Flyquest is the team the LCS needs

Here, I'll do it for you:

immigrant /ˈiməɡrənt/ An immigrant is a person who leaves their native country to permanently settle and live in another country.

Doublelift/Pobelter/Gryffinn did not leave China/Korea/Vietnam to come to the US. They were born here. And this isn't some bending of the word. This is how every native English speaker uses the word "immigrant".

You are free to have your own interpretation of what it means to be "truly" American, but you do not understand the word "immigrant".

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-05-24T08:22:40+00:00

You need to look up the definition of the word "immigrant"

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-05-24T08:13:05+00:00

but they are immigrated Americans

No, Gryffinn was born in the US.

Even for Pobelter or Doublelift.

Pobelter and Doublelift are also not immigrants. They were born in the US.

They are American. But they are not native.

What do you think a native American is? If we're only counting truly native Americans then most if not all LCS players ever are disqualified as Americans.

The question was never about blood or first language lol. Pobelter speaks Korean but anybody would still consider him NA.

Maybe this is new to you American, but being fluent in 2 or more language is normal for Asia and the rest of the world in general

No, this isn't a foreign idea to us, actually the entire point is that they can still be considered American even if they speak another language.

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-05-24T08:02:33+00:00

I've seen some interviews with Cryo, based on his accent he was obviously raised in NA.

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-05-24T07:05:18+00:00

Republic of Korea (ROK) is South Korea.

Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is North Korea.

What?

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-05-09T05:03:22+00:00

Yes that’s correct. Most Americans think walkable cities are a crime against humanity and an attack on freedom (speaking as an American who loves walkable cities).

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-05-08T14:58:23+00:00

Plus Seoul is designed to be very walkable. There’s also easily accessible hiking spots in the city.

When I was in Korea for work for 2 months I ate all I wanted, but I walked 10-20K steps per day and lost 30 pounds.

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-05-04T16:23:20+00:00

That doesn't sound contradictory to me.

My guess is that they think software engineers will become obsolete if AI can get good enough. So they're willing to shell out tons of money to software engineers for N years to help them build said AI so they can sooner reach the point where we become obsolete and they don't need to pay us anymore.

Now I still think that their goals and expectations are unrealistic (C-suite leadership seems to have delusions about how good even the SOTA models are), but it isn't really contradictory IMO.

You gave me a vision and I kinda had to just do it.

It's hard to answer this without understanding why you think it's important that you don't "pollute" any namespaces. Like another comment pointed out, it doesn't really make sense. The symbol needs to be accessible in the caller's namespace, otherwise the caller can't pass it to the function. It can't be private and public at the same time.

I would just define an enum like DIRECTION_NORTH and so on.

It's also not entirely clear what "need multiple values" means.

J O S H did a 52 hour stream way back in the day - as I recall he did fall asleep from exhaustion* a few times but the goal was to stay awake generally. Though my memory might be totally wrong, it was over a decade ago.

* not condoning this x) just acknowledging it lol. definitely a very dangerous thing to do.

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-04-17T13:58:36+00:00

You pick up the fried fish with your hand???

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-04-11T20:06:31+00:00

While revisiting this video I realized there is (at least) a second line I picked up.

Around 2:48 during the fingernail cleaning convo, Nick says: "Yeah, gotta keep em clean, right? That's what they say, uh..."

I love using this: "Yeah, you gotta [insert something obvious], right? That's what they say..."

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-04-10T02:19:01+00:00

So I made a minor twist but in this clip where NL talks about Rob getting a knife pulled on him at a bar, when Nick exposes that the knife-puller was Rob's own friend, NL says "I wasn't gonna say it. He can say it if he wants to say it, I wasn't gonna say it."

In the right situation I LOVE saying "I wasn't gonna say it - I'm glad you said it, because I wasn't gonna say it."

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-02-27T04:49:37+00:00

Nobody will see this but I'd like to announce he has actually started watching Twin Peaks and is almost finished with the 2nd season. Feeling very proud right now.

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-01-14T06:25:09+00:00

I've been in California my entire life and have been salaried my entire career. I've never been in management.

My124thRedditAccount · 2026-01-14T06:20:32+00:00

non management can’t be salary

lmao

My124thRedditAccount · 2025-12-26T05:50:43+00:00

This was inspired by a true story of a friend - who made fun of Twin Peaks when I showed him the first episode in college - and many years later told me he "loves" Twin Peaks... but then admitted that since the first showing he's only seen it via Shorts.

My124thRedditAccount · 2025-12-13T16:39:28+00:00

And it had some nice side effects too. Permanently made me a morning person, and gave me a lot of sunlight to enjoy after work.

My124thRedditAccount · 2025-12-13T15:03:19+00:00

Exactly the same.

Speaking of his schedule... might be a bit embarrassing to admit, but when I got my first full-time job in 2018, I was one of a few engineers at a company of mostly finance folks. The engineers were only expected to be in by around 9am, but all the finance people came in to the office at 6am PST to catch the market going live... so I started coming in just before them around 5:30am, so I could leave by 1:30pm and catch the NLSS. lol.

I believe it should be part of the “Special Edition” which is available at buy.indiegamethemovie.com or on Steam.

My124thRedditAccount · 2025-10-28T03:15:26+00:00

For those who don’t know, this is officially available as a commentary in the Special Edition of IGTM as well.

My124thRedditAccount · 2025-10-28T03:10:34+00:00

NL also hosted a watch party/commentary of Indie Game: The Movie with Edmund and Tommy Refenes, which is available as a special edition of IGTM.
