There's that picture with the "no one wants to work anymore" quotes going back to like 1820?

From the top of my head

  • crawl stone soup. Classic traditional rogue like. Less fiddly than net hack, but very good.
  • untitled story (an older game by the main person behind Celeste. Looks like Ms paint but is utterly charming)
  • everything supergiant did. Hades, bastion, pyre
  • binding of Isaac is a classic.

I want to like Into the Breach but it's too stressful. Like, when I fuck up in FTL and the crew dies it sucks, but when I fuck up in Into the Breach and all those civilians die? Oof. They were counting on me!

True. Saying you got fired sounds like you fucked up. Maybe "dismissed" is more neutral without being totally PR Speak?

Anyone else dislike the phrase "let go" in this context? It sounds like you're doing them a favor, or they were being held hostage, or giving them permission to do something. I'd prefer "fired" or "terminated", even though those have their own connotation problems.

Meme's relatable, though. This capitalist hellscape is awful.

That's one of the recurring ironies. Most of the stuff anti-car-culture people are pushing for (eg: more trains, this photo, etc) make it better for the people who do drive

Maybe the design is bad, then.

I still want to see some sort of honey pot for ICE and the other goons. Like leak there's going to be a big "illegals" celebration in a meeting hall, wait for them to show up, then lock the doors. Fill room with carbon monoxide. Let them pass out and die while looking for their victims.

Javascript could throw an error to alert you that the input is supposed to be a string, like most languages would do.

I'm still irritated about when I was a youth I found a somewhat obvious security hole, and took advantage of it in a mildly funny way, the staff just punished me.

You weren't supposed to be able to change the desktop background, but for some reason MS Paint had a "set to background" option that worked. So I set the background to a screenshot of the desktop, and then hid all the icons and start menu. Later, the teacher thought the computer was broken because "nothing was working".

I think it could've been a good teaching moment. A talk about not messing shared resources up, and channel my interests somewhere productive. Nope. Just a lecture and week long library ban. Disappointed.

I'm not sure if it's possible to build a healthy social network.

Smaller communities can work, if they're well moderated. The small size also helps norms become established.

Once the network gets really big, you have eternal September problems. You have too many bad actors in absolute numbers to deal with.

So yeah, the problem is us but we suck.

Maybe federation would work, since that can keep the moderation workload smaller and distributed.

Javascript is like Dungeons and dragons. It's a mess, weighed down by legacy decisions, too heavy in some places and too light in others, and used in far more places than it should be. It also has some diehard fans, and some diehard fans who have never used anything else.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
