Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • Any car tire.

    For road bicycles 7 bar is just “normal”, 8 and above isn’t unheard of.

    A guy once asked if I was crazy when I was pressurizing my hybrid bike to 6 bar, and I just pointed to the sidewall where the rating said 4.5-6.5 bar. The range is wide because the pressure you should use varies depending on what you weigh, and how you want to balance rolling resistance vs comfort.

    And even then the safety margin on bike tires is more than double the max rating, so it’s perfectly safe to go a full bar over if you want.




  • I would absolutely use it. In fact creating and editing services would be the primary selling point IMO. It doesn’t need to be much “easier” than doing it in the terminal or file explorer, to me the primary benefit would just be the ease of use of creating, loading, and starting a new service all in one place.

    I think a generic template would be great.

    You could turn the whole thing into a giant GUI settings screen, allowing navigation to an exectuable, after which you could provide some of the most typical options as sliders, number fields, switches, or whatever is suitable. But that would be a large amount of work, and I’m not sure it would simplify things much.

    The starting point should just be a text field, but with a link to the service file docs for help/reference.

    Is it really like that for you? Does the same thing happen with books, movies, TV? Should they have an “option”?

    I have absolutely no trouble immersing myself into Aloy, Lara Croft, Jesse (Control), Red (Transistor), Bayonetta, Faith (Mirror’s Edge), and others.

    Like, the character not being the same gender as me, doesn’t even register as an obstacle for inhabiting them. I’m able to mentally become them in literally the exact same way I do any other protagonist.

    Since, it’s not like I need to be the same as someone in order to see the world through their perspective.

    The opposite, the less they are like me, the greater the chance I’ll get to experience something from outside my own lived experience. And I like that.

    I’m with women in that they should have representation in games (and stories in general), but even just for myself I’m cheering this particular progression on for the sheer variety it brings.








  • Haven’t seen that.

    You can also push a door open with a foot as you take a step forward.

    It’s trickier than using an elbow, as it involves the balancing act of putting your weight on the door, which will give way, before allowing your foot to actually land. Do it wrong or with a door that’s much lighter than you thought, and you fall over as you deliberately shift your weight off the one foot you’re still standing on :D

    I initially started doing it to push open doors while holding stuff with my hands, but now I kinda just walk into doors and open them with a foot as I do.
