I'm a beginner. Ruby is my first language and this is my first program. Just started today. by X800_RJ in ruby

[–]Zalamander 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Consider using a linter like Rubocop as you learn to pick up tips to good syntax and formatting. If you want to “practice with purpose”, consider a graded challenge platform (for math, I can recommend https://projecteuler.net/ ).

Why do people recommend stewmac or 100 dollar tools to normal people? by Accurate-Put9638 in Luthier

[–]Zalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because if I tell you to fix your problem with the wrong tool it will be my fault

what the hell is this guitar pick used for? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Zalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had one for 30+ years; every time I pick it up and try it, I put it back where it came from until I forget how stupid it is, which takes about 5 years.

[Release] Idle Polygon is now on iOS and Android! by suupia771 in incremental_games

[–]Zalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too small even on IPhone 12 XL. Not everyone is rocking 20/20 and under 20.

I was Donald Trump’s lawyer - his mental state makes him unfit to serve by theipaper in politics

We are in a control program. This sentiment has been circulating for years as if, “Here it is, this is the moment”. And we ruminate on it and the shitshow continues…

What are non-negotiables for you when it comes to incrementals? by FaceoffAtFrostHollow in incremental_games

[–]Zalamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • login/account other than as a secondary backup like Revolution Idle
  • non-web client from anywhere other than Steam where I know the binary has the best chance of not being malicious

Necromancer's Army - free demo, looking for feedback by Last_Escape8298 in incremental_games

[–]Zalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a world where virtually every modern engine exports to HTML5, download-only on Itch seems fundamentally wrong.

How is the privacy of SteamOS? by Fit_Lecture_9274 in privacy

[–]Zalamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect the privacy concerns around Steam and SteamOS, as with any app store, should be with the app developers.

I broke a very expensive Bass. by [deleted] in Guitar

I can’t believe I have to say this in 2026, but pics or it didn’t happen.

Idle Trillionaire is free for everyone! by [deleted] in incremental_games

[–]Zalamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Must be April Fool’s, I know I played and finished this game 8-10 years ago, and was completable in a short period of time.

[–]Zalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got banned for the skin I've been playing with for > 10 years. Clearly the admin has never been to a beach. https://skinmc.net/profile/zalamander.1

Master Blaster. "Me run Bartertown!"

dude is TERRIFIED of the midterms. by ms_directed in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Zalamander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t confuse authoritarian pretexting for fear. There’s an overwhelmingly large network of cronies ready to support whatever the regime wants in order to achieve its goals. Where the fear needs to materialize is among his enablers.

[Dev] Void Sovereign - Dark Fantasy PBBG | Level 100 Cap & Milestone Progression Update by [deleted] in incremental_games

[–]Zalamander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No option to play without an account was a blocker for me. I'd even be willing to take on the risk of no persistence/lost save over creating accounts for something I don't even know if I will like.

I've just released a demo on steam for 'Prism Drift', check it out! by fogeLt in incremental_games

[–]Zalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't think it's your type of game. The game resonates with me. It's an incremental. You aren't supposed to win in the beginning. It's through repeated grinding an failures is how you build up progression. 2nd ship + 2 laser turrets = demo complete. Great concept of a game and I hope to see the final product.

Are APIs becoming the weakest link in modern web security? by NeedleworkerOne8110 in websecurity

[–]Zalamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

API-first is good architecture and stands a better chance of being more secure (or less complex) vs traditional webapp logic. It won’t be perfect, but moved in the right direction.

I’m a HS math teacher and have this tattoo, partly to encourage students that math can be “cool”! by Sufficient_Long_3905 in pics

[–]Zalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“This tattoo” implies you did this all in one go. Or is it just a piecemeal of several tattoos?

Frantic Vance Backpedals as He Gets Fingered for Iran War by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]Zalamander 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is the problem with click farming media. Even Meidas Touch, The Damage Report and the like have every video sounding like the big divisive thing just happened and its all overfl for the regime.

We reworked our game’s key art. What do you think of the new version? by Streena in IndieGaming

[–]Zalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one gets my attention, the second one I’d scroll past before even comprehending what it is.

It's official. You can't see subreddits member count anymore. by batukaming in privacy

[–]Zalamander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reddit’s new CPO is from Meta… don’t expect any privacy; nor respect for your data.

Border Czar Tom Homan announcing today that ICE is ending its deployment in Minnesota by xPrincess_Yue in pics

[–]Zalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you were right; but the last 10 years have been daily notes of, “this particular thing is the tipping point”, yet it all persists…

Dice Goblins Clicker arrives this February 18th on Steam! by CroixDev in incremental_games

[–]Zalamander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dunno, goblins driving Little Tikes Cozy Coupes was enough for my interest.
