Tampermonkey used to be open source, but unfortunately isn't any more. I still use it though, as it has better UX (e.g. nicer dashboard, prefills @match when creating new scripts, better editor, etc).
An alternative to Tampermonkey that is open source and still uses the old style of user scripts is Violentmonkey (which also lacks in the UX department, if i recall correctly).

Ginger can also help delay onset.
It can also be noted that motion sickness really only is a problem where the game character moves while you stand still physically (e.g. using a joystick to move around). Other forms of locomotion (like teleportation) are usually fine.

That will set the correct compiler and linker flags for you installation, and you can leave the include as just "SDL.h".aepiepaey | 6 years ago | on: Lines of code that changed everything

This should have been done from the start.
GitHub does not guarantee checksums for the generated source archives to be stable, so they can change when GitHub updates their software (and yes, this has happened).

For cli tools, on the other hand, there are definitely legitimate cases for exiting early.

I find that the maximum understandable rate varies a lot between speakers. For some speakers 2.5x is possible, but just 1.5x for others.
One advantage synths has, is that they can more easily control the speed at which words are spoken, and the pauses between words independently. When watching/listening pre-recorded content I often find that I'd want to speed up the pauses more than the words (because speeding up everything until the pauses are sufficiently short make the words intelligible).
If someone knows of a program or algorithm that can play back audio/video using different rates for speech and silence, please share.
