That's like, five whole days! What kinds of things can you get done at work in a week? .... Oh really? That's... well, not ideal. But like... what are you doing then while at work, NOT working? Oh, it's just bullshit work you're doing? [nuts, cursing mentioned, one sec] So, like, if you aren't doing stuff... Maybe that means you're kept from your full potential doing things that don't matter to you? Huh that's not a great deal. But, uh... If you had five days to live, what would you do? It's not like you can see the world, but hey I've already done that. It's not like you can save it either, that's not something you build - rather, it's more like a garden. But I guess you can lay the foundation, give cause for the fight, and that's decent enough of a start, at least when you've only got five nights. ... I guess I got some writing to do, haven't I? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ === DIVERSITY RANKED === --- #1 messages/455 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't have any bugs in this day and age. For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory and use it there?

In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness. it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on accomplishing a different task. I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd play against a slightly different opponent. but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and it got worse and worse at what I liked about it.
