Well at least the series is not being left hanging...

I was pretty happy with this news this morning. I mean, it's not a third season, but it's closure, which is better than nothing.
Did you see the Farscape mini-series after the show got canceled? The Peacekeeper Wars? And you still want to say that?
I'm absolutely kidding. I'm extremely glad that they did it.
How would you implement places on a web interface?
Something similar (but better) than folders in a list-view, with or without the expansion arrow. You create an embedded window that until you 'join' you can only see the people there. Once you join, you get a secondary discussion window, a "spawn" if you will.

@Coin Definitely! Artisanal PRPs and Staff Plots would still be the gold standard (once I stop laughing about using 'artisanal' in this sentence) but the canned ones could give people things to do with minimum lead time and a pace they get to set, even when nobody wants to run a full plot scene.
I'm thinking of it as 99 percent mush, but with a couple of the more labor intensive things automated to allow for maximum fun. (Like quick start characters, the plot in the box idea and whatever else I can think of and either figure out how to code or get a coder to make for me.)
Man, I would kill for this plot-in-a-box thing, but @Thenomain fights me so hard on that stuff by showing an absolute disinterest whenever I bring it up.
<.<
ahem
Stop giving me shit to do. Punk-ass greedy Millenial.
@Ganymede
Yeah? Yeah.
Oh yeah, because voluntary opt-in information for a small insurance company rating web site is going to give the most accurate information. Hold on, let me roll my eyes a bit.
To add to your horror: Those are the updated interchanges.
Going east/west in this city involves insider knowledge. Pittsburgh seems to know how to do bridges just fine tho. Why can't we?
And don't fucking start with the Buckeyes ever. I fucking hate them.
I hear that they're showing promise this year.

I can't keep up the pretense. What the Buckeyes do for me is increase the excitement around the place and fuck up traffic. I subscribe to an OSU Football Home Games calendar just so I know if I have to leave for work a half hour early on game days.

Look at this conversation for example. @Thenomain is already putting himself and his choices in a negative light by saying he should and doesn't, etc. Or by saying he's spent X hours doing X thing and should be doing... we really need to eliminate 'should'. He enjoys gaming, there is nothing wrong with that.
Except I don't. I mean I do, but I don't enjoy it as much as I'd enjoy time outside. Staying inside and online is easy; I am very notably a lazy person. I grew up in the era when going outside as a kid and not coming home until dusk was a thing. Every day, all day, all summer long. I love to camp, to walk, to bike, to be outside, I absolutely adore it. So why don't I do it?
I believe that being adult means knowing what needs to be done and doing them. There are two incredibly hard parts to this, and only one is "and doing them". That part is absolutely hard, but the part that's just as hard is "knowing what needs to be done".
Yes yes, "knowing is half the battle, yo Joe," but you know what, knowing isn't that flipping easy! And being able to recognize a situation, recognize a solution, and then carrying out that solution are three parts to, well, Adulting.

Let me edit my phrasing, then...
Digital Oceans also gives you a Linux slice and SSH console access. I don't know how its web-services support is, tho.
Err.... where?
Are we using the word 'console' differently?
I type, in my nice local terminal shell: ssh thenomain@gameaddy.com
I get a password challenge.
I get a shell prompt.
I type something like 'echo $0' and I get something like '-bash'.
If we're using the word differently, I don't know how you expect it to be used.

I was being specific: ssh console access.

Shit, this goes for Mushers too. I don't mind hanging out with MU*ers, but sometimes, guys, I really don't wanna hear about your character from a decade ago. Really.
Or the latest staff bullshit. It's all sportsball talk at that point; it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things and there are so many more interesting things to talk about.
@Auspice said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:
The other great advice: if it's truly important, you'll "find the time."
A lot of people don't do things that they should. "I can't find the time" is my biggest lame excuse right now, even though I have logged over 20 hours in Wolfenstein: New World Order. Really, Theno? Can't find the time?
Heck, why stop there? When someone enters the room, put them on a temporary list. When they pose, move them to the 'cast' list. When the log ends, spit out that list with the log.
If someone is 'just passing through', you can have the logger exclude them from the log. ('log/exclude bob')
A scene-set system can also introduce the scene to the wiki version of the log, and if it changes then it can log it when it changes and format it all nice and pretty for the wiki.
Educate quotes, if possible!
You can put a timestamp on each pose by encapsulating it in a <span> with a hint of metadata. The logger probably should be timestamping the poses anyway if you want it integrated in some kind of 'pose tracker' system. Use timestamps to the hundredths of a second!
This started as just one thought and became many more. This is why I take so long to code; all of the above seem to me like exciting additions to any logger.
Minor Warning: Some games allow players to make their own 'OOC' prefix; the above code won't know one from another.

My bike is old and hard to pedal. A lot of people have questioned me for purposefully riding a heavy bike. I tell them that this is the point.
You can get a chain cleaning kit for about $20 with degreaser. When I clean my chain, it's like getting a new bike. If it's really really old and messed up, a new chain + a chain tool is a bit more, but worth it if you like bike riding.
Thanks for the link. I'll look into it.
I am one of those people who would like to "blame" their family and for projects for interrupting any time, but as advice people who do exercise often have for people who don't, the key Number One thing you have to do is start.
I can't say "I don't have the money" when I'm buying game from the Steam Summer Sale that I know I'll never play, go to Origins Game Fair (tho I did bike there from home with long pants on in 90 degree weather--hey, it's something, right?), and use these other things as excuses.
I'm typing on a keyboard right now, which is not something I would recommend anyone try while peddling on a bike trail. Which I'm not. Fft.
@Auspice said in Fallen World 2.0:
I am the only standard Auspice.
You are certainly our Standard Reference Auspice.
Code update: Added a few non-standard Auspices, found that my code was stupid in the head about Auspice Skills, and fixed it. New Families arrive, old Dynasties leave. Changes are afoot.
@golgoth said in Poll: Changing Breeds Game System:
@Tinuviel ... ahhhh FATAL. The reviews of that game are the best part of that game.
The reviews of that game are the only good part of that game. Someone suffered for your sins, you know, and your amusement.
That sounds like a repeatable sitation that you can send to the Potato development team as a bug. If they have a chat room, that'd be a good place to start too.
