    • RE: State of Things

      @Ghost said in State of Things:

      Are we discussing from a global perspective or an American perspective?

      I am discussing from my perspective, which is American. Unlike many Americans, I am willing to change my perspective if it means I have a more complete understanding. But I suspect any aspect of this discussion is regional.

      I could see the USA breaking down a la the EU, but not reasonably outside science fiction.

      @Thenomain Hmm, that's weird, it runs fine for me.

      Yeah, but I was offering testing, as per the original post:

      (Haven't tried on Mac).

      I am not a Python coder by even the slightest stretch, so I don't know how to debug this.

      @Rook

      I also cannot think of a time I am any more nervous and anxious about our future. Obviously I want it to go one way over another, but I called it a war because I think we have some core ideologies that are clashing hard. It's nerve-wracking. It's amazing.

      I want to find the happy middle ground. Except for over science. Businessmen and religious organization who are trying to push an anti-science agenda for their own profit or beliefs can fuck right off. Humanity will be worse off for the attempts of these people.

      This is now the entirely wrong thread for this. Hm.

      I think that we are enjoying a time where we have the luxury of defining ourselves more than we have in decades. The hippies, the people who didn't stop being hippies and start being greedy 80s business fucks, know what it's like. George Clooney in the 90s told Entertainment Magazine that he would cut them off from every interview if they kept hounding him. They bitched, he cut them off, they stopped. Proposition 8 failed. A bakery got sued for gender discrimination. Not minor corporations left North Carolina for their attitude on same-sex couples, and were not pressured by their target audience to do so. We are in a social war over beliefs right now and I cannot think of any other point in my life that I'm more excited at the future of our species.

      I do see that people are taking this selfishly, such as the radical elements of both the SJW movement and the Men's Rights movement (don't laugh; there are people on both sides with valid points). We make fun of Millenials for this, brah, but this is the world they're growing up in. I think that we need to go the final step and talk and understand. I don't know if that's going to happen, but I think that will be the final step and tell us how this is all going to play out.

      @Thenomain Could be worse. I could ask for some updated HSpace monstrosity for a Technocracy/Void Engineer game.

      See, I would take a month and completely re-code that. Which reminds me, I need to finish updating the Places system on Fate's Harvest.

      @Rook

      I agree 100%.

      And yet, a "gamer" is not something that has a clear-cut label any more than if I am late to the bus I am a "runner". Without the ability to define what a gamer is, the onus is on you to defend why you're right and he's wrong, or to initiate the discussion that explains what you mean by "gamer" so that you can come to an understanding.

      Self-identifying is useful in those situations.

      I am not being a hippie about this, but I see around me people getting pissed off at things where a simple conversation can clarify views and we can move on. You know, like this. Right now.

      edit: I like @ThatGuyThere's definition, too.

      Also a pillow. My kingdom for a pillow.

      It's a small kingdom, but I will settle for a small pillow.

      But in your kingdom, where would I buy a pillow? The workers seized the means of production.

      You're annoying me because you face is stupid. Shut up.

      Also, get me a pillow. I want to sleep. Fuck the world.

      Also also, I never said you had to buy it, and even if I had, seizing the means of production doesn't actually mean you stop being able to buy pillows, it would just mean that the profits go to the workers instead of an exploitative capitalist / bougeoise owner of a pillow making factory.

      Well whose money paid for the effort of building your precious pillows? Yours? Hah! I think not!

      Here's your pillow, Hippie, now go back to sleep.

    • RE: Difficulty of single-player computer games

      I consider a "gamer" to be something you self-apply, not something that is applied to you. Mind you, you can self-apply by association; if you compete in MLG events then you're probably a gamer whether you call yourself that or not.

      Installed and/or updated Homebrew, check.
      brew install pyqt which installs python3 as a dependency, check.

      Let's do this.

      It does amaze and infuriate me that too many vapers don't seem to have one ounce of smoker's etiquette. I now have to expect that vapers are going to have the self-awareness of a two-year-old about it, and am thankful at those who offer the same consideration as most smokers.

      @SunnyJ said in General Video Game Thread:

      You talking shit about Witcher 3 bro? You wanna go?

      If you think that I didn't almost cry at the ending of W3, you would be wrong. I also think that Borderlands 2 is the world's perfect single-player MMO.

      But if you have to create a system with fast-travel, then you're saying that travel is boring after you reach the destination, which implies some negatives to this design decision.

      I also forgot Reckoning: Kingdoms of Amalur. The world's most boring single-player MMO, but I finished it and I am not ashamed. As boring as it was, the ending was pretty swank.

    • RE: General Video Game Thread

      I've been playing Tom Clancy's Whatever Whatever: Wildlands, free thanks to a new graphics card, and I've discovered a few things:

      1. I'm tired of this style of open world game, and I've only played a few before it: Dragon Age Inquisition, Fallout 4/3/New Vegas, Mass Effect Andromeda, Witcher 3, Saint's Row 4, Borderlands 2/Pre-Sequel. I get it, guys; you like padding out your play time. It's getting boring. Yes, I know we can blame MMOs for this. Still, nnngh.
      2. I die at least once per encounter
      3. This is going to take me FOREVER to finish. There are some, like, 10 areas to clear; the first area took me about 6-8 hours. Half of you were on your third playthru of Andromeda before I was finished with my first.
      4. Most realistic car physics yet; I find I'm not trying to fling myself off the road in a cheap-as-fuck 4-cylinder car.

      Are there new features available?

      In computer terms, a beta means a feature freeze; no new features, just fixing and tweaking the existing ones. It's meant to focus on bug-fixing.

    • RE: Are there any MU* RP log repositories out there?

      Generally they're on the wiki of the game you logged them from. I don't know of a repository for every log on every game that anyone cares to upload about. I think that'd be a little crazy.

      I only put Fallout: the table-top game here because I know one of you fools will be tempted enough to use it for a MU*. 🙂

      Sadly it's just a tactical minis game. Not really a Mush thing.
