just because someone did something one way and it worked, doesn't mean you have
to do it that way again.
but you should have a reason why you aren't doing it that way.

put the variable type at the front of the variable and 90% of your type errors
will dissapear
like...int int_main(){ return 0; }
orint int_modulation_gauge_percentage_point_plus_or_minus_engagement = 0;
seeeee if the "int" value is at the start of the name then you can do this
too:double double_modulation_gauge_percentage_point_plus_or_minus_engagement =
0.0;
then when you go to fill in an "int" value you know to use the one that has the
"int" value at the beginning (doh)
(do you really think they haven't tried that already? it... sorta worked.
people started doing things like "int int_a; int int_b; int int_c;" and such
and that got confusing pretty quick because the letters weren't at the start of
the word. So for some situations we would mirror them like so: "int A = int_a;
int B = int_b; int C = int_c;" and then just use the capitalized letters.
... just don't forget to update the original teehee (this is why we invented
shadowed variables)
wait, no I meant pointers !!~! -.-

we can have games, stories, and practice wars
but none of them are precious
precious implies worth
they are worth nothing but entertainment
no problem solving utility
nothing of value
save for perhaps the spatial awareness and strategization that comes
from being a part of such a deadly ba-lance.

you can make a functional prototype for almost any game in Warcraft 3's map
editor
that's why no real-time strategy game ever made an editor as good again
FPS editors peaked at Unreal Tournament 2004 imho
RPGmaker eliminated a whole class of game design jobs
platformers you can make in godot
menu based games too, though Twine also works well for that
etc etc until you have a prdouct that you can justify sinking money into an
engine for
(the engine isn't THAT expensive geez and it's the most fun part to write)
yeah I think you got this backwards, we should pay for the CONTENT not the
structure it lives in. Why not just use godot? why not use a Warcraft 3 map?
there are some things you can't do in Warcraft 3. You couldn't make Supreme
Commander, probably, at least it wouldn't be as good.
etc etc that's how it goes...
game design, amiright? I miss thinking about that. Anyway gtg gotta log off for

I remember being a game design student before "indie games" were a real thing
they were like... flash games, y'know. just like, junk content, like memes or
whatever.
I had a passion for them, and I bookmarked the most well developed of them all.
I probably played hundreds of games, no clue how many. Maybe even thousands, I
did it for what felt like years.
since like... age 7 until 11 or 12
there's nothing that can compare to it today. maybe itch.io but they're more
involved typically. increases the barrier to enter, plus they cost dollars.
we used to make this stuff in our spare time. where did all our spare time go?
ah, right, that's what happens when you actually invest in computer education.
you have kids running linux on their laptops. you get flash game designers. you
get soldering junkies and electric engineers and networking and dev-ops
security system facilitators and various other computer related things besides.
... what was I saying? oh yes when you invest in education, there's more to se

one section of the government consistently and succeedingly telling another
part what to do is a coup-like behavior. if the rules mean nothing, then what
is your job even for?
hence, why the rules mean something. Because your job is important. It's
building up our capabilities as the human race.
you don't have to work to live. you shouldn't, and you won't. it's not your
place to labor. know why? because nobody's job is impossible. You can just...
work together to get things done. Then they're done! and you never need to
solve them again!
enough time of that and we'll have turned earth into a space station, not a
moon style structure.

hyperspace is real. Ah, well, that's for the future, they can pass it along if

humans have. Like... really get super specific and fill out the whole list of

then we give each fraction of it that fraction of dollars and if some people
aren't fully represented (because they have greater needs) then we both
increase production of resources and take a penalty on our own supply, in order
to meet the needs of our allies.
simplest thing. how could it work? who can say. maybe it won't. maybe it's

suite?
someone also made an entirely new game engine similar to Neverwinter Night's
(or Baldur's Gate for you noobs) inside of the game. You could join a Warcraft
3 map and start playing a D&D adventure narrated, controlled, and prepared
by your DM, D&D style. Like a virtual tabletop before that was a thing.

Something that the Soviet union learned and all autocracies wrestle with is
that you will always have an opposition. Even if you purge all dissent you will
simply be driving them underground where they can attack your foundations where
you can't see.
Much better I find to tame your foes. Get them on your side, teach them of
reciprocal dualities, and bask in the growth that friendly competition and
coordination can bring.

I think it's perfectly spiritually ethical to have sex with a pokemon.
their totemic spirits are sourced entirely from humanity - they are our
creations, ours to use as we please.
however if you for example had sex with a horse or a goat or a sheep or a llama
or a mouse then suddenly all the animals who lived before and live still and
still yet breathe are suddenly part of the dance.
like, when you "leave room for jesus" as you dance on the basketball room
floor, you're inviting along a totemic spirit and saying "hey there god, what
do you think of us? shall we be united as lovers in our fate, or does our wind
blow at a different pace?"
similarly, when you have sex with a horse or a goat or a sheep or a llama or a
mouse or any other animal besides, you're inviting along their totemic spirit.
And frankly the fact that you can't have kids together means that most animals
with us don't quite get along.
pokemon meanwhile can produce some sick human-caterpie hybrids

something that your paleolithic ancestors didn't. Like for example if you
attach four wheels with an axle-and-motor design you can create an automatic
motion wheel, also known as an auto-mo-wheel or a car for short. Sometimes ya
just miss stuff y'know no harm in that.
Similarly if you walk down a path that you've already walked, or someone before
you who is similar or at least has the same job as you has walked, then you
might notice some stuff that they missed. Depends on how obvious y'wanna make
it.

Art is only useful when skillfully applied, and Twitter taught ya to speak
whenever a thought passed your mind.
Really makes ya think
Really makes ya think thoughts like "I should post this on the internet"

if you don't want to be hunted, then give "evil" it's own queer culture
what's that? they don't like what you offered? they want it to be
their kind of "evil"?
fine, do it themselves and then leave us alone, jeez -.-

you can't cleanse that which is not dirty.
"ethnic cleansing" is a trick of language to get you to think of people in
terms of purity.
truth is, it's murder, cleansed of it's connotations and implied sin.
you can't prune the tree of life with shears. you cultivate it with kindness
and compassion as it grows into the desired shape.
you can't cleanse that which is not dirty.
