  • It’s an extremely bizarre suggestion given your request. I do want to defend the game (though not the suggestion) a little though.

    It initially presents as you say, but offers you opportunities to fight back in your capacity as border control. Letting in the right people can help the resistance and incite a coup, or enable you and your families escape from the country. It isn’t just Be A Good Tankie Simulator 2013, though you can play it that way too.



  • For those of you who’ve never experienced the joy of PowerBuilder, this could often happen in their IDE due to debug mode actually altering the state of some variables.

    More specifically, if you watched a variable or property then it would be initialised to a default value by the debugger if it didn’t already exist, so any errors that were happening due to null values/references would just magically stop.

    Another fun one that made debugging difficult, “local” scoping is shared between multiple instances of the same event. So if you had, say, a mouse move event that fired ten times as the cursor transited a row and in that event you set something like integer li_current_x = xpos the most recent assignment would quash the value of li_current_x in every instance of that event that was currently executing.




  • In the moment at the table, arguably RoC, but that’s still not necessarily going to convey well to anyone who wasn’t there.

    Also, assuming OP’s previous submission is the “player shenanigans” which prompted this then it’s my opinion that it wasn’t cool at the table, either.


  • A pretty large proportion of “player shenanigans” stories amount to “we ignored the rules and allowed something ridiculous to happen”. This is fine if that’s what your group wants to do, but can’t really be expected to be relatable to the community at large.

    It’s similar to the stories about level 5 groups who miraculously defeat an ancient red dragon or whatever. It invariably only happens because of some utterly absurd homebrew/ruling, or the GM just played the dragon as an idiot.



  • A docstring is a comment that is used to annotate types/methods/classes/whatever and can be parsed by the IDE and used to provide various hints/assistance when writing code. Tooltips, parameter type suggestions, intellisense, etc. for things that aren’t native parts of the language all usually come from or can be supplemented by docstrings.

    The specific format of a docstring varies by language, but many of them prefix meaningful tokens with an @, like @type or @param.

    However, if your project is using GitHub it’s also quite common to mention users in comments by prefixing their username with an @, so several vscode GitHub extensions will make any “@{real username}” in a comment into a link to that user, which will show a small user tooltip when hovered.

    Edit: I appear to have conflated docstrings and docblocks, but then so has the initial post. I guess at some point “docstring” has just taken over to colloquially refer to all of it.

    You are a worm through time.

    The thunder song distorts you.

    Happiness comes.

    White pearls, but yellow and red in the eye.

    Through a mirror, inverted is made right.

    Leave your insides by the door.

    Push the fingers through the surface into the wet.

    You’ve always been the new you.

    You don’t want this to be true.



  • Yeah, there are different bluetooth audio profiles, one for high quality audio intended for media consumption, and one for bi-directional audio intended for telephony (and some others, but these are the relevant ones here). The “gotcha” is that in general, any attempt to consume the mic feed from a bluetooth headset will switch it to the telephony mode, so if you have them paired to a PC and an application is listening to the mic for any purpose you get stuck with much lower quality 64kbps PCM audio.
