Eclipse che was, afaict, the first to really make major progress in this space.

Vscode and codespaces basically stole the whole thing… But then they actually provided it in a way that was easy to use.

So while I don’t like the theft, I think that the result is great, and I don’t like that OP lists it as something nobody wants.

Why are you including codespaces in there??? That’s a feature I wish more open-source projects made use of. Pristine working dev environments, on demand? Yes please

Based on what does it grate?
Are there any other native English dialects that grate, or just this one?

What if I told you that the provenance of “aks” is at least as solid as “ask”?

I feel like people forget that words can have multiple definitions. You can have a technical definition and a popular definition

Ngl “ejaculating progenitor” kinda slaps, although not really kid friendly lol

I did, and my child does. We have learned that we’re both autistic. Maybe something to look into lol

I used their first names until I was 18.
When I went to college, nobody knew who I was talking about when I said their names, and it got me in the habit of saying “mom” and “dad”, and it stuck.

My child, who is young, calls my wife and I by a rotating set of terms, like mom/dad, mommy/daddy, and our actual names. Same with the grandparents. There is no intention behind it, it’s just whatever comes to mind first.

Helldivers 2

I wanna try arc raiders, but I don’t have the time to invest in it

No plan
Hope someone else figures it out before I’m too old to make it worthwhile

Orange juice
I’m allergic to it, but it’s an allergy I developed as an adult. As a kid I loved it, and I miss it so much.

Also Clearly Canadian blackberry flavour.

Using an AI is a great way to get learning materials tailored specifically to you.

But after you’ve learned from it, before you move on to another topic, you HAVE to verify your understanding against more trustworthy sources that you previously couldn’t understand. Ideally with an online course that actually gives you a test.

Vehicle combat games. Which I guess is more like a genre than a mechanic.

Right now it’s basically Mariokart or nothing.

Grip came out in 2018, but the physics were really unforgiving (clipping a corner could cost you like 10 seconds as you tumble) and there weren’t enough players online.
Which is a real shame because it’s gorgeous, fast paced, with effective power ups, and amazing tracks. And a hell of a sound track.

The thing new games don’t have that I miss from old games is friends to play the game with 😭

In an open world game that isn’t about racing*

Games like wreckfest have pretty great damage modeling. BeamNG too.

I really want to see a god game with gestures, like black&white, make the jump to VR

Like in the finals, kinda?

Speaks Cantonese, but the “dog accent” is so thick that nobody can understand

I also didn’t known it was a song, so the song never entered the Canadian consciousness either. The joke has existed for a while in various forms,, I just picked it up from that. Sometimes in a more faithful reproduction of the “I can’t drive either” joke, but often just riffing on super religious people not even attempting to save themselves or others in emergency situations, or especially in situations that are overblown into emergencies. I sometimes see it used as an ironic replacement for “YOLO” when you know you’re about to do something dumb and you don’t care. Shipping buggy code to prod, riding down a big hill in a shopping cart, buying a meme stock, etc.

Sometimes I can be a bit pedantic, and I like alliteration, and too many people were confusing my old go-to user name with a terrorist organization, despite it being peak IRC.
