@cidoku I used to think this as well but I kinda got used to the streamers. Some of my favourites are still the ones doing videos though.
@cidoku they're idols, they sell the illusion of embodying some idealized character and there's people who will completely buy into that. Going so far as to protect the organization backing those idols is because it makes you feel part of a group of sorts. It's basically escapism on one hand, and tribalism on the other.
@cidoku I could do without the memes and everything hailing from the clout chasing retards that twitter keeps pandering to but the art and most of what I post about on there are things that matter to me
The other day I also saw a series of tweets about how woke culture is 100% compatible with corporations advancing their own self-interest. Having a diverse workforce and a global pool to pull talent from means everyone is easily replaceable and they don't have to spend money developing local talent, and being able to make everybody forget all the sketchy shit they do by just telling their PR and HR departments to adopt part of the woke vocabulary keeps both their workers and the vocal masses happy and only grows their influence.
Fuck americans and their puritan beliefs and how they're enforcing them on the rest of the world.
You have to wonder just how much of the woke culture is just the cultural dregs of puritanism bubbling back up.

@cidoku the project kinda continued and it's called RAY now, I got their first album and it's pretty good
I started Yakuza Kiwami and it looks just as good as people say. Great atmosphere and cool story so far.
I think the unsurmountable problem of switching over from twitter is the lack of artists. Half of why I like twitter is that I get to share cute anime girls with all my friends and this is something that needs to be solved if people are to leave the corporate nightmare that is centralized social media.
@cidoku I thought yeah timezones but then I remembered yours is further away from friday than mine, lol
@cidoku oh damn I've been meaning to buy your stuff on bandcamp friday for a while but I always forget when that is
I got it into my head to write a tweetdeck clone that works with the fediverse and other things that is actually good and I gotta stop thinking about it.
I wanna find some more people to follow but it's late and I think I've already exhausted all my social energy for today. Maybe some other time.
@foldr yeah a lot of FP advice isn't really suited for gamedev for a lot of reasons, but still if I'm using F# I can both do everything you can do in C# and also use sum types and pattern matching which are always a big win, imo.
And if you're in academia I guess OCaml is not that bad of a choice for whatever it is you're doing?

I can’t do OOP when I want/need.
Yeah i hear you. I made a game in F# for a jam last week and it’s a horrible mess of mutable variables and arrays and dictionaries because that was much faster to iterate on.
And OCaml is a hard sell, it’s a very niche language and the library ecosystem is not very big so you’ll probably end up having to write some stuff on your own, and depending on the conditions of the job it’s gonna be hard to find somebody else to maintain all that code. I just make do with typescript at my day job, honestly it’s not too bad. Sometimes I even get to write fun monstrosities like type-level parsers for url paths.
