Brb celebrating my 2 cube win on a 50/50

This just adds weight to my “you must snap to emote” feature request.

Ping Bat by gruebite, Hekateras echolocation roguelike survival

#7DRL is on the move, 7DRLs are loose:

Ping Bat by gruebite is a mouse controlled ping-em-up where you're pinging to see prey, always scooting after the ghost of the thing you're trying to catch.

I've seen radar games before but not with the threat of faceplanting a tree

Are you a fan of over the Internet medical diagnosis by non-medical professionals? Because if not, get a sleep study done. If so, melatonin.

And wish for: getting @gregegansf.bsky.social to endorse the sequel A Lot of Zeroes which is heavily inspired by Diaspora.

Science fiction is about reconciling your hope for the future with how alienated from it you are.

The biggest bump was having @unormal.bsky.social say “this is really something unique and you have to get it” when I launched Sixty Years in Space.

3. How did you get the coverage? Did you reach out or was it organic?

Still not getting why people want to watch a show about Walter White, a failure of a man whose abject self-entitlement leaks out of every pore.

At this point you’re describing my Dad who, in his quiet way, is the strongest and most moral person I know.

the impulses themselves are understandable but if you find yourself inclined to respond to current events with "this is unprecedented" and looming possibilities with "we would never" I urge you to learn about how in fact they aren't, and how we already have

Again, Tár starts with talent and ambition, two things that WW completely lacks.

I love Macbeth but because it’s a tragedy - it charts his fall from grace. Walter White is a graceless imbecile to start with.

*hemmed

Thanks. I’ve trod multiple times (again after Pluribus) and I find it so dull and lacking in tension because Walter White is already irredeemable after the first episode so dramatically it already feels hedged into a corner.

Good vs evil I’m fine with; horror I’m fine with; bad man do bad things is just boring?

I really have a problem with understanding what it is about those stories that people find interesting. If you don’t empthasize with the characters, what’s the attraction?

The correct response was to turn it off after episode one, because why would you want to spend time with someone like that.

I thought this setting was for joke posts, not images

If you’ve previously bounced off Sixty Years in Space, I’ve now had reports from multiple players than update 6 made the game significantly easier to play while keeping all the emergent goodness intact.

Ugh I’ve got to split up All Errors are My Own, because a 600 page book is ridiculous, and a 3/2 era split makes sense, but the last 2 eras are 70% or more of the book…

“Ah yes, the David Lynch original edit of Dune. Although it runs to more than 3 hours, it deepens the experience significantly.”

(I see now: “fun” is in quotes in the OP. I’ve been thinking a lot about types 2 and 3 fun, which are definitely not enjoyment fun. That’s how I missed this. My apologies.)

A short essay on why I jumped on a thread:

[] you were a leftist ignoring the evils of someone you support
[] you were a leftist applying a moral purity test to an imaginary class of person you just dreamed up
[] you were a right-winger being particularly stupid (category retired due to exhaustion)

The bad game defender has logged on.

Or as another poster put it, we don’t worry for one second about the GM role playing bad guys, but as soon as the players do it, it’s a problem.

That takes a lot of agency away from
the players.

(And yes, I realise a game manifests its politics in a lot more systems than just GM and player agency)

(I hope that’s an accurate summary).
