ttrpg stuff, about me
a friend asked what stuff in rpg systems i tend to geek out the most about, and after some difficulty i ended up arriving at: i am into chargen and advancement mechanics that draw players into the setting and/or situation and then provide a medium through which to express themselves (bonus points for expressing what they care about or what they think)
thinking of getting really into the mountain goats
@wallhackio re previous good word request: consider "tetchy".
they might be giants song theme from flood accurately depicts the experience of listening to they might be giants album flood
in search of hardcore bands with overly political music that didn’t turn weirdly conservative or fascist and also didn’t decide to switch to playing metal. please recommend
@Lady slightly curious as to what has you reading up on richard bartle
noooo, not morning hiccups. i h8 it
re: actual spoiler bit of popular movie reaction
@wallhackio oh i wasn't even complaining about that whole bit (which, not really a strong scene but less remarkable imo), more just the like drawn out slow-motion once Helen starts to move toward the Mona Lisa security override after the place is already burning
programming
oh no because i find python kinda viscerally aesthetically displeasing (woops initially wrote this as literally the opposite)
programming
oh no i kinda really dig the way this python web api framework works
actual spoiler bit of popular movie reaction
the mona lisa burning scene was really tedious tho. like the event itself and the aftermath scene are good payoffs for all the prior setup, but dragging out Helen getting there like that was just annoying. also why didn’t we hear the shield activating for like five minutes beforehand anyway. apparently it was still functioning but like, just not making any noise despite being significantly loud earlier in the film?
popular movie reaction
glass onion was quite good. it had certain weak points but the second segment of the film was very well done.
@Lady i usually have the problem that by the time i get to a point of being able to tell anybody my memory of the dream has decohered to the point that all i can say is “you were in it” and maybe the vibe of one segment of the dream (but usually the vibe shifts a lot so that’s just be misleading)
food
oh no a piece of uncooked pasta fell on the floor and shattered but the floors are wood and the lighting is kinda orange anyway
@Satsuma i don't understand why you would care about 17 when 7 already divides it
programming
why do all the popular javascript frontend approaches to managing state seem so hostile to abstraction
unrelatedly why does leslie fish have such a thing for kipling anyway
@wallhackio i like “fremd” (which i learned thru @Lady’s influence). whither/hither/thither and whence/hence/thence are kinna basic but, properly used, they are underrated i think
