I considered it but I'm not sure, I think it'd just annoy me even more. I'm not used to wearing any kind of eyewear or hat or anything and I think I'd feel like it impedes my vision and it would be stressful.

Re: Things that piss you off

Back to daylight saving time, which means now I get to have the goddamn sun in my eyes every time I drive back home, with just the right amount of trees alongside the road to make it a strobetastic experience.
When I get my own place I'll make sure it's to the east of my job.

Re: Second Opinion Thread

I don't like that some people think space exploration should be a priority. Okay, it has an objective scientific value, but I can't get excited about reality TV shows set on Mars or some guy blowing millions dollars to spend a week in space when millions of people are starving or dying of diseases t...

Re: Taboo Topics (Heavily moderated)

I'd say if you are aware of a company's practices and decide to still buy their products, then yes, you do support those practices, unless you can't get that product anywhere else and it is vital for you. Let's say clothes. Supposing it's not possible for you to make your own and all of it comes fro...

Re: Second Opinion Thread

It's why if I ever end up with a smartphone I'm going for one with a sliding keyboard Yay I'm not alone. Touchscreens and phones are a huge step backwards in terms or usability as far as I'm concerned. I feel similarly about LotR. Only that I couldn't get into it at all, not even the movies. It's j...

Re: All topics unimportant enough to not create a thread for

My experience was that building a GUI first / alongside the program is way easier than afterwards. But maybe that's different with python. You're probably right. I started coding the game just to see how complex it could be (so I could pick something else before it was too late), but it was fairly ...

Re: Second Opinion Thread

That's a pretty wide statement--that's like saying 'I can't stand cartoons'. What don't you like about them? The art style. I can't talk about the writing and I guess that varies a lot between works, but I just don't like the art style in general. It might just be due to it being inescapable on the...

Re: Second Opinion Thread

For something everyone else likes that I don't: any carbonated beverage whatsoever. Who wants those fiery bubbles stabbing the inside of your mouth when you drink it? Neither I nor my sisters can drink anything carbonated or with alcohol in it. It just hurts and the taste is not worth it. I can't s...

Re: All topics unimportant enough to not create a thread for

What language are you using? Python. We have to include a third-party library of some sort (I'll probably pick one for a GUI and I'm pretty sure that's were most of the work will go). Object-orientation is mostly just keeping data grouped together, so if you're clever it's really not too difficult ...
