Pretty much all the games of my childhood. With a few exceptions, I don’t replay most games I enjoyed. I play once, usually say “that was cool.” And call it enough for a lifetime.

Sorry for necrobumping, but I am curious about what you’d recommend memorizing for a Jr Dev these days?

Other than fascism, what else is he into? Lean in that direction. Make it apparent that you are all a loving family, and he is a part of that as long as he remains willing to put in the work/maintenance that love requires.

I’ll be boring and say I’d party like it’s 2025 and Donald Trump has just died before taking the oath for President of the United States. Interpret that as you will.

Same. Best Game Series and storytelling Telltale has ever done.

There’s a lot of reasons people still eat fast food. Others have pointed out though that fast food these days isn’t all that cheap and in some cases isn’t even all that fast/convenient when compared to other alternatives.

I can’t speak to that as it’s been decades since I’ve stepped inside a fast food restaurant save to use the bathroom while traveling, but I can guess that it also has to do with nostalgia. Some people grew up eating that shit and it provides them with a sense of comfort and familiarity. While I’m not going to hold my breath, it is my hope that the predominance of fast food will die alongside cable news when the younger generations come of age.

It’s in it’s user profile.

The animation is incredibly stiff. Same poor quality animation from the recent Batman series as well. It’s painful to see.

Your quadriceps are the largest muscles in your body (the second largest being your lattisimus dorsi). That’s why squats are often considered to be the most effective exercise you can do for weight loss and muscle building.

It’s understandable that working the largest muscles in your body would cause you to potentially sweat more profusely than working your other muscles, though the amount you sweat is the result of a myriad of factors like genetics and overall health.

It’s a lot of work. I’m in a similar boat. I’ve been self teaching myself how to program in various languages and working as a Fullstack developer at a very small startup.

While I’ve learned alot, there’s always more to learn and finding direction is a challenge you’ll hit many times over if you stick with it.

Right now I’m reviewing various Open Source Projects I could contribute to as I know ultimately this will make me a much better developer. There are so many CLI and web development tools I use that I’d like to expand on but will require a marginal jump in my skills. Here are a few examples:

• Add a feature to the rTorrent client that would allow it to torrent over i2p
• Expand the amount of tools available within the SolidJS framework ecosystem to be competitive with React’s ecosystem.
• Create a HTTP server in Rust that has feature parity with Golang’s Caddy
• Add a feature to AntennaPod akin to YouTube Sponsor block that would allow for user contributed timestamps to facilitate auto skipping of ad mentions in podcast episodes.

I also am slowly working out plans to learn enough about Rust and browsers to recreate the terminal based browser Links in Rust.

But these are all just me spitballing. In truth, my skills aren’t quite there yet and the amount of time to get there for each one of these is a lot. So I have to choose wisely and dive in deep on the project’s codebase, probably for at least a year or more to make headway. But this is the mindset I think might help you. Look into the software you use a lot or like the concept of. Figure out how you’d like to improve it or add to it. Reach out to the developers of said software however you can, either make your case for the improvements you want to make or just help out on something they want to do with the software. Learn, listen. Rinse and repeat.

Hope this helps a bit.

As a Jr Developer, I found this very helpful. Thanks.

Aww. So the fucking Dictator and Wannabe Dictator are breaking up?

Ublock Origin, NoScript, Chameleon, Libredirect, DarkReader, OneTab, Stack Overflow Prettifier, Classic Mode For Wikipedia, Vimium

As you explore more of the map, there are fast travel waypoints that make travel easy.

Some cars handle better than others, and eventually you get somewhat accustomed to it. Motorcycles have the best handling in the game though, and I prefer to use them over cars.

Enjoy the game. It’s got it’s flaws but imho it’s great.

Xenogears for the PS1 had one of the best combat systems I’ve ever played. Tied with Star Ocean 2 for the PS1. There’s a remake which I think they overhauled the combat system, so I’m not sure if it still is as good as the first edition, but the customizability was amazing.

After that Grandia was fun, but I played it far less than the aforementioned, so have less to say. Chrono Trigger was very good for what it was, and IMHO was only matched by FF6 in that category (heavy turn based combat systems). Chrono Cross is an honorable mention in that category as well.

Lastly, very recently the Sea of Stars game had a very good combat system.

Ultimately these games have great stories, and that’s all I really cared about, but the combat systems could either make or break the monotonous grind to get to the plot points, so they had to be at least decent to make the games playable.

I highly recommend any of these games. Chrono Trigger in particular is highly regarded as possibly the greatest JRPG of all time, and personally I’d put Xenogears at 2nd place, with Star Ocean 2 at 3rd. But I might just be nostalgic.

Nice. Thank you. For those who don’t click the link, it appears you can disable by setting these flags:

browser.shopping.experience2023.active

and:

browser.shopping.experience2023.survey.enabled

To false.

EDIT: On finally getting back to my desktop and disabling these, it looks like there’s a bunch of these browser.shopping.experience2023 flags. Some of them set to true, others false, I just set them all to false.

Please tell me there’s an about:config setting to turn this bs off.

It could always be worse.

Then they boot up Spiritfarer and everybody sobs. Lol.
