The owl displays a dialog bubble when the file state on the computer is different than that of the game, collecting a new spell, becoming a new character changes the game state and requests a new bubble to be drawn.

Finishing up the last details in the Oquonie game, specifically the save/load file format handling. The game is designed to run on a VM, and will be distributed with a manual that describes exactly how to write an emulator to run the 700kb rom - Our hope is that if platforms change, or if someone want to run it on their own unique system, they need only port the emulator, so the game may survive bit rot. The entire toolchain including assemblers/linters is hosted on that same virtual machine. When I hear governmental officials talking about the unspoiled wilderness of BC, I think of it like a kind of "virtual wilderness", the only thru roads are owned by logging camps, so it's a kind of "trust us it's there" type of wilderness, people can't get there and so ought to take their words for it. But you need just sail north and not follow the ferry lines to find that all mountain-sides look like: <image of a clearcut mountainside>

 “Beautiful BC” is as believable “Trustworthy Conservative” - only the willfully blind can believe such misleading and dishonest slogans @neauoire Yeah, as much as I hate google, google earth is a good way to see what BC *really* looks like. Apple Maps works as well. I don't know of any other well-updated satellite imagery apps. I remember taking a dirt road off of the Coquihalla in the early 90's. Headed over the first ridge, clear cut as far as the eye could see. Of course, from the highway, all you could see was trees…  @neauoire It's similar (but of course on a smaller scale) in Scotland, I mean it's considered wilderness from a British perspective, but all of it is known and owned and exploited. It's been nice to watch Kandria come together, Shinmera released a paper with some thoughts on how it has been to build the game in Common Lisp.   When a function does something, it should do it completely, like a good bonfire. It should not be a smoky fire. It should burn itself completely. If it do not burn itself completely, a trace of the function will be left in what it does. Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind :enso:  @neauoire i don't remember him talking specifically about function calls but surely he was Last night, I was thinking about the Genera scrollbar pattern which is a diagonal stroke that is more dense than what you could normally tile over 8x8 tiles. It turns out it's made of a pattern that tiles over 3 tiles, it's kind of a nice detail.

 Permacomputación - Diapos Subversivas (3era ed.) @neauoire @laletrajota thanks a lot for sharing this! I've been introducing permacomputing to my local gamedev community and people always asks about resources in spanish. this is great <3 Found ourselves a truck mount fire extinguisher bracket to hold the carbonated water keg under the sink. It's padded and everything.

 ooOooo do you have any more info on this setup? I was literally about to go buy one... Also, is the pin tamper evident? You should tie it into an alarm :awesome_rotate:   Spent the week doing livecoding at the Biosonic residency, with Anju Singh. It was a lot of fun. Even after years of noodling with Orca, I still discover new things.

Spend enough time doing functional programming and you start mixing up 0 to mean True. :mocking:  @neauoire berlin elektroclash back with a vengance. can i interest you in mia's first LP? https://www.discogs.com/master/191243-MIA-Hieb-Stichfest Fuck I'm so tired of all that AI shit on my feed, no amount of muting is going to improve it. I think I'm overdue for a holiday off the fediverse.

 Six buddies loading up a Bavaria C50 with 500-2000kilos of explosives, dive gear, to spend several days at sea sabotaging international natural gas pipelines in 80m of water @neauoire German media has wildly different views in on this. Some say it's impossible, others say any hobby diver can do it. 🤷  @neauoire when I was a teen, we used to get jobs on gas exploartion lines, doing geological exploration. Lug gas. Swing a chain saw, haul explosives. I have enough knowledge to blow things up to make way for a pipline. But I've never dived below 50 and mostly not more than 30. But I like a challenge. And a navy seal in a weatsuit. Yummy ;-) Wrote an implementation of the pretty Hilbert curve fractal. Since it relies on a sort of value swapping scheme, it lends itself pretty well to stack machines assembly.

 @neauoire Hm, so if I understand correctly, this only works because the opcodes for ADD and SUB are 18 and 19. Were those values to change in a future release, most code would still work, but this piece would break. 🤔 It's interesting how "code = data" is true in both assembly and Lisp, but their takes on it are entirely different. 🙂 |
