I gifted the Pokemon Battle Academy set this year to my nephews (both 9yo). BA is boxed like a board game, it has three decks, two basic decks which are pre-sorted to play a tutorial game, and one advanced unsorted deck, along with guides for playing both decks, a full game guide, coin, damage counters, and a board which guides you on how to play. I also bought them sleeves and a couple of boosters that I told them they could use later.

I was there when they opened the box, told them about how I convinced their grandpa when I was their age to get me my first deck, and how I didn't play with anyone for a long time because no one in school had cards, and how lucky they were to have each other to play with. In the spirit of letting them do their Christmas thing, I told them "do you need me to teach you how to play?" they said they were ok, and I went to do other things around the house.

15 minutes later I come back and all cards are basically scattered around the room. One of my nephews is negotiating to trade 20 cards of their pre-constructed deck for the holo that comes on the other's deck. The advance deck is nowhere to be found, it's probably now part of their mega deck. The board, counters, coin and guides are still in the box.

They never battled, but all in all, they stayed trading cards all morning until they had to leave. One of them showed the other how to open their boosters the way youtubers open them (by putting the rare ones at the end for maximum content) and the importance of sleeving their holos.

I guess collecting is more fun these days. I'm happy they found joy in that.

Maybe we battle next year.

Cash grabs aside, I really enjoy a good biopic. I'm between David Bowie and Michael Jackson

Let's say I have the following structure:

my_module/
  __init__.py
  utilities.py

and __init__.py contains

from .utilities import SomeUtilityFunction

Is there a way to prevent or alert developers when they do

from my_module.utilities import SomeUtilityFunction

instead of

from my_module import SomeUtilityFunction

The problem arose when a few modules started using a function that was imported inside a module in which it wasn't used, while also being available on the module's __init__.py, so after linting the file and removing the unused import my tests started failing.

any other advice for situations like this?

I know that canonically, Jankom is a Tellarite and not a Talaxian, but I feel that his story's justification has a Tom Paris/Nick Locarno vibe, but I haven't been able to find any relationship on Google. There's a lot on Jankom that reminds me of Neelix:

• Delta quadrant
• Split nose
• Hair, sideburns and eyebrows
• Ears somewhat
• Spots

Also, I thought that Tellarites would look closer to what the doctor on Janeway's crew looked like.

Is some writer not being paid for the creation of Talaxian on Prodigy?

Insert Link dialog is inserting a ! symbol before the URL? which makes Boost not render it as a link, I don't know if that's the behavior on web Lemmy.

Repro:

• Start a new post or comment
• Press the link button on the toolbar
• Fill the form and insert the link
• The resulting markdown looks like this:

![Some URL](https://example.com)

If you press the preview (magnifier) button, it doesn't show as a link, and this continues after you post the new message

The other thing is that both fields of the Insert Link dialog have the placeholder "URL". I know the icons are different but at first glance I found it confusing

I'm in the process of developing a bot. My intention is to scan all comments regardless of depth in a given community up to a certain date, so it receives only the comments made since the last request. I want to play nice so I'm also trying to do it on the less amount of queries possible.

The community I'm testing this is fairly small, it has 40 comments total, but the problem is that when I request comments without specifying max_depth, and sort ordered by New, I receive only 10 comments, if I try to specify page, or limit, I get an error {"error":"couldnt_get_comments"}.

If I don't specify page or limit, and set an arbitrary number for max_depth, like 4, I get the 40 comments I'm expecting.

My question is: what's the correct way to request comments? My intention is doing something similar to an user pressing "Comments" on front of a community, like calling the community URL with params ?dataType=Comment&page=1&sort=New

Está basado en el comic "Mech Cadet Yu". Por el tráiler se nota que le cambiaron varias cosas a la historia, pero lo que más me dolió es que le cambiaron el diseño a los Mechs.

Ojalá que aún conserve algo de la original. La historia es bien seria y emotiva (ha llorado leyendo cómics??).

Hace tiempo, armé una lista de películas inspiradas en los libros de H.P. Lovecraft, curiosamente, he encontrado que hay muy pocas películas que tratan de ser adaptaciones directas de él, pero que logran enfrascar un poco de las mismas sensaciones que me causa el leer su trabajo. Pensé que sería bueno compartirla y ver si es que acaso me he estado perdiendo alguna joya del cine que ustedes me pudiesen aportar:

• Event Horizon (1997): Paralelo al tema del horror cósmico, yo diría que esta película también está fuertemente inspirada por el lore de Warhammer 40.000, al punto en que siento que está situada en el mismo universo. Está en Paramount+.
• In The Mouth of Madness (1994): La película, como varios de los relatos de HPL, comienza como el relato de una persona siendo tratada por su condición esquizofrénica, tratando de explicar hechos que son incompatibles con la realidad. Otra con Sam Neill que también aparece en Event Horizon.
• Colors Out Of Space (2019): Una de las pocas adaptaciones directas de un libro de Lovecraft, traslada la historia a la época contemporánea. Harto body horror, harto Nicolas Cage. Está en Prime Video.
• Prometheus (2012): Si pueden separar esta película del resto de la franquicia donde quisieron forzarla, tiene todos los elementos de un relato de horror cósmico. Científicos buscando el significado de la vida, posesiones, un ser de inteligencia indescifrable. Está en Star+.
• The Thing (1982): Un clásico. Si bien tiene un forma un poco más pragmática de narrar la situación que otras de las mencionadas antes, creo que a muchas personas les ha quedado grabada en la retina la forma en que esta película representa este ente incomprensible.
• Sphere (1998): Dustin Hoffman visita el fondo del mar y comienza a tener alucinaciones. Creo que la más introspectiva de esta lista y la menos visceral de todas, es más un tratamiento sobre la locura y la sensación de claustrofobia.

Algunas otras que tenía anotadas pero que aún no he visto:

• The Mist
• The Void
• The Empty Man
• Beyond The Black Rainbow
• The Endless
