Save goodwill for when they have so much of it they are looking for someone to give it away from. When in distress, ask for dollars to be used on your behalf. When in celebration, ask for goodwill to be used on your behalf. I'm still trying to save capitalism, individualism, and our way of life from its own jaws as it eats it's own tale. Part of that means pulling the tail right back out, and another part is pulling the teeth back. Gotta do both. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/845 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────── What if landlords acted like banks instead of subscription services? "sure I'll hold onto your money and invest it wisely and sparingly, according to the direction of the collectively desired expression of all of the tenants and their expressions during the expressing hour, which is every Tuesday at noon when we all get together (everyone who wants to come) and talk about what projects we want to fund and which ones would be best for the community. If there's any prophets giving profit on any of your stocks or saving bonds that we hold in your honor dear tenant then it will be reinvested into the same projects you told us to care about. If you start being a dick though and we want you gone, we can short-sell all your options and say "hey find a new part of town" that way you have a bit of a dowry to offer the housing payment people when you show up with your tail between your legs. What's that? You don't get how this would bring income to the property, whatever that means, and you worry that it wouldn't be implemented because what does it even do? Well my dear citizen i will explain it to you. When the post-office holds your funds for you and invests according to your general and vague directions, it builds up wealth in the local economy. They can use those dollars for productive ends like replacing the windows or the gutters or clearing the snow paths in the springfallautumn. This will be drawn from the collective pool and everyone is affected equitably. How much income do you make? Okay that determines your rent percentage. High income means you pay for the local ecology more, and low means that you need more time to build up wealth, which will enable it to benefit those around the place more readily." ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/846 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────── Blizzard should make more than one animation style for swinging your weapon - as you level up, the style "tweens" between however many combat palettes you made. So, like, maybe they swing their sword +/-15 degrees each time to simulate the pseudo random nature of combat. Or maybe they start occasionally stepping into a maneuver Which the player doesn't consciously control. Instinct, if you will. The body reacting to its [sensory organs, but pronounced "surveyor"] Anyway i think by adjusting the monster characters in WoW should wander around and gather within sight of a player. Seeking you out, waiting for a critical threshold of their peers. Then, when you allowed or slowed down to examine a bit of "this-or-here", (quests) they would gang up on you and ambush! Bwaha just watch out for the mob (kinda like that scene in the second book of The Book of Malazan series where they're wandering through a desert storm and meeting all sorts of strange sorts of people) Anyway in seeking to improve the player's view-time, i decided it would feel the most impactful to do the design related things related to things like making the gameplay the most visceral. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5106 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────── "just design your cities radially around a bus-stop. boom, transportation infrastructure solved" such confidence. such a lack of... geography. what about cities built on the coast? "idk, just have a half-circle or something for the part that's under-water. Leave some gaps for wildlife and such to make it to the water and then build a biiiiiiiig stone wall between our access point and theirs. Boom, free regionally personalized safaris for every state with a watering hole." okay but what about the parts that are already there? "oh like the buildings and such? well, people can still live in them but to build anything NEW, you need to obey the demands of the blueprint exactly. So if your specific build-plot intersected with one or more plots that had buildings on them that are currently inhabited by their rightful owners who are there under their own will and not duressed or compelled to leave or stay in any way?" ... yeah, like the. buildings. Right. so grid-based vs radial (with room between 4 animals) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────┴───────────┘ |
