Me ordering the ribeye.

Wait… wait… [chewing] he’s got a point

Fair point. Hmmm…. The Atari version of pac man.

That thing was just… bad.

I can’t recall a lot of just plain bad games except the ones cited. But looking forward to anybody else coming up with something they maybe jogs my memory

Zelda wand of Gamelon ET for the Atari

Similar answer to a different question.

Something that I liked at first but now dislike.

Decades ago (stone cold sober no less) I really liked Pink Floyd.

Now I just find it difficult to sit through. I want something a bit faster pace.

Yeah… I’m an idiot

Cool. Now do quantum bits so that they’re all simultaneously calculated. Wait… don’t

Or the router, in another state, and the person with access to the closet/server room knows how to push a few buttons at best.

That happens once… and you get misconfigophobia for life.

And utilities for identify the eventual duplicates to save space (while still ensuring you don’t have only 1 copy that can be corrupted)

Like anything else it’s always trade offs.

I don’t write games but a lot of people that do often say something similar. Do play tests for the concept/mechanics.

This way you don’t spend time/energy and resources on art and assets that won’t be used, etc.

Similar to a minimal viable product in regular dev or, perhaps a better analogy, technical demos.

You want to write a site or app that fetches API data for GPS, calendar and Weather and show them together? You don’t start with the UI. You start with:

• Can I get the GPS coordinates
• Can I call another API and get the weather for those coordinates?
• Can I get the coordinates or other info for some future location?
• Can I send that to get the weather?

Once you know you can and that it “works” you build around it.

So like you said. I have boxes, and this other box (or static PNG of a cat) moves around them and when I move this way it drops the box down on another box.

Does that work? Does it feel “fun” to arrange them? No, it feels tedious or can’t get the collision right? Then let’s try a different angle or taking the part that did work and iterating on it.

This also leaves you open to random bugs that end up being “fun” when you lean into them.

Game Makers Toolkit has some good videos on his journey making “Mind over Magnet”. Here’s the playlist.

There’s also PirateSoftware whose entire stream is devoted to “go and make games”

Windows when you can activate it without giving MS your info. Of course, like so many final bosses, it tends to come back harder the next phase.

Using iOS photo editing tools I take it?

That’s not an easy medium to work around, well done.

If I had to guess there would be, at the very least, some businesses that used their business continuity insurance.

Those companies, after paying those claims, will probably be expecting reimbursement or preparing to sue crowdstrike to recoup those costs.

If I recall correctly it’s important to be running ECC memory right?

Otherwise corrupter bites/data can cause file system issues or loss.

Exactly. And in such a scenario it becomes an issue for Kinkos

Issue here is that what’s in a safe deposit box isn’t also being shared/distributed. It is locked away.

If, however, they made copies of the contents of a box and put it in other boxes … and it came out somebody used that for CSAM then there probably would be some kind of liability.

Besides CSAM there’s also copyrighted material, etc which section 230 kind of covers but even then gets tricky since there’s a duty to respond to DMCA takedowns in order to get safe harbor protections.

Static files as in static file handling in a web server no CGI, modules, server side code required.

Make sure to use this version of the song

Floppy Disks - Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley

Ahh. The licorice jelly bean of music.

“Gross… here, try it”

Probably doesn’t help that they’re so popular that their music was licensed and became synonymous with commercials.

Same thing with the doors and all things Vietnam.

It’s true. And it’s worse since people worry about the security of the OS but download large batches of suspect apps and games.
