Do you refer to NPCs in a video game as "it"?

Art is subjective, after all.

What incentive does HF have here?
andruc··on Punk, or why I don't stream anymore
I don't make much distinction between "knows" and "has the knowledge" when it comes to LLMs.

andruc··on I built a Game Boy emulator in F#
My guess is you're thinking of no$gmb, a very early Game Boy emulator:

I've got fond memories of using this to get a preview of Pokemon Gold before it was released in NA!

andruc··on Show HN: A CSS-Only Terrain Generator
Funny, my mind went to OpenTTD
andruc··on Discovery Coding
Casey Muratori talks about this in his Handmade Hero videos. I believe he calls it exploration-based programming.
andruc··on Photohaul: Effortless photo management
Really wish binaries were available so it could truly be effortless.

Any comparisons on performance?

#real-todolist has an autofocus element and I'm using Firefox
andruc··on VanillaJSX.com
It's very strange that when I land on the page for the very first time, I land halfway down the page and I'm staring at a block of random code.

Not what you'd expect to see.

andruc··on Why SQLite Uses Bytecode
Faster to interpret than what?
andruc··on The Lost Universe: NASA's Tabletop Role-Playing Game Adventure
Center. Verb. to direct one's attention on something.
andruc··on Playstation is erasing seasons of Discovery shows from customer libraries
It's not obvious to me what one has to do with the other here.
andruc··on Putting the "J" in the RPG, Part 1: Dorakue
You should try the Brave New World mod for FF6, if you ever feel like revisiting it. Vast QoL improvements, among many other welcome and interesting changes.
andruc··on Global CO2 Levels
This wouldn't do anything to reduce ocean acidification from CO2 absorption though, would it?
andruc··on Global CO2 Levels
I used to following a twitter account that would post the average CO2 level each day, and I distinctly remember the few weeks where I started to see a few 400s amongst the high 300s, and then, finally, never saw 300s again.
andruc··on Proof you can do hard things
Everyone commenting so far seems to be missing the forest for the trees. Doing hard things, and the proof that comes with it, is empowering.
andruc··on US Department of Energy: Fusion Ignition Achieved
If you've done the math to determine the threshold, you may as well show it already
andruc··on Activision Blizzard Is Trying to Stop a Union Vote at Its Albany Office
Look to companies that never go public

For the aging ones that remember the good ol' flash days, the Punk-o-Matic is still online:

andruc··on How to Get into Tabletop RPGs
I ran a special session of Dread for Halloween a few years ago. We typically play D&D but for the season, I wanted to mix it up. The thing is, I set the Dread game in the same setting as our D&D game, and the players got to experience what it was like to NOT be the big damn heroes for once, instead getting to run for their lives.

Would recommend!

andruc··on Tesla Superchargers Are Deemed Illegal in Germany
At least in Canada you do not need the app to charge. The payment method is tied to the vehicle. Is it required in Germany?
andruc··on AirPods Suck in Video Conferences
Correct me if I'm wrong, but OP is complaining (IMO rightfully) about the quality of Airpod microphones, not the quality of incoming audio while using Airpods.
andruc··on Ask HN: Is Twitter unbearable for anyone now?
I've yet to find a good solution for viewing lists while also keeping threads ordered correctly, and also hiding retweets.

Showing RTs in a list seems (to me) to defeat the purpose of a list in the first place.

andruc··on Playstation store will remove customer’s purchased movies
So would being able to download a file. But Sony doesn't want that. Tech is not the problem here.
andruc··on Unpaid social media moderators perform labor worth at least $3.4M/year on Reddit
I do not see what your conclusion has to do with your premise.

Subreddits have topics and rules. Moderators curate posts to suit those topics and rules. This has value.

andruc··on Writing one sentence per line
I wouldn't recommend consuming art like we do documentation.
