@glyph Did you quote post something?

@glyph if you ignore all the shit that happened for money and then failed, we are only growing stronger.

[otfrom@functional.cafe]

@glyph I feel it is always worth remembering that these things are contingent and genealogical rather than teleological and unified.

The revolution existed at the same time as the rest and the pieces are all there, and capital is doing its best to capture the value after the disruption

[neilk@xoxo.zone]

@glyph I have been trying to say exactly this for quite a while now and never made it concise enough. Thank you

[edelruth@mastodon.online]

@glyph

Truly! Amazing!

I especially like the very senior engineer bit. 👍🏅

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@glyph yes'nt (because it will force me to finally purchase and play this game)

[aldeka@wandering.shop]

@glyph I did not really pick up on that as a primary theme, and so would be an interested reader!

[mpirnat@mas.to]

@glyph Sorry, I was distracted by a fascist conspiracy that infected the brains of the populace, turning them into unrecognizable monsters.

But also yes, I’d enjoy your thoughts on BG3 whatever angle you take.

[glyph@mastodon.social]

@mpirnat there's also a bit of that. "fascism is a death cult" is a reading so surface that it's practically levitating

[glyph@mastodon.social]

@aldeka thanks for the encouragement, I guess I will be entering my Aesthetic Philosophy Arc in 2026

@glyph Fox News is the tadpole.

@glyph Glyph the eclairs are OBSCURED its right in the title!!!

[christi3k@toot.cat]

@glyph I had to read this three times to realize you hadn’t genericized that output and it is, in fact, ‘com.company.game’

[glyph@mastodon.social]

@christi3k I am not kidding, I opened info.plist and I like… clicked on the identifier because I had this impulse to think "oh that's the placeholder, I must need to click on it to reveal the actual value"… in a terminal, in `less`

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@glyph but the game runs, right?

[glyph@mastodon.social]

@aeva for now, yes!

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@glyph it's a christmas miracle!

[glyph@mastodon.social]

@aeva I do want to be crystal clear that this is 100% Apple's problem. The issue is not that the developer made some mistake that they should have corrected, it's that there is literally *no way* for the developer to reasonably know that this is a mistake until some smartass like yours truly complains. Apple should have, like… developer tools, or something

(The fact that there's no communication pathway for me to actually complain in a useful way is a separate problem.)

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@glyph i happened to catch a whiff of the daily player metrics during the launch week of an osx port of a big budget AAA game that a friend worked on, and let's just say the numbers weren't great

[seanlinsley@mastodon.social]

@aeva @glyph people should be promoting CrossOver more. Yes it's an extra expense but it's great to be able to play most things on Mac without a port. It sure seems like Mac ports aren't worth it unless Apple is paying for it
