themikesanto··on Urbit Takeoff Is Here
Urbit is digital feudalism masquerading as a privacy solution. The original founder is a neoreactionary authoriarian, and the system is designed with his ideal vision of the future in mind.

themikesanto··on Wine bricks saved the U.S. wine industry during Prohibition (2015)
Using nitrous to make the whipped cream is instantaneous and doesn't wear your arms out.

Most coffee shops use these as well to make whipped cream for drinks.

themikesanto··on MAME Turns 25
Unless there is some language in the purchase agreement/terms of service that specifically prohibits extracting the ROM, you are in the clear. I highly doubt such language exists.

But who cares? You purchased the software, you can do whatever you want with it, and going this route is already going above and beyond what most normal people do, which is pirating the ROMs.

Never heard of people doing this.

It's cinema.
themikesanto··on Tabletop Simulator
I find TTS to be pretty intuitive, with a bit of a learning curve. It provides ways to quickly roll dice, shuffle/deal cards, etc, but beyond that it's mostly just a 3D space with a table for you to play board games in. Grab a rule book, set up the pieces, and get to playing.

If you want the software to set up the game for you and automate some of the aspects of playing it, yes, that requires someone to have taken the time to script out those interactions.

Some scripted games on the workshop are really impressive. Munchkin and Gloomhaven come to mind as games that have really great user made scripted interactions. The official DLC is pretty quality as well, such as Wingspan or Viticulture.

themikesanto··on Ask HN: How are you holding up?
I'm doing wonderful. There's no way I'm ever going back to the office. My work feels more consistent and enjoyable. I'm exercising and being active more than I ever have in my life.

Life feels richer and less complicated.

themikesanto··on The Cult of Hideo Kojima
Do you have a source for the story about the Castlevania director? That sounds wild, and I haven't been able to find anything about it.

themikesanto··on The Lost Art of Lacing Cable (2018)

themikesanto··on US mid-terms: Hackers expose 'staggering' voter machine flaws
At best, voter ID is a solution to a problem that has not been shown to exist. At worst, it is a tool to limit the number of people who are able to vote on election day. It's really as simple as that.
