This seems to kind of work on mobile, except the right half of the game board is cut off, making it unfinishable despite playable.

Everything else works, but like 3-4 columns of tiles missing on the right and a purple book at the bottom which is visible in the screenshot.

So seems like just some fix needed to avoid that cut-off in the right an it should work properly on mobile.

I tried both chrome and firefox on android, with and without desktop mode, with and without horizontal orientation. Always exactly same cutoff problem. I have no idea what creates this problem so consistently in 2 different browsers in desktop mode.

If it worked on mobile, it would eat my day alive. For such a fantastically designed game, I’m shocked at this misstep. It’d popularity would explode with a working mobile version.

It's pretty similar:

- a grid of hidden tiles containing monsters

- that you fight by clicking on

- where you balance exploration and combat

- using your HP and level-ups as resources

I'd say this game was directly inspired by Desktop Dungeons (which isn't a bad thing!)

I’d say DemonCrawl is a more likely inspiration since it is also a minesweeper variant.

The Death of Google Reader was a canon event and only recently do we seem to be moving back towards the kind of internet that can support these kind of blogs instead of the Big Centralized Platforms.

Granted it could support it all along but, for a time, people wanted to see what the fuss was all about at the Big Platforms. I'm glad that bloggers kept blogging and that talented writers, old and new, are still going at what I consider my favorite part of the internet since it's modern inception in the 90s.

Reading will always be my performed form of content despite more and more people moving to YouTube for better exposure and money but for all you who feel the need to write: KEEP IT UP!

Not since the update (steam release).

I tried it years ago - I think even before Prison Architect and Rimworld (another great game, that spoils you for other games mechanicswise) - but could not get into it, because I felt very "disoriented". And a feel of disorientation is difficult for me to work through in games.

I think you might be able to get through it now, specially the steam version, as the UI is much closer to RimWorld than the ASCII version was.

It's just the fulfiling part of the job, without any of the bullshit. It may not be "creative" or "exciting", but it's satisfying.

Euro Truck Simulator was the game that this finally click for me. I think under all different game mechanics -- games like OpenTTD, Factorio, RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress, Farming Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator, Minecraft, Civilization etc -- all scratch the same itch of being able to set uour own goals and work towards them through an evolving but intuitive gameplay loop.

Why is notion the tool all the cool kids seems to like for this stuff? (Serious question)
mrcsno · 3 years ago
Just a guess, but I assume it's because of attractive UI/UX.

Notion templates, and general interface, guides people into presenting information in a fashion that doesn't follow the utilitarian manner and standard practices of business centric software like Microsoft Office.

Also, there's been a trend to "back to the basics" in information dissemination lately. Newsletters and static site generators have been making a comeback. In design, boutique firm architects I've spoken to have told me they've been moving away from fancy auto CAD renditions of projects to hand made watercolors and sketches. This unique approach has allowed them to bag contracts from under larger firms. In a way it mirrors the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century as a reaction to industrialization.

It seems to know how to improve through trial and error, so I wonder if, once being given the right tools and information, it could be used for software and hardware reverse engineering.

Forgive me if I am wrong but I was under the impression that what you described is how machine learning basically operates: reporting and trial and error to achieve better and more efficient results.

At least when analyzing actions. Is that not the case?

I have 7-8000 on one machine, multiple thousands on at least two others. Session Buddy + either Auto Tab Discard or The Marvellous Suspender means I don't lose any even in crashes and it doesn't use too much RAM.
mrcsno · 3 years ago
I thought Suspender had been taken down due to some change upstream that introduced trackers or something else shady. Great to see it got forked. I’ve been using Auto Tab Discard but it doesn’t feel as effective on diminishing RAM usage.

Has that been your experience as well?

> Which still disagrees with every other agency.

But that is a lie. From the article:

“The Energy Department now joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation in saying the virus likely spread via a mishap at a Chinese laboratory.”

mrcsno · 3 years ago
Calling it a lie is a bit uncharitable. It’s gone from “disagrees with every other agency” to “disagrees with the majority of agencies.” I wouldn’t say that dramatically changes the point.
