...I was gonna say it took until it was shrunk down to the thumbnail to see red, but nope, it actually has red in it in the thumbnail.

Guess this is specific to how often you see cans of coca-cola?

Here, I put the image through a ditherer (only available colours are black, cyan, white). I don't see any red at all now.

[edit}

Actually, that "red" is mostly just gray so I played myself here. Still, the luminosity must be closer to red before I detect it as red, white doesn't do it.

Anecdotally, I've heard people say they almost got into a crash because of lane assist, especially with the white/yellow temporary lines. But that does depend a ton on the car.

I have to agree that if you have to turn, you should be able to turn, lane assist be damned - we're not yet at the level where a car can accurately judge 100% of the road situations. But it's probably a good thing we're moving into a future where crossing lanes without turn signals feels like a virtual bump on the road.

Oh yeah. Wonderful memories of psyching myself up to do Thing and then suddenly getting nagged to do Thing and dropping in absolute negatives on the good old motivation.

That's a wonderful example at the end there, gotta remember it when I talk to people who don't get why I was standing in doors dressed and couldn't go outside.

I feel like it's a little disingenuous to call it "Doom Tech" when it's modern GZDoom with proper full 3D and shit.

But it is true that it's way more systemic than anything AAA in the genre.

Ah yes, reminds me of the old joke: An otaku blacksmith's tool: някавайня

For clarification, it's nya-kawaii-nya, and it sounds like russian word for anvil, наковальня (nakoval'nya). Very roughly can be translated as on-smither. Also this word is feminine.

In my experience, it pays to have a conversation with the DM out of game time to tell them that they should probably describe whatever there is to see in the room.

If there's no time pressure and no traps, there's no reason you can't just say "I rummage through every shelf in NPCs personal library in search of the book!" or something.

Yeah. I just actively remind players of what their characters should know, because otherwise they never figure anything out.

[-] GTG3000@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

Yup. Wonderful memories of childhood when people were asking me "what are you trying to achieve" and I'm just sitting there thinking "I just told you I can not function like you want me to".

It's not about the DM button being moved, it's about all the UX they broke in halves. They changed how swipe works, they changed how the DM list works, they changed how search works, none in a good way.

For a lot of "power users", changing how swiping acts goes in direct opposition to the muscle memory, so that's annoying. Some functionality is just gone or is made much worse, like no longer seeing images in search and no longer having autocomplete for the filter terms there. You can no longer look at the DM list and then go back to active DM because swiping there was turned into a dumb back button replacement.

And above all, this is just a canary in the coal mine moment - they do not care about their current app, they will do whatever they like and people are understandably uncomfortable with that.

In slav languages, you just go with how the neologism sounds. "Computer" ends in hard r, so it's masculine, for example.

Every once in a while there's going to be shit like with "coffee" though. It sounds neutral-gendered and is officially neutral-gendered, but there's been a big period when people believed it should be masculine because of the source language or some shit. Still a lot of people arguing about it.

Yeah. Sidenote, I hate the trend of bike lights nowadays to come with horns.

I just want to make people in front of me aware I exist, I don't want to alert the whole fucking street!

Just use FreeCAD! \s

Although you can do things in it. There's also OpenSCAD but I have never done anything complex in it and I can't imagine it being used in a professional environment.
