how tf do you spell mnemonic
Extremely obnoxious that you have to spend money to read the C++ specification
Which concept is more challenging to learn?
baldur's gate 3
the fact that this has two sources is fucking sending me

i think a lot about the cutscenes in this game and how uncanny the procedural animations look. it's something you just have to get over quickly if you're going to invest in the narrative.
which is a shame because the technology here is impressive and clearly took enormous work to make functional (any character you can make in the character creator works in any cutscene with any armor or clothing! there are cutscenes where the characters models flex their eye muscles to get smiling eyes!!!!)
i wonder if it was really worth it though. it's hard not to compare bg3 to disco elysium (which is more or less this generation's planescape torment). disco elysium sticks to the isometric perspective completely and doesn't really have cutscenes. and it's not distracting, there is much less uncanniness, and it will age spectacularly.
i can't help but feel that it would have been a better use of resources if most dialogue occurred in dialogue trees (keep the voice acting though!!!!!) and then particularly important moments have hand-animated cutscenes

apparently fans have collectively decided that shadowheart's nickname is "shart"

I'm at the point where I can tell you whether something is an lvalue, xvalue, or prvalue but i still don't understand why xvalue needed to be introduced.

@Lady I keep feeling like I want to have a linux machine -- I love playing with them and helping take care of them, and so many of my friends have linux machines that, well, you know.
But it's a lot of responsibility! And I just.. don't feel like I'm on top of everything yet. I feel like I need to get my life together first.
so glad i am finished with my hobby (work) so i can go back to doing my job (playing baldur's gate 3)
