  • Video about why the fuck NOT to get vinyl: https://youtu.be/aZ2czFuIYmQ

    Tl;dw:

    • Supports the oil industry
    • Actively detrimental to air quality, even when lying around and not being played
    • Objectively worse sound quality than digital formats
    • More expensive to artists than CDs
    • Can pollute water when trashed

    People like them as a way to collect stuff and support artists, but there are better ways to do both.

    This “biovinyl” shit might circumvent the first problem, but reeks of greenwashing.







  • It’s useful for modularity and consistency.

    If you have a fireball attack, explosion attack, and laser attack, it’s better to just use a particle emitter for each. You can reuse scripts in this case.

    You might want to add additional effects, maybe particles being emitted at the source when it first fires or from the beam when it’s turned off. This would be a bit more simple if everything’s just a particle effect.

    Not saying that the punishment is proportional, but this guy isn’t exactly a hero.

    Team Executor stole open source code from the Atmosphere project and then sold it as SXOS with added DRM that could permanently brick systems.
