Niche mechanics are my jam. My favorites usually revolve around unique economies or structures that create their own depth of play.
I love genre benders and sandboxy stuff. I'd like to see something like Chaos Seed (SNES) built on or re-imagined, dwarf fortress is great for tinker-ability, and I always liked how Nethack has some deeply designed interactions even if they can seem superficial or esoteric. FFXII with the gambit and realtime-ish combat systems was always a standout too.
I've been eyeing Guix for a while but haven't jumped in yet. Honestly, I feel like I'm finally getting comfortable with nixos and flakes over the years. There's quite a bit of un/relearning to do, and I can't tell if the flow of Guix's channels/inferiors would match the ease of composability that I like with flakes. The lock system really does it for me and I don't like the idea of hunting down refs to pin manually or maintaining my own frankenstein repo (other than my config).
That said, I do use emacs and actually like lisp, so I'm torn right now.
Was about to bring up the pagers cause that's literal state sanctioned terrorism any way you look at it. It's still surprisingly unsurprising that we're cool with it.
Idk about the laws in Europe, but an accidental trust violation with that bullshit is actually hilarious. Big tech stepping on their own toes.
It can feel that way when communism isn't really understood. It's not communism because it's still capitalism, explicitly. 10% of shares makes the government insider capital, nothing else, and definitely not communist.
It's communism when the workers seize the means of production. The thing is, this is not a workers' government.
Neat project! Kind of makes me think Habbo + Warioware or something. This is on another level entirely, but multiplayer and player-made minigames/content would make an interesting roblox-like.
I really don't understand these comments. There is no distraction; both are symptoms of the same disease, and everyone in power is past worrying about diverting attention.
It's the car culture I tell ya
None of them do. They just edit things down to the very few moments that make them look like they're winning a debate, and even those moments are superficial, construed, or they don't know that they're actually losing. If it's live or in person, conflicting views and evidence are avoided or just ignored. They're all snakes as if snakes were made of slime.
There's a lot of uncanny movement for sure. It looks almost like it's stabilized sometimes.
I'd say it's either AI or Disney animatronic.
I'm honestly doubting it will get there someday, at least with the current use of LLMs. There just isn't true comprehension in them, no space for consideration in any novel dimension. If it takes incredible resources for companies to achieve sometimes-kinda-not-dogshit, I think we might need a new paradigm.
