  • I’m not hating on this feature, but it’s frustrating to me because individual commits could already solve this. This is .ore a complaint of people’s commiting style than anything. But so many places just squash to merge, so why bother making them pretty? Either way though, it can still be useful to say a specific range of commits is something to view as a chunk.





  • I know Rick and Morty gets a lot of flak for being cringe, but the episode where Rick’s essentially car battery dies is hilarious. He has an entire universe inside of his ship’s battery and inside of it there are little devices that he gave them to use to generate power that he extracts. They stopped using them. He goes inside to diagnose, only to find that a genius inside of his world made a device that works entirely the same as his own. But it stops working. So the pair and their company go inside that battery universe to trouble shoot, only to find it happened there too!

    Why should we worry about keeping time when we can just outsource the problem?





  • They’re not similar at all though. I know it was an inspiration. It’s like calling Minecraft and Infiniminer clone derogatorily, which is what Minecraft was first described as (but not derogatorily).

    I’m not sure I’m getting my point across very well, though. Calling shooters “doom clones” is still over simplifying the comparisons, yeah, they’re still very different games, but my point is that they’re still the same genre of game. I would not consider Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress the same genre. In Minecraft you control a single character. In Dwarf Fortress you give orders to a colony. Even the Dwarf Fortress Adventurer mode is still extremely different from Minecraft. You can pick aspects about your character, you have a variety of stats, etc. It’s more of an RPG. Still a very different genre.
