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.

My only complaints are that I want more clothes and that if you pick male the sex appeal slider makes your crotch bulge and female your chest.
They should have been separate sliders, duh :P
Let's trade bosses. Holy shit that is awesome.
I think I may have noticed it on your bookshelf!
economics underwent a revolution with Paul Samuelson, who practically invented the whole field as it exists today during the 1950s. It's like comparing physics without linear algebra to physics with it.
... which means that mining classic texts for insights can be useful, but not very productive without the modern toolset. At best you re-invent Samuelson. At worst you pick the wrong side of an ancient long-resolved dispute and wander down the merry road toward fringe theory.
when i popped it, it exploded all over the mirror
isn't that an unlockable in the tech tree in Heart of the Swarm
True, but bluegrass music is just Irish music filtered through bad education and shitty bourbon.
now I kind of want to play SR again.
I had a lot of princess outfits going.
I also had a lot of cars. Sometimes I would own multiples of the same car so I could have it in black and white depending on mood/attire.
These things are important.
Wealth of Nations is very readable, actually.
I'm also very fond of Thorstein Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class.
Actual Play: Mage: the Awakening - At the Edge of All Things
Mostly it's just really fun to drive really fast, dress up, and shoot rocket launchers at pedestrians.
I like your style.
More games need to be like up to four or eight person coop.
Atomika and you and I should be able to connect and have the craziest trio of classy people fucking up pimps.
Hmm. Will bear this in mind.
I am a terrible subject whore. I flit from interest to interest as and when I get bored and things present themselves for consideration. Economics is obviously in the news a lot so it is the target of a lot of consideration at the moment.
I have an exam in June and then nothing until my next course starts in October so I'm thinking about what to do in the interim.
SOunds good to me. I never played co-op SR so that sounds like lulz. Actually ... hmm. I need to reinstall. I wonder if I have my old saved game.
you can go ahead and have fun describing what's happening on Therum
I haven't either, actually. It's only two players, also, I think - I just meant that it should be more (and while we're at it approximately 100% of games should be co-op).
But yeah I have a friend who has it and I got it partially to co-op with him and never did, but need to because it sounds hella fun. Plus then I can admire my looks more since I have cover and need to spend less time bustin' heads.
Galbraith's The New Industrial State is wonderful in capturing the 1960s economic policy zeitgeist, and for being accidentally prescient.
Which is to say boooooooooooring.
I've noticed that a lot of scholarly works of that era are.
I think it comes from the fact that many of the people writing them were assuming an audience that was educated, but not necessarily a subject specialist.
What the heck is Irish music then?
The one Atomika posted?
I think that's current. I'm fairly sure the narrator is David Mitchell.
Hrm. Maybe I should have been more patient in creating my dude.
one thing they had was breakfast ramen
i googled and found the recipe for the broth:
good god
the mentions of hayek and friedman and keynes did not accurately capture any of them! :nerdrage:
Drink brandy and watch DBZ Abridged.
and lobster baos with chili butter
and a really good bloody mary with ginger
"There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing." -- Andrew Jackson
I played through the entirety of Tales of Symphonia with a friend of mine and most of Tales of the Abyss, and a lot of FFVI with another.
I will turn anything that lets you have two inputs into a coop game.
Also I fucking love Tales games and need to find a girlfriend or roommate or someone that does too and we'll play through them cooping all the battles and do amazing synergy attacks and it'll be amazing
ALSO IT LITERALLY JUST OCCURRED TO ME that that thing I want to do to the ends of my hair, with white and red?
Totally didn't come up with it, got it from Tales of Graces' quirky genius inventor science girl, Pascal:
My point is I like coop games.
I... think.
Keep watching until Steve Carrel leaves the show.
Neverwinter you nerd.
Marvel Heroes is just a boring co op game.
That is a common gripe about OU marketing materials. The idea is to basically go "Hey! Isn't this interesting?" in the hopes people will sign up for courses on that basis.
And they do.
Play Terraria with me this weekend.
cosma shalizi observed that krugman's pop econ writings have a generic flavour of just smacking stupid theories with five-minute look at data. Over and over again.
the sophistication that audiences expect has rather declined, perhaps.
And then Friedman went balls crazy the other way.
But also introduced falsifiable hypothesis as the basis. Which is good. But then he also screwed up by saying do the falsifiable hypothesis just don't look at the man behind the curtain aka the assumptions. Because those shouldn't be held to the same standard if the hypothesis part works.
And then North came along and said fuck that your assumptions must hold up to both modern and historical scrutiny.
I like North.
I might be busy, but if I'm not, sure.
I find his NYT columns more intellectual masturbation about how awesome he is.
