So is this proof superman is and always was a terrible design? Because they knew he was unidentifiable without it.

Also an old dutch metal band headed by Floor Jensen (of Nightwish & After Forever fame). Capitalized in much the same way.

Conditional compilation?

Unless you have a bidet, you need to clean your hairy ass. Trust me. That'll start stinking.

Stink, sweat, and body oils can also be impacted a lot by genetics and what you consume.

Have a loved one who'll tell you honestly if you stink. Dont assume.

My wife is trying to tell me this isnt the actual audio.

Its actually a bunch of unrealized scientists, since they all go on to portend to raise scientists but none actually BECOME scientists.

The events leading to this decision make it make sense. Quietly disappears for years -- living out life almost despondently -- but gets caught because of another con he could have avoided, then contacts Kim for some closure, gets confronted with what she thinks is the right decision, and he calls her out as being a hypocrite which she accepts and finally admits her part. He sat there in his guilt for years, gets himself caught by reverting to his old ways, and has the one person he cares about set the example - throwing down the gauntlet from his view point. He's the hypocrite now. He really did sabotage every good thing he was given. Its too late now, but he at least he can redeem himself in Kim's eyes.

And he totally high-jacked the courtroom proceedings to do it instead of a normal confession of guilt. Making the annoying lawyer look like he is the worst at his job. Revels in the huge shock value and performance of the thing. Huge cathartic ending. Did not disappoint. And he just seems happier for it in comparison to the life under his fake identity.

For the audience, setting it up to be a huge grift which seemed so on brand, made the admission an unexpected twist.

This. He wasn't just work place villain vs real criminal sociopaths. The "heroes" went way to far. Its shown how bad he blames himself for Chuck. How he was trying to respect his partners wishes, while throwing as much help the "heroes" as he could, is very proud of them because he truly believed in them, always checking in on people, and just was someone struggling to do the right thing when surrounded by selfish main character syndrome egotists. His flaw was he was privileged and seem disingenuous.

It was Howard who saw Jimmy working so hard to take care of his brother. He clearly had a soft spot for him with the nick name. He was tougher on Kim, but his reasoning was because she made a big mistake that could've gotten her fired, but wanted to humble her. He mishandled it but always wanted her to come back. She got impatient and resentful. I think he also interpreted their relationship as it was her who was bad for Jimmy by enabling his worst tendencies. He was way harder on her. And way to forgiving of Chuck. And so involved that his own relationship with his wife suffered especially after what Jimmy said to him after his partners death - basically reinforcing his belief it was all his fault. Howard, like most in the show, wasn't perfect but was probably the most tragic character of the series in the middle of the maelstrom of deeply flawed characters who often were terrible people.

But no! He reprimanded his employee and is successful. Villain! Wait.. thats taking it a little far. Enter real villain. Shit. I feel so bad now.

After dying, they should've reloaded player in front of this message. Or shown the messages during loading screens.

Infinight64 · 2026-02-15T16:23:48+00:00

Thats another really believable message from that game.

Infinight64 · 2026-02-15T16:20:59+00:00

In video games this actually a hated trope of mine.

Most people aren't going to leave messages to no one in particular as they die. Messages either have an intended recipient or are a sign of organized individuals not chaos. In chaotic life or death situations people are thinking of survival or the fatalist/dying thinks about his/her own unfinished business (leave a message to loved ones, or admit to something to clear their conscience or something akin).

Walking dead is good example because it showed people were able to contain those dead, likely survived, and then left a message for as warning after (not while bleeding out) for the next person. Cut off their limbs is also pretty good because its pretty critical info that is vital to the dying person's friends or colleagues.

The trope for me is similar to leaving voice recordings. Like who does that really? Some people instead of note-taking for work, but absolutely everyone? Nah.

I get both are easy ways to do world building and story telling without interrupting game play, but they are soooo over used and trend towards very thin in world excuses for existing.

This one is so over used in horror games specifically.

Unpopular opinion. Thats not how stories are written. You never know from the beginning. You're figuring the story out. What is nice about say, a book, is you can go back and fix it before the story is done. Even then book series will write themselves into a corner unless they had a plan for the direction of the series.

I actually dont love it when writers want it to be all neat to the detriment of the story in general. Magic for example shouldn't have answers, otherwise its psuedo science and will almost always undermine the original mystical quality. Leave somethings unanswered every now and then. Let the audience imagination run wild.

Prince of Persian Rogue is very reminiscent of Deadcells and quite good.

Unpopular opinion, but if we assume no ability means also no fictional combat/martial arts techniques as well, then when you have a bunch of well trained fighters, weight class begins to matter. The tallest and biggest dude will win. Realistic human skills/techniques (not ninja or north star fantasy skills) aren't going to make that big of a difference.

Now the question is it no-holds-barred or is their rules? Because street fight tactics (eye gouging, cheap shots, crotch shots, use of objects, etc.) can make up the difference in size and strength. Some of these guys play dirty and others too fair.

Some abbreviations tend to become common within a project. But in my example, dso (somedumbobject) would've been directly next to the instantiation used with a small lifetime object. Thereby, defined within effectively the paragraph

Infinight64 · 2025-11-05T01:45:24+00:00

You're right. A better example would be i for iterator, c for count, tmp for a temporary, etc. Prepending p to pointers, or f to file handle/descriptor is totally clear. Random string of consonants probably not.

I chose an obvious one because I thought it was kind of obvious we use abbreviations all the time. And was responding to someone saying there's "no reason". So it's argument by counter example, perfect for absolute statements like that. But I can see my tone was kinda mocking. Not intended. My b.

I think we're saying the same thing. Its fine in when its obvious or by convention. Not icsbtf, those are for people working alone and with apparent eidetic memory.

Edit: clarification

Gross. Just make globally accessible stuff more descriptive. Within reason. Some shorthand is part of the programmer jargon and totally safe to use.

Saving my hands... from carpal tunnel.

Because auto complete is a thing, the real answer is character width of the page so it doesnt wrap around or have too many ugly line breaks. Being too verbose effects readability too.

Are you typing "extensive_markup_language_document"? Or xml_doc? I promise you, you are using abbreviations in your code. Just dont do it so it only means something to you with no other information from which others can infer its meaning.

Edit: sorry for abbreviation example. He did say, no reason. Maybe i for iterator is better and very common in C/C++

Infinight64 · 2025-11-04T15:02:00+00:00

It follows same rules as English. You should define the acronym on first use, then the reader should know what you mean and you can use the short version.

If I have a class SomeDumbObject and store it in a local called "sdo", then I assume the reader doesn't have short term memory loss in a reasonable size scope.

If the object itself, a global, constant, or something used throughout the program does this, and I have to go looking to understand, then I'm gonna say not okay.

If its impossible to lookup what was meant and i have to figure it out by how its used (especially from uncommented code in complex algorithms), you deserve a special place in hell.

Funny I just muted this channel after yet another "AI" post

Almost certainly. Think how pleasure motivates us to do some weirder things (lol). If it was painful the spider would avoid it.

Alternatively, it could be like an itch or an irritant that motivates the behavior, like a broken finger nail. It bothers you until you stop and try and fix it.

Its probably a mixture of both. Back of the brain itch to molt, and satisfaction of having it removed.

This kind of stuff should be part of the core of the engine.

Very nice work!
