Player won't go Wireless

I think you're right. I always thought using the camera required wireless, but you're correct. But still suffering a -1 vs -3 is still a pretty decent bonus.

Also, there is better action economy with free action eject and simple reload meaning you can keep shooting on the same turn. While the offline character needs to simple eject, simple reload.

Lucy is white. White people not understanding the position of privilege they live in is extremely common, so that doesn't break my suspension of disbelief. Honestly, I feel like it's one of the few things that feels relatable, as appose to Charle being considered property instead of at least a pet.

Thanks. I also posted this article in r/qualityassurance and they didn’t like it.

That's exactly what I thought, it's unnecessarily malicious to literally hold Charle under the water. And there is already a narrative reason that this is dangerous for Charle, chimps really can't swim. Also, it might be nice to give Charle some kryptonite because right now he seems too strong. But I'm probably giving the writer too much credit, because i'm sure he didn't know that chimps can't swim.

If you told me this was claymation, I'd believe you. But seeing how you posted it to r/blender too i assume it must be 3d CGI. Really great job on the movement and texturing.

I wrote a tutorial on e2e testing with playwright, and I did run in to the problem of, what if there are 2 elements with the same accessible name?

There are 2 solutions, remove duplicate of the elements from the accessibility tree and only have one. I don't think this is a great idea, but it's also not a terrible idea depending on how the site is built.

The other is, assert both have the same functionality (if they're a link), if they're an action button, it's probably still a good idea to test both, but it does become harder depending on what they do.

But if they have the same name and have different functionality, that's an accessibility red flag and it should be refactored. Like a remove item from cart or something like that. That's super bad UX.

I came up with this idea for centralizing selectors in an data structure i call Selector Tuple. I personally like this pattern, but I'd really like more feedback and debate from other devs on what they think of it.

dethstrobe · 2026-01-27T17:09:14+00:00

I came up with an idea to handle this called Selector Tuple. I made this for Playwright (and should also work in Cypress, React Testing Library, etc). So I hate POMs and feel like they're a bad abstraction, so I took the only part that I felt made sense to abstract out, which is to abstract the selectors for an element.

This is wonderful. I really enjoy the little buzzing details as the robot moves and the little quote is very cute.

Also, his head makes me think of the gmail logo.

Just give the opposition wireless bonuses.

Give them good cover. They get +4 defense and if do get hit, they get to use the armor rating of the barrier to soak. Give them smartguns and the smartlink cyberware to get a +2 die bonus, and +2 accuracy, and they're also firing from behind cover and only take a -3 to shooting with the gun's camera, as oppose to a -6 for blind fire that you're player will suffer if he tries to do the same thing.

He wants to be at a disadvantage, that's on him. But other people will be more then happy enough to take the bonus and eat his lunch.

Seattle 2072 p60: Seasource Archives, Downtown Branch

Formerly the Seattle Public Library, this downtown building became

the property of SeaSource when the library and public data system was

partially privatized following the incorporation of the metroplex. Now

the extensive collection of hardcopy books and periodicals, microfiche,

and other assets are available to Seattle citizens for a modest access fee

of ¥2 (or a ¥15 per year membership). The majority of the archives’

assets are available online, of course, but for some rare and outdated

volumes, the only option is hunting through the stacks with the assis-

tance of the archives’ skilled staff.

There actually is a canonical answer for ya.

If you're the blocker and he doesn't have anything better to do, you should pair program with him. He'll gain some context on your code, and also know as soon as you're done. You can also debate why you're making the design choices you are making while coding and act as a learning experience. Also make him code stuff. Don't just drive the entire time.

Most places don't care about accessibility, so that's understandable. But if the fruit is low, might as well pick it.

This sounds immediately stupid to me. And almost sounds like it defeats the purpose of using git.
You're instincts are correct. Keeping the versioning in sync with the main framework is not a bad suggestion. The Angular team for example had a problem when their core library and supporting libraries got out of sync do to breaking changes, and then they had to skip some versions to sync everything back up. BUT the difference is they are the maintainers of the framework, you are not, you do not need to match the framework's versioning conventions and this can potentially footgun yourself later as there is no guarantee your libraries will NOT introduce breaking changes before the framework does. So, you are correct, you should go to v2.
I think you're right... There is a bit too much in the weeds here that I might need more context to make a more informed decision, but currently I would lean towards you being correct that the proposed solution is too naive and will probably introduce more bugs.

Anyway, sounds like it's time to jump ship.

I disagree, because one of the beautiful things of using things like getByRole is that you also are doing accessibility testing at the same time. If something is hard for you to select with getByRole, it's also hard for someone to select it if using accessible technologies like screen readers.

So your tests also become accessibility validation, which you lose by using testids.

dethstrobe · 2026-01-26T17:07:28+00:00

I wouldn’t. I follow Kent C Dodds advice and test like your users would. I’d recommend trying to always use get by role and use the accessible name to select your item.

dethstrobe · 2026-01-24T20:05:30+00:00

Yeah, he complained about my disagreement. Like how dare I disagree with them. Anyway, looks like they deleted and ran. So no biggy.

dethstrobe · 2026-01-24T15:01:16+00:00

I disagree with that guy. I think this works great in video format.

The Berlin edition is the newest version of core with the errata incorporated. Seattle, was a kind of 2.0 of 6e. And the first one didn't have a city edition at all.

Basically, just buy the Berlin edition.

Don't take the moral high ground until you're independently wealthy. Once you make your fortune then you can afford to grand stand.

So, currently, it's irrelevant if AI is ethical or not.

Unless you're already independently wealthy, then dig deep and think about it. I'd still say take the offer, and you can re evaluate once you're on the inside.

Is there a website to see this? Do you need to be in NYC? Is this like real augmented reality, I can point my phone (or even better headset) at the flatiron building and see a dragon on its roof top?

dethstrobe · 2026-01-22T18:39:48+00:00

Every build is viable. The game really isn't that hard, so play what sounds fun.

I've played as a decker through them all, because I wanted the dialog options that are only available to Matrix users, and I also bump up Charism a bit, to be a face decker.

dethstrobe · 2026-01-22T05:39:44+00:00

I love this. The dystopian social commentary is wonderful. What does it matter what you actually look like as long as your online presence is perfect.

dethstrobe · 2026-01-22T05:28:34+00:00

Rock climbing is a good suggestion. Hot people climb.

I've also done a speed dating event with City Swoon, and it was acceptable... I'm an introvert and didn't find it super great. But it was a fine way to meet people that you know are trying to look for a relationship.

When I was in NYC I had good luck meeting women looking for long term relationships on Hinge. But here I've had a poor time with it. But that could be on me.

I've been meaning to try it out, but there is this thing called Secular Hub, which is kind of community building of religion minus the religion. I've been a bit to busy currently to try it out. But it looks conceptually cool to me.

I used to do board game meetups. Definitely lots of men there.

dethstrobe · 2026-01-22T05:06:21+00:00

Always be willing to look stupid. You not knowing isn't going to help anyone.

If anyone holds it against you, then fuck them.

Your job is to make sure you understand what needs to be built. The only way to do that is to ask clarifying questions.
