I think the fucked up part is not the not having meaning, its the, if there is no meaning why the fuck do we still have a society based on perpetual human suffering for profit. Lets make something better.
I love how theyre so buoyant they kinda wobble around the oceans. So many way more effective and mobile species get unlucky while these little guys just putter around.
Edit: lol, I haven’t realised I’m not in a video game subforum. But my point stands and I agree that old software should be pirated or downloaded for free if the proprietor is a jackass that no longer provide support but still try to milk every cent from a dead horse.
Devil’s advocate: old games don’t have great quality of life improvements that we take for granted today and having remakes could fix the issues.
I played Civilizations 3 again and even though the graphics still hold up quite well by today’s standards, the UI doesn’t hold a candle to the later releases. Suffice to say, I won’t be playing Civ 3 again despite having grown up with the game. Old games like Civ 3 requires you to have like OCD and be extremely patient, which is something you can’t really have as an adult with less time to play videogames. There are old games that would require retouching-- without the baggage of parasitic modern trends of course like DLshit and microtransactions.
I agree, I’m not saying companies should legally prevent consumers from playing old games. These games are twenty years old and companies should not try to squeeze every cent from the IP they have practically abandoned.
People with OCD struggle more with patience than neurotypicals. They feel an intense need to fulfil their compulsions right now, they’re bad at waiting.
Don’t forget the centipede crawling around in the sewer pipes named Fortran. We’ve all been trying to kill it for years and yet, somehow, it keeps going.
I used to love it, but all the non-standard evaluation started to give me a headache.
It’s easy enough to just not use it at all, except for ggplot which recently deprecated aes_() which fucking kills me; they really are dead-set on forcing tidy evaluation.
Maan, I am way too much of a himbo chemical engineering student yo understand what IDE means, had to channel my inner parent and ask a software guy for help
You don’t really have to. You could save the workspace along with the history of you commands to load it at a later time, and never have a script at all.
The reason nobody really does that (except maybe if they use R once in every decade) is that it’s not really viable in the middle-term. That is because it doesn’t distinguish between failed attempts and actual, final code and so quickly becomes a mess.
