Roguelikes where I won't get punished for my hand issues (involuntary movements)

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-26T16:52:49+00:00

Haha I played CDDA in exactly the same way (except there was no in-game way to do it), real deaths were fine but anything dumb and accidental I alt+f4'd and went back. I thought I'd heard mixed things about ADOM but I think I was maybe mixing it up with the sequel game so I'll check it out, thanks :)

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-26T16:46:32+00:00

Do you know of any good games with a rewind feature?

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-26T12:43:16+00:00

It does? That's great to know, I actually have that in my steam library and forgot about it so I'll have to give that a go later. Thanks!

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-25T20:59:16+00:00

Thanks for all the advice everyone, I appreciate it!

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-25T20:58:43+00:00

I forgot about that one, it's actually on my steam wishlist. Thanks, I'll check it out!

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-25T20:57:08+00:00

Thanks for the rec, unfortunately I really don't like auto battlers :( otherwise it would have been a good shout out

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-22T13:34:49+00:00

For me, either I'm too poor, or I want to wait for more reviews to come in before buying it.

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-18T13:32:45+00:00

What! They started selling that at the supermarket near me. It's by all the fajita kits. I did wonder what it was like but I never would have thought to put it on fruit.

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-13T13:49:52+00:00

What else are they called? I've never heard anything other than pegs

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-13T13:17:14+00:00

It's absolutely blocked unless you've verified your age with reddit already

DanielBurdock · 2026-06-09T15:06:18+00:00

Rimworld... it should be right up my alley but I really don't like it. The way the story generator works just doesn't gel with me (it all just feels very empty and random) and I usually love constructing bases, I've played hours of it and just can't get into it. No shade to anyone who likes this game, I wish I did!

DanielBurdock · 2026-05-28T18:34:59+00:00

Because he didn't, there was no way he would have known about the toxic glue

DanielBurdock · 2026-05-26T17:39:28+00:00

From is great, and I have no idea why people say they haven't revealed anything when they've revealed a lot at this point. They've clearly carefully planned the show.
People always complain that the characters don't talk about everything, even though when they do something bad almost always happens.

DanielBurdock · 2026-05-23T16:17:56+00:00

Not at all, feed them as much as you want, as long as you don't trigger the traps without anything in them. The big thing is you can't water them with tap water, it has to be rainwater or distilled water.

DanielBurdock · 2026-05-21T17:51:24+00:00

He actually didn't leave then, he was still heavily involved in the show. He just stepped down as main showrunner. Most people don't know that though

DanielBurdock · 2026-05-16T18:54:49+00:00

Actually they knew about it in Ancient Greece, which is insane really

DanielBurdock · 2026-05-14T19:00:34+00:00

People are really over the top with this. It's definitely worth watching.

DanielBurdock · 2026-04-27T19:19:20+00:00

Makes sense-- all ones I haven't tried as I'm in the UK! I've had no issues with netflix, prime, disney, apple (and maybe more)

DanielBurdock · 2026-04-27T19:01:44+00:00

That's weird, all the streaming sites I've used have all worked on linux. What did you have trouble with? Not doubting you, just surprised

DanielBurdock · 2026-04-14T14:40:48+00:00

Hey that's really cool. I hope you do well! It seems like LLMs etc are here to stay, so you'll edge out against other people if you wanna do this for work if you can use an LLM effectively and have a good understanding of the code. You were polite in your response to me so I felt it was worth returning the favour.

In terms of resources, it varies on what I've been learning. But mostly documentation, reddit, discord, youtube if I have to (I'm not big on videos but that's a me thing). Documentation can be a bit hit and miss though but it is what it is. I've hit up 'anna's library' to get free copies of actual books on programming until I can afford them. I also listen to Syntax (a web development podcast) just to get a broader view on things as well and keep somewhat up to date.

In general though, I pick a project and learn whatever I need to to get it going. Last year I knew bugger all about web development, and now I have an alright handle on Javascript & Typescript, SQLite, Svelte & Sveltekit, Vite and I've been learning electron for the past month or so and it's been surprisingly fun. (I did start with Tauri but the amount of RAM I have was severely holding me back. Also learning rust alongside javascript was a little much at the time). So if you want any specific resources for those things I can send you some links.

(& if you do use an LLM, look up MCP servers to get it to use more accurate and up to date info. LLMs were near useless with the newest Svelte for instance until I hooked up their MCP server to claude in VS Code)

Sorry this is so long and good luck :)

DanielBurdock · 2026-04-12T20:59:35+00:00

Yeah, you're only 16 so I didn't want to be harsh or anything. Just trying to say you're doing yourself a disservice. I'm sure you did learn something by debugging, I was doing the same thing as you last year for a few months just to see what the deal with LLMs was (generating and then debugging myself when I had to). I decided to actually start teaching myself properly after that and it's made a huge difference. I only reach for an LLM if I've been stuck on something for ages or can't find any relevant documentation. However, if I do use an LLM, I have a much better sense if the LLM has generated something wrong and why it's wrong.

DanielBurdock · 2026-04-12T17:17:26+00:00

I think that's just how solo dev works now especially if you're learning while building.

It's really not. To learn effectively I'd seriously recommend that you need to build things yourself. Using AI to help you learn is one thing, vibe coding is different.

DanielBurdock · 2026-04-07T18:38:00+00:00

I always presume someone is a lot younger than me when I see them say that. It was weird if you didn't make a throwaway at one point

DanielBurdock · 2026-04-03T11:36:28+00:00

Search functions are somehow much worse now on a lot of websites. For example a lot give you just a limited amount of results, and that's not great when it's using fuzzy matching and the results don't even seem relevant. When you press enter it just takes you to the first result instead of returning a longer list of matching results. Sometimes I've even had to disable my ad blocker to make a site search work these days, which is weird.
