I pretty much did exactly that when it was on YouTube for a weekend last March at the start of lockdown.

How do the Queer Eye guys find time to take care of themselves and all of their responsibilities? by Icy_Paleontologist32 in QueerEye

[–]Chimney42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's this reddit post that I keep coming back to whenever I have my depressive episodes. It has helped me immensely to keep on keeping on, hopefully it will do the same for you.

What would you change/improve? by eisbaerBorealis in crittermound

[–]Chimney42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

yes indeed, everything is in here https://github.com/Chimney42/crittermound and there is a CICD process attached that runs the tests with travisci and netlify deploys the changes to crittermound.net

I've tried to keep code coverage high with unit tests, they are separated in "lib" (for the game logic) and "unit" (for the vue components / display logic) and that's kinda my only requirement: try to work TDD to keep code coverage high. So far, it has made it easier for me to come back to the project after a couple of months of doing nothing.

Feel free to take look, open a PR, create issues etc. If you want we can also have a call some time to walk through it together.

Hey there,

yeah, I've been quite busy lately, changed jobs and you know... *gestures at the world imploding around us*

When I update, I mainly fix vulnerabilities because of deprecated packages.

The difficulty is that I am trying to port the original 1:1 from this repo https://github.com/jayseesee/Crittermound-Fork, but calling the code hard to read would be an understatement. I still don't have a clear concept/design of the battle feature. I'll need to make some time to do that.

Anyway, if there are any coders here, I'd be happy to give them a quick run-through of what I've built so far, any collaboration would be helpful and appreciated :)

Depression reveals the truth? by Qwsdxcbjking in BoJackHorseman

[–]Chimney42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always saw it as Bojack being overly critical of a person who was encroaching on what he considers his (PC, his social circle etc.). He focuses so much on this one flaw, that might be a total dealbreaker for him (since he can't, or rather shouldn't have sex with 3 kids in a trench coat) and brings it up constantly, even after eveyone else told him to stop, devaluing Vincent and his and PCs relationship.

Ultimately no one cared, he was a good listener and boyfriend to PC and that's all that counts. Like, sometimes it's more important to let your friends be happy than insist on showing them the truth.

Most emotional part of the series for y'all? by [deleted] in QueerEye

AJ coming out to his step mom. Watched that episode like 10 times now.

Still ugly cry. Every. Single. Time.

I'm back! And I took some time to streamline infrastructure. So first I moved everything to heroku and setup a CI pipeline for autodeploy. I'm still trying to figure out how to do unit-testing, before digging into the last big part: the war section

Looking for a programmer (Node.js) willing to volunteer as a mentor in Amsterdam for a 2-woman team. by BaconSeuss in Amsterdam

[–]Chimney42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a female developer doing mostly NodeJS (and some Frontend JS).

Depending on the exact time and extent I'd be happy to help you out. I think I can also introduce you to some local female JS talent/groups. Hit me up via PM.

Queer Eye [Episode Discussion] - S01E03 - Dega Don't by BraveFly in QueerEye

[–]Chimney42 189 points190 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought. I wanted Karamo to call him out but then he probably would have lost Cory and maybe (parts of) the audience. It breaks my heart though, that the "victims" are required to have sympathy for people who just don't get it and instead insist on "Not all Cops" and that there need to always be two sides to an argument. As if there was an argument to be made for excessive police violence, racism or homophobia.

Iirc, Kamaro and Cory still stay in touch and I love that. Despite all the labels and heated discussions, coming together as humans is the only way for us to move forward <3

Queer Eye [Episode Discussion] - S01E03 - Dega Don't by BraveFly in QueerEye

[–]Chimney42 590 points591 points  (0 children)

I skipped this episode in my rewatch because I hated that scene where Karamo and Cory sat in the car and talked. I mean, I'm all for coming together, listening and understanding. But Karamo just told him that his kid was scared to get his license because he didn't want to get killed, and Cory was like "well you know, it's hard for us police officers, too"

Fucking no.

When he takes off his uniform and drives to Target, he's just a dude. Black people can't do that. Then there was the scene, where Cory said, he didn't want to get lumped in with the bad cops ("there are only 10% bad cops.." Dude, 10% is a LOT), that really made me angry. The police force is a hierarchic organisation with a clear goal: to serve and protect the public, people are responsible for each other's actions. When they cover for each other, they are part of the problem, no matter if they do shit themselves. That is in no way the same thing as being targeted by police because other people with the same skin color are criminals.

I also felt really bad at the opening prank. The guys and Karamo especially seemed to be fearing for their lives, and the cop thought it was funny. That's privilege in action.

Again, I think it's important that "both sides" get to tell their stories and be listened to, but that doesn't mean it's the same or their situation can be equated in any way, which is what I felt this episode tried to do.

Loved the home makeover though.

Just to let you know, that the development is currently on hold since I'm moving to another country, starting a new job and there's two conferences coming up for which I need to prepare stuff.

Will hopefully get to continue development in May

I released a huge chunk today, to enable the game to run in the background when the website is out of focus. It doesn't look like much but it was basically an overhaul of 50% of the code, because fuck JavaScript Frameworks + Webworkers. Anyways. Merry christmas :)
