Scrolling through the list. The timestamps are too regular, meaning it is interpreting a lot of ambient noise as music.

Joke’s on you! I am God.

Yeah, that’s a good option perhaps. I grabbed em recent because of a steam sale, but never played them before. Appreciate the rec :)

I’ve never heard of this, so it is perfect as a recommendation! Because now I have something to look into :)

I’ve played all the old school Square and Enix stuff. FF6 is my goat.

Sure. Tales games tend to be high fantasy settings where each game is its own setting (much like Final Fantasy in that sense). They tend to have a lot of “war against heaven corrupted” kind of vibes. But largely there’s a lot of places to explore, NPCs to talk to, and a bunch of great little skits that trigger between your team. They tend to be lighter on graphics in exchange for length and depth of story. But it’s also somewhat linear, and carefully crafted and you can sort of lose yourself in finding the next story beat.

But they also typically have active combat systems where it’s about button mashing and combos. This is the part I don’t like :)

No! I’ve heard it is quite the investment if you want to start at the beginning. Is there a later jumping in point that works well, in your opinion?

But you mean you wrote it in python with tkinter as a toolkit, rather than writing it in Tcl (which is its own language, like python).

Yeah that is particularly interesting as a development. Protectionism, geopolitics, and security concerns and such are getting in the way of what is theoretically a good thing for the planet. The good news is that they’ll still produce a tonne of them and hopefully flood Africa with electric vehicles. Probably sell them the electric infrastructure too, for leverage…

It’s complicated man!

It’d be funny to wake up one day and suddenly Chinese emissions are dropping faster than any other country and everyone else is playing catch-up. Sometimes democracies can be very slow moving.

From 2012, so it might not hold up entirely. I think the rise of Trump and the further degradation of the rightwing may actually be a living counterpoint in progress.

Still, I admire his centrist optimism.

Until I saw your comment, it didn’t dawn on me that they were one and the same. I also enjoyed several of his novels. :)

Serious question: I’ve never met a programmer who has ever actually written anything in Tcl in the real world. If you’ve working in Tcl, tell me about it! What did you use it for and when? Was it awesome/terrible/etc.?

It nearly happened to us last week. HR didn’t carefully review their job history where they called themselves an “Asymmetrical tactical strategist” on their resume. We only realized when, during salary negotiation, they wanted 70 virgins in their insurance policy.

I mean, we thought they were talking about the dudes in the IT department. Easy mistake.

Yep. It’s still interesting to see if posted. The most interesting thing is the number of scientists who are cutting ties with Russian institutions instead of going home. Brain drain is real.

I’m an outlier! I cannot be deleted! Help help, I’m being massaged!

You can’t tell me what to ignore!

I agree, so I’ve been posting photos and things. What we don’t need is a bunch of autoposting bots.

If you want to find the busy threads though, sort of Active and All. And just see what is going on across the lemmyverse

Oh lord, I’m on eps 12 and I have no idea why I’m still watching but…
