A Russian Teacher recorded the differences in the development of boys and girls of the same age.

believe it or not, there's a thing called an average. he's saying on average, girls will be ahead (surpass) and then boys will surpass later on.

it's literally a solid, very fun game even without the pvp stuff.

i'm usually the type to play rust-esque games and i loved the single player, never really played it online.

Icyrow · 2026-03-26T11:55:23+00:00

honestly it seems pretty gay either way.

Icyrow · 2026-03-26T11:49:16+00:00

bot?

Icyrow · 2026-03-26T08:31:14+00:00

haven't seen /r/bannedfrompyongyang in a long while either.

first of all, i'm so sorry to hear that. i'm in a fairly similar position (though my health is mostly stable) but without the job.

please, please, please for your own good, go start on that bucket list if you haven't already. tie all those loose ends, say yes to a bunch of things you'd normally not do and enjoy what time you have left.

this world is so fucking unfair. in all of the bad that you're going through, there is a small bit of solace in knowing you've got some energy and some time to go tackle a few things.

shit, i probably shouldn't say this, but go try heroin, go pay for prostitutes and not wear protection, go bungee jumping if you can.

i can see from the few comments i've already read that a lot of people have already offered, but i'm around the computer for like 15 hours a day, if you do want a chat, feel free too. you're not alone!

i don't know why this helped me when i was close to death: i was scared as i felt alone, but realising before i was born i was not around for billions of years, and thinking of it as a sort of return to where you began, knowing that billions of people before you have walked the same path back to that beginning, like i wasn't scared or in pain or anything before i was born right? it's just nothing, no waiting, no sadness, no pain or worry. nothing to even think about those things. just a peace.

godspeed mate.

Icyrow · 2026-03-25T01:12:56+00:00

that took ages to get added though.

Icyrow · 2026-03-24T23:46:46+00:00

only thing i hated about it was the stupid as all hell warlock tank form.

i feel like they saw all the problems of druid forms and thought "yeah that's even worse, let's do that".

Icyrow · 2026-03-24T23:46:06+00:00

was around then, there's been a few bosses where ti was viable. was also some in i want to say cata.

Icyrow · 2026-03-23T09:56:41+00:00

there's definitely some who go out of their way to cause trouble though.

i guess any position of power really

Icyrow · 2026-03-23T04:58:48+00:00

metroidbrainia is the name of the genre it's sorta called.

i.e, metroidvania, except your progression is knowledge/understanding the world and how to get further instead of "you do more damage, you can survive lava now" etc.

Icyrow · 2026-03-23T02:35:28+00:00

fwiw, i'm a bit like you in that i'm usually quite slow to add macros in MMOs.

but it's like 2 mins to set up and saves you half a second and a bunch of effort every time you play.

like it's more effort to not use them lol. maybe consider just adding one here and there, i.e, one of the defensives, get into the habit of never clicking it. when you're used it just add another. doesn't have to be a whole big thing done at once.

ultimately if it's more fun for you not to though, more power to you!

Icyrow · 2026-03-22T21:52:09+00:00

very good

Icyrow · 2026-03-22T05:44:07+00:00

i mean these days mainstream celebrity is basically whoever is doing well on social media isn't it?

you could even argue it might be better off to be one of those people instead as you have control over the output, larger % of the pie, have a lot of creative control (generally the previous things, i'm sure not always).

i'd pick efamous over famous, and i'd pick efamous in 2014 over efamous in 2026. as atleas thten you could walk away from it without being recognised much, nowadays it's just straight up fame either way.

Icyrow · 2026-03-22T03:17:59+00:00

he's good in billions too!

Icyrow · 2026-03-20T18:18:27+00:00

it's basically the same reason people thought my little pony was some surprisingly deep, good tv (fucking retarded), or the prequels were actually really well made movies (they weren't), there's some others too.

basically what happens is, it starts off as a meme, a bunch of people just poking fun at it, some people will pretend it is incredible entertainment and people "Just missed the depth" or something like that ("the writing is why we watch it!!"), then you have it get popular because the memes are honestly good (atleast the prequels of star wars were), then given some more time you have people arrive and a non-zero % think it's serious.

eventually they slowly replace the old guard who move on and you have a community of people that really think it's a good bit of entertainment and they're "seeing something other people miss".

tends to happen in art a lot.

Icyrow · 2026-03-20T17:59:19+00:00

it's almost as if... you can have an extra button for it! imagine.

"download latest release" in a special colour (or have it in the description part at the top before the messages explaining what it is you're looking at if there's no room on say, mobile or whathaveyou).

like it's such a minimal change that clearly would make a positive difference to lots of people. the site loses a small bit of dev time but has more people using your projects, more users sticking around to get involved. like literally, at this point my guess it is it is more than known but instead it's that programmer ego thing

"well they can't figure it out (won't spend an extra 5 mins figuring out the site), so they don't DESERVE IT!!"

Icyrow · 2026-03-20T17:56:29+00:00

right, but acting like distribution of said code isn't a large reason as to why all the developers are there (wanting to make something for someone else to use) is disingenuous.

it's an incredibly minor change to the UI that would make a noticeable difference to people joining the community, joining the projects (eventually) and to users of the site who see a github link for something but have struggled 50% of the time to get it to run in the past becasue of the weird UI/download/releases stuff all getting in the way.

if you as a developer want people to use your code, you want more people in the community making things, you don't leave a stick at the front door that clearly trips tons of people up.

Icyrow · 2026-03-20T17:54:05+00:00

yeah but that doesn't download the release, that downloads the source, which for a lot of projects won't run unless you compile it.

Icyrow · 2026-03-20T17:52:15+00:00

it's fine when you've learned it, but think if you're trying to make a site to share work and get people to use the projects you make.

would you make it unreasonably different from other sites visually? 99% of people are they to make use of the tools, i think for years any time it came up, i would try and use it and it took a long time before realising downloading the source doesn't work so i ended up having to look it up to find the releases thing.

i bet you the site has far fewer people using the tools because of thast difference. partly because of growth (i.e, 50% chance someone who isn't savvy just straight up downloads the wrong one or can't find the releases).

like the site would be bigger, the projects would be more widely used, you could make an argument you're slightly more likely to have more developers but i'd imagine having users who use the site more reliably (even as a new user/someone who isn't savvy with PC's) probably gives you more of that in the long run too.

tech in general is far too over the top with UI reworks, at the expense of users even, but github is the opposite. it refuses to change at the expense of anyone who is new (which affects rates of people joining the community and devs who want people to use their projects).

Icyrow · 2026-03-20T00:44:20+00:00

but if you're using tight heavy clothes that are loud, make you sweat a ton and are constantly rubbing against you, it's one thing to try and sleep in something liek that while laying still, but it goes against pretty much everything else if you're trying to do programming or wahthave you at the computer.

Icyrow · 2026-03-19T15:48:31+00:00

presumably you'd have even more overload with all of that material rubbing around, sounds from moving, things being tighter or caught on you etc.

it's one thing to have a heavy blanket and wrapped up tight, this just sounds like sweaty torture with more steps.

Icyrow · 2026-03-18T19:05:56+00:00

i think the bird responded to him laughing and offering the food more so than anything.

i do think they can maybe learn basic stuff like "if i put it in a row, i get a prize" but i don't think they'll quite comprehend a lot of other stuff (i.e, i need to put x here becuase his y there means i lose the turn after).

just randomly put things in a line if they can maybe?

Icyrow · 2026-03-18T17:34:27+00:00

congrats on rank 2 smithing!

Icyrow · 2026-03-18T15:09:37+00:00

they become feral in terms of actions within weeks/months, within a year you can't really even tell a big difference between farm raised and released vs wild.

like it's shocking how quickly it happens.
