The only thing my mom told me that has remained true as I became an adult is that Jerry Seinfeld is not a good actor

the fact that avocados are incredibly good for you is probably the best justification for worshipping god

If it is difficult for you to make your controls rebindable, you made the game incorrectly

what is a shame regarding goldeneye 64 is that its single player campaign, while bad, has a lot of compelling ideas that deserve to be done better:

  • finite health! you only one life and missions usually take 10-15 minutes, so your mistakes have consequences!
  • open-ended, sandbox-y level design (the way this is implemented is a net negative because they go too far, creating formless, maze-like levels, but the idea is fundamentally good)
  • the game is fundamentally objective-based, so you won't win just by getting to the end of the level. they squeeze a lot out of some relatively small environments this way
  • the most interesting approach to difficulty i have ever seen in a shooter (difficulty not only improves AI accuracy and increases their health, but also adds additional, extremely non-trivial objectives)

to be fair, i've never played the multiplayer, which was the whole damn reason it was popular in the first place.

the single player campaign is one of the most consistently infuriating gaming experiences i have ever had

fuck typescript im gonna rawdog some pure untranspiled es6. as a treat

it is a shame that the javascript ecosystem is so fucked because the language itself delights me

an onion is carmelized when heated. a properly carmelized onion takes many hours to create.

so, too is my brain. i see now, that my mind is not being burnt, but instead carmelized into its final, delicious form

it would be fun to set up a machine like asec's tf machine so that i can alternate between yeehaw and toasty
