I just want Dwarf fortress except you're two foot tall gnomes and everything is scaled up (bears are mega beasts) and an apprenticeship system I've been crafting in my head to teach skills and a reworked guild system I've also been working out in my head and...
re: "all SBMM is bad just implement a server browser"
here are two threads, one on the implementation of SBMM in Halo 2 and 3 by Max Hoberman: the man who wrote the implementation, and lead designer at Bungie starting during their days making Oni, and current CEO of Certain Affinity. this is part 1 of 2, and i encourage you to read the follow up as well.
ALL THIS CHOCOBO STUFF IS WEAKSAUCE
YOUR FANTASY MOUNT SHOULD BE CORGWN
AND INTEGRATE ALL THE WELSH DEEPLORE ABOUT FEY RIDING CORGI INTO THE SETTING
SADDLES AND ARMOR AND THEY FIGHT ALONGSIDE YOU
>ERM BIG CARNIVOROUS ANIMAL AS BEAST OF BURDEN HOW DOES THAT WORK? HOW DOES A PREMODERN SETTING FEED THEM EN MASSE? 🤓
THEY EAT MAGIC YOU FUCKIN BITCH
THEYRE NORMAL SIZED BUT HAVE MAGIC THAT MAKES THEM EMBIGGEN MAGICALLY AND WONDEROUSLY AND MYSTERIOUSLY AND ITS INNATE TO THEM AND NOT QUANTIFIABLE OR EXTRACTABLE ITS PART OF THEIR NATURE
@nugger
My issue with the chocobos is that they're just reskinned horses. Them being birds literally means nothing. I don't think I've even heard mention of their feathers once. Even riding ostriches would be more interesting because the writer would almost certainly be forced to consider ostrich specifics and as such would be more alien despite being a real creature.
People who don't like being made fun of or don't like criticism are extremely painful to be around. Please take yourself lightly instead of requiring everyone around you to handle you so delicately

I'm sure if you don't answere right you don't get any chance of in, but also most of the questions have obvious right answers and so catfishing your way in doesn't seem too difficult.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@coolboymew@mushroom_soup
Many of the questions are things like 'will you do an std test?' and 'will you rape people?' and 'will you wear a condom?', easy questions for a dishonest incel to bypass.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@coolboymew@mushroom_soup
The only incel gathering place I know of even in passing is looksmax (assuming it's still around), but I totally support spreading this to incel forums.

I do believe there is much to be said about the malice behind the holocaust, at least in the official narrative. Covid is a disease, a possibly natural but at the least not actively malicious entity.
@jeffcliff@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@Angie_rasmussen@CrustyB@cjd@haberdasher
I think, THINK, it's just that you have more brains then sense, and when disusing things you've been educated on you can follow the correct routine, but cannot improvise. Every time you show up in my timeline I see the same pattern from you and have no real grasp on what causes you to go insane.
@jeffcliff@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@Angie_rasmussen@CrustyB@cjd@haberdasher
>I'm smart, I said so!
People don't lack critical information, all the evidence they've seen points towards covid being fake or negligible. That's what I've seen in my actual life, that' what everyone's seen with their own eyes. But what you do is demand they trust wizards out there in the ivory towards of academia and medicine (both of which are rightly regarded as malicious pathological lairs by many) and demand they take in on fiath that they tell the truth, rather than what they've observed themselves. And it will be on faith because normal people cannot decipher the papers and articles you shove at them. Technical language requires technical training. Only someone trained in statistics is equipped to take anything not simple and clean cut with any degree of certainty. But you can only communicate in one way.

>Except the people who actually deal with the sick and dying, who have been screaming at anyone who will listen to them. And of course, the increasing millions of disabled and damaged.
Not where I'm at, covid just simply didn't happen here. The only uptick in attendance at the only clinic with urgent care for miles in every direction was hypochondriacs and people panicking about allergies or colds. I know this because a family friend is a doctor working there. And I trust what's in front of me over what I hear online every single time.
>OK that is a pathological stance in and of itself.
How many times do the institutions of authority who work in ways completely alien and incomprehensible to me have to lie to me before I'm allowed to distrust them? Do you really not understand why people don't listen to liars?
>No, not faith. I demand actually paying attention enough to the evidence in the event of a global fucking crisis situation.
But without the ability to read the evidence they must take it on faith and trust. If something is cited in a language you don't know you must put faith in the translator. And you must first convince them that it is a crisis before they start responding to it as such.
>Then that's the problem, right there. If you can't understand the world around you and aren't educated enough to form an informed opinion based on the available information, that's one thing, but if you then use that as an excuse for inaction in the face of collective risk, putting others in danger through your inaction that makes you a problem.
Yes Jeff, most people will never be able to be scientifically educated. It's simply the way humanity is. Just like not every person can be a programmer and a mechanic and a historian and a chef and a theologian. People must put their trust in those who have specialty, and defer to their authority. But if they don't trust their authority they have to venture forth anyways the best they can. This is not a problem that can be solved, or really worked around. It is simply a feature of humanity. Just as wind is something that must always be contended with when dealing with the outdoors ignorance must always be contended with when dealing with the masses, in every field.
>Sure. And I expect anyone who's making strong statements about covid to either have some basic understanding of statistics or to not spread unqualified bullshit
But you expect them to spread your unqualified bullshit. Because without understanding the qualification it is effectively unqualified.
>There's plenty of ways to communicate. Digital "new media" might offer a near endless variety of possibilities.
I meant the form you communicate in not the forum. You use only one style of argumentation, academic logic. In which appeal to authority is a key component.

>I forgot you're a troll.
I'm not a troll, I am being fully senescence, and until you acknowledge that I will not engage anymore with you; because there is no point if you can only comprehend people who disagree with you as disingenuous.
idk if anyone read my thread on the "Bungie is gigafucked" stuff a month or so ago. I regret to inform you that it has gotten even worse. I do not currently have the energy to TLDR it in detail anymore, but all you need to know is that when (not if, at this point) Bungie goes under and gets absorbed completely by Sony, it's probably going to be the biggest waste of developer talent the games industry has seen since the Respawn devs left CoD. And even that is a paltry comparison. its BAD
