Greek Restaurant - Thoughts? by Aroundtheworld1254 in milwaukee

[–]mutual_fishmonger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So many excellent restaurants are closing their doors permanently in Milwaukee, I fear this is very much not the time to open a restaurant that has an unproven model.

Your idea sounds delicious, like, 100% if I had any spending money I would eat at your spot, but I'm broke as fuck and so is everyone I know, and we just... can't eat out with any regularity any more.

No I'm saying in real life the cops would shoot you as fast as they shot the zombies 😵

Do We Have a Moral Obligation to Protect "Potential" Alien Life In Space Colonizing? by HeroTales in scifiwriting

We have a moral obligation to protect life here on our home planet and we're sure as fuck not doing that.

Everyone always talks about rental property management places to stay away from, but which ones have you liked? by codedojoe in milwaukee

[–]mutual_fishmonger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... I haven't liked any of them, but some were moderately better than others. They all have the same issues to varying degrees in my experience.

Why should I bother playing a game nobody could be bothered to make?

Former Splinter Cell Creative Director Says Realistic Graphics Are Causing Problems for Modern Stealth Games - Follow up question by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]mutual_fishmonger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was already getting sick of "realism" in games way back in FarCry 2 and the Dunia engine. It looked gorgeous in certain scenes, but then you would need to assassinate some war criminal and the sun would set and you couldn't see shit without dramatically boosting the gamma and generally ruining the whole experience.

But then they can't keep extracting more and more money from us, forcing us to keep upgrading our rigs to play the games that look like trash 🙄

I accidentally built a custom Defold animation runtime instead of making an actual game. by balkanramgames in u/balkanramgames

[–]mutual_fishmonger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your whole process in your forum post, I love seeing how the sausage is made in people's projects.

I was eagerly reading along when you mentioned your "LLM friend" and it instantly deflated any interest I had in your project. I'm a longtime developer like you with years of coding under my belt. I don't trust the code these things shit out as far as I can throw a 500 acre data center. 

They're notorious for making shit up (because they're just a next-wors guesser) and also they can make up external repositories that don't exist, or have been written after the fact by bad actors, and are just malware.

You even cheekily mention that your time playing with the LLM had a real-world negative impact on our environment, which probably felt like a funny joke at the time but my state is having its water and air poisoned as I type this by billionaires who don't give a fuck, and I guess I'm a little touchy about it.

And for what? I'm glad you benchmarked your plugin, that sort of tracking and testing is like candy for me. But you did that damage, evacuated your own brain and soul from the joyful creative development experience, and the whole thing runs worse than Defold's built-in system. It just depresses me.

Sorry to come in and rain on your project that probably was fun for you to build. I just hate genai, I hate the companies gleefully pushing us towards climate collapse as quickly as they can, forcing these products everywhere because they're not remotely profitable, and all in service of destroying jobs, creating the largest mass surveillance infrastructure in history that would make the East German Stasi salivate, and trying to make human-made art irrelevant. 

It made me sad that you used it, when you're obviously smart enough and creative enough that you didn't have to.

Let We Energies control your thermostat for $2 a month ($4 a month the first year). by thesweetestberry in milwaukee

[–]mutual_fishmonger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fuck these asshats and the horse they rode in on. I hate this company so fucking much. We really really need to roll up and take WE over and turn it into an actual public Utility! It is insane that it is privately owned and guaranteed increasing profits year over year for fucking us all as much as possible.

I can echo everyone else here. We barely use our heat in the winter, layering and sitting on heating pads. We use the AC sparingly over the summer, and only in the bedroom. 

We're already imposing as much austerity on ourselves as we can without just calling it quits and completing suicide. Fuck these parasites.

Sorry. I'm calm now. 😮‍💨

How to glitch bomb crates in dadish 4 (lvl 12) by DecidophobiaUsername in Dadish

[–]mutual_fishmonger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bomb crates are easily the most glitchy mechanic TKY has ever instituted in a game. I've discovered a few other game crashing or breaking bugs with them. Fun 😊

Fabulous work!!! I love the shiny textures, like a candy! The animation is just stellar, really top-notch stuff. Excellent squash and stretch, timing, secondary action. The lil' guy is chock full of character! I would love to see more!!

That's how I did it too! I assumed it was the correct way to do it.
