@auspice Or in a way that intentionally traumatises innocent people, like the frequent occurrence of people jumping in front of trains.

Technically this is game-related, but it's also a random link. So deal with it.

On Being A Good Player - Matt Colville

@coin That just means she cares.

Unless you think it's too soon to see each other's mucus-dripping nostrils and stuffy noses and red eyes and shit

The true test of any relationship.

@shincashay Well. That's less interesting.

If it was just "a half dozen game owners [...] posting regularly" then it was probably decided that it wasn't worth the work to maintain it.

viral laryngitis that she gave me

@thenomain 'Noirpunk' conjured images of Blade Runner to my mind. I've no idea if this is accurate, but that's what I got.

@arkandel Given how indecisive I am at the best of times, I don't think the high-stress environment of a Starcraft tournament would be any better. I'd get worse lag from brain-to-game than by using a keyboard.

@arkandel That's what you get for not having four hands.

@thenomain said in AresMUSH Updates:

I think that if anything killed interest in Mass Effect, it was the ending of ME3.

Which turned into poor sales for Andromeda... which was only made worse by the bugs and so forth. It started with ME3's ending, and the final nail in the coffin was Andromeda's terribad release.

walking in another persons shoes damnit

Not my shoes. I like my shoes. They can have my degenerating lumbar spine though.

@ixokai I get delays occasionally, but only on a few select places and I have to assume it's a bit of a connection lag between me and the game. Else it acts the same as any other client.

No, I'm not "too young to be tired all the time." I work long hours, raise three children, and go fuck yourself I'm tired.

@saosmash But if nobody loses, then how can anyone win?!?!?!?!?!

(Note: This is sarcasm.)

@ganymede

Interestingly that is almost what the conversation was about. Except more modern economics and business accounting tax structures which they know nothing about but they watched business movies like Wolf of Wallstreet and thought they did.

I would never have thought of Wolf of Wallstreet as a business movie...

@arkandel They were like fourteen... but they also weren't really keen on the whole 'parental supervision' thing either...

@ganymede To be fair, arguing to the death is basically the entire plot. So at least it's on brand.

@sunny Do we have the same mother?

@arkandel said in MSB, SJW, and other acronyms:

In a forum that's largely about presenting ideas for others to comment in it would be counter-productive to discourage the concept of 'attacking' them. That's what peer reviews are about, after all; you invite conversation

Peer reviews are a central part of my job, and I can assure you that not making the other person feel attacked is an integral and essential part of a peer review. Read any of the million articles on effective peer reviews if you don't believe me.

There is a vital difference between a criticism and an attack.

On the other hand people that submit things for peer review are, on the whole, expecting criticism and willing to accept and embrace it. Discussion of this kind requires that two-way-street thinking, that many 'average' people don't invest in learning. So we don't see as much of it here.
