    Indie games. More games worth playing than can possibly be played. Games enough to last multiple lifetimes.

    It's a real pattern, and you're right to point it out. The honest assessment is that code is genuinely load-bearing. Great! I have what I need. Here's the truth... and on and on and on I hate...

    I hate these machines and I hate that they wear the faces of humans and I hate that I am required to use them at work :(

    No, it's up! Can you maybe share a screenshot or error message from what you see? I'm not sure what you mean by "downloading"

    With Tildes going officially maintenance mode there's been a lot of talk about alternatives, successors, etc. I realize Tildes is going to continue on as-is for the foreseeable future, but I thought I'd drop this list here anyway for people who are interested in exploring other parts of the slower social web. Forums are still out there, and while in general they're past their heyday they're still imo the best way to socialize online.

    Disclosure: I maintain this list myself, and I also run the platform that hosts it.

    Thanks for everything Deimos. Tildes has a lot of good ideas in it and I'm grateful it has been here as long as it has. Do you have any new projects going on?

    I'm indifferent, but will point out that "they" is acceptable in every case.

    I learned to program when I was a kid and for years I built a lot of stuff on the web, mostly PHP in those days. When I finally sat down to understand HTTP and TCP/IP it was like the layers of reality pealing back, so many things clicked into place. Just repeated moments of interconnected "a ha!" in my brain. It was nearly euphoric.

    They're choosing to represent their article with a piece of art. If that art is chosen without care, I expect the article to be written without care.

    The image at the top is certainly AI generated. That's enough for me to skip reading the article.

    The character design in the trailer does not inspire confidence. It looks like they took the first result for "i remake zelda in unreal engine 5" on YouTube and hired the designer. It's so ugly.
