You can always bind the JSON to a hashmap implementation, as that’s all JSON is anyway. It’s not pretty but it works.

I genuinely think these games would not have the rep for difficulty if dodge was on button-down instead of up. That slight lack of responsiveness kills your a lot until you train yourself to compensate for it by pre-empting attacks (which means you have to learn the full moveset of the boss).

Yeah, I remember the time i had a project manager who’d come over from the construction industry, used construction industry metaphors, and thought everything would be the same.

Spicy food does have a difficulty slider. It’s pretty difficult to find a curry in Australia that’s not so full of cream it’s basically a fruit salad.

Gaben has now got 19 Billion dollars he’ll never spend.

Remove ads and AI garbage next please.

They’re not AAA games on an iPhone - they’re tech demos.

You need to play these on a 14” CRT on the floor.

Stuart Pearce of England’s missed penalty kick in the 1990 World Cup semi finals.

The post said Hitler was better than Elon.

That’s still stunningly more people still using it than they deserve. I guess it’s hard to create new social networks.

I am altering the deal. Pray that I don’t alter it any further.

A “politics” channel on a site called Lemmy.World that is specifically only for US politics, because America is the world.

Yeah, but at least you don’t have to learn whether a fridge is male or female.

“But sir, downloading viewings for ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ could blow up the entire Internet!”

You’d like to think that, but the last several years have proven beyond a doubt that they’re much more concerned that we’re sitting at our desks during set hours than any actual outcomes.

If only we could convert empty hype into energy.

Always weird to be reminded that the World’s eminent superpower is obsessed with cutting bits off babies’ dicks. But then, maybe that’s the secret behind their economic strength?

After all, the Romans did some pretty wild stuff, like making their horses generals.

I wrote so many essays and exam answers in the late 90s on how IPv6 would come in and fix everything and I’m really feeling this.

Pray that I don’t alter the deal further.

/r/tvtoohigh was a tragic loss to humanity the day Reddit died.

Mystery solved.

You could use a typewriter to copy any book, so they’re about as dangerous a technology as it gets.

Netflix already defeated piracy by producing endless mid “content” like The Grey Man that you can’t even be bothered to watch for free.

Weird to think that she actually lived with Racist Uncle Elon for all those years before he gave up pretending and just had that as his public persona.

I was genuinely looking forward to them refusing to install airbags because it compromised the dashboard being 100% screen, and then later installing airbags in a “notch”, but calling them iBags, and advertising them as a revolutionary new feature that only Apple could think different enough to invent.

Accidents already planned for the administrators who allowed the 12% through.

It’s amazing there are still so many brands and social media strategists who seem in denial about what’s happening even as they watch their customer engagement on Twitter/X evaporate before their very eyes.

AI art is like the speech synthesiser that came with Amiga’s Workbench. Amusing for yourself to make it say swears, but of no interest to anyone else.

Management: we need to find ways to automate work using AI

Dressing up as a skydiver and dying on a lawn would be a brilliant prank to play if you knew Miss Marple was coming to town.

You basically hide in the kitchen with the other kitchen hiding people until the party ends, particularly when someone in the living room picks up an acoustic guitar.

Not new. US Evangelism is explicitly a doomsday cult, and Israel is key to their eschatology.

Longbow was the main battle weapon of samurai. Even after firearms, which they got the peasants to stand in a line and fire volleys just like in the West.

Nothing good is about to happen to that mascot suit.

Crazy idea maybe, but what if the senior justiciary of his country weren’t political appointees?

Ireland should do a civil war against America for whatever the hell was going on in that weird parade scene in the Fugitive where they’re all dressed as leprechauns.

Why are they not using those nanotech microchip trackers that are small enough to fit in a vaccine, and that can communicate with a satellite without any need for a radio or battery?

Any gains from LLM now would barely offset the complexity bloat introduced in enterprise applications in the last decade alone. And that’s not even taking into account the sins of the past that are only hidden behind the topsoil lair of cargo cult architecture.

According to the conspiracy people on LinkedIn hundreds of millions of vaccinated people are already dead. I’ve had like four so I probably only have minutes to live.

Possibly I’m safe due to being in Australia, a country that doesn’t exist.
