  • Neovim is a rewrite of the vim project. From a high level (or from the perspective of a beginner to both), there’s not much difference between the two. That is, basic usage will be the same regardless of which ones you choose. Like, the model philosophy and default key bindings are basically identical.

    You start seeing major differences with more advanced usage and under the hood.

    • Neovim is built to support async processing, while Vim is entirely synchronous

    • Neovim offers native Language Server support while Vim requires plugins to do so. (Language Server Protocol is part of what makes VSCode so powerful)

    • Vim plugins are written with a custom script called “vimscript” while Neovim plugins are written in Lua but also supports vimscript.

    There are more differences, but this should cover the basic differences. I haven’t used neovim in an age, so I’m up for any corrections if anyone has any









  • I deleted most of my comment because what i had written was basically nonsense.

    The main point that i was going for is that “action adventure” isn’t a useless category, since it’s a hybrid of two separate genres.

    You can have non-action adventure games. Something like A Short Hike comes to mind. It didn’t need to turn/text based explicitly, but that’s common.

    You can also have action non-adventure games. You mentioned pong, but this could be anything that requires real time responses and control. Beat-em-ups are common.

    Action-Adventures are hybrids of the two: real time inputs with discovery elements


  • Action games and adventure games used to be two separate genres, but their similarities caused people writing magazine articles to group them together, under a single term “action-adventure” but they were often grouped together. You can think of it as “either or”, rather than some weird neologism

    [Edit: i can’t back up the statement that they were merge by magazine writers, that’s just where i first saw them merged]



  • Whisk(e)y drinker here, preferring neat. I like all types, especially if they are sherry-finished.

    I like too many for a concise list.

    I think Stranahan’s is the best bottle most people sleep on. It’s a Single Malt made in the US, so most Scotch drinkers dismiss it because “it’s not made in Scotland”, but most American drinkers are looking more for Rye and Bourbon flavors. It’s just delicious imo

    Ardbeg Wee Beastie is another favorite. Peated Scotches aren’t for everyone, but I think it has a great “campfire” quality

    Navazos Palazzi is a Spanish whiskey that we really like, and it’s one i never recommend to beginners. It’s harsh and sweet, but somehow it works. I’ve heard it described as “maple cookie covered in fresh pavement”, although I think it evokes more of that cut up tire that you can find on some playgrounds. It’s basically “fuck you” in a glass, in the best possible way

    For cocktails, i always go for Coke and Makers, with some grenadine.





  • Thanks for the update and for the link to the reasoning – I had completely missed it.

    Based on the initial post (only mentioning defederation without linking to the Details), it sounded like the three servers had a falling-out of some sort, but this sounds reasonable. I can appreciate the difficulty of trying to maintain a welcoming environment.

    From a user perspective, I think I’m mostly frustrated with the lack of visibility with these changes, specifically trying to keep track of what I do and don’t have access to. I don’t think that’s the responsibility of beehaw to implement, but I might continue to look for solutions
