You sound absolutely unreasonable. I completely agree and feel the same way, though. I can't stand them.
I've explained hundreds of different games over the years and top-down is always the way to go:
- "This is the theme and how to win" ↓
- "These are the things you need to win and these are the things that will hinder you" ↓
- "This is how each round is structured so you can get/avoid those things".
If you do it bottom-up then people ask, "Why would I want that?" or "What's that for?" and you're constantly replying, "I'll get to that".
Practice rounds are one of my favorite ways to do it, but sadly my current group doesn't like them. Definitely the way to go if you can, though.--
I thought it was Patrick Rothfus. Now I'm not so sure.
If it added value then I wouldn't be opposed. But I don't see what value AI could possibly add to a social network. Some specific fields, like researchers combing through large data sets, have benefitted from AI. Every other place it's been shoehorned into has suffered for it.
If you see a problem and realize AI could address it, then that's fantastic. If you're coming at it from the other direction and looking for problems then you're going to waste everyone's time.
Just finished the D&D set with my kiddo, who is obsessed with D&D. It's a lot more fragile than most sets, but the monsters are all really fun.
Midwest US was going to be my first guess. Not uncommon behavior around here.
It was the original definition of "gooning": wikipedia
Sadly the traumatic kidnapping was generally the least bad part of the experience, since the camps were/are incredibly abusive.
Didn't both genres, tower defense and MOBA, evolve from Warcraft III mods / custom levels? I don't think it's too outlandish to get them confused if you aren't into them.
This is my philosophy too. If you're gonna do it then there's no harm in doing something fun first, and if it's still bad tomorrow you can finish it then. Having suicide as an option always on the table is a bit freeing, honestly. Momento mori and all that.
Wow, I had no idea. I wonder how many still believe that.
In my anecdotal experience chiropractors are often drawn to pseudoscience in the US. The last one my spouse went to was handing out anti-vacc pamphlets to the patients. I'd never seen such aggressively dumb ones before, just the usual scummy claims of being able to cure Crohn's disease and such.
I can't speak for the desktop side, but for my server it's been running without interruption for years. About once per week I do something stupid and use all available memory, but it hasn't crashed once. It just runs a bit slow until I free up some RAM, then Docker comes back to life once I free up some disk space. I definitely recommend it for anyone who wants a server OS that just works.
