PSA (to everybody around here, not just Riz) : Stop posting about how "you're thinking about making an XYZ game" or saying you're working on a thing MONTHS AND MONTHS before it's ever going to happen. You're completely killing any "opening excitement" your game could have had. People stop giving a shit after a few months of seeing you post about your stuff.

If I am going to pay for a server, and a coder I'm going to make damn sure that people are interested enough in it to be worth my time and money, even if it's just for a small number of people compared to hat a big game might pull in. If there is minimal or no interest after I've put in that money would be a waste for me. If there is only table top sized interest I might try to do something on Discord, Fantasy Grounds, or Table Top Simulator.

I will agree that advertisements probably isn't the best place for a game that's not open in any way, but that's already been dealt with.

Web design and development books bundle.

I was singing that damn song pretty much all the way home from the drive-in last night.

I have a new job, and am finally going to be thinking about getting a phone. Even my dad has one. I can look up specs and videos all day, but the technical aspects aren't the only things to look for. So... little help buying a phone? I don't have a particular brand loyalty or anything and my android tablet is stuck back in Jellybean, I think.

.Is it better to buy it outright, or go with a plan? I would prefer to be able to listen to the occasional audio book, but using it as an ereader would be nice as well. I don't care about taking pictures. I suppose I should with a phone, but I'll easy in to that. Mostly right now it's going to be a mobile authenticator for things.

Seriously any help would be appreciated

@thenomain It's the trend right now in adult Urban Fantasy covers; the protagonist standing / sitting / crouching in some probably dramatic or action pose. Sometimes they will have another person on the cover, or an animal if they are associated with it in some way, ad very rarely actually tell you anything about what the story is about.

You know, the whole don't judge a book by it's cover thing.

Hey guys! Right now on Humble Trove there are 4 games that are free to everyone: Quiet City, Knight Club, Uurnog, and Hitchhiker! Humble Trove is usually only available to Humble Monthly subscribers, but from now until June 1st they will be available to everyone. They will be yours to keep if you go monthly or not! This link is tied to my partner account, but the games are free regardless.

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

and since people here LARP and are crafty types, I'm going to put this here: Humble Cosplay Book Bundle here and not somewhere else because it has my affiliate link.

@roz Wait, it was in trouble?

I stream daily on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/moiren), and am a Humble partner. This month Humble has partnered up with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to unite gamers in a global fundraising campaign to end childhood cancer. The goal for Humble and all of the partners is $2,000 and my personal goal for the month is $250. I stream Monday to Friday for at least a few hours each day and will be accepting donations through to May 31st. The Humple Partners and friends page is https://tiltify.com/+humble-partners-friends/humble-partners-x-st-jude-play-live? where you can donate directly, or you can donate my page as well. Let's smash this goal and help getting kids better! https://tiltify.com/@moiren/moiren-magpie-plays-live-for-st-jude/donate.

Already met and well past the goal of $2000 for the month, and still going. I'm still taking donations as well for the rest of the month with everything I raise going to the group amount!

@apu It is and isn't. I mean on here, the movies talk, I go and look at unread posts and see the first few sentences of the latest Good or new movies thread. (as an example, not complaining!) but there are no spoiler tags and it's pretty darn spoilery to what's going on. it doesn't outright say the spoiler, but if you know the characters and what's going on, it's something I didn't know.)

Sure this is a minor-ish spoiler, I guess, because it's been spoiled all over the internet, not who but what, but it's not small.

So there are people who will purposefully do it, but people who casually spoil things as well.

Spoiling is just part of being on the internet, is what I'm saying, and either people will be dicks about it, or not. But even when people aren't the potential to be spoiled is there.

Oooh! I didn't know about that. Thanks for sharing!

The fact that going online at all can be a minefield trying to avoid spoilers, people are going to expect new things to spoil them, I think. A warning would be nice. If it's still in theatres, or on the top of the charts, spoiler tag it, it's not that difficult. If someone can't afford to see something until it's on sale or whatever it sucks, but with the nature of the internet, they've probably already been spoiled.

Spoilers are lame, and people like the Snape kills Dumbledore guy are lame, but I think punishments, even lame ones on a forum not devoted to movies / tv / books / games would be the thing to finally push me off of it.

This is a really good video on the lore of Fallout that was put out right before 4 came out. Alternate History Hub does a lot of what would the world be like if this happened. He's really good at explaining what did happen, and then what might have happened in an alternate setting.

Yay! Thank you!

(Even though I'm playing for a kids charity, I swear like a sailor).

@magee101 This is my Youtube link. But I haven't uploaded anythign really since I became a Twitch Affiliate, because a 5 hour stream is a bit much to render and upload daily. (Although I'm just bad at uploading videos at all (ask @Thenomain) but I hope once I know when my hours will be for work I'll be able to post clips from the week and get back to video uploads as well. (Not sure yet if I have to wait 24 hours on the videos, or just streams.)

Have you tried the desktop app to watch things on Twitch, or streamlink? I've been told it helps with streaming, at least, not sure about VoD though.

@jennkryst I uh...totally not a time-traveller? >.>

Honestly just missed it last year and didn't look at the date. Double sad now.

@Cobaltasaurus put an ad on WORA for an OTT.

The Cobalt pretty much for every one after, except Eldritch, that was here.
