Dreaming of the brighter future we could have had if these two hadn't got their funding pulled: youtu.be/Mggl7cC8iys?...

I was just thinking about 6DoF and how there are good names for pitch/roll/yaw, but not the translations. And now I know!

Is this apropos of Elite: Dangerous, or something else?

Welp, there's your problem. It's spreadsheets, so it's clearly the Black Speech.

Yeah, in the games your weapons conveniently disappear during the pre-hunt feast cutscenes. But still surprisingly accurate!

Have you been playing Monster Hunter?

Your subconscious seems to have constructed the experience of hunting an Aknosom as a lance/gunlance main from first principles.

They've also toned down the bundles a bit, so there's less need to keep up with them.

I did that exercise about a year ago. Trade you lists?

Oh man, I remember the last time I ran into those during a migration from one machine to another. Best of luck!

No, the scansion doesn't quite work on "Oh the year was twenty twenty-five", does it?

Yeah, both the solutions and the required background become more complex (leading to Wikipedia ratholes on top of coding/debugging).

Still just one extra career per character, right? They haven't added any others?

I like all of them except Outcast Engineer (who is just a bit too fiddly and dependent on situational awareness).

Welp, here I go again! I think there are new maps to try since the last time I played it?

Forcing yourself to try to learn from the answer was a challenge with StackOverflow, and it's still a challenge with ChatGPT.

But people seem more inclined to use ChatGPT all the time (probably because convenience), and to trust it more (because I don't know).

Nice! I had not heard of QE, and I'd heard of High Frontier but not Leaving Earth.

Either the heavier games on your list are quite short, or you have some friends who can play heavy games quickly. My usual board game groups struggle to finish anything heavy in less than three hours.

Relevant quote from Penny Arcade today: "I haven't been bullied like this since high school and it's churning shit up."

What if the text is a product of economic incentives because the creative process was just that jacked up?

The structure says that you have the right to bully people, and it's their problem if they can't avoid you, beat you, or accept the bullying without complaint.

That message is most transparent when players ask an existing game with optional PvP to add mandatory PvP (e.g., Elite Dangerous).

"Build a better GameSpy and offer it for free to developers" maybe belongs in there somewhere?
