.
-
@betterthemask And no one is really regretting it, it's a thing, and I can imagine the characters feeling (from a distance) fond about it & each other.
-
@betterthemask I've never seen that in a game before, but I've been in situations like that in real life. More of that, please.
-
@pozorvlak I want all of my code to be boring (or, to have very calculated elements of excitement).
-
@pozorvlak I hate landing in new code and having to hack through layers of abstraction to find out what it's actually doing beneath all the cleverness.
-
@pozorvlak Obviously that's sometimes worthwhile! But if it's not core, if it's not deduplicating something that happens a lot...

haven't yet played, but seeing comments like: "Wolfenstein: TNC's commitment to diversity elevates it above it's pulp roots"
-
but i am deeply uneasy with games being praised purely for their diversity. being conscious of this is the baseline.
-
but in this setting, I'm on board, precisely because it's not elevating it from pulp. it's still pulp, just... pulp for the other people.
-
sometimes violent power fantasies can be fun and cathartic? and violent power fantasies don't have to equal regressive politics.

(here's a strong accidental manifesto on diversity from @kierongillen: dorkland.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/kieron-gillen-on-diversity.html on comics, but applies just as much to games)
