I think it means like on a personal level

Depends if you’re in a big numbers game or not. If your heavy hitting attack is doing 32 damage to the final boss, you’re not really going to feel that 1%

Tbh it would be nice to get those numbers down. Obviously not by privatising, but extending existing public capacity

As I recall The Last of Us two found a pretty organic sweet spot. The character you’re with would just make oblique observations if you were stuck for a while, increasingly explicit, until finally an actual icon would appear in the UI pointing you in the right direction (configurable).

I really do find hifi environments too busy to make out “significant” features, and if you’re not going to splash yellow paint on everything some kind of hint system is nice.

I’m having more fun with Supplice than any AAA shooter since… idk, 2016 at least.

In the second half you’re talking about dynamic imports right? Like fetching the html with JS and then loading that? I try and avoid doing that for various reasons

I think I get you? No JS involved, no dynamic requests from the client side. Opening the page in a browser, you’d just see the one page request which arrives fully formed looking like static html.

If you mean my scripting and emmet comment, I just meant to script the creation of the static html then serving it. But not like programmatically, more like for file in ./blogs/$(date -I).*/*; do cat $file >> ./blogs/$(date -I).serve-me.html; done or something (probably more rigorous than that, but that kind of mix of convention is semi automated hackery). I find non-commercial web pages don’t really need to change very much, so I’ll often just copy a header and footer into a file and fill in the middle manually. But I actually enjoy writing HTML. :9

I also try to avoid JS unless there’s something I really want to do with it. And then I like to offer a <noscript> alternative.

It’s not an only html solution, but I’m fond of using nginx server side v includes, which with a little setup let’s you do things

<--# set var="browser-title" value="Colophon" -->
<--# set var="page-title" value="oink" -->
<--# include file="/stubs/header.shtml" -->

You can do simple things like set variables and import reusable html templates. And since nginx is commonly used as the webserver or proxy you kind of get this functionality “for free.”

PS generating html by hand isn’t that bad though. You can either script it yourself or just have your own manual template html file that you base everything on, and/or use something like emmet/emmet-vim

Just to add a data point, I don’t drink alcohol but I do find a light beer if the summer, or a stout in the cool times, really enjoyable. But obviously if you don’t like the taste then you don’t like it!

Yeah the solution to this problem is “remote first” which to speak the language, also saves a bunch of money on middle managers who lack the object permanence to realise work gets done when they aren’t looking

it’s totally subjective

Yet we agree that there is such a thing as one movie being better than another

I mean I wouldn’t say that, it’s kind of the opposite of what I was saying actually. But if reviews form a kind of aggregate metric you find useful then that’s good for you.

Elsewhere I even talked about how frequently I disagreed with Siskel and Ebert’s thumbs ups/downs, but the text of their reviews at least showed me I would love a movie they thought was bad.

At the same time, the lie of self determination is an extremely useful one, but [sic?] as an individual, and as a society.

Do you mean both? to both individuals and societies?

I’m not sure I agree. I think much cruelty and misunderstanding is justified by the idea that someone could have chosen a different life.

I definitely think people can change for the better and we should encourage that, but I wonder if putting that all on them is even useful. To some it is, I’m sure, but …

I dunno the thought is still cooking.

I’m on it 🫡

Actually reminded me of Ebert’s review of The One. He roasted it while accurately predicting that a basic person like me would love it.

If you just saw 1.5/5 you’d think wow what a stinker and miss out on this incredible brainless vibe piece sitting at the border of 90-00 dripping in pre-cringe cool, just before everything would get way too gritty and serious.

I was specifically thinking about Siskel and Ebert while reading this post yeah. I actually loved their reviews.

Funnily enough I very frequently disagreed with their opinions, but between the two of them they explained so well what made the movie appealing or not, that I was able to make up my own mind based on the text of the review even if the “rating” was not one I agreed with.

And then of course the more you read a reviewer and get to know where your opinions line up and where they differ, the more useful their reviews become. Same thing with IRL friends ofc.

Yeah fedi needs a letterboxd. I kind of wonder if bookwyrm would be a good inspo for it.

Yeah these ratings are worse than useless. Oh The Abyss 14% better than Amelie?? Fuck off, Poindexter.

They’re completely disconnected from my own opinions and when I see then before watching a movie they just distract me by wondering what tf other were watching.

You can’t map.reduce this shit, it’s totally subjective

Even numbers when they get multiplied by 1: 😶

You’re forgetting 13((-n trap int when adding n))

While I’m not a very community focused person, finally grokking that everyone I see around where I live are real people that I’m in community with, has changed not just how I think of them but how I treat them.

Especially people I might not agree with, or my addict or unhoused neighbours. It’s pretty cool how just being genuine and open with people will change in turn their entire demeanor towards you.

Yeah once you dispel the idea of the soul you have to admit that if you were in anyone else’s position, like with their same upbringing and everything, that you would act exactly as they did.
