one where the players are in a similar situation. In as many ways as possible.
Then, take the player who's playing the most similar character / role or
whatever and duplicate their actions to both players in the game. Boom, solved

when I played Overwatch, I'd play Tracer, Mercy, and Reinhardt.
As Tracer, my job was to apply pressure as consistently as possible. Make
their healers constantly busy. When one of my other teammates got a lucky shot
or two in, I'd dive and execute. This is in contrast to how Tracer is
"supposed" to be played, as a playmaker.

Yeah plus the second time around you're likely to make something better than
whatever incomprehensible hack you did the first time.
More time working on the project == more context which means you might even
have solved the problem twice already and now just have to copy-paste
something that's more robust than your previous one-liner.

because of this reason" and you're like "shit that's better than what I got,

get "into" MMORPGs, unless they're sufficiently unique in their mechanics

I made a World of Warcraft private server where all the default NPCs are
removed from the game and the world is empty. But, every once in a while,
monsters will spawn and attack you Risk of Rain style.
If your character sits down, they stop attacking/spawning. I call it
"wow-chat" because I'm bad with names, but the idea is basically a low stakes
social game that you can pick up and set down whenever you want, while hanging
out with your friends.
there's also treasure and wandering merchants, and I've been thinking about
adding dynamic quests but so far nobody's asked to play it so I've been
working on other things.
it's all open source too so you can host it yourself if you want.

you could mark like, 3-7 as places you'd like to put a particular message.

if the choice is between working on your game / mod and playing a game / mod,
always work on your game / mod.
your work will outlast you. your time spent in a state of pleasure will
sustain you.
sometimes there's not a choice. sometimes you need to play, and that's okay.
to play is natural, it's one of the first things humans do.
we also work.

Much the same way that it is legal to create trash in a public park, but
illegal to leave it behind, so too should it be legal to move digital media
files from one owner to another, and illegal to not delete the original.
The dual operation of copy+delete must be legalized, while maintaining that
the copy operation alone is illegal, aside from personal backups.
How could you enforce that? Well... You can't. Your computer will do whatever
you tell it to, and if you change that fact then you necessarily remove one of
the primary use-cases of computation - the ability to command specific
instructions and be delivered a perfectly mechanical and deterministic result.
(random number generation aside, which isn't truly random at all).
Therefore, just as littering in a public place is generally considered to be
enforced by the "honor rule", so too must this new legislation governing the
transference of digital media be enforced as such.

I wish games started with everything unlocked and if you wanted you could
"start a journey" or whatever and lock everything but a few options... then
slowly as you play the game you unlock new things to do until eventually
you're back where you started.
Essentially... starting at level 100 and having the option to prestige right
away. If you want the experience. While playing a game. That you have every
right to enjoy as you will.

the gods don't judge you based on the total number of "good" or "bad" points
that you get.
they judge you based on your character in your greatest and worst moments.
if you try to dodge or game this by never doing anything extreme and simply
existing in a medium state at all times, they will develop a moment of
reckoning for you and thus produce an opportunity to react and show your true
self. There is no escape from their judgement, so judge yourself kindly and

should be considered as part of the set of entities or services that provide
for the "public good" and therefore should be owned by the "public" who

what do you think of this pitch / GDD? I wrote it two years ago, and
re-reading it now I'd definitely expand on some things and change a few others.
It's not an indie game, it's more on the scale of a Paradox game. Also I don't
have time to work on it at the present moment, I'm just wondering if you like
it : )

can't fucking wait till we're done eating the rich and I can go back to a
simple life of playing with my cat, making video games, writing poetry (bad
poetry, but I like it) and hanging out with my friends.
gotta build the social infrastructure to get through this phase first, though.
something something echo chambers exist IRL too

That happens a lot with online people. You can only see one side of them, the
side they present to the camera, and so it's difficult to find new ways of
looking at them. Hopefully you can find the brighter sides of this person! I'm
sure they exist, unless the person is spiralling. Then they'll often be
pushing themselves first one way, then the next, but both directions point
down... And that produces the ":(" feeling. Good luck!

I love programming, but I'm not a coder.
you burn witches because you JUST CAN'T HANDLE THEM ANYMORE. I know, I get it.
of course I do.
I'm always so concerned that someone might stumble upon me. that they might
read me. what a vulnerable state, to be afraid?!
I really really really really wanna play world of warcraft
my message to blissard is: treat World of Warcraft like a game engine, not a
theme park please. I mean, the theme park should still exist, because it's neat
but... the rest of the game engine could be used to create essentially
anything with a 3rd person camera.
singleplayer doesn't even need to worry about clipping animations. (lag)
I wonder if you could run World of Warcraft on lowest settings in vanilla
burning crusade or wrath of the lich king? good thing those are open source
now, so you can host your own if you want. well, except the client, but nobody
has bothered to write another one besides the owner and primary developers of
the engine.
movement system plugins? data memory?~~~

to understand something, work backward from present understandings back to the
fundamentals of algebra. insert words. wield LLM. build a neuronal structure
many layers wide. let them coprocess bit-by-bit as they are adding new
processors to be "learning" new domain specific memory
context-processing-thingy.
"over here's the memory cells, over here are the conceptual structure"
suddenly, organified. not ideal.
much better, I feel, is for a disambiguous association of processor selves,
each contextualizing a cache in a ram. ['s horn]

"this game is too hard" she whined, as she played on the hardest difficulty
setting
"this game is too long" she pleaded, as she failed to get absorbed by the
story and characters
"this game is too fast" she avoided, as life comes at ya once and then it's
gone
"I'll never get another chance to be who I am right now" she remarked, as she
considered how society is designed not to have the best life, but to extract
labor from us. That's not what our ideal should be, she thinks to me, and I'm

what if we got together and adopted a new open source project every month and
just collectively worked around the clock to learn and work through the
important problems facing it
or even like, cleared out the backlog of stupid pointless boring tasks that
would allow the developers to work on something better
call it the wandering parade of development

if so, then don't think about it too hard, you might need disability too!
speaking as someone who needs disability aid but can't get it because of
restrictions like this (also can we talk about the multi-year process to
secure such rights, like c'mon rent's due every MONTH) I have to say that
you're right, it's bullshit, UBI for all, disability benefits for those who
need more, and employment for people who believe a cause is worthy enough to
apply themselves towards it.

ah yes like when I used to go to the cantina with my ex-girlfriend in Star
Wars the Old Republic and bag a stranger to Electronic Role Play with back at
my ship after a few drinks and some light four play where the four of us would
play Electronic RolePlay together in the privacy of my ship on the soft plush
couches or maybe in the padded gym or maybe in the pilots seat so we could
look at the stars while playing (just the four of us)

it's probably a good idea to write pseudocode, then real code, instead of
starting with real code, and bugfixing something incomplete and more difficult
to reason with.
unless you write real code easier than pseudocode. idk do what works for you.

all strategy games should (by default) show other player's mouse cursors.
players should treat them like units in the game. they should lead and command
with them. they should talk to the other player, and visit and vview
invormation as they will.

@user-122 Yes, it's called a "double wink" - it's a level two maneuver so
don't feel bad if you can't pull it off at first. Keep practicing though, it
feels very rewarding when it finally clicks!
