  • Some say a mind is like a parachute, works best when open. But I also like this from Warhammer 40k that “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.” There are a bunch of ideas that you don’t have to give credence to because you already know they’re trash. You can seek them out for edification, but please don’t think open mindedness means you have to respect every idea with consideration, that you have to listen to people just because they’re talking, etc.

    Anyway, good luck with your search. I’ve not been exposed to right wing comedy that’s funny.



  • For uplifting, I like chill games where people are nice to each other.

    Hades has you piece back together your family and has a lot of great dialog.

    Carto is a cute puzzle game involving rearranging maps where you help people on your way back home.

    Haven is a young couple trying to make it on an alien planet.

    Children of Morta is a family fighting together against an apocalypse.

    Dreamscaper is a rogue lite where you get mechanically stronger through self care as you work your way through trauma by hitting it in your dreams.

    Ni no Kuni 1 and 2 are longer jrpgs in a Studio Ghibli style world.

    Grandia is another jrpg that does a good job at capturing an adventurous spirit.


















  • A few weeks? How do you stay employed? How do you even feed yourself at that pace? Blocked on making a sandwich, I’ve got the wrong type of bread.

    It’s three lines in an editor config file to standardize the indents across any editor: https://editorconfig.org/

    In vscode, adding two extensions is all I need:, yamllint (if you don’t use linters, I don’t know how you do your job in any language) and rainbow indents. Atom had similar ones. I’m sure all IDEs are capable of these things. If you work at a place that forces you to use a specific editor and limits the way you can use it, that’s not YAML’s fault.

    At a certain point, it’s your deficiencies that make a language difficult, not the language’s. Don’t blame your hammer when you haven’t heated the iron.
