  • Maybe their necklaces and earrings don’t adhere to OSHA regulations. I don’t know. Everyone has to use their own judgement when posting and I think it’s better to mark NSFW when in doubt, but there seems to be at least two different ways people use NSFW feature so sometimes the choice of using an NSFW tag might not make sense.



  • We didn’t really have arcade in our town but there were some coin-operated games around. I think it wasn’t very long period of time they had Polybius but I remember playing it occasionally during that time. I was quite young so I didn’t fully understand the gameplay and can’t really recall any elements of it anymore. Only thing I do remember is I used to have vivid dreams about it when I hadn’t played it for a while. That sort of made me interested to play it again every once in a while. Though I must have been terrible at that game so I don’t know why I even tried it that many times.

    I didn’t really thought about it when they had changed the machine to different one. I would rather play the Street Fighter II or whatever they had put there instead because it was much easier game to understand. There have been occasional dreams I’ve had much later in my life about this game but other than that I don’t really think about it. Sometimes after having that kind of vivid dream I do think for a while that it would be nice to give it a try again but I don’t know if they have the game anywhere or if it’s possible to emulate via MAME.



  • My hands aren’t particularly small either and I hate big phones. I like to use my phone with one hand most of the time so I need a small phone to hold it comfortably and to reach around the touch screen.

    I’ve noticed even few millimeters of difference in width has great impact on how comfortable the phone is to use. Gesture navigation also helps and I think it was created out of necessity for bigger phones.



  • A ‘pager’ is a utility that takes a markup text (say, Roff) and displays that text, formatted, in the terminal. The first pager was nroff(1) for the aforementioned Roff, and you may still find nroff(1) on UNIX-based systems.

    Wouldn’t it be less or more (or most) that is the pager part and roff being the part that does formatting for terminal. As far as I understand roff does the runoff of the text file. It formats the text properly and inserts all the necessary escape codes for terminal. Then that can be piped to pager which shows the text page by page.

    Looks like an interesting project. Didn’t try it but looked into the source code and I think there was not really any keybindings similar to less. I suggest adding at least g, G, C-f and C-b.

    But would it be possible for this project to utilize external pager? That would make the development easier.





  • I love simple controls or an elegant way to control simply. For example using one thumb to control two buttons simultaneously or the Super Mario Run control scheme where you only press on the touch screen, doesn’t matter where, and that’s it.

    I hate it when in co-op game the other player’s actions can screw up the game e.g. moving the screen too far so the other player dies.
