  • I finished Laika : Aged through blood. An indie metroidvania / 2d bike shooter / bullet time.

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/1796220/Laika_Aged_Through_Blood/

    It’s the story of a mother in a post-apocalyptic environment having to care for her daughter and village while doing the war outside.

    Everything, art, music, is a masterpiece. The music is just extremely good.

    Outside of special zones, there are 20 you have to find, and it cycles between them. All 20 are voiced, with words or humming.

    The story is good, and is extremely anti-war.

    The gameplay feels amazing. It can be hard at first, but I quickly learned how to control the bike and and to do backflips and frontflips at the right time to reload guns and the pary.

    The main character laika is one-shot, but the game isn’t very punishing. The respawn points aren’t too far away from each other, and they are optional. When you die, you loose a pouch with the currency, and can get it back.

    There are some little issues with the game tho. The ending seems to be a bit rushed. The ending boss isn’t that difficult, and there were some cuts it seems.

    But overall these little issues aren’t that bad, and the game is still amazing for an indie.






  • Sending the entire email content to their cloud isn’t that good.

    However an advantage to doing so is to be able to use push notifications on the app without having to poll continuously the email address from the device. Which in return reduces the battery usage compared to constant polling.

    However, they could have done something like spark mail, only get the email subject, sender and a little bit of the content to put into the noficiation then delete after the push notificdation has been sent.










  • Lol. Generating a mail with gpt 3 is a mistake lol.

    This is what the generated email got me :

    Elle remet en question notre liberté individuelle en limitant notre droit d’avoir des animaux de compagnie sans restrictions excessives

    Translating to : It challenges our individual freedom by limiting our right to have pets without undue restrictions

    entraîner des conséquences économiques néfastes pour les éleveurs et les commerçants spécialisés dans le domaine des animaux domestiques.

    lead to harmful economic consequences for breeders and traders specializing in the field of domestic animals.

    Lol wtf is this generated out of context.






  • What is college? Is it employed for middle school or high school? If so then no.

    And if someone who didn’t get such eduction thinks they have the tool to distinguish between false and true, they are delusional. The more verified knowledge someone has, the more that person develops their ability to manage information and find if it’s bad or good. Tho that doesn’t mean that everyone has equal training or capacity in doing so.

    If college is employed as a synonym of university, then kinda yes? Tho for myself I wasn’t really trained into getting the right sources. However the knowledge gained from the years of eduction allowed me to somehow manage a bit the informations.

    However, I don’t think I would have been able to really avoid bad information without getting the university training, where I also learned sources and reputable sources.

    Even now it can be sometimes hard to get a good source to check. And often for random info I’ll forget on the Web I don’t even bother.


  • Using emoji is a bad idea.

    Here is why (without a password manager which removes the hard, but not the incompatible) :

    • some emojis can be inexistent on other devices. So you may not be able to log in on another device.
    • An emoji is hard to remember if you need to type them with an alt code, while also being easy to crack.
    • For a computer, and emoji is nothing else than a character. So hard to type, easy to crack.
    • More likely you use an emoji someone else used. So it could maybe be easier to crack.
