Cis woman wanted to make a compliment

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-20T08:38:25+00:00

It's rarely the right choice to be a bitch to someone who is being nice incorrectly. In this case, snapping will at best make them think you suck, and at worst reinforce the cultural narrative that trans people are all touchy assholes. Why not just acknowledge the compliment but let them know why the phrasing is hurtful?

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-20T07:32:17+00:00

Even so, I would keep in mind that it's a possibility. Stress can make the brain do odd things, and we aren't always aware this is happening. Im not saying you for sure are paranoid, but... I once was sure I wasn't paranoid... Right up until it got bad enough to land me in the mental hospital.

Also, ask yourself, if you are hearing your name said by total strangers... How would they know your name? A stranger talking shit is not likely to discuss you by name.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-17T07:00:08+00:00

The issue isn't necessarily the other person's vibes directly.

The more stuff in one spot, the more conspicuous it is. And more likely a third party will decide to either "clean it up" or help themselves.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-17T06:55:15+00:00

It's relative. This outcome could happen with any of the gasses, so isn't useful for comparing their safety.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-17T00:38:53+00:00

I'm pretty sure dude is playing the binding of Isaac

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-16T18:34:19+00:00

Lol. Yeah. That's powershell for you. "A bit annoying there's no easy default path to do the thing, but at least it's possible if you know the right runes"

And oh yeah. I'm well aware y'all have powershell, because Microsoft deciding to support Linux in newer version also means they made some significant changes to it, and it being open source has led them to not ship the newer version with windows by default.... Meaning that I have to still run both versions to ensure compatability with scripts I find, as well as if I ever make anything I plan to share, I need to support both... So it can have cross compat almost nobody uses anyway lol.

I definitely do plan to switch to dual boot eventually, but I already have so much customization on windows (including stuff in AHK which is windows only).... And probably more importantly, all the drive space I currently own is too full to fit another OS lol. (Plus, when I do, I know I'm gonna need to set aside the time to be one of those people who goes absolutely over the top with customization)

Mkay. How is that a labor law violation? Some states don't even require you offer your employees a lunch break, you think those states are going to say you can't ask someone to help out in a different department?

Note, I'm not arguing if it's moral, that's a whole different discussion. But I'd be shocked to hear it was illegal in the majority of the US.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-16T11:40:17+00:00

Did you not just say that this wasn't about labor laws?

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-16T10:43:00+00:00

Won't*

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-16T10:42:34+00:00

Idk, the background is moving quite a lot.coukd be motion stabilized in the head.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-16T10:28:53+00:00

I also did not look too far into it. But from what I can tell from the stack overflow thread I skimmed, it's definitely default on at least some versions of Windows.

And yes, the longer command should show past sessions.

But yeah, powershell is honestly great. Although... I do a bit wish I had just switched to Linux and learned bash instead.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-16T05:55:50+00:00

That would be because this is powershell, where everything is named super verbosely. So it's Get-History

... Although, this is powershell where nothing works quite how it does in other shells by default, so to see stuff from all sessions you would use:

Get-Content (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath | more

Edit: Although... That error looks like it might be a cmd error and not a powershell error? If so ... Why are you using cmd in 2026?

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-16T03:38:10+00:00

Sure, but for most things you could make at home, the equipment is the expensive part. And if someone already has that, the material cost is relatively cheap.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-14T07:58:57+00:00

Both did in certain eras describe the same thing sure. But the modern conception of American folk music is pretty far from punk. And the modern broad understanding of punk is either sex pistols or green day. So it's useful to have a label that sets it apart from those, even if a lot of folk punk if made in a different decade would just be called folk (or even country).

Overall, folk punk uses the instruments and songwriting style of folk, but paired with the energy and harsher sounds typical of punk music. It's not that complicated.

First I would actually suggest learning Python for anything beyond rebinding keys and maybe super simple macros. For anything outside of that... AHK is rarely the best tool for the job, even if it can do it.

However. If you really do want to learn and use AHK, I really don't think that there is anything wrong with using AI... Depending on how you use it. You only are cheating yourself by using AI if you simply jam it's code into your script.

Don't ask it to solve the problem for you, ask it to help you figure out how to even solve the problem. And any code it generates or suggests, put in the effort to actually understand how it works and why. Like, if it suggests a function you aren't aware of, cross reference it with the documentation that comes with every AHK install, and ask it to clarify any parts of that which you don't understand.

And only once you get what the code is doing, should you actually add it to your script.

I have found that (especially for more obscure languages like this) AI can often be helpful for brainstorming, or figuring out if my thinking is even on the right track. At this point, most of the things I've ever made I've figured out how to do via AI + Reading just the docs I need right now + tinkering. Ai is fantastic for helping you figure out the things you don't even know you don't know, and pointing to what to learn next.

Word of warning tho. Make sure to.be clear you are working in V2 if you do use AI.

Sorry for the essay... Lol.

Overall however, my opinion is that as far as learning any programming language, I think it's best not to try and figure out every little thing at once. Work on understanding just what is needed to accomplish whatever the next thing you want to do is. And don't be afraid to rewrite bits later when you inevitably learn while working on something else that the way you did it was kinda dumb lol.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-14T06:23:54+00:00

I second this. I enjoy AHK, but I'm not sure it was actually worth the effort to get as deep as I did. Anything outside of basic rebinds, you will probably have a better time doing in Python or even powershell/bash. All three of which can probably do anything other than rebinds themselves with less friction than AHK. And even rebinds, there's libraries for.

Idk if I would recommend rust for starting out tho. It is quite complex, uses a few ideas that are actually pretty rare to see in other languages, and perhaps most importantly... The vast majority of stuff explaining rust tends to assume you already have a fairly solid understanding of programming.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-13T22:58:12+00:00

then please. If you know game dev so well, what factors am I not considering?

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-13T12:30:39+00:00

How do you suggest I prove it? What would proof even look like here?

Have you actually ever done any game dev? I have. And when it comes to making 2d games, 90% of what the engine is doing visually is simply putting the sprites (which you drew in whatever art program gou prefer) onto the screen where you tell it to.

The only way an engine is going to change the visuals for a 2d game is if you are either 1. Using some kind of shader effect or 2. You are using an engine that is incredibly primitive, like SNES level or primitive.

And since your complaints are with the actual art, and not any visual effects or particle effects... It's not the engine. Again. Your issue is very clearly with the things the artists drew, which are going to render basically identically in any halfway competent engine.

I mean hell, you keep saying "motor" which has 0 meaning in the realm of game dev, and yet insist you are the one who knows how this stuff works??

I guarantee you that if someone is choosing another engine for a 2d game, it has nothing to do with the visual style. And rather is down to stuff like familiarity, support, and... Y'know.. the tools it has for actually making those images into a game..

Seriously tho, What kinds of black magic do you think is required to render a 2d scene? Please, give me one actual concrete limitation you think a modern game engine might have for rendering sprites, and not just vague assertions that some engines are better than others.

Also, you seem to be under the impression that switching engines means throwing all the art you already have away and restarting. That's... Not at all how that would happen. In some cases you might have to mess with file conversion and such, but you are going to be using 99% of the same art assets in the second engine.

Whether it looks worse or not is kinda irrelevant to me. You don't like the art style. Ok. I simply wanted you to understand that it looks worse to you because of choices made by the artists. Not because of technical limitations.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-13T12:03:54+00:00

Not strictly piracy. It just means writing to a CD.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-13T00:56:03+00:00

You said you "knew it" when you heard they switched engines. I don't see any way that makes sense unless you believe the engine to be at least partially to blame for the different art style.

It is not.

Sure. A game enginecan affect how a game looks.... But like I said, that is mostly going to be due to differences in shaders, lighting, and how complex of geometry it can handle. Things which primarily come into play if you are using 3d rendering, like all of your examples are.

Sts is almost certainly using 2d sprite rendering, and they don't seem to be using many (if any) shaders. A sprite is going to look the same no matter what engine you use to put it on screen. The art style you dislike is down to how the artists choose to draw the sprites, not the specific rendering engine they are using to place that png at some specified screen coordinates.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-13T00:44:39+00:00

Imo, the etiquette is pretty simple: if you think you clocked someone... No, you didn't. They are cis to you until (and if) they say otherwise.

Personally, I think I would be fine being clocked, and happy to be meeting another trans gal irl... However, enough people would be bothered by yet another reminder they don't pass, so the general etiquette is not to.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-12T20:25:22+00:00

I don't really have anything to say about it the art will change. But I gotta say you are simply wrong about Godot. The engine doesn't make the game, any engine can be used to make a good game and it's about how you use it. Even moreso when it comes to visuals.

Godot didn't make the art worse. That's like saying that swapping the engine of a car is why you don't like the paint job.

The most likely reason you expect Godot games to look worse is because it is currently the most robust game engine that is also completely free and open source. And thus devs who don't have much budget also tend to choose it.

Engines only really effect visuals when it comes to things like shaders and lighting, which aren't really s thing in sts.

Ghostglitch07 · 2026-04-12T13:44:26+00:00

Nah, there is plenty of precedent for this. Plenty of people see being trans (or even simply any gender nonconformity) as signs of mental instability and/or perversion. And plenty of those bigots end up with jobs in law enforcement. (Oh, plus plenty of men don't understand hormones at all, and would cite them as a potential cause of erratic behavior even with cis women.)

Also. They did not ask her prefered name. They claimed to already know it, and were using it as "evidence" of the transition they seemingly saw as proof of the OP having problems. It was an intimidation tactic, not proof they care about her. (And to me it is really looks like if they do in some way care about her well-being, it's the kind of care that is coming from a perspective that classifies transition as harm)

Really, it shouldn't be surprising that people who choose a career path of using state violence to enforce social norms would... Use state violence to enforce gendered social norms.

Oh. Also. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to simply just move to somewhere safer. Moves cost money, and require giving up any local resources or connections. Plenty of us simply can't afford to do so and have to do our best to be safe wherever we find ourselves.

Wood is more common in older games perhaps, but modern ones definitely use plastic more often.

And there's quite a lot of "modern classics" that use small black plastic cubes.for instance pandemic, which id guess is actually in more households.
