Programming: The Horror Game
Programming: The Horror Game

From what i've heard of the game industry, being a gamedev is already survival horror.
-
I had a friend doing mobile gamedev, making near unheard-of money for their then city of residence, had everything going well for them... except the job was soul-crushing and draining, eventually giving them severe depression.
When I was getting my first dev job, they said I'd be really sorry about doing outsource, and I just thought that out of us two, I'd be the really happy one, even making much less than them.

Not really visual anymore innit

Knew a programmer that was near blind who only used magnifier on maximum zoom with his IDE. One of the best programmers I met, but his screen looked very much like that. Don't know how he did it.
-
Programming happens in the mind. Whats on the screen is a pale and lifeless polaroid devoid of the moving, complex soul of real code.
-
Albino? There was an albino in my IT and the poor dude would literally be like 4 inches from the screen at all times. I guess that must be pretty close to his experience, yeah.
-
Yeah, I worked with an albino like that who used a handheld magnifying glass. It actually inspired me to write a magnifier application for windows (which didn’t have one at the time, this was in 2006). That then led me to write little windows apps every day for a month, which got a lot of attention.

Yeah so you gotta buy the lumafly lantern before you go in that area
-
I never expected a Hollow Knight reference here

-
TFW when all of your bugs are like cockroaches that run away from the light but hide in the dark where you can’t see them.
-
This is a blessing. You won't have to look at the spaghetti the last dev left behind.
-
It should play a jump scare sound when you get an exception
-
With a good eye-tracker and some tweaking, this might be usable...
-
...and OLED screens the price of LEDs...
-
-
I use an LCD monitor so there is no difference in power consumption. I preferred the old view, how do I go back?
-
Alt + F4
-
Just have to delete the system32 directory. That gets rid of the changed settings the fastest.

-
That's a $10.99/month subscription

-
This should be considered a war crime

laughs in IntelliJ multi cursor mode
-
What…. Why..?!
Is it for double speed ?
-
If you have multiple similar lines, you can perform the same editing on them all at once.
-
It does get its uses. Mostly editing similar lines, multiple methods at the same time, etc. Makes you look like a ninja too
-
-
What's the joke? VSCode has multi cursor.
-
With multiple cursors, we can see more of the dungeon, uh, I mean code.

The animation that goes with this is pretty slick: https://x.com/Phantom_TheGame/status/1748457358521426375?s=20
-
Coincidentally, there are writing (as in fiction, not code) apps just like this.
-
The real horror is when you discover the monster behind all those errors haunting your sleepless nights... Was you all long
-
Oh hey, it's modern
ed!
-
Makes a change from Visual Studio turning white because it has hung yet again.
-
You have been eaten by a grue
-
Reminds me of when CodeBullet turned Pacman into a first person horror game
-
Anti-peeking filter is looking dope! Nobody will be able to look at my screen anymore, me included!
-
Does anyone remember when something like this actually happened? Maybe it's the Mandela effect but U sweat at one stage a whole heap of sites were using black/dark mode to save the planet
-
I use it to save my eyeballs
-
-
Uh oh, brace yourself for a bunch of whataboutism from blatantly selfish computer nerds. /s

Hey man, I work on a Microsoft full stack — VS corrupts files or locks up regularly 🤷That’s before we touch Windows on a server box
