@aesthr It's no different than tasking an intern or junior.

@th3rdsergeevich @ZySoua also, since there's only one background layer on the NES, any effects where different parts of the level scroll at different speeds are done "manually"

if these are horizontal layers that don't overlap (like, say, a background where there's mountains far away, then some hills closer by, and also you're on a train) it is relatively simple, the NES is just told to change the scroll position right before a specific line is about to be drawn (this is also how the floors in the aforementioned boss fights are drawn)

for vertical things (like in megaman 2's opening, where there's a building in the foreground and a cityscape in the background, and they move at different speeds) the building was specifically drawn in a rather simple way so that the only thing that needed to be moved around are the windows, which are sprites, and the ceiling only appears once the cityscape's fully gone, so there is still only one background layer

Mir herausnehmen das erste Mal seit Mai an meinem freien Tag auch wirklich frei zu haben. Trotzdem ein schlechtes Gewissen haben.

This is exactly why I can't watch Raiders of the Lost Ark. In several scenes there is a swastika in close proximity to the protagonist, Indiana Johnson, whom I quite like. It's such a mixed message. Why is the director saying he is a nazi but he also punches nazis. So confusing.

Please don't scroll past. This is important.

I am being pressured by FreeBSD's reddit moderation team to censor the Omarchy #content_review or to remove it completely. They have began a harrasment campaign with the goal of removing me from this world.

the review: https://merveilles.town/@prahou/117501303459299869

The issue at hand is that a picture of a partial swastika appears in close proximity to the word FreeBSD - if you've seen a newspaper before, you might understand the principle of two separate unrelated articles appearing next to each other. You might also understand that I am reporting on common associations with the Topic of the review. These are not my inventions, and I am not calling anyone anything. I am reporting on the news. Nevertheless, as much as I am a journalist, I am an artistè, and if my audience sees in my work something I didn't put there, I am not going to take that experience away from them. This probably says more about them than it does about me.

While I am a man of principle, there is one thing I like more - money.

I will delete it for $2,000. For $5,000 I will apologize. For $10,000 I will use daemonarchy exclusively for 6 months on all my computers. For $25,000 I will kill a small animal of your choice. For $75,000 I will not post anything for a month.

To everyone who likes my work, this message is for you (from said freebsd moderator) [cw ableist slur]: https://beige.party/@fuzzy/117510032933612034

To everyone else who feels personally attacked by my art: send money, you can end this here and now.

Thank you for your attention.

ps: i did not post anything on reddit, i just know the same person who has been cyberbullying me on the fediverse is a moderator of the freebsd subreddit

pls boost

Reminds me I must dig out my long-neglected FED-2.

I still don’t understand why opentelemetry is so often implemented as three entirely separate packages

The only time I ever think about this is when I update one of them and then get errors because actually I need to update all of them

I suspect this is particularly annoying in Elixir because it’s actually Erlang packages wrapped in Elixir but still— how would I ever benefit from them being 3 separate packages with 3 separate versions?
