HN, can you help me find a game I played in the early 2000s?

It was a browser game. You had a grid (pretty small), and components to put in like conveyor belts.

Each level had a winning condition, of course increasingly complex.

The goal of the game was, as much as I can remember, teach you some basic programming concepts (like boolean gates).

I faintly remember some red and yellow lights? I might be wrong.

I remember getting addicted to this game, then lost track of it forever.



It is! Thanks!

I see there's also a 2022 remake, uh.


Most of them are great but the absolute essentials are (imo): Spirited Away, Totoro, Princess Mononoke.


"samurai" movies:

- Seven Samurai

- Rashomon

- Ran

- Throne of Blood

- Kagemusha

non-samurai:

- High and Low

- Ikiru

I would say that the essentials are Seven Samurai, High and Low, Rashomon.


In the games Link talks. We just don't hear him.


For the first entry in the franchise they might want to go on with more recognizable characters/settings.


One can hope the film is 1/10th as good as this fanmade short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbMQfaG6lo8


Clubs turning people away is a feature, not a bug.

It's a moderation problem, and if you don't have the right "vibes" you don't get in.

It's arbitrary? Yes. Prone to false positives? Yes. Does it work? Also yes.

That's how clubs maintain their unique identity.


during the final stages of covid you could only buy tickets beforehand and therefore there wasn't really a hard door to get though. It sucked and destroyed really any unique character. For example, usually sissy is more colourful, more festival-like, easy going but being there during the last civid-stages it sometimes felt like an after-work event. With young professionals who look like they are being spat out of co-working spaces, wearing chinos and all.

I used to resent the door policies but after this experience (it really destroyed the atmosphere!), I am glad they exist.


> With young professionals who look like they are being spat out of co-working spaces, wearing chinos and all.

Oh god, the horror. How did you cope? Did you still manage to express yourself with these soul sucking chino wearers nearby? It's a good thing that indiviualism is so non-judgemental huh.


Dress codes are a thing, you know.

And paying to get into places where you couldn't get otherwise (by "vibes" only) is enough to tell you're out of place.

Elon Musk tried to enter Berghain and was refused; Kanye West tried to jump the line at Mustafa and was sent back.


After the experience during covid, I think that dress-codes also serve also a social function besides the purely aesthetic/vibe. You communicate to the door that you paid attention and know what's going on and how to behave. It's not perfect but we really can't do better I think. These nightclubs are a safe-space for many to express themselves and it is important to keep it that way.



This has been the /fit/ sticky basically forever, and it's always a great read: https://liamrosen.com/fitness.html
