PTP, so I guess lots of Peer-To-Peer networking.

The crates underneath the grate in the multiplayer Sewers level of Perfect Dark cannot be picked up because they are non-solid textures. If you managed to parkour along the walls out of bounds to get to there, they would not give you anything.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Crouton?

Yeah same, I do sometimes get replies from people outside of this network but those accounts are just so much dread.

It is a combination of existential dread and instant gratification, and it is reflective of one's posts, replies, and reposts.

Everyone definitely needs more 2-hour Starcraft Brood War compstomps with simcitying sessions, just put those supply depots boxes next to the barracks. There is no shame.

Rattata is best Pokemon! Do love your art as well!

Okay now that I am on vacation from my full-time job and I can be on social media more. I am finding that the general populous is just fucking unhinged, like damn had no idea it was this bad.

Definitely this!

Bleh, hopefully that helps. Know the feeling of brain stuff.

This refactor of the build pipeline has been going well so far, hopefully soon I will be able to migrate away from CircleCI to self-host instead.
November 24, 2025 at 7:05 PM
Same!
November 24, 2025 at 7:03 PM
Ah, I take it your question was not in earnest.

With Adafruit? They are not run by the people in question, so it is really up to you to make that decision.

It is a conflict between the company founder's spouse (who also founded Hackaday) and a rather toxic software preservationist/developer.

Toxic/Poisonous People are not healthy to be around.
November 24, 2025 at 6:13 PM
Unfortunately saw the Mastodon Adafruit stuff happening, it is basically two drama magnets being attracted to each other. They both have a history of being banned in many places for abject absurdity.

"Revealing origin" thing?

Not specifically that specific BASIC, however for programming in the logical sense if you have the code I could take a look at it.

*pet pets!*

Yeee! sqk sqk!

Happy birthday!

I have had good experiences with Wacoms when they are used as touch-screens for ThinkPads, for both touch and the stylus, but these do end up being properly factory calibrated. They have been the only displays that are on the mark, but that might be where their priorities are.

Flatpak as an application developer really sucks. It just places too many arbitrary limitations just to even build Flatpaks in the first place.
