lol, as if the internet would survive long enough to be studied archeologically. most digital media lasts 10 years, 20 tops. future archeologists will get whatever was worth laser-etching into a sapphire disc and they’ll just have to live with that.

Technically there is a successor to Vib-Ribbon but it’s iPhone only if I recall? “Russian Dancing Men”.

Retro/Grade is a rhythm/shooter mashup where you travel backwards through time and un-fire a bunch of lasers to un-kill a bunch of ships. It was designed for a guitar hero controller if I recall? I found the visuals nauseating and the music lackluster but that premise is gold and deserves another chance.

Also PLEASE play the music backwards??? It’s a game about going back in time, c’monnnnn.

Alley Cat actually got a second chance! Look up “Alley Cat: ReMeow”

I was that kid. Get them a copy of Rhythm Heaven if you can find one, or one of its spiritual successors like Rhythm Doctor.

Especially slightly angled walls!

I had been playing Minecraft back in the Technic modding era, lots of item tubes and machine blocks, and I remember looking at my actual real life washing machine and thinking “I bet I could use a wooden pipe to extract that into the dryer”

It’s a digital image of a painting!

(Six, if you fold the pages back.)

I don’t usually “pin to top” or “pin to bottom” but I often have pseudo-folders that use a similar approach, for instance

• Healthcare
• Mail
• Taxes 2020
• Taxes 2021
• (etc)
• Work 2020 (Name of job)
• Work 2021 (Name of job)
• (etc)

Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.

Learning good technique is hard and boring. Solve a problem the wrong way first, and you’ll find out what technique improvements are worthwhile.

I have adhd and my idle stim is shifting my weight from one foot to the other. I’m like a living metronome. Drives people crazy.

I would much rather learn a new word than slog through a glib deluge.

I use ! to sort to top, and Ω to sort to bottom. So far haven’t had any compatibility problems.

For the curious: the use case for this is when you want to reduce nesting but also want a sort of “soft hierarchy” within a folder. I could separate my music folder into albums and playlists, but then I’d have a mostly empty folder, so instead I put both in the same directory and use prefix naming to sort them.

if the states aren’t obvious, use an enum with two values, and name them both. Thats what enums are for.

ah, yeah, if you have an android game without built-in controller support then you’re out of luck right now, sorry.

Retroarch and Steam Link both have android apps and support controller mapping, but I don’t know of any OS-level tools.

Tra-la-la!

But how many digits of the result do you use?

That’s basically my reasoning, yeah. Specifically, in floating point notation; if you get rid of all the mantissa bits, you’d be left with 1 * 2^0. I suppose it could be 0 * 2^0, but a leading 1 is implied, since virtually all numbers are nonzero.

Answering my own question: I work in web development and my usual value for pi is the standard JavaScript Math.PI. JavaScript uses 64-bit floats, which are accurate to about 15 decimal places. But that’s how many digits the computer uses. For practical math, I don’t think I’ve ever needed more than 2 digits of accuracy in an equation involving pi.
