Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

I don't mean gods. And I don't mean values. It's a hard concept to define, but worship is pretty close. Not that kneeling fawning Christian worship, but worship as in adore, aspire to, take on as a central part of your identity. Define yourself by. That's much bigger than 'to value'. And as he says, it can be a tremendous intellectual and emotional trap.
He says it better than I can, and it needs the context of the whole speech to make proper sense. But it rings true to me.
I am! Though still sporting my tan and bug bites from Bali.
Got kendo tonight. I am going to get thrashed. It is nice to be getting back into the swing of things at work though.
How is you?
Walking lots with the fiancee (12 km today) losing weight, also sorting out money so we can get me a ps4 and her a new iMac since she wants a larger workspace then the macbook allows.
Yeah, I probably just need to see it in the context of the whole speech. It doesn't also help that all (but one) of the things he puts forth as examples in believing in are religious, and all the bad things you can put your belief in are not.
But yeah, seems I would need to read/listen to the whole thing.
I realized almost immediately that you must be referring to a game.
But it was more fun to imagine that you were musing to yourself about possible career paths.
lol indeed
Whereas I immediately thought,
"NBC announces the next show it will promote the heck out of, then cancel after the first episode."
I just need to decide what I want to build miniature men for (perhaps just models I think are cool, or perhaps for a game).
I found a hobby shop in my area where I can procure the tools of the trade, finally.
LOUD NOISES!
I'm in the beta. It's a good game, though still a little shallow last I checked.
Everything is very cartoony, and there aren't many philosophical or ethical themes really presented, so there isn't much squick factor. It reminds me of a very basic overland Dwarf Fortress, given the population management and NPC temperament control mechanics.
Old PA forum lookalike style for the new forums.
... I thought the answer was always global domination..
If there's options, then I need to re-evaluate everything I know
actual workspace she is an artist.
oooh rad!
Have you heard of/played Ryuutama before? Japanese TRPG, described as being like Ghibli meets Oregon Trail
The PDF of the core book is free now, so I have been reading what little I can
Yeah 720p and 13 inch screen isn't large enough for her and my PlayStation monitor doesn't have good enough and accurate enough color for her to use for actual work, also no good if I'm trying to use it for my computer or play console games.
It's like you have a life of sex, drugs and techno awesome that prevented you from seeing this movie when it came out.
I got a couple people in our Miyagi area that have expressed interesting in doing something D&D-esque. Getting the logistics of everyone could meet up could be tricky, but worthwhile.
Err, not that you're imprisoning mindworms, just, y'know, making you confront the idea that progress is not necessarily good
Stuff like an emphasis on the psychology of what you're doing to the prisoners and spirals of violence between prisoners and guards, exploiting prisoners as labor, etc
This is best. Like, being able to decide what fits your personal style, while not having one style be game-breaking over another is great game design in my opinion
Those Onion-Belt motherfuckers that invented rock-paper-scissors can suck it.
'Sup chat?
Roll 1d20 for penetrations
Good times.
but caching is how all efficient minds work
it doesn't matter how much you introspect, if you have to derive everything from first principles every time, you're going to waste a lot of effort. efficient caching of reasonably robust insights is the way to go. he is right that humans form subconscious rules of thumb; he is wrong on when it is necessary to re-evaluate them.
Just from you. Where can I get the PDF please?
I am mostly just using it to learn new words and such
also look at the pretty art
I have the link at home, but I am currently phone posting
will notify you when I post 'er up
Soooo... you're endorsing the concept of a spank bank? :winky:
what else should i watch on netflix?
I found this:

And a page full of downloads:

you... derive a bank from first principles? I don't wanna know. :rotate:
Hmm! Those aren't where I grabbed the full book, but it might be around there, I do not know, I am Johnny Ignoramus in this space
The page I had was pretty much just a "this is the Ryuutama core book, click here to get the PDF"
seemed like an actual wider book sellin' website or something of the sort
I'll be home in a bit under an hour!
