How To Confound A Centaur

Centaur: Hold it right there, you can't just ride through my fields uncontested! I'll lose my credibility if we don't battle or something.

Me: That's fair. How about we–

Centaur: And it can't be a pun battle, I heard what you did to the sphinx.

Me: Darn. Okay, what if I beat you in a horse race?

Centaur: Ha! Alright, your funeral. Where's the finish line?

Me: That tree over there. Where's your horse?

Centaur: (gestures at horsey backside) Um...?

Me: You're not a horse, this is a HORSE race. You have to race with an actual horse.

Centaur: You want me... a centaur... to RIDE a regular horse.

Me: That is, linguistically-speaking, what you agreed to.

Centaur: ...

Me: ...

Centaur: I hate you.

Me: That's fair.

HN Discussion

LLM summary:

Qu Jing, the head of public relations at Baidu, faced backlash for promoting China's intense work culture in videos posted on Douyin. She refused to take responsibility for staff well-being and demanded constant availability. Qu later apologized for her remarks, acknowledging the criticism and promising to learn from her mistakes. The incident highlighted China's 996 work culture, with tech employees working long hours, and sparked discussions about modern work conditions. The PR crisis also raised questions about Qu's professionalism and her understanding of corporate values.

Delete PSPs and Rebirths, real Atlus stank hours. This localisation kind of sucks, lol.

I have a bunch of ridiculously specific questions about Tactics Ogre My Beloved, that I cannot find on search engines (DDG and Searx) or in the LUCT faq/guide. I also looked at Warren Report and Coffee Potato on youtube, no dice. If you know about it pls tell me, or embarrass me by showing me links to the answers!

• Why do Ninjas suck so bad at magic? Three damage from a FireBurn on a fire-elemented Ninja to a wind-elemented Eagleman of the same level???

• Actually what's a good strat for Ninjas generally? They're so frail.

• What governs whether or not spells like Thunder or Acid are single-tile target or five-tile targeting? I have two Valkyries with Thunder, and one casts for five tiles, the other for one tile...

• Is there a way to influence or change alignment, or is it just random and fixed?

• Does loyalty affect a unit's stats or anything?

• What even governs accuracy, just generally? Also is the RNG completely goofy?

• Why is Canopus such a heroic chad who cannot be stopped and MVP every time???

Also if anybody knows how to make PCSX derived emulators (PCSX-R, for example) load Tactics Ogre saves? The PlayStation version apparently fails to load saves from thirdparty memory cards that use compression, and Tactics Ogre on PCSX-ReArmed also fails to load saves it created. If you have any info on the PlayStation version's turbojank code, please hmu. I actually suspect that the game has poor coding overall, since the Super Famicom english translation is buggy despite being by a known group, and the PlayStation version seems hokey too. (hangs briefly during turns, aforementioned save issues, goofy text box formatting)

Hi!

As I wrote in the title I'm looking for people interested in such an endeavor. I already tried creating such a project but due to internal disagreements it didn't pan out, still I am very interested in trying this out. Game dev is very susceptible to exploitation from capitalists which is very unfortunate given that means of production are essentially socialized already - we have FOSS software like Godot that is enough to create very elaborate projects and we can collaborate remotely so no land is needed either. This makes it I think a very fruitful direction to go, because costs of game dev are not very big and returns can be big if the game is successful. I know that there is a huge competition in game dev, but given that in worker cooperative nothing is siphoned by capitalists at the top I think it's not impossible to get to the level of subsistence on game dev, while being able to affect the culture and promote cooperativism among the general population and among video game creators. I don't have a specific game dev experience but I like solving complex problems and I am interested in doing a worker cooperative, I already did quite a bit of research during my previous attempt at this type of worker cooperative and I would for this coop to get inspiration from Igalia, Motion Twin and Sociocracy. At my last project people had issues that I am fine with anti-foundationalist philosophies so please consider that I like those and I like to discuss from those lenses. I am very good at self-directed learning and I could especially do stuff like coding, design, writing plot and characters, I could research some more legalistic side of cooperative but it would be nice certainly to have someone who has some expertise here. That still leave places for people interested in audio and graphics and I am very fine with redundancy in some aspects of the required "expertise", still I am a big believer in learning by doing and getting feedback and improving based on this feedback so I am mostly looking for people willing to learn, explore and collaborate to hopefully create something cool. I would like to create games such as Planescape Torment, Disco Elysium, Hotline Miami, FTL: Faster Than Light, Spec Ops: The Line, Portal 2, Undertale, Getting Over It, The Talos Principle, Vampire the Masqurade: Bloodlines, KOTOR 2. If you are interested in this project please get in touch, we may correspond a bit and see if we would like to collaborate!

I somewhat wonder about trying to release those games on FOSS licenses (still with asking for “paying” for them to support the creators), that would be “purer” from anarchist perspective than using proprietary license but this is not something I have thought about that much. The pro would be it being impossible to get the license stolen how almost happened to Disco Elysium creators.
