    snsabot: (ossasepia) 2020-04-18 lru: who wrote V?
    
    snsabot: (ossasepia) 2020-04-18 diana_coman: re logbot though, I'll underlign that the current thing uses python and moreover it imports the nightmare called "flask" ; it forces also postgres and it ensures that you are locked in with it because yeah, if you change, you'll break everyone's links
    
    asciilifeform: 'hey monkeys, who built this temple yer living in?' 'never mind who. and btw this temple sucks, the pipes leak, we're building a new one out of our own shit in the next five year plan' 'why do you live there' 'we were locked into it, the evil builder wouldn't run hot water into the forest, we're force to go here and we hate'

    asciilifeform: next, next fiveyearplan, shinohai !111
    
    shinohai: Guess it takes first decade to build graphics.
    
    asciilifeform: shinohai: actually it's almost mind-boggling if you think about it: diana was fulltime on that thing for what, 5y? e.g. j. carmack wrote 'doom' engine in, iirc, < 1y
    
    shinohai: lol, troo
    
    asciilifeform: from empty space.
    
    asciilifeform: 'doom' incidentally so playable, that 25 yrs after release occasionally i still play it. and can't picture that i'm the only 1.
    
    asciilifeform: 'by their fruits you shall know them'(tm).
    
    snsabot: Logged on 2020-03-25 17:28:41 asciilifeform: imho she's an earnest bureaucrat. i.e. aggressive mediocrity
    
    shinohai: Heh me and girls just played round of doom last weekend
    
    shinohai got retroarch working on Gentoo correctly, can now play all his old roms ...
    
    thimbronion: Been playing latest Doom.  Quite fun.
    
    shinohai: thimbronion: is that Doom Eternal?
    
    thimbronion: shinohai: yes
    
    shinohai: Haven't played it yet myself.
    
    thimbronion: Well if you enjoy chainsawing winged demons you might enjoy it.
    
    shinohai: ^_____^
    
    asciilifeform prefers the classics, and on dedicated physical (i.e. w/ msdos) iron
    
    asciilifeform: compl. w/ 'trinitron'
    
    thimbronion: I recently had something of a monster water-cooled PC put together for something unrelated, also happened to have an amd graphics card laying around that meets the minimum requirements.
    
    trinque: new Doom is indeed a top-tier gorefest.
    
    trinque: and yeah, still play the original from time to time, still good!
