Broadening a thought: We'd be better off if we stopped talking about "the internet of things" and started talking about "computers don't always look like we expect them to".
Instead of saying "internet-enabled" it might be wise to say "regardless of what it looks like, that's a computer and you should treat it like one".
"Somebody hacked my fridge!" Yes, your fridge has a computer built into it and you should treat it like a computer (and demand that the manufacturer treat it like one).
Hmm. What's y'alls opinion on consquentialism? :/

one of the things i actually really like is scifi is when it's like "oh yeah the rule of humans & all society & everything that you've ever understood as 'the world' is actually the brief and transient blip, and now things have changed and it's nothing but masses of writhing eldrich horrors covering every atom of the universe for the next fifty trillion years"
Politics, social media Afficher plus
Hey all! I updated the download, hopefully it should work for everyone now? XD

Hmm. Anyone have any suggestions for good primers on knowledge representation? I have a relatively complicated web of knowledge I want to write up for my games procedural generators and feel my current methods leave something to be desired. :/
^^^^^^ Seriously anyone have any advice for me on this? I'm still not sure where to go with it. :/
OH NO! CARMEN SANDIEGO HAS STOLEN your dignity!
Seems right
"The insane are those who have seen too much of the horrors that lurk beyond the veil – Yog-Sothoth, Protestantism, whatever." XD

@hisham_hm Hey, I think your usercount bot broke. :/
Pretty sure the world will end not with a bang or a whimper but with someone's ad roll:

Hey all! So I've been working on a game. The engine is mostly done, but I haven't added much content. Right now, I'm working on getting the melee combat fine tuned. If you want to see what I've got and give me some advice, you can at the link here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/poht38r7ys8qvrp/TempleoftheElements.zip
I think it still feels a little lacking? Not quite sure what it needs. Maybe slower attack speed, and attacking slows you while you're doing it? Something to make it less "Just point and click a lot". :/
Hmm. So people often talk about how social media is bad. Do y'all think thats mostly restricted to corporate social media? Or does that extend even to Mastodon? I'll admit, I spend more time on Mastodon than I probably should, but I think it provides lots of benefit too. XD
Totally forgot todays my birthday. Whoops. XD
Alrighties, #Mastodon 2.1.2 is out: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.1.2
- A heck ton of bug fixes
- Federation optimizations
- New statistics (weekly activity!)
So I was playing Caves of Qud, and I figured out, if you have teleport other, you can use it on Argyve, Elder Irudad, and Tam, steal all their shit, and not have them get mad at you at all. :/
Every time I ride the bus through a big city, I can't help but think there's something sad but beautiful about it. All these people, trying to weave their lives together for mutual benefit. All the endless effort spent pouring concrete, laying asphalt. All the blood, sweat and tears, trying to make the world a better place. :/
Me: Hmm, it's almost 4:00 AM, I should go to bed.
Also me: But first, more mastodon. XD
