Maybe we have a different view on what pride means, but I see no reason to be ashamed of being straight, the same I see no reason to be ashamed of being white, the same I see no reason to be ashamed of being gay, the same I see no reason to be ashamed of being black. LGBT+ inclusion is not the same as straight exclusion. Gay pride, from what I understand, at its core is about being proud of yourself and not having to hide your ethnicity. That goes both ways, and I sure as hell would feel like I’m being shamed for being straight in this game. Not a great message is it?
Like I’m genuinely trying to understand here. How is shaming straights helping gay pride?
I feel this is a bit disingenuous. The original Steam forum post said:
when straight comin out.
Calling that even a complaint is beyond me, and mocking the poster seems unnecessary. I don’t understand the intention behind this new title. As purely a joke against that forum post, I guess, but are they trying to mock straight sexuality?
If I can express my sexuality if I’m gay, why refuse that same ability if I’m not? Maybe I’m interpreting too much into it, but I don’t find it funny. I like it when people can be proudly and openly gay/trans/bi, but I don’t see why I can’t also be proudly straight. Or in other words, this game now gives me the message “if you are not LGBT, it’s not for you” which I guess is fine if that’s what they want.
High School without other people sounds absolutely awful.

Also, calling out the warning signs, my bar for a native platform experience is that the app feels and acts like a purpose-built native app. I don’t think this bar is unreasonable. For example, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that Alacritty is kind of not native because new windows create new processes. Or that Kitty is kind of not native because tabs use a non-native widget. And so on (there are many more examples for each).
So nothing wrong with Kitty on MacOS e.g., but the “feel” is not native. Personally don’t care too much about that, but the author seems to do.
I’ll never get over how cool animated code folding looked when I first saw it. I love my terminal but man that’s sexy. Reminds me of some of the original demos of Dion. I feel there is definitely room to reinvent how we view and edit code.
Absolutely nothing comes close to the thinness and lightness, combined with battery and performance of my M2 Air. And that’s not to mention that Apple’s touchpads are still so far ahead of everyone else that I’d like to laugh about it, but it’s too embarrassing for that. It’s not like I’m not aware of the linux/windows alternatives, it’s that there simply are no alternatives…I’d rather deal with Apple’s shit software instead of everyone else’s subpar hardware, because software is changeable.
Also, since the Asahi team actually knows what they’re doing, it turns out that their linux support on Apple Silicon is often better in a lot of ways than most windows-centric laptops. They take a long time to support certain hardware capabilities, but once they do you can be sure that it works flawlessly. Can’t say the same about any other laptop I owned before (although Framework, System 76 and Tuxedo laptops are probably good in that regard).
Also, while the keyboard on my Dell XPS broke a whopping 5 times in the last few years, the Macbook Air has yet to show any signs of wear. The reason I got a Macbook is because I need to get work done and need a reliable machine for that. And what can I say, my god has it ever been reliable.
MuseScore had a big UI rework with MuseScore 4, with an excellent video about the behind the scenes by Tentacruel (https://youtu.be/XGo4PJd1lng).
Although not sure if it caught people off guard as I’m not a user of it.
May not be the most popular choice, but I absolutely love Sublime Merge. Only issue I have is that it doesn’t support workspaces. But I love how it doesn’t abstract git away. Most actions in the UI are just called like the underlying git command, there are no non-git things like a “sync”. Plus you can always click on the top to see which commands exactly were executed and with what output. And it’s Sublime-typical wicked fast.
