I've been checking out a ton of PICO-8 games lately. One of my fav things that some game devs do is unlimited lives.
I get the whole "3 strikes and you're out" in baseball, and sometimes in life, but like... I don't want to die, I want another chance. Let me try again and again! (In games & life.)
I did see a game where it gave you 100 lives, and that's cool too, because you know what? We all screw up sometimes.
99 more chances to get it right is still pretty good.
I see limited lives as a design relic from the arcade era. You needed limited lives to extract more quarters from players, but we're pretty far from that necessity these days.
Recently decided to try out @bookwyrm as a GoodReads replacement. It's refreshingly modern, with an effective import tool to bring my library over.
I don't have much of a network there, but then I didn't really use the GoodReads social features. My user over there is @YouNaughtyMonsters (thanks Iain M Banks!)
Oh I see, oops. Sorry for tagging you then. I also just realised that bookwyrm is a different thing from Lemmy, but just on the fediverse as well, so my link does not make sense in any way
Wow!!!
I just got back from visiting my bestie and I checked on the new hashtag notifications and wow!
Thanks sooooo much for sharing so many #Gaming posts with our tag! I really appreciate it. 😊
Sorry for the late boosts and I hope I didn't miss any...
Have a fabulous day everyone 🎮 ♥ 🕹
I'm in flow when I can focus on the endless beautiful forms and patterns of nature. I love seeing how things connect. I used to observe nature as a job (as a scientist), but I could not survive in academia.
I'm also a mom.
A year or so ago, I found out about neurodivergence. Reading and listening to the accounts of autistic people sharing their experience filled me with an overwhelming feeling of peace and kinship. This lead to a path of self-discovery. I'm also learning about ADHD as my partner and my kid are AuDHD.
Does anyone have any links for reverse engineering Spotify DRM? I didn't necessarily need it for myself, have plenty of music, and it would be a pretty inefficient means of piracy vs. BitTorrent or like yt-dlp, but I'm curious how it works.
It always seems to me like the analog gap is particularly gaping with audio, and I wonder how far down to the metal it's protected.
What does it mean in terms of ethics when a song is not on Spotify and is not considered a song (is just a generic video) through YouTube Music? It seems to happen a lot to video game OSTs, especially Touhou music.
Treat the first line of you post as the title. You can see that your whole post, including hashtags, is on one line, and so creates a large messy title over here.
Keep hashtags out of the title as they create links that are messy
The next lines are treated as the body of the post … you can put everything else here including hashtags (which will work well) etc.
If you want to tag anyone else, make sure to tag them after the lemmy community, as lemmy only pays attention to the first tag (which is a measure to prevent spam)
I wrote a little demo of what works here: hachyderm.io/@maegul/110483509521476095
Otherwise … really appreciate the effort to try to bridge these two spaces!
How stressful is to be a yoga teacher? Engineers, doctors, school teachers are known to have a lot of pressure in their jobs, I wonder if the same happens for yoga teachers and similar jobs?
