Steam Workshop::Qud: Genders Unleashed

yw! the mod is actually mostly just enabling existing in-game functionality

if you want more than that I made steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... to give some more options :)

Steam Workshop::Gender and Pronoun Sets

does steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... not meet your needs?

congratulations 💜💜

I’d make the case that Caves of Qud is one of the standout works of SF in the 21st century thus far. It’s taken over a decade; it’s sprawling; it has its own idiosyncratic but consistent epistemologies that are only learnable by fucking around. So to see it recognized by the field is so validating.

The #HugoAward for Best Game or Interactive Work goes to Caves of Qud.

looks like you won’t have to wonder anymore :) congrats!!!

congrats y’all!!!

Enjoy the trip! 🚀

147 Knowledge 1: Helena is looking outside the classroom from her desk, speaking in someone else’s voice. „Look at these children in their cage“. 2: There’s a sparrow jumping on the window sill. „Isn’t it weird humans spend all their time inside trying to learn about the outside?“ 3: The sparrow flies away. „They could join us and learn just as much.“ Helena’s deskmate is saying „Why are you pretending to be a bird?“ 4: Helena tells him „Because birds can’t talk.

Expecting survival of the fittest when one gets infectious disease and cancer is eugenics.

top line on a fiery background: HELL YEAH I DRIVE FAST The following text is below it and shrinks in font sizes until it becomes unreadable: Modern urban design and traffic planning inadvertently encourage higher speeds: highway speed limit is based on the 85th percentiles and their entire form is based on increasing the safety of speeding drivers compared to encouraging actual safe behaviors. The good per-mile incident rates of highways then fed into the road design of denser cities with mixed traffic. This in turn inadvertently encouraged speeding within cities and shrunk usage of non-motorized transport. We should also look into systemic contributors, and a long known safety pattern for drivers is to match the speed of those surrounding them to remove the relative difference. What we must re-think is a broader set of speed-enhancing incentives in shaping traffic to truly value safety. Even the choice of metric used to optimize for the last century is based on miles driven and structurally under-emphasized denser areas as less important and

brainstorming how to up the ante on presentation format from my last Qud talk

Everyone knows that "Preferences" should be found under Edit (because you edit them), under Tools (because they control the parameters of your tools), under General (because they are categorically broad), & under File (because a preference is a 'filing off' from a marble block of possibility)

This IOCCC winner entry (International Obfuscated C Code Contest) made me smile. The code draws the current moon phase to the console.

u.s. department of energy post on x praising coal: "She's an icon She's a legend And she is the moment [sparkly picture of coal]

If a scholar of petro-masculinity said that men lust for coal, it would be seen as an exaggeration. But here we are...

"Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who kidnapped people" is the moderate position.

I hate when someone gets a leg up just because they're a "son of man" and very large and ambiguously understood in their mythical context. That's pure nephilism

browsing the caves of qud mods for the first time and this took me out

glad you enjoyed it :)

I've been bedridden for the last 7 months, unable to work, and now my roommate who was covering rent is having tax issues. I need to raise a few thousand dollars to cover rent and bills for this month, so If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Thanks so much.

apropos of nothing but anyone know of a good place to host a (game/mod) jam?

You guys already ethnically cleanse the timeline pretty thoroughly.
