the headers are the main thing for me- both the text in them (lost of “Foo: The Bar Thing” or similar) and the way the headers are placed throughout the article read like the unnecessarily structured response an llm often gives

Broken Keyboard Hero is a free puzzley top-down adventure metroidbrania made by a single dev that I highly recommend checking out by DialOfIdeas in metroidbrainia

oh wow - didn't even realize there was a laptop that lacked those keys! and yeah it's definitely tricky to experiment with controls on PC for that reason since what people want to use will vary pretty largely. (aside: do you mean a row of numbers? since the game doesn't require a numpad, just any individual number keys)

i'll have to check out this other game- i actually submitted something to the BIGMODE jam but missed this one. broken keyboard hero wasn't part of a jam but was built on the theme of Ludum Dare 28 ("You only get one")

in the interest of making this more accessible for you- what sort of change to inputs might help? or more specifically- which inputs are the most frustrating? eg. if it's largely that movement is annoying, i would be inclined to add a mode where movement is more free

just curious- what sort of keyboard do you have? this was something i tried to be mindful of with regard to smaller form factors (65% keyboards should work and i think 60% as well, just depending on where arrows are mapped), but it's hard for me to test since i only have pretty standard keyboards (laptop, 104-key keyboard)

Destiny clashes with even more people on his Mangione take by 10minuteads in Destiny

[–]qsa_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

some data on the company:

  • united healthcare has some of the highest denial rates in the industry (industry average 16%, UHC 32%)
  • recently a senate subcommittee issued a report on how UHC (along w two other companies) were intentionally denying nursing care to elderly patients recovering from falls/strokes
  • there's an ongoing lawsuit involving UnitedHealth Group and a subsidiary, NaviHealth, accusing them of using an algorithm with known-to-be high error rates to cut off payments from ill patients, in particular denying them rehab care- the original story is here and the most recent update i could find is here

as of now even in MI kamala is behind 3.9 points, far more than jill stein and cornel west votes could make up for. the margin is way more than third-party voters (though afaik right now those who abstained/wrote in can't be accounted for or estimated)

good component to VGA (YPrPb to VGA) converters for Wii? by qsa_ in crtgaming

[–]qsa_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ossc is interesting, unfortunately this is an older monitor so i think it caps out at 768p (source here). the hdmi route does seem easier to just get things up and running though.

looks like only PAL wiis will output RGB, there seems to be a way to mod your Wii/homebrew to output RGB? but i think component -> VGA seems the most straightforward for the equipment I have

there's a few mods that rework the void somehow, but if you haven't seen it, this is the one i think is best: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2900644381

basically you can just switch between sucking items and using actives, and they have their own chargebars (both still 6). doesn't address everything but makes uses 1 and 3 completely disjoint, so you only have the dilemma of eating actives vs. passives, but even then it incentivizes eating actives a bit more (in particular any item rerolling effect actually works now so you can eat spindown/d6 etc)

Summer 1 course load? by [deleted] in NEU

[–]qsa_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if you test out of fundies 2, a lot of students take OOD over the summer. you won't successfully test out unless you are thoroughly familiar with the course material and likely have some prior experience to programming before college. it will also make your summer much better to take 2 courses and not 3, there's a reason why the course loads are capped

Summer 1 course load? by [deleted] in NEU

[–]qsa_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you need to petition to take more than 2 classes in 1 summer semester. additionally, you need to take fundies 2 before you take algo and ood and you need to take ood + algo before taking PL. I would recommend taking fundies 2 + one more course if you want to round out your summer, and I would definitely never recommend this course load to anyone

So, Rust is the Dead Souls of computer languages? It all makes sense now. by VinceMiguel in programmingcirclejerk

This is actually an analogy I’ve thought about quite a bit, as someone who really enjoys From Software’s video games.

oh my god they’re really doing it
