  • There is this bug in TIC-80.

    When running the wasm version on firefox it has very bad framerate.

    So as many before me I pulled my sleeved and opened the firefox profiler to see what’s going on. Well, the framerate has never been better. As soon as you turn off the profiler the framerate drops.

    I thought I was going insane, until I saw that other people luckily found the same behavior. For now, the unofficial fix is opening the firefox profiler when playing on firefox.


  • I’d argue against giving false hopes.

    Learning to love yourself is good. But people should be aware that there’s a good chance they’ll never find love in their whole lives. That’s a reality some people need to prepare to.

    It’s not the end of the world. No one wants to live without love but it happens even to the best of people. The best someone can do is just learning how to live by themselves and enjoy that kind of life.

    If love eventually comes, good luck, but it’s not a guarantee. And if someone has been single for a long time (I mean the better part of their adult life) chances are they will just be single for life, or at least without proper love. And people need to be prepare for that, because it’s not easy.




  • I think that’s a euphemism for “a pat in the head”. As I said, I think is a movie aimed to a very specific subset of people, of which I don’t belong. The set of people that also enjoy that doomsday climate clock that I keep bringing out because I think it gives away the same kind of emotions to people who liked that movie.

    And for people that does not feel rewarded just for a movie, or a clock or whatever, saying to you “good for worrying”, the movie becomes nothing, it’s empty of anything else. It’s a very simple 75 million dollar message that says “feel better than others, feel special for worrying”. Also the whole message becomes a little ridiculous, when it’s delivered on the biggest media platform, with millions in budget, a bunch of famous actors acting on it, and then praised by millions of people.

    To me it feels like those conservative figures that say that they are being cancelled while they are live on national TV. It’s just silly. And this movie gives the same vibes to me. Talking about the big ignored problem to an audience of millions of people that purposely went there to see the movie about the big ignored problem.


  • I’m just giving my opinion on why that movie is bad.

    I know that probably in the States now even liking or not liking a movie is a political statement, and that some people “like it” just because they have to. But it’s a bad movie. I’ve watch a lot of crap, and most times I power through it to at least see the ending. Imagine how bad had to be that I thought that it wasn’t even worth to try to see the whole thing.


  • I tried to watch that movie. But I quit it 15 minutes in.

    What was even the point? It wasn’t funny, it wasn’t enjoyable, it wasn’t dramatic.

    It’s like “look, here is a blatantly obvious metaphor on climate change” that’s our whole movie.

    It seemed aimed for a very particular subset of people that wanted to feel a pat on the head or something. I feel like it’s the same people who enjoy that big ass climate change doom clock.

    Just too much virtue signalling for my taste. Without actually making anything useful.
