I'm interested but I've never done custom server stuff before. I'll try it out and tell you if I run into problems. I haven't even seen what gender and color I am yet! That's how long it's been since I logged on.

I joined the Democratic Socialists of America last night and I'm super excited about it. I don't know enough yet to say much more. http://www.dsausa.org/about_dsa

Surviving High School: Football Star I don't know of a way to play it anymore but here is a YouTube series I haven't watched.

This is sounding like something I'd like. There was a mobile game from a couple of years ago where you were a highschool football player and it was visual novel choices like whethet or not to steal the opposing team's mascot before the match and how to deal with drama. Then ylu would play a football minigame that felt like it influenced the story. I loved it.

Sansar is going into open beta. https://www.sansar.com/?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=openbeta&utm_content=sansar If anyone manages to get in there and fool around, I'd be curious to know your internet speeds.

I get the impression that I am only one of many people on these forums who want to include the computer-game craft in their roster of hobbies. I'd rank myself as a second degree amateur, now that I've used Game Maker to craft something where a little man with two frames of animation can walk horizontally (though he cannot turn around). One of the circumstances which has aided me in getting to this skill-level is playing games that didn't have millions spent on them and weren't necessarily made by 15 year veterans or prodigies. I've been playing a lot of the recent stuff from http://www.freeindiegam.es Much of it is barely playable, many of them don't seem to be complete. I want to make barely playable, possibily not complete games. I need the taste of success to push me forward. Complete, polished, innovative products are kinda intimidating right now. Would anyone else on the forum be interested in helping create some sort of Idle Thumbs Games Work-shop? I don't know exactly what form it should take. It could include game-jams, but also encourage projects that may take a little longer. I am imagining scenarios like someone saying "Aggg! I hate my art-assets, I can't draw a spider riding a horse!" and someone else posting that on their own accord for the pure enjoyment of doing so. It could also be a way of showcasing games that don't really deserve being showcased. I'm thinking that this may be an opportunity to use this community to encourage some amateur attempts. Low expectations are sometimes useful. Edit: Blambo has created a Google Hangout for collaboration. Edit: Twig set up an IRC channel.

I may have gotten too good at it while testing and tuning. If I make it too easy, I'm worried that simultaneous conversations will be too common. I hope people who play it play it with audio. Looking forward to playing your game sometime this week @OneGameDad

I want a single-payer system in the U.S. I think the ACA didn't do enough and isn't politically, fiscally or ethically defensible over time. I figured we could talk about single-payer a.k.a. Medicare for all a.k.a. HR.676 here. I don't typically read The Hill, but I'm curious to see what happens here as the senate enters a debate where I want single-payer to come up and be discussed as the only real viale option in the longterm. Couldn't he just force a vote on HR.676? http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/344038-gop-senator-forces-dems-to-vote-on-single-payer?amp

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/344156-democrats-reject-gop-single-payer-amendment?amp I don't understand what the calculus is that tells Democrat Senators that they shouldn't vote for a single-payer amendment even if it's a political manuever by Republicans. They have to fake non-support in purple states? So doesn't that just make them against single-payer?

So have y'all heard about the fake game problem? This guy who uses a bunch of fascist imagery will explain it to you. I really kinda want to play it, but I am having a hard time finding Air Control. It appears that the game's rarity has now turned it into a currency? I don't really want to buy it on a gray market for an inflated price. Anyone know where I can get a copy in a legitimate manner? All I can find is a game-jam (that didn't seem to take off) that was inspired by it.

I read this article because it popped up when I was searching for the one Chris was talking about where the true, evil nature of netizens is revealed from their Google searches. I assume it's the same one, but it doesn't really matter because I thought it was interesting either way. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/09/everybody-lies-how-google-reveals-darkest-secrets-seth-stephens-davidowitz

Wow. That is so much less expensive than it used to be. Cool. I hope it helps folks who want to play in VR get the hardware. ---- I tried to play the Lone Echo beta, but I was never able to get into a game. But I think Unspoken is free now?

Unity has a tutorial that would be tge beginnings of a shmup. I did it years ago and liked it a lot. It took me about 10-15 hours as someone who knew nothing. https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/projects/space-shooter-tutorial Puzzlescript seems to be the sokoban maker of choice, but I've never used it. http://www.puzzlescript.net/Documentation/documentation.html

There are a lot of options. Imagine a very small game that you would like to make. What might it be like? That information can help with a recommendation. The simplest engine I know of is one that makes a 16-frame point-and-click game.

I'm glad your job at the nuclear plant isn't interesting, but I know what you mean.

@YoThatLimp I still play. I'm very interested in playing together. Casual is fine with me.

@dewar same. I'll sit down and end up playing Overwatch and reading Twitter for two hours, but the commitment to go in and play Pinball or make a model means that I Know that I won't be doing anything else for atleast half an hour. ***** I have more than enough games to play, but I find myself wanting to see if Sansar is going to live up to my expectations. I'll likely play King Spray today around 2-3pm EST if anyone is interested in hanging out send me a dm. I'm feeling social.

$35 bidet sounds like it would be too good to be true! Glad it works. Regarding that Octavia Butler letter, survival-bias is so misleading.

Avocado does a lot for a sandwich imo. Roasted beets also work. Both are a bit slippery though.

So is the stuff ypu get for purchasingCard Crawl something that can sustain one's interest? I've optimized my matches of the free mode after 10 or so matches and it is no longer interesting to me.

@marginalgloss I've been looking for something like this(?) Basically I want a digital place that I can jot down an idea or event and that I then go back to. So I kinda need one single page I guess. I need to remember something because I see it when I write down something else. Is this a good app for that? #### Also, I finally bought a bidet. I've wanted one for a long time but they are kinda expensive and I thought installation was going to be WAY more difficult than it actually was. Here is the one I ended up getting: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UCIOWRM/ref=asc_df_B00UCIOWRM5031840/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B00UCIOWRM&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167134152438&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9885326261020640423&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9008737&hvtargid=pla-274573338601#featureBulletsAndDetailBullets_secondary_view_div_1497564917980 It is awesome. I had never used a bidet before ans I love it. Here are some things that would have cleared up misconceptions I had: -If you have a free 120volt electrical outlet on your wall near the toilet, installation takes less than an hour. You turn off the water valve on the pipe that goes to your toilet (right under it) unscrew the hose to the toilet, screw in the T-adapter (included) then screw in the old hose and the new one to the adapter. You also have to remove the old toilet seat and replace it with the mount for this one. -I still use toilet-paper but I use much less of it. The dryer is completely useless so even though this thing consistently cleans my asshole to satisfying standards, I need 2-3 squares of TP to dry my crack. -You want the oscillating function. -You can turn off the seat-warmer. -There is a difference between round and elongated seats, get the right one. It's awesome and I calculate that it will pay for itself in 5-6 years in a two-person home due to the reduction of toilet-paper. If anyone has questions feel free to ask here or DM me if embarassed. I feel the need to evangelize this thing. I'm never going back.

I think I may be more of a preach-what-you-practice type of person.

Not having children would probably be more effective. Ignore this option if you already have them though. Also, I'm pretty sure that animal-products make it more likely that you have cholesterol problems. So reducing those in your diet is not entirely selfless. Also, I think the overuse of antibiotics on livestock is making it more likely that we will die of common diseases that have been easily treatable in the past. For the record, I sometimes eat meat and I eat cheeses often. So I know that I contribute to these problems. Pro tip: instead of ice-cream, I -peel bananas and break them into chunks and place in freezer. -fill a Magic Bullet cup 3/4 full of frozen banana chunks. -add frozen blueberries -add apple-sauce -add a spoon full of chia seeds. -fill with soy milk Blend. I like the results of this recipe and with the banana/soy'milk base you can make different flavors. My wife doesn't like it though.
