<quoting=Melvian postID=2076 threadID=257> This has become my new personal favorite way to write build scripts for my C-based software projects. This assumes zsh though. I'm not sure how well it works in bash (looks like it might?).

I didn't mean to, but I ended up building a static site generator using a makefile and shell scripts.

does anyone else dislike difficulty selection screens?

by starbreaker in video games on feb 5, 2024

<quoting=orchids postID=2057 threadID=256> i hate when games make you pick the difficulty, which is why game like Dark Souls rule. I think difficulty selection screens took something away from games because it makes you wonder if you're really playing ...

best fantasy movies you've watched

by starbreaker in tv, film, and video on jan 24, 2024

Highlander (1986) is fun if you want a somewhat grounded urban fantasy.

While your great-grandparents were out partying, Connor MacLeod studied the blade.

<quoting=d-von postID=1893 threadID=59> That sounds interesting. I might give it a go. Also, novel approaches can sometimes break through the 'literary' baggage of a work, maybe getting us a little closer to the liveliness of the original. Here I'm thinking ...

Every so often I get the urge to share sites like "motherfuckingwebsite.com" and its successors with coworkers, but I refrain because the language is NSFW.

So I created my own #manifesto #website called [This Is An Actual Website[](https://actualwebsite](](https://actualwebsite) ...

You sure your wife doesn't secretly wish you dead?

I'm currently reading Emily Wilson's translation of Homer's Iliad. Also, there's a British author named Emily H. Wilson who recently dropped a historical fantasy called Inanna. My wife gave me both since we had recently read Madeline Miller's *Circe ...

I've got a heavy bag and a set of gloves in my basement for cardio/HIIT. Three minutes of dancing around the bag and punching it, and a minute to rest.

I'll level with you: there are a lot of days where I'd rather not be alive, but dying is too much of a hassle. I wasn't diagnosed as autistic until I was on my early forties, so I spent most of my life wondering what the fuck was wrong with my head.
