    well, no, i correct myself again

    if i call you pal it's probably along the lines of calling you chief or tiger

    it's condescending for sure

    but if you're my pal, then we're friends

    and if i call you pally-boy it's a lighthearted term of endearment

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to do Ctrl-D from Visual Studio Code in Visual Studio?

    I know we were talking about this before.

    What does Ctrl-D do in Visual Studio Code?

    Say I have highlighted the text "div", Ctrl-D will also highlight the next "div" that occurs on the page each time I hit it, and then if I type it will replace all the selected text at once.

    Basically a lazier way to do find+replace, I guess?

    I would just assume anyone who explicitly calls me friend/pal/buddy/champ/bro is doing a bit.

    Also re: The Witness: it's really hard so I wandered around a couple hours until I reached puzzles I couldn't figure out and then didn't open the game again. It's pretty, though. Probably people who want to think for fun would like it.

    Aw, you should've kept walking until you found an easy one.

    The game is very much designed for you to find something too hard and then just walk away.

    But you're supposed to do that in the game, not in real life.

    I did do that. Solved some puzzles, reached an end point, walked around more, solved some more.
    But I don't actually like puzzle games. Not how I want to spend my free time; they do not spark joy. If I'm playing videogames, it's because I wanna kill people, not do problem solving. If you want me to think you need to give me a salary.

    What're your thoughts on rhythm games?

    I find it weird when games don't have infodumps where it is appropriate.

    You just joined my band of misfits, mysterious stranger. Give me your entire life story now because I feel that is kind of important to get me to trust you. Your past is unimportant? That is a good reason to not mind telling me!

    I think everyone should have a nickname. The less they make sense the better.

    That's basically what is happening here.

    and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
    but they're listening to every word I say

    Doesn't everyone just always have VS Code open in one window and Visual Studio in the other?

    It's so inconceivable that I would call anyone 'friend', 'buddy', 'pal', etc. Hell, it's a struggle for me to even use other people's names unless I'm really close to them. I just...don't address people when I talk to them.

    I love them! But I've only really played Rock Band and um that little final fantasy rhythm game on 3DS. I think they're best played on a console or handheld, though, and I only play PC games these days (....and I can't play Osu because it's too hard, but I do in theory like it...)

    Boy was it awkward to describe the ring requirements to the jeweler.

    "...also, and I cannot stress this enough, all the mountings for the gemstones must be flush with the surface and present no sharp edges..."

    When we were ACTUALLY talking to a jeweler he literally did not understand this and insisted it was impossible

    Motherfucker I know Gypsy settings exist what is wrong with you

    I dislike jewelers very much.

    I think a lot of people default to this. I certainly started using names only intentionally and against my baser instincts, having learned of the known benefits for personal interaction.

    I call everyone man or dude. Unless you're my boss.

    Except my one cool boss when I worked at the real estate office front desk. She got dude. Mostly because her being the boss just meant she had longer hours than me and had to deal with the angrier phone calls.

    and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them

    Everything can be said with a layer of implied menace.

    To be clear, everything I say is actually a veiled threat.

    It's hard to convey in text that everything I say is actually intended as aggressively and angrily as possible.

    I saw one a while ago that was zombie apocalypse themed and you did rhythm bits to kill zombies; that seemed really fun. I never played it though.
    If I were to pick up a rhythm game now, it would probably be Elite Beat Agents, on a friend's recommendation.

    check out a dance of fire and ice maybe? It's like $2 or $3 on steam. It's a cute short game that I bought on a whim and enjoyed the other day.

    Ctrl-D does the select next instance of highlighted thing but I don't think it does the multiselect cursor as you keep hitting it so you can type the replacement string just once. Ctrl-Shift-L selects all instances and I believe does the multi-point input on all of them at once.

    Hm, my Visual Studio is not doing these things at all. Ctrl-Shift-L deletes a line. I wonder if this is related to my extensions.

    Goddammit now I have to actually spend time learning to use the program I use every day of my life.
