@pdcawley easy enough while I’m on primarily one system. For my partition-bouncing habit, I’ve got some ideas with building a history file from git and stat.

@gamingonlinux I have to remind myself how big Pokemon is — across multiple generations — to partially explain how a game concept like this would appeal to people.

Because I’m drawing a big “meh” on Palworld, but that was my reaction when Pokemon came out too.

Gonna play some #Enshrouded later but first I had to fix an oops

@Mnemonic @lordbowlich @gamingonlinux that’s awesome!

I was just never moved by the competitive collecting idiom, back to when Magic: The Gathering came out.

But one workplace had a poster with all the Pokemon evolution diagrams at the time, and I loved staring at that thing.

@Viss capitalism being what it is — and Amazon being who it is — I assume either it was costing too much to process loads of requests, or was about to cost a lot from liability.

Abusing pytest.mark.parametrize so three lines of code creates and runs 788 tests.

hackers.town: 2024-01-24 Wed 11:30

course when it fails you have to run again with pytest -x to find the first of 384 errors but hey that’s part of the fun.

@rgegriff I —

I don’t think so?

But the Internet is weird.

So maybe? Perhaps metaphysically??

hackers.town: 2024-01-24 Wed 11:33

@rgegriff no but I can point you right at (the last pushed version of) my abuses:

So I think I’ve looked up enough to understand basically Palworld is Calvin peeing on a Ford logo, but for Pokemon.

@lmorchard dammit friend this was supposed to a shitpost, not accurate insight.

@DionRa Enjoy!

My inbox tells me The Zed editor is now open source. Cool! Wonder if it supports WSL in any way.

Download options are DMG and source. Okay so maybe no WSL today.

@klardotsh It’s been a real fractured conversation, but we are connected and maybe a few more days of getting sufficient rest will continue to soothe my assorted ADHD dysfunctions and help me continue that conversation. Mai seems real nice though!

@tk No I think I’m doing enough damage in the first one.

Pylance code refactoring tools slightly less helpful with Pytest fixture arguments.

I’m so easily pleased but whatever George Takei has started adding alt text and I am happy.

#Enshrouded already has two hotfixes out and I haven’t even had a chance to open it yet today.

hackers.town: 2024-01-24 Wed 20:39

So I played Enshrouded for a bit and — it’s fine. For day one early access, pretty good. But I feel like it needs to cook more, and they’re way too eager to please with how they a) set up achievements already; b) set them at low enough thresholds that I was at 10% of achievements after 45 minutes?!

@IamMrsGeek Oh that is lovely!
