Perforce is great for dealing with media files, artists can actually use it without producing 500 variants of -new-old-2022-final-dontuse-revised-1.1-2023 filenames (I AM NOT JOKING.), and it doesn't slow down with a lot of media like git does (which has to check out the entire history). Since usually only one artist touches a file at a time, locking doesn't slow them down.

Subversion's kind of the same for devs. There's a single source of truth, merging and branching is a lot easier, but it's less possessive about files. You can do media in it, better than git, but not as nicely as p4. I have seen the -new-old filenames end up in svn, but if you delete a file and commit, it goes away.

You'd think, but there's a lot of Pink Pants stans downthread.

"My project" doesn't exist in any team. It's everyone's project. A manager needs to have a long conversation with Pink Pants.

If you build your project at anything but highest error level, clang -Wall etc., you're letting errors in, relying at best on coincidence to work the way you think it does.

Commit it and don't revert it!

I get more than half the spaces, all the negative ones, but can't quite make a bingo without the center, which is the kind of pro-giving a shit about git nonsense I'd never utter.

I miss subversion and perforce.

Well now I just want to watch young people try to beat the unbeatable games of my yout'.

Prince of Persia, Mega Man X, Ghosts & Goblins, Ecco the Dolphin (my favorite, but I screamed so much at Ecco dying one pixel away from air). Zork without a walkthru. Solve all the puzzles yourself or by talking to friends also playing it blind.

And you paid $60 ($200 in today's bullshit money) for this, you can't get another for 3 months.

Change is bad. We fear change.

Actual soap, Lever 2000 boring odor, a bar lasts quite a while even with hard scrubbing. Shower gel is weird and wasteful, you have water right there in the shower.

I have some deodorant thing but it's unscented, just for the antiperspirant.

Well, sure. You should use lynx.

(I actually do quite a bit, mostly to read gopherholes but some web sites are just easier.)

There's a movie with a sure-fire method, Stephen King's Cat's Eye. Just find someone willing to "help you" like Quitters Inc.

I still use my iPod classic for jogging, and I have an iPod touch as backup. My watch can do emergency calls so I don't need or want a phone with me.

The low-gravity planets/moons we have access to have rather harsh radiation environments, too, so neither. Dig into the ground. You would put a bunker or dome up on the surface for observations and airlocks, but it'd be foolish to live that exposed on a surface without a deep well of atmosphere & Van Allen belts.
