One more for Firefox. It's at a nice point in terms of features vs privacy. Of the big, household name browsers, Firefox is far better than Chrome or Safari in terms of privacy. It's much worse than all those niche tech-enthusiast browsers, but those all ...

I wish I had an answer, I'm in the same boat. I can do pixel art that I think looks ok, but anything more complicated than that looks like it was drawn by a 12 year old.

What I've been trying is just some daily practice with reference. But that only ...

<quoting=starbreaker postID=2214 threadID=268> Nothing wrong with your favorite chatrooms being on Discord; it's just not for me.

I wasn't even thinking of IRC. I prefer RSS for receiving updates, and if I want to send somebody feedback I'll try to email ...

I'm right there with you. I think a lot of those old movies too get credit for inventing techniques, not necessarily for executing them well. Unfortunately I'm not well versed enough in film history to give an example, but I often hear people praising ...

<quoting=the-syreth-clan postID=2092 threadID=256> I hate that my muse somehow managed to precognize that it was a danmaku just from these two lines. But ...

The real site owner could tell me could tell me @orchids' password

Wow, that was an interesting read. I've been playing ttrpgs of various sorts for over a decade, and while it's not something my group or I would ever try, it's impressive that the technology can remember the context of the scene, and each character's ...

I actually like multiple difficulty options, because I like more difficult games than the average consumer. Especially in stuff like Divinity or Baldur's Gate. On easier difficulties, you don't really need to strategize your moves at all. Just do whatever ...

<quoting=NobodyFix postID=1658 threadID=197> FYI 1000 hours, is about 41 24-hour days. Assuming you play a game for only 4 hours per day, that's a little over 166 days. I think everyone one of us has played something longer than 166 days (especially ...

I've been trying to practice digital coloring, but I haven't found a technique that feels natural to me. If anyone has digital painting tips, I'm all ears.

Hello!

I think you'll find a lot of CS majors and professional software engineers here as a lot of the discussion seems to be around website development.

I liked Inside Job, it's a real shame it was cancelled when it was. The Air Bud plotline was really ...

Those are atrocious. Being restrictive on passwords already leads to reuse, so restrictions that make it easier to crack are inexcusable.

I hate when text fields don't let you tab between them. Type - Tab - Type is much faster than Type - Move hand ...

<quoting=carbontwelve postID=1832 threadID=197> Similarly I have been a member of the DOS Games forum since 2008 but I only rarely visit, usually when I have a question. When I do, I try to have a look around at the recent threads to see if there is anything ...

My dog is sitting on my lap, and he looks very comfy.

More generally, I read an article a few months ago that scientists haven't found any indication of a maximum life-expectancy. Which means, medical technology and living standards increase, we expect ...

Principle of Limit

This refers to the concept of treating the internet has an interesting hole to peek your head through, rather than ...

Good article, with good advice. I wrote my first [blog post[](https://argusarts.com/blog/Why_I_Started_a_Blog_and_Why_You_Should_Too](](https://argusarts.com/blog/Why_I_Started_a_Blog_and_Why_You_Should_Too) ...

<quoting=Devastatia postID=1425 threadID=197>Of the few members my forum has, most don't even read any threads other than the ones they posted themselves. If there are no new replies to their threads when they check in, they leave. They're not even curious ...

Exactly. I've heard the term Personal Web used to better describe this new movement than Yesterweb. Because it's not the time period that these old websites came from that I love, it's the DIY, personal nature of the sites themselves.

I've used Agora ...

I've written similar thoughts elsewhere, but I think topic-less forums can struggle a lot to maintain consistent posts. In niche hobby forums, posting is slow, but it's often consistent despite the low total number of users. There aren't many new threads ...

<quoting=RevD postID=569 threadID=86>So I was looking through some of my old links and came across this clip from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (YouTube). It has been censored when played on TV now. </quoting ...

<quoting=Tired postID=781 threadID=24>I agree with you that the ability to "like" posts was a bad decision. I think that the inclusion of many types of reactions ruined online forums, because many users only post in this particular forum with the intention ...

Oh man, there's so many. Hollow Knight is one of my favorites. Hornet and City of Tears are standout hits.
