Jag Àlskade den filmen dÄ (en del barndomsfavoriter tycker jag fortfarande Àr bra och ser gÀrna om, men jag tror inte Hook ingÄr bland dom) men varje gÄng jag sÄg den blev jag ÀndÄ lite ledsen för jag tÀnkte den hÀr skÄdisen som spelar gamm-Wendy (eller Lena som hon heter i den svenska), hon Àr ju sjÀlv gammal sÄ hon kommer ocksÄ dö en dag.

Maro:

It’s not the players’ job to find the fun. It is your job as the game designer to put the fun where the players can’t help but find it. When the players sit down to play a game, there’s an implied promise from the game designer that if they do what the game tells them to do, it will be fun. So most players will do whatever the game tells them to do to achieve the desired goal (usually win), even if that thing isn’t fun. When the game is done, if the players didn’t enjoy themselves, they will blame the game—and rightfully so!
It’s your job as a game designer to make sure that what it takes to succeed at your game is the very thing that makes the game fun. Fun cannot be tangential; it has to be the core component of your game experience. I can’t stress this enough. You can’t hide the fun and expect your players to hunt for it. That’s not their job. It’s your job as a game designer to lead the players to the fun.

I’m loving Echoes of Wisdom so far (it’s great how there’s often more than one way to solve puzzles) but one thing that kind of sucks is that so often the best strategy is to set up an autowin situation and then put down the Switch. Like, on Hero Mode there are no hearts so I go to bed and let the hearts slowly tick up. Or if a miniboss is tough I create a safe perch on top of a bolder and let some echoes fight for me.

Jag har aldrig tĂ€nkt pĂ„ att kalla en Z-95 för en “Z-Wing” men nu nĂ€r du sĂ€ger det Ă€r det ju helt logiskt! Ja jo att bokstaven Z ligger nĂ€ra har jag tĂ€nkt pĂ„ men den ser ju inte ut som ett zĂ€ta?! Dom andra ser ut som sin bokstav (utom B som ser ut som en klinga sĂ„ B stĂ„r för Blade). NĂ€r vi spelar kortspelet kallar vi ibland Z-95 för “Windows 95”♄

Och “HWK-290” (sĂ„som Moldy Crow ex vis) den kallar vi för “Hawk” eller “Kitty Hawk”. KĂ€rt skepp har mĂ„nga namn. Fast det bĂ€sta skeppet av dom alla, Nebulon-B Frigate, det skulle kĂ€nnas som hĂ€delse att anvĂ€nda ett smeknamn pĂ„ den.

The fastball special is when Colossus throws Wolverine towards their victims so Wolverine can kill them. Recently they came up with the screwball special: Colossus throws one of their victims towards Wolverine so that Wolverine can kill them. Unlike the fastball special, which is great, the screwball special doesn’t make sense. Colossus already has the victim. He can just kill them. (Unless they’re only vulnerable to adamantium but that wasn’t the case in this issue.)

A couple of years ago one post that went around among people who thought it was creepy was some self-proclaimed PUA who was like “it sucks that the females are wearing headphones these days but the workaround is to mime ‘taking off headphones’ and if they wanna talk to you they’ll take them off” and while I personally wouldn’t mind that at all and would either take my headphones off or shake my head to decline the convo, a lot of people rightly pointed or that they were wearing headphones for the express purpose of being left alone, especially from guys, and that someone being all in their grill miming is so uncomfy. Correct! So the critics of that post were 💯 right.

But you know what’s awesome and not as creepy and is just polite? It’s the reverse: when I take off my headphones first as someone is approaching where I am! That’s been so great. People really appreciate it if they do wanna talk and they don’t mind it or even notice it if they don’t đŸ’đŸ»â€â™€ïž

UtslÀppen bedöms minska framöver, bl.a dÄ reduktionsplikten kommer att höjas nÀsta Är

SVT fortsĂ€tter sin lite oansvariga formulering kring reduktionsplikten; mina problem med formuleringarna Ă€r ju som sagt dels att det Ă€r mer fokus pĂ„ “dom bryter vallöftet, kan dom verkligen hĂ„lla bensinpriserna nere nu” Ă€n klimatkatastrofen, och dels att det Ă€r för lite fokus pĂ„ att den nya “höjda” nivĂ„n Ă€r tyvĂ€rr mycket mycket lĂ€gre Ă€n vad det var innan sĂ€nkningen.

TidsgrÀnsen [att FN vill att Israel ska sluta ockupera inom 12 mÄnader] menar vi skapar problem för en förhandlad tvÄstatslösning


sĂ€ger Malmer Stenergard för att försvara Sveriges skamliga röst mot FNs resolution. Men tĂ€nk om vi skulle röstat sĂ„ i historiska krig. Tredje rikets ockupation av Frankrike och Danmark. Rysslands av Baltikum. USAs av Vietnam. Tolv mĂ„nader ansĂ„gs inte för lite i dom fallen tack och lov. Men hĂ€r gör det det och varför Ă€r det sĂ„? Arabers liv ska ju vara lika mycket vĂ€rda som alla andras.

Fed [i USA] sÀger att man förvÀntar sig att rÀntan sÀnks med ytterligare 0,50 procentenheter i Är. Man rÀknar med fyra rÀntesÀnkningar under nÀsta Är.

Det Àr vÀl OK men det Àr konstigt att Trump vars monologer ofta kretsar kring inflationen, hans sÄ kallade plan Àr att sÀnka skatten men bara göra det för dom allra rikaste. Vilket brukar fÄ inflationen att snarare öka. Vill man att pengar ska bli vÀrdefullare sÄ Àr skatter en klassiker.

Centerpartiet vill lÀgga 900 miljoner kronor nÀsta Är pÄ att bygga ut elkablar till havsvindkraft. Det framgÄr av ett förslag i deras skuggbudget.

IdĂ©n med skuggbudgetar Ă€r sĂ„ himla bra. Miljöpartiets skuggbudget förra gĂ„ngen. 💋 Jag hade haft lite regrets att jag bytte till dom, sĂ„g dom som en nödlösning sĂ„ lĂ€nge V Ă€r bensinpopulister, men sĂ„ lyckades dom Ă€ndĂ„ med en proffsig och genomtĂ€nkt skuggbudget. Hoppas dom kan göra om bedriften.

Centerpartiets, tja, just det hÀr förslaget Àr jag inte emot Àven om jag inte tycker det rÀcker. Det Àr vÀl OK att bygga ut elen men det viktigaste Àr att vi fimpar fossilerna för pga Jevons sÄ kommer dom inte gÄ att ela bort.

Personsökarattacken i Libanon ingick i en israelisk plan för att starta fullskaligt krig

AlltsĂ„ nĂ€r Ryssland gör sjuka saker sĂ„ kĂ€nner jag “Dom Andra gör sjuka saker som vanligt, men dom Ă€r ju Dom Andra”. Men nĂ€r Israel gör sjuka saker sĂ„ tĂ€nker jag “men varför ses dom hĂ€r som fortfarande vĂ„ra polare?!” USA, vĂ„r nyblivna natobrudgum, drĂ€ller in vapen till dom. Vi röstar för dom i FN. Jag skĂ€ms för det. Nu vill jag ju att alla lĂ€nder i hela vĂ€rlden ska bli polare sĂ„ missförstĂ„ mig rĂ€tt hĂ€r. Tycker det Ă€r helt vansinnigt som Israel hĂ„ller pĂ„.

Book costs can vary wildly. An art shop I sometimes go go sell sketchbooks that’s basically just blank printer paper stapled together. I went with 1.2 kg per typical book since that’s what I had seen in a couple of different papers.

For gadgets, I settled on Apple’s own claims, and for laptops I found a GitHub page that listed some values and it matched what I had seen elsewhere so I thought that looked good.

For the airplane trip, I used a news paper article. Pretty iffy. It might even have been The Guardian 😰

Burgers I think I really undersold how bad they are. There’s this “cheeseburger footprint” website that does some methane calculation but that didn’t seem to include the long shadow of making the tractor that plows the field that grows the seeds that feeds the steer that gets put into that naked lunch.

I shoulda saved all these links but now I can’t because I had a friend change my Screen Time pin code yesterday so I can finally say Sayonara to Safari!

A beef burger has twenty times the climate impact of a plant burger but the consumer price isn’t twenty times higher because our economics system is radically and fundamentally broken in how it excludes enviromental impact from transaction costs.

So when punks say that capitalism is killing the planet, they’re not just being cute. Market capitalism has a bug; when a similar bug happens in software (alloc w/o free), it’s called a “memory leak” and leads to crashed computers. I don’t want a crashed Earth.

2024-09-13 14:59

Even though I can get motion sick with video games, I very rarely reach for the screen shake setting; most games use it sparingly or within reason or within my limits.

The screen flash setting, on the other hand, I always turn all the heck off! But right now I’m playing a game that doesn’t have a screen flash setting (Lorelei and the Laser Eyes) and it really needs one. Worst of all, it really amped up the flashes later in the game (I’m at 37.8% completion right now) instead of letting me know right away to nope out from this dumb game!

HÄller med om att utbildning vore bra för det Àr helt ointuitivt. PÄ vanliga trottoarer ska man ju gÄ pÄ höger sida men inte pÄ dessa gemensamma. Jag lÀrde mig det sjÀlv för bara nÄn mÄnad sen. Och skyltarna mÄste vara tydliga för annars kan man missförstÄ som jag gjorde först:

Mina tre misstolkningar av skylten

Jag ringde Simon sen och han förklarade att jag skulle gÄ helt till vÀnster, som den mittersta bilden, dvs lÄtsas att det var en landsvÀg och att cyklarna var bilar. (Precis som du skriver nu, @skf.) Men det fattade jag inte frÄn skylten sÄ en bild hade nog hjÀlpt.

Det hĂ€r med “helvetet”, det stod faktiskt sĂ„. Och ja, den var pĂ„ den högra sidan. Jag tror dĂ€rför att det var en autonom som hade satt upp skylten och inte tekniska förvaltningen. NĂ„n som fattat att mer utbildning behövs, precis som du, och det hĂ„ller jag med om. Men som sagt det finns trögfattade personer dĂ€r ute, sĂ„som undertecknad, sĂ„ tydlighet Ă€r dĂ„ viktigt. Bilder och förklara dĂ„ gĂ€rna ocksĂ„ att det skiljer sig frĂ„n normala trottoarer sĂ„ folk inte börjar gĂ„ fel pĂ„ dom.

2024-09-09 18:33

One of the reasons I do feel that I’ve improved as a writer the past few years is that when I find posts saying “Sandra says this-and-this”, it used to be that almost always they had interpreted pretty much the complete opposite of what I meant (maybe because I must’ve been a li’l too subtle with some “instead of” or “as opposed to” or “but” or whatever) but these days I do find some posts that are like “Sandra says this-or-this” (and sometimes they agree and sometimes they disagree) and I think “hurmph! We’ll see about tha.. Oh, they’re right, that is what I think”.

It’s a far cry from a lot of the early blorb discussions where people were arguing against a complete misunderstanding of what I was trying to say. These days they often do seem to get it right. Maybe writing up the “principles” was a turning point there. That was a good idea. Thanks AW for that.

Jag har insett att jag ska akta mig för Freewrite och andra liknande minimalistiska skrivappar dĂ€r det inte gĂ„r att redigera.

Ja jo att redigera senare i separata drafts nĂ€r texten svalnat Ă€r bra Ă€ven för mig och jag gör det jĂ€tteofta men jag tycker om att redigera redan i första utkasten. KnĂ„da fram en text. Ex vis jag ser att jag rĂ„kat kodvĂ€xlingsskriva nĂ„t pĂ„ engelska sĂ„ dĂ„ byter jag det till svenska. Eller byter plats pĂ„ paragrafer. Eller gör en liten not lĂ€ngre ner om vad jag ska skriva nĂ€r jag kommer ner dit sĂ„ jag inte glömmer bort vart tankarna Ă€r pĂ„ vĂ€g. Gör outlines och expanderar dom. Osv osv. Modern ordbehandling, till skillnad frĂ„n “vad som gick att göra med enkom en skrivmaskin”, Ă€r nĂ„t som jag visserligen inte behöver, men som jag tycker om att anvĂ€nda fullt ut och det sparar mig tid och stress. Hade jag bara papper och penna och skrivmaskin skulle jag inte dö men jag skulle nog anvĂ€nda papper och penna och separata lappar att sortera om och dra streck och pilar med och mindmaps osv osv innan jag började knattra.

Milters for GMail reactions - Delta.Chat

App idea:

Postfix milters that translate Gmail’s dumb reaction format to Delta Chat’s good one, and the other way around. Would only work on the unencrypted threads with Gmail users so the benefit is pretty minor.

I’ve found specs for how the reaction looks on Gmail’s end:

Email reactions  |  Gmail  |  Google for Developers

But not for Delta Chat’s format, although it seems pretty straight forward (from looking at the raw message files in my spool).

The Rings of Power‘s answer to Tolkien’s moral dilemma seems to be that the orcs are terrified of becoming thralls of Sauron, and that Sauron can mind-control them to some extent but not completely. I like it; it sort of tracks with how some of the men in his army were forgiven in The Return of the King. Like all attempted answers to the dilemma, including Tolkien’s own attempts, there might be a couple of weirdnesses and contradictions.

Tolkien’s_moral_dilemma at Wikipedia

In the Trilemma setting it seems to me that orcs are people who ate the ashes of their ancestors. They are are a faction among others, in the game you can trade with them or even be them. (And of course in Zakhara all enlightened beings are equal; orcs are like any other person and can be good or bad or anything in between. It’s a setting with many lines of conflicts but your species usually isn’t one.)

I’m trying to make a new homebrew setting now (“GĂ„voplaneten”, it’s called) and there orcs are created beings—not en masse but akin to warforged or golems (who both also exist—they’re three different methods for more or less the same goal; so are animated skeletons and zombies). They’re created to serve. Making or having such servants is considered wrong and immoral among the peoples of GĂ„voplaneten (even mage hand, unseen servant etc are scandalous) but it sometimes happens anyway. But the control and the programming isn’t always complete, which can explain any player character orcs. Sometimes the control and programming is more extensive which is how they can be a danger if they’re doing some villain’s bidding. Unlike warforged which are more mechanical and golems which are more animated, the orcs are biological creatures, lab grown.

Not sure if this is good or bad. Like many things, it’s just the way it is on this planet. A way to explore labor politics and technology in a way that’s a little more distant from diaspora history. It’s not completely divorcable because humanity’s history has been so messed up and sick but the intent is to take a few steps away. The slavery storylines in Arden Vul started out as being too much and then just kept on being bad (almost Dark Sun levels of bad) so I want something very different from that.

Too bad that The Acolyte was cancelled, I liked it and though the first season feels like it can stand on its own, it also set up for more stories.

As a general principle, I’m OK with fewer hyperbudget shows and more indie works (which is also why comics and novels are so great). I sometimes get told “If the MPAA-controlled Hollywood system didn’t exist, we wouldn’t get Matrix or Star Wars or Lord of the Rings type shows and movies” and though I don’t believe that’s true, I would be fine with that—I’m not sure these mega projects make sense in the face of our many unsolved crises and the economic weirdnesses of template production finance.

Det Ă€r teorin att bara ha ett spel i varje niche/humör. Om tvĂ„ spel fyller samma funktion, ta bort det ena. OmvĂ€xling förnöjer
 inte, enligt Jones Theory. Sök pĂ„ jones theory boardgame. Han sa att det hĂ€r inte ska vara en regel för alla utan bara nĂ„t som passar vissa personlighetstyper eller situationer.

Ex vis jag har mer eller mindre fimpat Can’t Stop efter att jag fick Ra (push your luck). Tycker den ersĂ€tter Seven Wonders (civ-tema) ocksĂ„ men den har jag aldrig haft.

“So, your kids must love the iPad?” I asked Mr. Jobs, trying to change the subject. The company’s first tablet was just hitting the shelves. “They haven’t used it,” he told me. “We limit how much technology our kids use at home.”

Oh, okay. So you created something dangerous and bad

Gjorde misstaget att kolla pĂ„ PolitikbyrĂ„n pĂ„ SVT. Det Ă€r sĂ„ bakvĂ€nda vĂ€rlden att höra dom sitta och sĂ€ga typ “ja S verkar ju ha fĂ„tt för sig att SD skulle utgöra nĂ„n sorts hot mot demokratin”. Öh
 Ja?! SD Ă€r inte ett normalt parti!

Och sen sitta och hacka pÄ att S funderar pÄ förslag som skulle kosta miljarder. NÀr nu dom blÄbruna faktiskt i dagarna har klubbat igenom att ge bensinindustrin nÀstan fyra miljarder i subvention.

Jag Àr inget fan av S som pÄ mÄnga sÀtt Àr en ganska konstig och spretig organisation men sluta dalta med extremhögern, SVT!

Oj hjĂ€lp det var fel tĂ€nkt av dom!! Jag hatar spottan men öppna RSS-poddar enligt den traditionella standanden Ă€r ju jĂ€ttebra för alla och att det nĂ„r dom som Ă€r fjĂ€ttrade i Spotify-helvetet Ă€r ju bara bra, det kan ju bli ett sĂ€tt att nĂ„ dom speciellt om man i sina program ocksĂ„ tar upp hur fel Spotify Ă€r och att det finns andra alternativ. Det gĂ„r vĂ€l i vĂ€rsta fall att göra nĂ„n sorts ofri licens (materialet Ă€r ju redan inte speciellt CC-vĂ€nligt) dĂ€r det stĂ„r “alla fĂ„r anvĂ€nda det utom Spotify”.

Min gamla dumbphone har FM-radio som jag ofta lyssnar pÄ P1 via, men eftersom jag FOMO-shoppade en light phone i somras (som inte kommer komma förrÀn nÀsta Är), den har ingen radio men den har poddar sÄ dÄ tÀnkte jag att jag var lugn ÀndÄ eftersom P1 har poddar (och dessutom kan jag lyssna pÄ LibriVox för dom har ocksÄ RSS-flöden sÄ det blir bÀttre Àn radio). Men om SRs poddar försvinner blir det kasst!

Och givetvis Àr alla tillgÀnglighetsproblem och infrastruktursdemokratriproblem som tas upp i trÄden pÄ ett förvÄnansvÀrt föredömligt sÀtt för att vara Svolternet Ànnu starkare argument:

Threads didn’t really federate fully, right? It’s a subset?

It’s like if an email server had a “check here if you want this to work with other email servers” in a deeply buried checkbox.

Ja jag ville slÀnga 99% av mina brÀdspel i vÄras men Simon stoppade mig. Fast det Àr kanske dags att lyfta den frÄgan igen. Tycker det rÀcker med vanliga spelkort och kanske ett go och sÄ kan man ju spela Yatzy och liknande med rollspelstÀrningarna för rollspelen ville jag inte slÀnga.

Att Tidöpartierna vill döda oss och sig sjĂ€lva det kan man aldrig Ă€ndra pĂ„, men att SVT skriver sĂ„ slarvigt om det Ă€r fel. Det framstĂ„r som om “oj dom har höjt till vad det, nu fick vi dom i att svika ett vallöfte” vilket dom kan skratta Ă„t Ă€nda till banken för dom har ju inte alls höjt till vad det var, bara en pyttebrĂ„kdel. Dessutom Ă€r deras nya variant med en skattesĂ€nkning, det Ă€r ju de facto en subvention av bensinen. Det hĂ€r Ă€r ocksĂ„ varför jag efter mĂ„nga Ă„r som trogen V-röstare bytte till MP för nĂ„gra Ă„r sen. Bensinpopulismen.

UtslÀppen frÄn svensk ekonomi ökade med 6,7 procent under första kvartalet 2024 jÀmfört med samma period i fjol, enligt ny statistik frÄn SCB.
UtslÀppen ökar framför allt frÄn hushÄllens personbilar, jordbruket, vÀgtransporter och byggbranschen.
»2024 har de största utslÀppen för ett förstakvartal sedan 2020«, sÀger Fredrik Kanlén, analytiker pÄ SCB.
VÀxthusgasutslÀppen för kvartalet uppgÄr till 12,9 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter, upp frÄn 12,1 miljoner ton samma period förra Äret.

Ja jo. Det blir sÄ nÀr folket röstar in en klimatsinkande allians som ökar andelen fossila brÀnslen i bilarna. Obegripligt. Alla som röstade pÄ dom verkar ju vilja dö. Surt bara att dom tar oss andra med sig. SkÀrpning nÀsta val. In fact skÀrpning, Tidöpartier dom tvÄ Är ni har kvar. Varje minut rÀknas. Och skÀrpning ocksÄ SVT för er rapportering om reduktionpliktshöjningen var kass:

För mycket fokus pĂ„ â€œĂ„h det kommer bli sĂ„ dyrt att tanka” ja jo det kommer bli billigt pĂ„ askhögen sen nĂ€r det blir Ă„ttahundra grader. Och nĂ€stan inget fokus pĂ„ att dom bara ökade pyttelite till 10%. LĂ„ngt mindre Ă€n dom 30% det var innan dom slemkravlade upp sig pĂ„ tronen.

Dammit Nintendo! They just sent a newsletter with a gruesome murder story behind no warning that started out as something nice and uplifting (“I can give you a smile”) that later became a horror story! Heck no to that! I don’t like horror movies but at least when I watch a horror movie I know what I’m in for. Not so much when I get an email from a game company!

You were already still in the doghouse for the Yuze lawsuit and now this!

Margaret Thatcher used this phrase in the 1980s: “The ANC is a typical terrorist organisation
 Anyone who thinks it is going to run the government in South Africa is living in cloud-cuckoo land.”

Don’t give up on the dream. South Africa was eventually overturned.

Way worse than bamboo or real wood since it’s still 20% plastic which, even if there’s a recycling loop, sheds micros. But, might it measure up to painted wood

A super common theme in board games these past few years have been “rebuild society cozily and easily after some minor setbacks”.

But maybe there won’t even be any humans. I get so stressed by these games since I’m scared it’ll make people complacent. Yeah, yeah, fear can also lead to inaction but the hope I wanna focus on is how we beat this thing, not “lol collapsing is a good thing because we can build something better on the cinder”. If that’s gonna be the attitude I wish good luck to whatever lichen or algae manage to survive because the doom I want us to stave off concerns all humans and many other species also.

Solitaire

Same, I’ve been playing Spiderette with physical cards. Although now that I’ve beaten it I’m gonna switch to some other solitaire game, maybe one of Parlett’s creations, or Simple Simon or I’ll get a second deck and learn to play 40 Thieves.

I liked how Spiderette looked like classic Klondyke but felt like Spider (while actually being harder than two deck Spider). Single deck solitaire games are great. There’s a clunkiness to needing a second deck.
