oh, the Discord redesign just dropped for me (Android)

honestly, it doesn't look like much has changed, and I like the new logo. I wonder when the app icon will switch, the old one's shadows are looking really dated these days

re: RE8, house Benviento 

still scary though, but I think I'm less scared of things and more of the possibility of things

RE8, house Benviento 

played the part of RE8 that I was scared of today, with a friend in Discord as moral support… it was pretty great, actually. Really cool part, really unexpected from a RE game

the difference between a strongly typed and a weakly typed language is the kind of keyswitches you need to program

I get why people use TTS in their videos but it's so off-putting to me

the only voice I don't hate is Microsoft Sam, probably because it's only used for memes

really enjoying the newest Wintergatan output, so much interesting engineering going on

"crypto nerd" sounds way cooler than it is

these posts are inspired by NileRed's great series on cyanotypes (which is the process that creates blueprints)

also hydrogen cyanide is called Blausäure ("blue acid") in German so

I just realized the names of the color cyan and the poison cyanide have the same roots

re: thoughts on New Pokémon Snap (no spoilers) 

downsides: the scoring system isn't great, so sometimes worse photos score higher… there's plenty of ways to have fun with your favorite shot beside the Photodex though. The characters are pretty boring… I mean, they're just cardboard cutouts for the story, but I would've liked something, maybe banter during the levels?

I also wish the requests feature didn't suck. The requests themselves are a great way to get hints about good photo opportunities but you might have already photographed what's asked, it's hard to keep track which requests are active for which track and you can never be sure if you actually got the shot until you give it to the Professor…

thoughts on New Pokémon Snap (no spoilers) 

it's honestly wild how closely this game ties itself to the original, both in story, kinda retroactively putting an explanation to the original's story, and in gameplay.

At the same time, you can really tell that both consoles and game development have come a long way. Also the game mechanics kinda relate to the conclusion of the story!

I loved every second of this game, what a love letter to the N64 classic and what a powerhouse in graphics, animation and sound! They really made the world and the Pokémon in it come alive

oh heck, and the credits have the same gimmick the original's had
