Just write it out on paper, and put the whole program out on the floor. Screens will never compare, for they are but a tiny keyhole into the total program at hand. And you can pick parts of it up and carry them around - so useful! You could make an entire building out of that. [floorplan, layout, that kind of thing] downside is, of course, you don't have a computer, so you have to look up syntax on your phone. and eventually you're gonna have to type it, unless you can get a computer to read it for you. just imagining office buildings where employees can follow along with monitors on the wall that explains what they're working on and what they need to resolve then they meet up with a bunch of other humans and they hash things out turns out computers are really bad at speaking in group situations. which is why they let humans do that all on their own. [uhhh, no it's how you can tell if someone's a robot/alien/lizard/spy/secret-agent/whatever-sneaking] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4197 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── part of the reason Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion looks so good is because of the "paper colored UI background" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4198 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── what if google translate translated literally so you could get a feel for the grammar ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4199 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-mentioned │ └────────────────────────┘ in all the years since BLM, you know what I've never seen nor heard of? testimonial from the people who were kidnapped by federal police in portland.

What are you to aspire to if not the dreams of your past? and now you're here. wherever "here" is here... ... ... wait, you wanted me to talk? it's now! It's the present! ah nevermind. you were twelve years old when you first set eyes upon this game: https://youtu.be/qeNhQQXvpxQ bam, there ya go, there's yer story, he was gonna give all the imp balls to the last one at the end, to say "you were truly the strongest, here, have these precious stones of your kin" but he never got there, so they died with him, a thief. ... the end... (too final, I think - maybe we could spin it into a "part two"?) ah, I'll try I guess? dunno how. maybe he could wander the spirit world and find his traitorous body, the one that kept his soul as a home. Somewhere it'll turn up, and then he'll be ready and free from his roam... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4201 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── it's important to have copies of wikipedia floating around. if the internet goes down, wouldn't it be useful to have an encyclopedia of everything? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ |
