      I did have a classmate try to replicate Simon in QBasic but he kept needing the input reversed.

      I told him the “feature not a bug” line and suggested he call it NOMIS

        Had to look that up - seen it before but never played. Sorry for the late reaction, lemmy.world had enough server problems that I didn’t see my notifications in > 2 weeks…

          No worries. Lemmy feels way more casual than Reddit anyway and I got notifications for months old comments there from time to time

            Now if only I could find a way to open - from my notification about your response - your comment in the context of the community - but on my own instance. I have tried clicking on “Show context” -> links to the home server of the community, where I can not post / respond. Clicking anywhere else:

            • Username: takes me to your profile
            • Community: takes me to my instance’s view of the community in which we are communicating
            • Post name: takes me to my instance’s view of the thread in which we are communicating, but of course without context to the comment
            • link symbol: does nothing
            • Show context: see above, takes me to the correct place, on the wrong instance
            • Timestamp: does nothing

            :(

            Anyways, I like lemmy a lot, but I think with the recent nasty defederation announcement at lemmy.world from hexbear I’ll have to find another instance as home…

              FWIW I home at midwest.social. It’s not strictly for the Midwest US but you’ll see a lot of stuff for that region there. It’s also left leaning and I think the only instances they’ve defederated so far have been for extremism.

              I’m also using jerboa on my phone and from my inbox there’s a speech bubble button which lets me make this response from my inbox.

              I don’t know if either of these things will help you but I figured I’d offer them just in case they did.
