capability is fine. Conflation is stupid. You can also use code to erase itself, but thinking that’s a good idea is generally wrong. But to remove that, you also remove the general ability to erase files.

Sure, but let’s just clarify that this is someone going out of their way to create this problem, using Python’s ability to read it’s own code.
Basically, you can load any text file, including a source code file, and do whatever you want with it.
So, a function can be written that finds out whatever’s calling it, reads that file, parses the comments, and uses them as values. This can also be done with introspection, using the same mechanism that displays tracebacks.

That’s a fairly decent and nuanced take.

Cursed ring of acrobatics.
Gives the player great acrobatic skill, but sticks to their finger when they wear it. And they can’t stop getting around acrobatically. Any action attempted fails, unless it is done acrobatically. Player has normal or only slightly improved stamina.
Player: i’ll get my rope and grappleing hook and scale the wall.
DM: lifts eyebrow you think so, do you?
Player: sigh I throw my pack into the air and leap after it. At the peak of its arc, I flip over it, grabbing my grappling hook and flinging it over the wall as I do.
DM: ok, sounds like difficulty of 15…
Blursed. Not that I disagree.
Snaps bad because shoving updates down throats.
This is a solid take.
Personally, I took snap out of my computer and burned it over a fire, but i toasted my marshmallows first, because I didn’t want snap on my marshmallows.

Maybe it’s you.
Yes. It’s a scalable hobby, and can run from virtually no cost to why-are-you-burning-money. But you can do a lot in gaming with little monetary investment.
There are lots of budget indie games that are lots of fun, and if you find out you like gaming and want to try more fancy titles, you can always upgrade hardware.
Minimal entry: your current pc. Install steam, and buy/try what you like, returning it if it’s too slow/doesn’t work.
Light entry: get familiar with your pc’s ram size, hd/ssd size, cpu speed/type, and graphics card. Use that to ensure your pc can handle the game by looking at the game’s minimum requirements.
Medium-heavy entry: Upgrade things.
- ssd if you don’t have one. The difference between that and spinning disks is night and day. If you wished things loaded faster, get this.
- 8 gb graphics card in the $150 range, amd or nvidia-based. Get this if you want a smoother experience / if you can notice individual frames happening. You don’t need the most expensive tech to play most games that are out there.
- Genuine XBox or PS4/5 controller. These standard controllers are generally pretty solid and durable. $60ish
- new cpu ($$$, and may not even be an option): most games won’t be processor-bound. But some are cpu-heavy. Get this if you really want to upgrade overall, or have a particular title in mind that needs it. Or…
- Low-mid range gaming computer ($900 ($600-$1500)): wait until you want to do a pc upgrade, and get a low-end gaming computer. I recommend Lenovo LOQ or Legion. Lenovo in general has provided laptops that don’t fall apart on me, and that’s not something I can say about most computer manufacturers. That said, keep them long enough and you’ll have to replace the keyboard - but that’s every laptop out there that I’ve run across.
- or: go crazy and buy everything all the time at the moment it his the market because it is a game or has “game” written on, near, or associated with it (not recommended)
True, but your post did kinda read like this:
Auto-updates are a hell-no for me.
There was a perfectly good user interface for updates. Then Ubuntu decides “wait… What if we made updates compulsory and effectively random and skipped the UI. The user can do system updates whenever they want, because those don’t matter for security or something, but these apps must be updated whenever snap determines they must.”
Oh, snap!
People think that problems shouldn’t exist, and that the authorities should have fixed it, and it’s killing their motivation to live.
There is no authority. There is how you want to live your life, and who you want to be. We are in the anarchy. You live your live according to your principles, and that works for you or doesn’t. We all want and can sometimes even have a nice situation, but underneath it, nature is metal - and we haven’t “grown out of it”.
Glad to see someone was looking for a bumb fuck and got one. Life is good, sometimes.
Thanks for your explanation, here’s a fish:

Yeah. ‘lib’ isn’t a standard Python library, it’s the name of the abomination that this person created. Since python has quite a bit of useful introspection, they can do something like:
abomination.add()Now, I don’t know if python keeps the comments around, so it may involve getting the filename and line number, reading the file, and manually extracting the comment text from that line.
