Yeah, I need to push the 64 bit version publicly live soon, before Catalina drops in September. Otherwise the 32 bit older version dies.
I’m still having font spacing issues on whatever version you pushed out for small bug fixes.
always.
@Sparks said in Hosting and codebase recs:
It is not how I would recommend building a live-updating MU* website, but it's doable in Penn or TinyMUX. It is sheer hell to code, but it is doable.
You know there's a codebase that could do it better and long before Penn, Mux, or Rhost? Muck. Or Moo.
There's just a lot more support for the Mux, Penn, Rhost set. At least since Nuku went off to be a successful Furry RPG Game Company. 
Digital Ocean. I have directions for TinyMUX around here somewhere. If you want Rhost it's similar-to-identical and @Ashen-Shugar is also insanely helpful, as well as anyone on the Rhost Support Mush.
Evennia's setup is also stupid easy. That's the end of its stupid-easy, but hey, options!
For codebase: This depends 100% on your coder. I'm going to suggest Rhost over TinyMUX, but all of my code is TinyMUX so if you're starting there you're kind of stuck.
Ares if you're using FS3 and love the Portal/Scene concept. There's a lot there to love, but be sure it's the system you want beforehand.
Evennia if you're starting from 100% scratch and want to build a skyscraper taller than anything we've ever seen.

@Ganymede - whines I don't have time to run a game! Stop making me want to create an HZD game! I swore an oath to myself I would never headwiz again, and I don't want to break it. Even if it's so tempting...
I would actually code Ares to help.
But I should never staff again.

Sarkeesian is a bit of a carpetbagger.
A bit?
It’s sad that anyone can turn Feminism into a business model.
@Testament said in General Video Game Thread:
The latest controversy revolving around CDPR with Rock Paper Shotgun telling Mike Pondsmith what he should be offended with the game he created.
I was on the fence about pre-ordering.
I’m not on the fence anymore.
Remember to order through GOG to give maximum profit to the creators.
@Testament said in What Types of Games Would People Like To See?:
Original.
Theme.
Sci Fi.
I...nnh.
I don't know.
I mean, yeah, go team original-theme, but setting it up to be playable without the books or movies or seasons that everyone can rely upon sounds much harder.
I've been excited about original-theme games before but their presentation was easy to follow, fun to read, and spot-on, not just in text but their wiki's links between sections. Original themes have overhead.
I want the runners to be passionate about their original theme game. Almost every game I've seen with passionate game-runners have overcome a lot of issues.
@Darinelle said in Accounting for gender imbalances:
I hope she was the most qualified but if she WAS the most qualified and you DO hire her I do not envy the conversation you'll have to have with whoever that idiot was.
The conversation should have already taken place.
And probably should have started with a more professional version of, "Don't be a dick," and potentially ended with a call to HR.

Changeling. CHANGELING. Changeling. Changeling.
I would LOVE a game with changeling. A solo changeling game, or just CtL offered in any of the current WoD games, I don't really care. Changeling is my jam, though.

Um, spoilers!
Beyond anger to furious:
I am in a target pool for an "Apple, Inc." scam about security and it's the first kind of I've interacted with someone at this level of scam, and I found myself dialing through and swearing at the person at the other end of the phone.
Tricksy spam phone advertising makes me miffed but I feel some sympathy for the people who take those jobs, but these scammers must knowingly participate and I feel they deserve any bit of anguish I can provide them over the phone.
I've dealt with victims of the better-known "I work for Windows" security scam and sympathize with them strongly. Nobody is trying to protect the vulnerable that I get a little angry even thinking about it.
Being able to talk to one of these scammers fills me with fiery joy.
@Admiral
@Thenomain However, beating cancer doesn't make shitty behavior any less shitty.
How does what you said add to or even have to do with the things I actually said?
Go home; you’re drunk.
@surreality said in From my heart.:
also re Skydive, pretty sure that's not a sock.
I think @Skydive was talking about @Rucket being the hater.
A huge congratulations to @Scorn for beating the C and hope they continue to get better emotionally. Loss is a horrible thing, depression sucks, and as always, fuck cancer.
@Ghost said in General Video Game Thread:
@Arkandel Fallout 4 is every other 1st person Fallout
You are in-sane. FO4 has nothing on FO:NV, and I don’t think it’s story is as good as (fixed) FO3.
FO4 is a railroad adventure in an open world. Or: See the Zero Punctuation review on it.
The base building is fun for that kind of thing, tho.
@Arkandel said in General Video Game Thread:
I need to play something new. Start Fallout 4 or grab Divinity 2?
Please don't answer "yes".
Do you want to play a good game, or do you want to play Fallout?

Funny you should say that, because I'm looking at Lost Boys.
