my favourite thing about b'tak is how he posts authoritatively about how boring lovely minutiae will work in the imaginary game in his head that will never exist

blueberrysmith posted:These are some prime candidate questions for the next reverse the verse. More importantly, can I play this farming gene-splicing mini-game while hiding in a crate for hours while my prey puts me aboard their ship? Will the corn be fully grown by the time I pop out of my crate in order to take over my opponent's ship? These are the questions that keep me up at night. I'm going to hide for five hours in a big bag of soil on some guys ship and then jump out and steal all the unsuspecting 'commandos crops when they are busy mixing drinks for each other

Google Butt posted:Good into to peaty malts. If you want a cask strength sherry malt, the ablerlour a'bunadh is the poo poo. If you want to go a little more expensive, I just got the old pulteney 17 and it's a very compete and complex single malt.. Need some more time with it but I think it's over taken the a'bunadh as my current favorite. Thank you I will put these on my list to look into as well!

Eonwe posted:Where'd you get your av a long time ago I made a thread about drawing dogs with your eyes closed and then re-drawing the results as actual dogs, and garbage day gave me an av made of one of the dogs in the thread which had a fish tail and knives for hands. a few years later someone else drew the weird dog in my av even bigger in another thread in new gbs and he gave me a giant avatar of it at the same time as the gang tag for convincing people in the music forum that arcade fire's rap influences made me want to get into hip hop

eightace, serious question, is there any sense of general unease or like 'something is wrong here' as a mood with the devs? I have a friend who is a coder,, really loves his work and tends to do 6-months ish contracts. Prides himself on working on a project towards results. Recently he had a job where he could just tell something was weird, no money seemed to be made on this product, there were mysterious investors and the goalposts for the work they were doing were constantly being moved. The whole feeling of it was like it was just make-work to give the appearance of a business and it was driving him mad because he likes to see tangible progress in his job. Weird things kept happening then it all suddenly liquidated before Christmas. It sounded like a big money laundering scheme, and a common feeling of people working there was that something was not quite right and a lot of them bailed before poo poo hit the fan. The whole thing reminded me of star citizen and I wondered if there is any sort of current of unease like that

EightAce posted:Anyone that has ever made an actual game before knows its totally , completely and irredeemably hosed . Beyond hosed , ....fisted even . That's horrible  my friend at least felt able to talk about it, to feel like it's this crushing millstone around your neck is really not nice. One other thing he said is that some people had this horrid fascination where they wanted to stay just to see how it ended, like they should quit but just find the whole thing so surreal that they wanted to ride it out, but also didn't want to have a black mark on their cv.

EightAce posted:The games industry is a very different beast. There are not that many jobs and not that many secure companies so when you land a decent gig you eat all the poo poo they throw at you until someone a bit higher up in the firm puts their CV around. I honestly feel so bad for devs who got a job there to make a fun spaceship mans game and are now chained up in some nightmare heironymus bosch painting of a work environment

Like idiots already buy ships anyway, people used things to make sure they had the fastest click first to buy a javelin when there was a limited sale and there was only concept art, why waste time making an in game showroom when they could be making a game

Imagine you're a stylist and your canvas is fat dopey moron with hair that looks poo poo no matter what, I'd shove him in a black turtleneck too because he will look insanely lame in any item of clothing so might as well just go for the least offensive

Beet Wagon posted:I'm always so torn with e-cigarette/vaporizer/robot dildos. On the one hand, I use one and finally helped me kick my smoking habit, which is great. On the other hand I loving hate everyone I see who has one and it makes me resent myself. At least I go outside to do it though, nothing is worse than standing somewhere and some dude pulls out his giant lightsaber hilt and takes a Cheech and Chong comedy-sized bongrip off it, filling the entire room with strawberry. Oh my god. Such a good dog

Revelation 2-13 posted:You probably already read it, but if you like City of Stairs, read Perdido Street Station (and the rest of that trilogy if you like it). It's astoundingly good, is written in a similar style and has quite a few similarities (the mystery aspect and amazing world building for example). I prefer China's prose, but that's a personal taste thing I'm sure. I found Mistborn to be a little too teeny, but good nonetheless. City of blades a good followup to stairs? all of that trilogy is great, The Scar is one of my favourite books

A while back someone did a really good Animal Farm post and I think it's a neat analogy overall, with a slow bait and switch for expectations and cognitive dissonance as true believers try to justify each incremental stupid lovely excuse for cutting content like the star marine 'it was inside you all along' line

EightAce is there a collective internal groan knowing that Chris will be around more? Like is it a generally understood thing that him being there more equals less getting done and more scrapping things and re-doing it/aggressive helicoptering?
