Design requirements are too ambiguous.

It would be nice if it was possible to describe perfectly what a program is supposed to do.

Try to automate updates as much as possible so that new security bugs get fixed quickly.

I started Baldur’s Gate 3 again. With an evil Wyll run. I try to make Wyll go the evil route by doing the most “heroic” stuff.

Me too. Though I’d say we can substitute any locally available video renting store with Blockbuster. So it would only be 1 point.

Do you get long pork when you make too much pulled pork?

I like flatpaks when they come from the developer. They are often more stable, up-to-date and complete than those from OS repositories.

What I don’t like about them is when I have to fight the permissions. They’re often too tight and make integration with the rest of the OS too hard.

Compile it yourself?

Now that I think about it, the marvellous thing about BG3 isn’t just the acting of the main characters but of the minor NPCs as well. It shows an unprecedented attention to detail and love and care.

I think the only “bad” acting I encountered in the game was that one kid who was apparently voiced by one of the staff’s kids. And that’s only because the model looked too old, for which I suspect that the kid chose their own model.

That’s actually pretty nice. Shows you early where you wouldn’t want to apply.

At least Silent Hill 2 was great as well. Lae’zel’s actress Devora Wilde actually did some mocap for it. She did some Maria and some of the monsters.

She’s streaming her own playthrough on Twitch. It’s hilarious and painful. BG3 was the first video game she’s ever played since the Sims back then.

But yeah, they really upped the game. And apparently they got Liv Tyler interested in doing games as well.

We’re really living through the time gaming is growing up.

Just the occasional bug report. I don’t have more to spare. Most I have ever done was to give code for a semi-big new feature back. I had developed it for work and was glad that I got permission to publish the code. Especially when someone fixed a bug in it.

I also contributed to PHP. That’s the biggest project with my contribution. I also tried to make something for OpenSUSE’s zypper but thanks to Long COVID lack the energy and brain power.

Yeah, your consciousness would actually really live on in the universe where you didn’t make that decision in the past. The trouble is that it’s not your your consciousness but another you.

I’ve put OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on mine. And although I have gaming mode available I prefer to run it on Plasma Wayland for the multitasking. The background just pulls in astronomy pictures. I rarely look at it anyways.

Keen eyes will see the Baldur’s Gate 3 icon in the taskbar.

Studio Ghibli was very good in portraying disgusting pigs as just that.

Kind of reminds me of a story my brother told of some country in Africa. He was friendly with some kids on the street and showed them how to set up an email address. So one day they came excitedly up to him and told him that they met someone and that they would be rich. Of course he immediately clocked the familiar scam.

He explained the whole situation by telling them that the internet was like the street. Don’t trust anyone. That was an analogy they got pretty quickly.

Mine has both and I use them both regularly.

It’s actually much closer than 200 m.
